Everyone knows why you accept an external offer, that data is clear.
Why did you apply to a job posting or accepted a phone call from a recruiter.
Was it a unprofessional/unproductive mtg, personal reasons, or something else?
HR is capturing the wrong data, the why did you accept vs they why did you apply.
Remote jobs are abundant. Automatic raise not driving to work.
I watched someone ask for funding approval. A good ROI that was proven at another fab, go 1 GF. So they wanted to retrofit the fleet. Starting with a small amount and then once double verified, then all. So trusting the other fab, they asked for funding of all the fleet.
The plant GM yells at them asking why they are asking for funding for everything if they don’t know if it works. Aka, sc--w 1GF.
I know many people who were in the call instantly started to apply to jobs expressing their frustration. I know I did, interview is set up for next week.
Very inconsistent moody AF leadership = poor leadership.

OP is HR, and this is one of their talking points in the overall denial of excellent raises and bonuses in a competitive job market.
Most people are leaving because they have friends, meaning, they are finding out what their former colleagues are making, at their new employer, and then come to the conclusion of “why not, let’s see what happens.” Then they get that surprise offer, and leave.
The second issue is people are getting more responsibility, for the same pay, because they are having to load up on a former employee’s responsibilities, and GF won’t backfill the position, for “cost savings,” but continue to stress their employees through overwork and no recognition (in the form of monetary compensation or promotion). A pin is not recognition.
That is what is happening on “why people apply/accept outside phone calls.”
Lack of flexibility
