Job seeker preferences are shifting – with candidates now indicating that the right salary/benefits takes priority over other elements (like the flexibility of remote work) when considering a new role. That’s the headline from a recent survey conducted by Sense, an AI-driven solutions provider for enterprise recruiting, which polled respondents that had engaged in new job hunts in the past 6 months.

A couple of other key takeaways:

1. 76% of candidates are looking to move careers/industries. 

2. Of those looking to make a career change, salary/benefits (57%) and career advancement/upskilling opportunities (32%) were the highest priorities.
