It maybe an industry/seniority thing, I work in IT and we've been looking to recruit for some relatively senior positions over the past couple of months.
Feedback during and post interview from a number of candidates has been around a lack of solution in this area compared to some of our biggest competitors and in a very competitive job market that has definitely cost us IMHO.
Whilst no-one expects the current situation to last forever, "make hay while the sun shines" seems to be the general consensus..
Working in IT and having a company car, which is admin'd by our fleet department and is fully inclusive has been probably one of the standout perks in the company.Feedback during and post interview from a number of candidates has been around a lack of solution in this area compared to some of our biggest competitors and in a very competitive job market that has definitely cost us IMHO.

When talking with headhunters at other firms, hardly anyone offers this anymore (big 4 in london, the main cloud providers etc) - and our company doesn't for new hires now in fact. Even with a bigger cash allowance for such a perk, the overhead of admin, insuring, maintenance etc, working out if I buy/lease/whatever is far less fun than knowing within a tax year on a salary sacrifice scheme (with an allowance) that I've got one fixed payment on the vehicle is a massive peace of mind.
£120k salary, £1500 month vehicle cost, actual cost to employee (including BIK) £618 or approx 40%.
