Sign on Bonuses

Hi, 

In recruitment I am wondering how many of you would use a sign on bonus as a means to attract a potential candidate. I am trying to gauge if this is a used a lot in the UK as it is not something we would often use were I am based in the Isle of Man. 

Many thanks

  • This is fairly common in the graduate recruitment market, often caveated that it should be paid back if the programme or compulsory training is not completed.

    It is often billed as money to help the graduate relocate, pay off any short-term debt and adjust to post-university life. I actually got one myself back when I was a grad and it was spent on the purchase of a car that was needed for my new commute!
