Need to Recruit More Applicants? Offer Them a Product Discount

Many search for jobs because they seek more buying power, so why not offer qualified applicants a product discount to meet that interest? Yes, when you’re struggling to acquire talent in these low-unemployment times, application incentives can be a key motivator and differentiator. And for recruiting leaders who are trying to be more strategic, this approach has the added advantage of increasing the business impact of the recruiting function by bringing in more customers. If you are worried about increased costs, well-designed product/service discount application incentive will likely, over time, bring in enough sales revenue to more than offset any initial costs from the discount.
