Need to hire, but you don't have a dedicated TA team? Ooof, that can be overwhelming! When hiring is handled off the side of someone’s desk - often by managers or HR generalists - your small to mid-sized business could face serious challenges that can directly impact productivity and revenue. Here are a few business constraints to consider: 1. Lost Revenue from Unfilled Roles Every day a revenue-generating or customer-facing role stays open, you lose potential income. 2. Slower Time-to-Hire = Lost Talent Without a dedicated recruiter to keep things moving, top candidates accept offers elsewhere. This delays hiring and forces teams to settle for less qualified applicants, impacting long-term performance. 3. Burnout & Low Morale When vacancies drag on, existing employees are forced to pick up the slack. This leads to burnout, decreased engagement, and ultimately, higher turnover, which is costly and disruptive. 4. Inexperienced Hiring Practices Hiring managers may lack sourcing strategies or interview best practices. This increases the risk of bad hires, which can cost 30% or more of the employee’s annual salary, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. 5. Inefficiency & Wasted Time Without support, managers spend hours sifting through resumes, scheduling interviews, and handling admin tasks - precious, costly time they could be using to grow the business. 6. Inconsistent Candidate Experience Delays in communication or clunky processes reflect poorly on your employer brand. This is especially important when competing with larger companies with polished TA teams. 7. Limited Reach Hiring managers often heavily rely on job postings. Without sourcing tools or networks, you miss out on passive candidates (over 70% of the talent market). ________________________________________ The BOTTOMLINE?
