&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;At a time when HR departments are inundated with applications from a plethora of eager and over-qualified job-seekers, companies don&#39;t want to miss out on the opportunity to pluck from this talented pool. An &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;article in the &lt;em&gt;Economist &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;says that many companies are finding that &quot;One solution, popular in many industries, is to offer deferred start dates to new hires, giving them six months or a year to travel or do public service. This approach has been embraced by consulting firms, law firms and banks.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The article goes on to say that some companies, &quot;like Credit Suisse, offer around six months&amp;#8217; salary to new employees who agree to start a year later.&quot;&amp;nbsp;However,&amp;nbsp;&quot;others, including several consulting firms, offer the option without any pay incentive....[and] new hires may be reluctant to accept such an offer...in case the economy sinks further and new lay-offs are announced while they are on the beach.&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;If you&#39;ve found been offered a job now that won&#39;t start for several months to a year, we&#39;d love to hear from you! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Sophie Friedman, Vault Web Content Intern&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
