Why you should be investing more time and money in recruiting

There’s no doubt that talented employees are the backbone of any company. But a lot of businesses don’t seem to make having experienced recruiters a top priority. Evil HR Lady Suzanne Lucas breaks down why companies are making a mistake by not having their top talent find new top talent. Lucas notes that many recruiter job postings seek entry-level candidates. These beginner positions also come with a lower salary (typically $12-$16 an hour).The problem with hiring inexperienced recruiters is that they can’t possibly understand the ins and outs of the company, Lucas says. If your recruiter doesn’t have a firm grasp on the job functions or the business, how can they effectively find candidates? It’s also widely known that recruiters can sometimes be ineffective. Many job-seekers are advised to go straight to the hiring manager about a position, making the recruiter obsolete. Lucas asks: Why do we have a staff member that’s so inadequate candidates need to go around them?
