How common are counter-offers in Quantity Surveying?

All A-grade candidates in the Quantity Surveying market will receive a counter-offer.

The simple reason for this is that it's cheaper to give somebody a pay rise than it is for them to rehire and retrain.

What can you do about this?

When making your offer...

1. Make it one they can't resist (this means including details around the salary, but also the career and development opportunities you're offering, any additional and personalised perks and benefits, and highlighting your excellent company culture).

2. When presenting your offer be enthusiastic and be specific about why you think they will do will in your company and role.

If your candidate then receives a counter-offer...

1. Listen and be empathetic
2. Match the offer (if you can)
3. Let them know you've presented your best offer
4. Leave them with a positive impression of you and your company no matter what decision they make.
