Smaller businesses face a David-and-Goliath challenge when competing for top talent against larger enterprises. Despite financial differences, smaller businesses can leverage agility in decision-making during hiring. LinkedIn surveys reveal that, while compensation, work-life balance, and flexible arrangements matter universally, the nuances of employee preferences distinguish smaller businesses.

Collaborative culture, aligned values, and happy teams are +15.4%, +14.9%, and +14.6% more important, respectively, for SMB employees. Emphasizing a welcoming atmosphere and shared values becomes crucial.
