[quote=Anonymous]Compensation is more than pay. We verified comp packages and it made a big difference. For one candidate, the candidate was fine with our offer for two weeks vacation (one of our choosing and one of her choosing). When I was verifying comp packages, the previous employer shared that they had regularly gone on vacation for 4-5 weeks each summer and the nanny would return to her home country. They had been paying a much lower rate. I went back to the candidate (who had previously been fine with only 2 weeks vacation) and clarified that we really meant 2 weeks and due to the nature of our jobs would not be going away for 4-5 weeks. She was very disappointed and asked if we could just get temporary care. While I would be OK with temporary care in the case of an emergency I was not offering a job with 4-5 contiguous weeks off each summer. This was not a good fit. [/quote]
