“Employees are a company’s greatest asset – they are your competitive advantage you want to attract and keep the best. Provide them with encouragement, stimulus, and make them feel that they are an integral part of the company’s mission.” – Anne M. Mulcahy
To sum up the secret behind a successful business is a dedicated team of employees working towards it. Building this great team requires efforts along with right resources to search and get them hired. Hiring the best possible employees can mean a lot more than just the candidate’s salary. Costing 1.5-to-3 times more than that person’s salary and your valuable time. Maintaining them is another story.
Plenty of your day is already spent in analyzing the load of resumes if you do not have a dedicated HR department. A lot of these applications might not even be a good match for the role.
Consider the time spent on advertising, interviewing, verifications and all those between tasks.
It will take a while to cover these costs and to see the returns on these investments.
