. . . Why Doing It the Right Way Saves Big Money
There are many reasons to carefully track job candidates, but one of the easiest to overlook is that careful candidate tracking saves money. (That’s right . . . it saves money.) If you doubt it, consider these two recent hiring experiences.
The Vanishing Candidate
A company hired a salesperson who turned out to be a non-performer. So a year later, it was time to replace him and hire again. Bob, the head of HR, remembered that one applicant really stood out the last time around, so he went from office to office, asking everyone “Who was that great woman we interviewed last time around . . . the one who didn’t accept our offer?” Nobody remembered exactly, so it was time to start a new job hunt with a clean slate.
Optimizing the Choice of Candidates
The head of HR at one company asked, “Which colleges do our best new hires come from . . . shouldn’t we recruit from those schools?” Because the data about applicants was accessible, she was able to identify the best colleges to recruit from. The result? More efficient hiring attracted more of the right candidates, increased efficiency, boosted profits and saved a lot of money.
