The Growing Cost of Hiring

Are you still juggling the battle of hiring on your own versus seeking outsourced support? Whether the struggle is based on budgetary confinements, management expectations, or a desire to control the process; there is no better time than now to begin outsourcing your hiring process!

The cost of hiring internally continues to climb annually. Take a peek at the infographic below from The Huffington Post. It is amazing how quickly the cost skyrockets from a few hundred dollars for a job posting to an outside job board to upwards of $18,000! All of these costs can be invested with no guarantee that the employee works out!

The True Cost of Hiring

 

Most staffing and recruiting firms offer a guarantee on their placements and screenings. This protection in addition to the savings of time, resources, and expenditures can quickly justify the investment in outsourcing your hiring process. Established staffing firms only charge a fee if a placement is made, allowing you to view qualified talent before investing anything financially.
