The Story
86% of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are wasting an additional ten hours a week on recruitment.
Research has found that half of respondents spend at least five hours outside regular office hours on the hiring process.
39% of respondents believe they do not have the right skills or amount of time to dedicate to hiring, and 55% believe that this can lead to making the wrong hire.
The frustrations listed by respondents included limited visibility of the process (21%) and 41% cited difficulties in finding a quality candidate amongst a high volume of ‘average’ applications.
This leads to 23% starting the hiring process again when things don’t work out. The average time to hire is 60 + days.
In addition, a quarter (25%) said that the HR department doesn’t always have an in-depth knowledge of the roles it's hiring.
The Moral
If you’re looking to grow your business and build your team, then speak with Swindale Parks. Recruitment is what we do....in fact it's what we have been doing since 1991! After all, when you need a new pair of shoes, do you make your own or go to a specialist retailer?
