Importance of Staffing & Recruitment
- A successful recruitment program in an organization hires employees that are the most likely to remain in the company. Hiring the wrong employee for a position can result in the worker becoming dissatisfied with the job. The recruitment process is the first opportunity a company has to ensure potential new hires have the skills and talent to work in the position. In addition to measuring the worker's talent and skill, the recruitment and staffing procedure is an opportunity to assess whether the personality of the worker is a good fit for the culture of the organization. High employee turnover has significant costs for the organization in additional recruitment, hiring and training expenses to fill vacant positions.
- Hiring the right workers for positions in a company improves the organization's productivity. A successful recruitment and staffing program hires candidates with the skills, drive and desire to move the company forward. Lower employee turnover has an effect on worker productivity as well.
- The recruitment and staffing process in an organization must seek candidates for positions that share the company's values and culture. While skills and talent are an important factor in the hiring process, the recruitment program should ensure the new recruits are a good fit for the company's culture. When workers and management share values and philosophy, the individuals work as a team to progress the goals of the company.
- The staffing and recruitment process that seeks candidates with the skills, talent and drive to succeed ultimately benefits the employees as well. An employee in a position that matches his skills and talents can strive to succeed in the organization.
