Save your company $15,000!

Let me ask you a few simple questions:

1) When you are feeling extremely sick you will probably go to the doctor, correct?
2) When your car breaks down on the side of the road, you will most probably call for help, correct?
3) When you don’t know the answer, you will probably ask for help, correct?

These questions all lead to my next question.
When you need extra staff are you likely to say, I can handle it or the company will take care of it for me?

So do you actually know how much it will cost you to fill a vacancy yourself?

Most of you will think it is free because you are using the existing resources of your company.
Just to put this in a little bit more perspective, even if you have your own in-house HR department, to fill a vacancy within your company will probably cost the following:

1) Initial Preparation
- Writing the job ad, posting it on the Internet or in the Newspaper

2) Screening Applicants
- Taking those initial telephone enquires about the position
- Calling candidates just to find out more about their skills and experiences
- Calling candidates to arrange interviews
- Interviewing candidates (1st time and 2nd time)
- Testing the candidates skills
- Getting reference checks completed
- Completing criminal record checks

… and the list goes on…

So if you add up all the hours it may take you to do all of the above, including interviews, second interviews, preparing letters of offer, and then look at what your hourly pay rate is, and then the lost productivity while you fill an empty position.
When it all comes down to it, it will cost you over $15,000 to do it yourself - and this is when everything goes to plan and you complete all of the above correctly!
