Most employers agree that one of the most difficult aspects of hiring is when an executive accepts a counteroffer from their current employer, or changes his or her mind after accepting a position.

Employers should be aware of the signals that may indicate a possible problem. For instance, employers should recognize that any unusual construction executive job seeker delays through rescheduling, prolonged indecision, discussions with peers, staff or management from their current firm, or when the construction executive job seeker is unwilling to tell the new employer what he or she intends to precisely tell the existing boss at resignation.
