But how exactly do you do that, especially if you are a newer business who doesn’t have a huge level of brand recognition?

Interestingly, one of the first questions [raised by most of our candidates is whether](https://www.financedigest.com/graphic-chip-price-drop-raises-questions-on-whether-end-of-shortage-is-in-sight.html "Graphic chip price drop raises questions on whether end of shortage is in sight") they can work from home, with many of them not interested in the role if that option doesn’t exist. 75% of HR professionals we surveyed prioritise [flexibility to work](https://www.financedigest.com/the-flexible-working-revolution-is-here-so-why-arent-you-tracking-expenses-on-the-go.html "‘The flexible working revolution is here – so why aren’t you tracking expenses on the go?’") from home when looking for a new role.
