Analyzing the Problems In Search for and Recruitment of the Organization’s Staff

Abstract

The article is concerned with a study of the process of search for and recruit the organization’s staff, taking into account two key directions: analysis of channels of search and recruitment of staff; evaluation of the efficiency of the technologies used in searching for and recruiting staff. The mentioned analysis was carried out on the example of a company that specializes in wholesale trade (distribution) of food and non-food product groups. The study identified a number of problems: high fluctuation of personnel; lack of well-established search process standards; significant percentage of temporary deviations in the search and recruitment process; high relevance of the estimates of search channels by the department professionals in the context of presence of shortcomings; the resulting estimates of search channels by professionals differ from actual estimates; sub-optimal choice of staff search technologies; negative and non-progressive dynamics in some indicators of the efficiency of the search process; lack of close human resources department cooperation with educational institutions in the search for young prospective professionals; problems in optimizing search channels in the selection process. The identified problems were diagnosed with the help of the authors’ own instrumentarium of sociological survey of professionals in the search for and recruitment of the staff of the researched enterprise, as well as analysis of performance indicators. The pros and cons of various technologies for finding and recruiting candidates are identified and ranked; the frequency of use of these technologies in the researched enterprise is determined; the time expenditures at different stages of implementation of core technologies are analyzed; a comparative characterization of the time spent on implementing both internal and external ways of finding and recruiting staff is made; the most effective channels for finding candidates are defined. A list of indicators for assessing the search and recruitment process is been formulated and the indicators that have negative dynamics are identified.
