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

  • I'm interested in this as well - I've just been informed that our referral scheme 'introduce a friend' also includes a clause where the new employee gets an equivalent bonus. I can see this creating all sorts of issues - disatisfaction among employees who were not introduced by a friend, for a start, and I'm puzzled about exactly what this is supposed to be encouraging. We are talking a few hundred pounds. Perhaps we should extend the sign on bonus to all new staff in those roles?
