Unfortunately, she says, ?some corporate cultures do not emphasize these types of training experiences for their managers.? The result is constant turnover and reduced productivity.
Jenkins urges H/R decision-makers to ?change their thinking of hiring to hunting? and to focus on ?consistent measurable results.? She suggests that strategies be put into place to ?obtain and retain the best candidates, not just qualified applicants.?
Who?s Minding the Store?
Human resource professionals have their priorities skewed,? comments Jenkins. ?They appear to be consumed with cost-per-hire, total recruiting fees paid and how ?fast? someone is hired.? However the quality of the new hires, and the long-term value or cost to the company of hiring a mediocre applicant is completely overlooked.?
It?s literally a vicious cycle. ?The people who hold jobs in H/R and corporate recruiting came up in the same flawed system they work for.? Mis-focused and under-trained, ?they ensure that ineffective recruiting processes prevail.?
