Just this week, I was called by a local reporter wanting my take on candidates "job shopping" or waiting until they got multiple offers to take any of them and leveraging one offer against the other to get the best offer for themselves. Said journalist, had been contacted by a RPO firm to run a story on this "new fad" and the impact it has on an organization.
Now, I am not someone with 20 years of experience behind me, but even I know that this has always been in the marketplace. Obviously, when the economy is bad, candidates aren't getting as many offers and the occurance of this decreases, but it still goes on with AMAZING candidates - regardless of the market situation.
Am I the only person in the world a bit shocked that someone would think this is a "new" thing that must be leaking in from overseas?
Oh well...
