Quantum - Your HR and recruitment partner
Are poor recruitment and
selection procedures costing you?
Empirical
(evidence based) research has confirmed that employees recruited using a
typical ‘unstructured’ recruitment and selection process are on average, less
productive and are more likely to leave your organisation sooner.
And that’s a fact!
Introducing the Quantum
Recruitment and Selection Process
The Quantum
recruitment and selection process is based on evidence from numerous
psychological studies, which have identified important factors that better
predict the likely productivity and tenure of new
employees. The Quantum recruitment and selection process involves matching
candidates to your job role, and your organisation. Using a number of
different yet complimentary measures, we assess employee competency (skills,
knowledge and abilities), qualities, experience, qualifications and education,
specifics of your job role, as well as your organisation’s unique culture or
way of doing things.

Two Big Myths around DIY recruitment & selection that will cost you
1.
The first big
myth surrounding DIY Recruitment and Selection is
that it will
save us money. By doing it
ourselves, we won’t have to pay one of those agencies a fee; instead it goes
right back to helping our bottom line.
Right?
Wrong!!!
Many well intentioned
Managers are under the false assumption that there time doesn’t cost anything
to the company and therefore the recruitment process is free. Unfortunately
they fail to put a value on their own time. Every organisation expects a
return on their investment, and that includes you. If we consider the cost of
employing you is equivalent to 2.7 times your salary?,
and your employer expects a return on this cost, even a modestly paid employee
can end up being a very expensive recruitment consultant.
2.
The second big
myth around DIY Recruitment and Selection is
that we can do it just as well as the professionals; besides if it doesn’t
work out, we can hire somebody else. If only it were true. Truth is DIY
recruitment usually results in new employees being less productive and more
likely to leave your company. This is a major problem and cost when we
consider the cost of replacing the new employee is between 50% – 130% of their
annual salary?.
Another big expense!
So…
DIY recruitment and selection is like getting
your lawyer to tile
your bathroom!
He’ll probably do an average job at best, and charge
you a premium for it.
Is your recruitment and selection process
failing you?
If so you may recognise one or more
of these:
|
•
High turn-over of new employees
•
Low or poor performance/productivity
among new and existing employees
•
New employee not ‘fitting in’
with
others |
•
New employee lacks the
competencies
required to do the job
•
More time spent making excuses
rather
than getting things done |
”We are a
manufacturer and distributor or highly specialised medical devices to the
health care sector. Initially we engaged Quantum to assist us in recruiting a
salesperson to lift our flagging sales revenue. Our medical devices sales went
from a 25% to 60% share of market within a mere two years, after Quantum
recruited a Salesperson for our business.
Recently,
Quantum has been assisting us at a more strategic level in terms of
Organisation Goal Setting and Planning, Employee Development, Performance
Management, and Remuneration and Reward. We now retain Quantum as a strategic
partner to help get the most from our resources and people and
achieve a
genuine win-win.”
