More than a third (36 per cent) of people who started a new job in the past five years did not ask about their new firm’s pension scheme at any stage of the hiring process, a survey has found.
The study, from savings and investments firm M&G, found about a fifth waited until they received a job offer to ask, while 16 per cent waited until after they had accepted the role. A further 12 per cent only asked about the pension scheme at their final interview for the job.
