Is Recruitment a Strategic Function?
In short, absolutely, yes.
"Recruitment is a strategic function essential to all businesses, small and large."
How often have we heard that recruitment isn’t the strategic function within HR? It tends to get looked past like it's the marmalade of jams (strawberry, raspberry, and mixed berry jams are generally reached for the most, but citrus preserve packs a real punch).
It's not uncommon to think that as long as you fill an open role quickly you're on the right track. But in reality, understanding that Recruitment is a crucial strategic function for all businesses, no matter the size will set your company up for success. Where are you going with your business? What are your goals for the next 1-2 years? How are you going to get there? What skills and fit do you need to recruit for, to ensure you get there…the importance of the right hire.
We've said it before and we'll say it again; working with a recruiter ensures you're hiring the right people at the right time, in the right place.
Effective hiring means hand-picking top talent who align with company values and goals, enhancing an organization's productivity, profitability, and competitive edge. Our team is dedicated to building strong relationships with clients and candidates alike and is passionate to find the perfect fit for roles at all levels so your business can truly flourish.
On the flip side, regretfully not investing in your recruitment process could lead to a lack of productivity among mediocre employees ("superior talent is up to 8 times more productive", McKinsey), wasted time and energy looking in the wrong places for talent, and ultimately additional (pricey) costs of a bad hire. Let us know if you need the stats – we are happy to grab a java with you and share.
In the meantime, we have included information on the entire life cycle of an employee in an organization to provide a high-level view of how important the right hires really are.
