リクルートで節約する価値はあるのか？

近所に5年かけて家を建てた人がいます。みんなは彼に、すぐにでも請負業者を雇って家を建てた方がいいのでは？しかし、彼はお金を節約したいので、自分で建てるつもりだと言いました。今、彼は、まだ完成していないこの家を売ろうとしている。何年もかけて大金を投資してきたのだ。彼の売値は、投資の半分しかない。しかし、それでも買い手はいない。工事費、ガソリン代、材料費、時間のロスを計算すると、この隣人が適切な工事に必要なお金を借り、建築業者を雇い、建設された邸宅に5年間住み、すべてのローンをずっと前に返済する機会を得たことがわかる。この話を聞いて、疑問が湧いた。もし、節約して何でも自分でやろうとするなら、その結果、支出全体がもっと大きくなることを証明する価値があるだろうか？

No matter how much a company wishes to hire employees without spending it still has to pay in the end. To begin with, you will have to pay for sites about work, spend time on interviews, and hire a recruiter (HR manager) or a recruitment agency. The plan of recruitment, training, and adaptation of employees is the cornerstone of any company and unreasonable economy on it can pose serious problems for such frugal companies in the future. It's bad when the company does not have a “time to hire” standard. It is even worse if there are two stages of hiring: when an employee is needed "yesterday", and when "an employee is no longer needed".

While the top managers might know perfectly well what losses the company will suffer in the absence of sales managers, experienced warehouse manager or a service manager, they can be completely unaware of the losses due to the lack of a secretary, a purchasing manager, or an accountant. "Well, why should I hire another accountant? I will just distribute the work among other employees!"

多くの人は、時間が経てば従業員の不足が明らかになることを見落としています。他の社員はすべての仕事をこなすのに十分な時間がとれず、新たな責任によって勤務時間が不規則になったり、ミスを犯したり、さらには退職してしまうこともあるのです。そして、組織は一人の会計士の給料よりもはるかに多くの損失を被ることになるのです。

Trying to save on essentials almost always has an adverse affect on a company: for example, if the company is trying to find personnel using a website with vacancies without having a recruiter in the state or resorts to employing a recruitment agency then such an organization risks to miss all deadlines for hiring which in turn can affect business processes. Reasonable economy implies the choice: in general, companies (who want to save money) have an HR manager on staff and additionally they employ a recruitment agency. The benefits of such savings are obvious: a reduction time to hire, as well as the ability to keep track of the process of hiring. The HR managers, as a rule, have some "workload", other tasks, in addition to the hiring process, which does not prevent them from meeting deadlines and conduct interviews.

In conclusion, it should be noted that recruitment is a key element of any organization, and if the organization is large enough then it becomes a separate business process. Saving on essentials can "go sideways" and lead to serious losses for the company in the future. Savings can only be reasonable.
