They don&#8217;t think about the cyclical side of employees. For example, if it&#8217;s hard to find a job in a specific area because the market is flooded, no one goes into that market for 5 years, after 5 years companies are looking to hire people in that area and have a hard time finding good candidates because they often will make an online application and don&#8217;t go further than that, they don&#8217;t want to spend the extra money to hire a recruiter to find a potential fit for the company. This leaves them with a pool of applicants that are sub-par, hoping that there is a diamond in the rough. Where if they poor their money into marketing and product design they are retaining and bringing in new customers, rather than employees. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of an organization&#8217;s decision to not prioritize recruitment and selection in favor of a focus on other aspects of the business? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Strength: When a company looks at all areas and decides which area is the &#8220;weakest&#8221; they often allocate money to that area. So, if the employee part of the company is doing better than the product design, they will allocate more money towards that. <\/li><li>Weakness: The employment area might not be doing well but it looks like product design is doing worse so they only focus on fixing that one area instead of looking at why the other area(s) have started declining. <\/li><li>This is the reason companies need to analyze all aspects of the business for weakness to allocate resources in the right area(s). It  can be easy to focus on one area that you think could be affecting other areas instead of looking into each area individually and the business as a whole. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why might organizations decide to allocate more resources toward marketing or product design rather than using those same resources to do a really good job in employee recruitment and selection?
