Week 1 – Blog Post: The Case for Recruitment & Selection

For why an organization might decide to allocate more resources to marketing or product design instead of using those same resources to actually do a better job of recruiting and selecting employees, the potential cost of bad staffing according to the video stated can lead to lost recruitment dollars, as well as lost business, wasted time trying to correct bad employee mistakes, and in my opinion, most of all it affects other employees, having a The impact of having a “bad employee” who is not dedicated to his or her job is huge, and the so-called bad habits are contagious to other employees, resulting in a poor environment for the entire company. So a good employee can actively drive the development of the company, for research employees can get more resources to research and design products, compared to recruiting more employees does not drive the development of the company. And in a very competitive talent market, it is more expensive and difficult to recruit and select. This may lead companies to choose to devote more resources to other areas to avoid these costs and risks. The primary reason for recruiting new employees is that it takes a lot of time and effort to manage, and there is a lot of uncertainty and risk, as employees may not perform as expected. In contrast, marketing and product design are easier to manage because they typically have clearer goals and more predictable results.
If an organization decides not to prioritize recruitment and selection and instead focuses on other aspects of the business, it may face the following potential advantages are in that companies that focus more on marketing and product design may have higher brand awareness in the marketplace to the point of being able to increase the benefits derived from their own company brand and thus increase company turnover. Secondly, the company may focus more on research and development of new technologies or solutions in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Being able to create more excellent products inside the field of the same industry, as well as outstanding design concepts, once they can gain public recognition, is of great help to the company’s effectiveness. Secondly, it is a great improvement for the company’s staff, the company can pay more attention to staff training and development, so t improve the skills and knowledge of the staff. At the same time can well retain the existing excellent staff, my advice is to retain the existing staff on this basis, and then to recruit some other high-quality staff who can play a positive role in the company’s future development above. The disadvantage is that the company may fall behind its competitors in recruitment and selection, leading to turnover and inefficient work. The company may experience problems with not having the right people to execute the business plan, which may result in delays and failure to meet business goals.
