So, when\nit comes to most industries, the product is the most important thing to a\ncustomer or the price focus. In an industry where customer service is the\nprimary focus point, then more money is allocated. A good example of where organizations\nmight allocate more money towards marketing and product vs employee recruitment\nis the fast food industry. In many people\u2019s eyes they rather see decent quality\nfood with super cheap prices (dollar menu, or 2 for 6 specialty products) then go\nto a sit-down restaurant where the prices are higher, and the quality is\nexceptionally better. Customers rather take the lower quality item and worse\ncustomer service then paying significantly more. Most of the companies that do allocate\nresources more towards marketing and product design typically do not make\nfortune 500 company list. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of an\norganization&#8217;s decision to not prioritize recruitment and selection in favor of\na focus on other aspects of the business?<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Pros\/\nstrengths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;\nreduced time spent looking for high quality candidates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp; shortened hiring process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;\nlower salary costs\/ minimum wage rates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;\ncosts can go towards higher prioritized items<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cons\/\nweaknesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Higher\nemployee turnover <\/li><li>Possible\nlow customer satisfaction as result of training <\/li><li>More gaps\nin organizationally efficiency <\/li><li>Weak team\ncohesiveness <\/li><li>Bad company\ndynamic\/ possible toxic personalities within the company <\/li><li>Failure\nto have mentorship between employees<\/li><li>Lack of\nfuture leaders, may possibly result in a downfall of the company<\/li><\/ul>\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?
