From Professional Employment companies to HR consultants and placement companies, spending the money can help an executive avoid hours sifting through resumes trying to determine the best fits for a company.
Claudia Shah of EE Connections, LLC in Glendale, California says those who use her agency and agencies like hers will save time and money.
“When a company used to advertise for a position they could get 5 – 10 resumes. But with unemployment in Los Angeles County reaching 12% companies who advertise for positions will now get 500 resumes,” she said.
“With that volume, how do you know how to screen the good candidates?”
She described how a person who was vice president of operations in a company eliminated the HR department. The VP thought she could handle the HR load.
Ms. Shah says what looks like a cost-savings may end up costing the company more money and take a qualified person away from what she does best.
“Why should an executive of a company spend 8 hours a day for 1 to 3 days when an outsourced staffing firm or other human resource firm can step in and handle the job in a more cost-effective manner?”
Consider outsourcing HR or hiring functions as a strategic cost of doing business. Outsourcing HR or hiring could save money in the long-term.
