"What makes an employee stay?" Our Vancouver legal candidates weigh-in!

At Arlyn Recruiting, we strive to take the time to get to know each and every one of our candidates. We have always been confident in our understanding of both their goals and needs. When it comes to detailing exactly what they are looking for in terms of staying in their jobs however, we went straight to the source! For three months, we asked every job seeker who came through our office to share their thoughts on what would motivate them to stay in their current positions...

Here’s what they had to say!
