Then you painstakingly guide them through the interviewing process. But just when the finish line is in sight, they suddenly bolt or reject your offer. What went wrong? While you can\u2019t control everything that happens during the hiring process, committing any of these mistakes at the eleventh hour can cause a talented, in-demand tech pro to get cold feet:<\/p>\n<h3>Making a Lowball Offer<\/h3>\n<p>While a line manager may view a lowball offer as a starting point and a call for negotiations, that\u2019s not the way tech pros see it. They view a deliberately low offer as an insult and a sign that your company doesn\u2019t value their abilities. In fact, failing to hit the candidate\u2019s compensation target is the top reason why job offers are declined, according to a<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mcquaig.com\/blog\/the-top-5-reasons-candidates-reject-your-job-offer\"> survey<\/a> from the McQuaig Institute. Case in point: when an unemployed tech pro received an offer that was $10,000 less than the salary discussed in the interview, she concluded that the employer was trying to take advantage of her status and decided to pursue other opportunities, according to Bob McIntosh, a career strategist who counsels professionals. \u201cYou should be managing expectations early on in the hiring process because you can\u2019t afford to miss the mark on compensation,\u201d advised Catherine Byers Breet, who has witnessed numerous botched closings as founder of ARBEZ, which markets career coaching. \u201cOffering lower salaries with larger bonuses or stock options can come as a shock to the candidate and fall short of their expectations.\u201d Jeff McKenzie, managing solution architect at Information Control Company (ICC), put it this way: \u201cGoing through the hiring process is an investment of time and, naturally, cost. As a potential candidate, you want that investment to be respected and returned.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Bait and Switch<\/h3>\n<p>Springing last-minute changes in job duties, titles, office location, projects, training, travel requirements, on-call time or compensation not only violates the candidate\u2019s trust, but puts everything back on the table. If you\u2019ve been testing your offer and trial closing all along (as you should), changing the terms of employment at the offer stage sabotages your efforts. As recruiting guru Lou Adler said: \u201cCandidates accept offers based on what they\u2019ll learn, do, and become in comparison to other opportunities.\u201d To close tech pros with in-demand skills, don\u2019t include anything in the offer that differs from previous discussions.<\/p>\n<h3>Vague, Unwritten Offers<\/h3>\n<p>Tech pros who\u2019ve been around the proverbial block a few times know that a handshake promise to provide flex time, extra vacation or the opportunity to work on high-profile projects can become null and void if their manager ups and leaves; that\u2019s why they like perks offered in writing. In similar fashion, a passive candidate is not going to quit a secure job unless they receive a professionally drafted offer letter and have time to review copies of the employee handbook, benefit manual, employment contracts or non-compete agreements. Yet many companies either won\u2019t provide written offers, or else they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/I-verbally-accepted-a-job-over-two-weeks-ago-but-I-still-have-not-received-the-official-offer-via-email-Is-it-normal-to-take-this-long-and-whats-the-hold-up\">take days or weeks<\/a> to get a package out the door. Bottom line: An unwritten agreement is not an agreement. You\u2019ve invested considerable time in the hiring process\u2014close the deal.<\/p>\n<h3>Dead Air<\/h3>\n<p>Dragging your feet, especially at the end of the hiring process, is guaranteed to drive a talented prospect to a nimble competitor. When tech pros don\u2019t receive an offer within 24 hours following the final interview, they assume they were the second choice or that an internal candidate landed the position instead. Left in limbo, they instead leverage a promised offer to seek another job or get a raise. In fact, 44 percent of rejections are due to candidates accepting other offers, and 14 percent result from candidates accepting counteroffers, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrinetwork.com\/media\/1036\/2015_recruiter_sentiment_study_2nd_half.pdf\">data from Management Recruiters International.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Playing Mind Games<\/h3>\n<p>What happens when a hiring manager refuses to turn on his webcam during an interview? A great candidate walks away. Veteran tech pros have absolutely no desire to participate in mind games or stress interviews, and they really hate it when technical evaluators act superior or ask tricky or \u201cgotcha\u201d questions.<\/p>\n<h3>Getting Defensive<\/h3>\n<p>Becoming defensive towards a candidate who might be considering a counter offer, or issuing \u201ctake it or leave it\u201d ultimatums, can torpedo a deal that might have been salvageable. Tech pros view such attitudes as a bad omen and a sign of an autocratic work environment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/3080134\/agile-development\/how-agile-helps-attract-and-retain-millennial-tech-pros.html\">Millennial engineers and developers want autonomy<\/a>, inclusiveness and bottom-up management styles\u2014all of which starts with the hiring process.<\/p>\n<h3>Overlooking the Little Things<\/h3>\n<p>You expect candidates to submit error-free r\u00e9sum\u00e9s and meet deadlines, but shouldn\u2019t that go both ways? Small mistakes add up, McKenzie noted. That typo (or two) in the offer letter. That fifteen-minute wait in the lobby, followed by the half-hour wait in a windowless office. The spirit and competence of a company is almost always reflected in the hiring process itself. \u201cI once accepted an offer from a smaller, less-established firm primarily because that process was so efficient, personal, and professional,\u201d he said. \u201cMuch more so than [at] the larger companies I ultimately turned down.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You spend days combing through Websites and r\u00e9sum\u00e9s to find the perfect candidate.
