One organization might choose to allocate more resources towards market or product design rather than using those same resources in employee recruitment and selection because they believe that they may already have a good employee recruitment system or believe that it is satisfactory enough for them to get by and still profit as a company as a whole. Another reason could be that although they may understand that their employee recruitment isn’t the best they think their company would be better off focusing on another standpoint that could help make their company more successful. I think one of the most obvious weaknesses in not prioritizing employee recruitment would be that you could be hiring employees that are not trustworthy and could end costing you thousands or even more by the time you correct any mistakes that a faulty employee has made. One strength of focusing attention on something outside of employee recruitment could be that a company has already spent a large amount of money focusing on employees and have decided to put more attention towards another aspect of the company. Once you have a solid base of employees to the extent that they also understand how to hire the correct type of employees then I believe it is only right to move funds out of employee recruitment and begin focusing on other aspects of the business.
