Job Success - How to Get it?

Job success requires planning and focus - create a career map to keep yourself on track


Cover Letters For Resume

One of the many annoyances that people get in this economic trough these days could well go to the one rejection after another of the cover letters. This recession has definitely left millions unemployed. Even the most talented and qualified people find it a much frustrating experience to send all those pointless cover letters which don"t even seem cause a ripple back . Do you have the same feelings when each time you want to send a cover letter in exactly the same way as before? Maybe all you need is a change.


The Cost of Recruitment

 

The costs associated with manual recruitment can become quite excessive, partly because of the candidates that are produced. One bad candidate can cost a company more than ten times that individualð€™s salary, and hereð€™s why:

 

Recruitment Cost #1: Work Load

 

When a person leaves, someone has to do their job. If an employer has not yet hired another employee, they are forced to pay their current employees overtime. This as we know, costs twice as much! The manager must also stop what they are doing so that they may determine a game plan and find individuals willing to work overtime.

 

Recruitment Cost #2: Exit Interview

 

When a person leaves, someone has to stop their current job in order to conduct an exit interview. They also have to arrange for the payroll to be stopped, benefit deductions, benefit enrollments, and other administrative responsibilities. It is very time consuming!

 

Recruitment Cost #3: Advertisements

 

Lots of wasted money is invested into newspaper ads, online ads, job board site fees, and other avenues that may be pursued. Often times employers receive recruitment company offers, spam replies, temp agency replies, everything they donð€™t want and nothing they do.

 

Recruitment Cost #4: Interviewing

 

It takes time for an internal recruiter to review candidateð€™s resumes, schedule phone interviews, perform background checks and conduct a face-to-face interview. Aside from time, internal recruiters arenð€™t free and they arenð€™t cheap!

 

Recruitment Cost #5: Lost Productivity

 

Aside from not having anyone to fill a position, other individuals are forced to spend less time on their job and more time on additional tasks. Whether it is the manager, accountant, administrative staff or general employees, everyone is producing less!

 

Recruitment Cost #5: Training

 

Not only do you have to train a new employee but you have to pay them during training. Further, the individual doing the training has to stop what they are getting paid to do so that they can show the new person ð€Çthe ropes.ð€Ý

 

Recruitment Cost #6: New Hire

 

The new hire has to be added to payroll, registered for benefits, and added to the schedule. The company has to pay employment taxes and invest money into training. This can be very expensive!

 

Recruitment Cost #7: Effort

 

Because the new hire hasnð€™t been fully trained, the work that they produce wonð€™t quite be up to par. For at least the first month, their focus is on improvements.
