As discussed in the lecture, some companies find that finding the perfect candidate for the job is the most important. In this post I’m going to discuss why companies find other things (marketing, advertising, etc.) more valuable. Depending on what the company’s strengths are, what they need to invest in will vary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something else that’s vital to organizations, especially in sales, is marketing and advertising. Companies that want to sell their product to mass amounts of people need solid advertising to spread the word. By focusing on marketing and advertising, you have the opportunity to make connections with more customers or investors, bringing in more business\/financial capital. If your company wants to focus more on making the best<\/em> shoes in creation, they’re going to want to invest a lot into product design and less on finding the perfect employee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By focusing on things other than finding the perfect employee, you have the opportunity to expand on other areas previously mentioned, which could potentially be a benefit to your company if that’s what it needs. Unfortunately, by choosing someone that’s the wrong fit for the job, you could lose money. If they’re overall bad at their job and selling as much as they should be, you’re losing money. If they’re bad enough that they need to get replaced, it costs extra to fire someone and hire a new person, so you’re losing even more money. I believe that it’s important to find an employee that’s a great fit mostly when dealing with customers\/clients. Connections with others is a valuable asset and without it, bringing customers in won’t work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As discussed in the lecture, some companies find that finding the perfect candidate for the job is the most important.
