But the bottom line that everyone agrees on is that it can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it isn’t just a monetary impact – it can be detrimental to the company’s morale and productivity. And hiring doesn’t come cheap – according to a study from Monster, small business owners spend $1,872 to hire someone new.

Hiring is one of the most critical tasks and challenges an organization faces. Yet, unfortunately, too many approach it as transactional or don’t allocate the proper attention, priority and resources towards it.

The differences between agency and in-house recruitment are well documented. Age old fables like in-house recruiters hating sales, not “cutting it” in agency land, or being more admin focused have rubbed shoulders in recent years with more progressive ideas of recruiters preferring a broader strategic approach versus those with a more one-company mindset necessary to develop employer branding, workforce planning and key stakeholder engagement initiatives.

Hiring candidates is no easy task. Recruiters must ardently search for and recruit potential candidates, vet them, as well prepare rigorously for the interviews, and then find the best match amongst the candidates they’ve acquired and the job positions they are hiring for.
