These are why recruiting employees by yourself is not easy
- Expensive
- Retention: The cost of retaining an existing employee is usually lower than hiring a new one
- Productivity Loss: A position remaining vacant for a long time means work isn’t getting done, which could lead to potential business losses
- Internal Promotion: Promoting a current employee can be more cost-efficient because it could involve fewer steps than full-scale recruitment
2. Bad Applicants: Although it’s unfair to label applicants as “bad”, certain characteristics of a candidate may not be a good fit for a particular role or company, such as:
- Lack of skills or qualifications
- Poor cultural fit
- Indifference towards learning and growth
- Negative attitude
- Lack of professionalism
- Job hopping
3. Wasting Money: many businesses spend significant amounts of money during recruitment processes for:
- Posting cost on every job board
- Cost of recruiters = expensive
4. Wasting Time
- Incomplete job descriptions: attract unsuitable candidates
- CV / Resume Screening: countless hours manually reading resumes for a single job posting
- Interview Scheduling: coordinating schedules often involves numerous emails or phone calls
- Pre-Interview / Assessment: no capability – error-prone
Are you sure still want to do this by yourself?
