Often, with counter offers, your current employer will offer you more money to see if that will make you stay.

Sometimes a lot more money.

Well, just be a little careful here. More money is great but were you looking to leave because of your basic salary in the first place?

If not, then; the work you didn't like, the manager you didn't like, and the company culture you didn't like will still be there.

You're just making a little more money – so you need to weigh whether that's worth it?

Would you design, build and install a new bathroom yourself?

No, you probably wouldn't.

Unless you dabble in a bit of carpentering in your spare time, you're more likely to do some research, read some reviews and then contact a specialist.

Bathrooms are expensive, so you'll want to make sure the person you've contacted knows what they're doing and is a specialist in their field. After all if they make a mistake it could be very costly.

The same can be said for your finance team.

There are benefits to working with a specialist recruiter and it could save you money in the long run.

Are you fed up being ghosted by recruitment firms? Are you not getting any answers on what's happening with your applications?

Let's talk about transparency in recruitment.

Often when we are speaking to candidates, they have trust issues with recruitment firms. This is due to them having poor experiences in the past where a consultant has said they would send their CV across for a job, but then they never hear from them again...

They have no way of knowing what stage their application is and if the Consultant even sent their CV in the first place!

With iMultiply our candidates don't need to think like this. Instead, each candidate can log in to our online portal available on our website to see the status of their applications. It's an entirely transparent process!

Did you know you could do this? If you are a candidate, log into our online portal and have a look at your profile.

Have you gone to hand your notice in and your current employer has countered with what you wanted, more professional development?

When you're first offered this opportunity, you might think, amazing! All my issues are solved.

But really think about this one.

Could this be a false promise? Before making any decisions, you need to ask them what changes they will make (specifically) to meet your issues and improve your 'quality of job'.

And you should consider your longer-term employability too. Great to have spent 10, 15 plus years in the same organisation. But if that's the only place you've worked, it might be a good idea to diversify your employment background and move on.

For more advice on what to do it you get a counter-offer, read our blog on the website:

Thank you for the Feedback Rosie!

You can read the full case study of our work with Accountability on our website.

"I was very impressed by their collaborative approach and what they achieved as a team. Accountability is a non-traditional accountancy business. We needed someone with a unique skill set, not just someone with an accountancy practice background. It was not long before we had three exceptionally high calibre candidates at the interview stage, and we could have hired all three!"

Have you received your exam results, which aren't what you hoped for?

Juggling between work, study, and personal life can be stressful.

However, there are those people for whom exams are a breeze, always passing each paper with flying colours and never having to take a re-sit.

Those lucky enough to be amongst that number won't experience the stress and anguish that exam failure can bring. These feelings can be enhanced when your exam performance is directly linked to your employment contract.

Our public practice consultant Carla Heron shares her advice for those who have received disappointing news over the weekend and why you shouldn't lose hope.

Do you have an interview coming up but don't know how to answer competency-based questions?

When answering competency-based questions, you must pick a particular day, project, or situation to answer the question. However, make sure you don't fall into the trap of answering by giving an example of how you apply this competency every day.

For more hints and tips on how to ace your interview reach out to a member of the multiply team.
