CJPI Releases Latest Research Findings On Subject Of Why Candidates Turn Down Jobs

Executive search and consulting firm, CJPI, has published its latest research on the nature of candidate job refusal. This newest piece, hosted on their blog, breaks down the motivations of candidates who turn down job offers, and insights that can be gleaned from the stats.

England, United Kingdom – June 19, 2024

CJPI, an executive search recruitment firm that specializes in helping organizations find their senior leaders, managers, and high-level professionals, has published a new piece on its blog, compiling research in order to answer the question of why candidates turn down job offers. With a history of leading discussions in the recruitment sector, the firm has compiled data on factors affecting the industry, aiming to develop insights into the behavior and needs of job candidates.


Looking across the general population (varying roles, industries, and salary levels) CJPI found that 20% of all job offers were turned down by candidates globally. What’s more, 29% of these rejections were due to salary and benefits not meeting the expectations of the candidates. Other reasons for rejections include a better offer elsewhere (21.2%), relocation issues (19.7%), or even a negative candidate experience during the hiring process (up to 52%).


The piece breaks down three of the primary reasons for declining job offers, such as negative interview experience, inadequate compensation, and company culture. It also offers a host of solutions and suggestions to help organizations reduce their own rates of being turned down by clients. For instance, in response to the problem of candidates reporting that their interviewers sometimes appeared unprepared or uninterested, which reflects poorly on the organization, the post suggests ensuring that interviewers are well-prepared, professional, and offer clear communication about the role, salary, and expectations, and company policies can alleviate many concerns candidates might have. 


As a leading figure in the executive search and recruitment industry, CJPI routinely posts its insights into the industry and the nature of the high-end labor market. These include advisory pieces on topics like looking for recruitment partners, as well as breakdowns of facts and statistics about the recruitment world. Their latest piece, like the rest, can be found on the “Insights” page, accessible directly through the website.
