When Recruiting is Treated as an After-thought

Bad Things Happen When Professional Recruiting is Treated as an After-thought.

Work is stacking up and you need to hire someone. You place an ad in Craigslist, then the front desk begins fielding calls from people who aren’t qualified. You discover only a fraction of the interested candidates return your calls, then people who appear to be vastly different from your “ideal” candidate show up at your office asking to speak with the Manager.

Office productivity begins to diminish as you address these unplanned interruptions. The position needs to be filled, so you choose the best person you can find.  Then, you discover from customer complaints the new employee is under-skilled and you don’t have time for further training.

Six weeks have passed and the position becomes vacant again, placing a burden on your existing employees, and customer confidence further falls. Sound familiar?

While you start the process of retaining talent again, and you say to yourself:

• “Is there anyone out there that knows what they’re doing and wants to work”?
• “Do I have to do this again?”
• “I don’t have time for this.”
