While the recruitment and selection of staffing can be a very important aspect to a company, some companies will focus there resources on other aspects such as marketing or product design instead. A company may decide that their customers are more focused on the product or appearance of the company rather than the staffing done within the company. For new businesses and products the decision makers may see that getting the word out through marketing is more important than finding the perfect staffing for the company. On the other hand companies that already have a lot of recognition may focus there resources on product design so they can get the next hot product out on the shelf and bring in new revenue.
When prioritizing different aspects of the business other than recruitment and selection there are different strengths and weaknesses associated with it. These strengths could include building up other aspects to be very strong, creating several products within a cycle, high production output, or high action from positive marketing. The company may be able to obtain many different positive attributes by focusing their resources outside of recruitment and selection. One the opposite hand, if the staffing is not done right it becomes easier for these positive attributes to become at risk. Customer service rating could drop due to a bad employee. Employee satisfaction could decrease resulting in a decrease in productivity. There could even be understaffing issues that slow down production lines. Overall it is important to realize that staffing plays a large role in an organization just like the other processes happening within the company.
