Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emphasizing the freedom to structure job responsibilities is likely to be the most appealing aspect to a highly qualified applicant who has had offers from larger firms. Small businesses are often able to offer more flexibility in job responsibilities, which can be appealing to those who want to have a greater impact on the work they do. The other options may not be as relevant or appealing to the applicant, especially since retirement programs and other benefits are often similar across companies.
