The latest of these often causes quite a headache for recruiting supervisors as well as the HR department. Summer breakers are usually needed for almost all areas and finding the right people can often be a challenging and time consuming task. The summer employee application process works like any recruitment process. First, a job posting is created and published in various media and forums. After this, job applications are usually expected for about 2-4 weeks, after which the most suitable candidates are invited for an interview and the best are selected for the jobs after the interviews. It seems pretty straightforward and simple, but the truth is often a little different. The recruitment process always commits a lot of resources from within the company, and its actual costs are often not known or even thought to be calculated. There are usually several hundred applications for a summer job announcement and it is unfortunately slow to go through manual work, not to mention interviews. Time for the process is usually not even arranged, but recruitment is often done alongside “real jobs,” which greatly increases the risk of failed recruitment. SE if what is expensive. A popular way in many companies is to hire employees' children and relatives for the summer. This, of course, saves time in the recruitment process, but there is little choice for employee candidates, thus returning to the probabilities of recruitment failure. Let’s move on for a moment to the logistics environment and the recruitment of a warehouse worker. Suppose a mediocre collector gets 300 lines collected during the day and a good collector gets 400 lines. During three months of summer work, the difference in efficiency between the two is 6,300 lines, or one month’s work input for the average employee. This, combined with the resource and notification costs of the recruitment process, already explains why more and more companies are turning to an outside recruitment professional for their summer job needs. The core competencies of HR companies are recruitment and the ability to process job applications and interview job seekers effectively. This often means a comprehensive pool of employees, which in turn allows for quick response and flexibility in the recruitment situation, as well as increasing the likelihood of successful recruitment. So would it be time this spring to forget about the gray hair caused by summer intermittents, focus our own resources on the company’s core business, and outsource the recruitment of summer workers to industry professionals? If cost-effectiveness, ease, and risk minimization seem like sensible ideas, it’s at least worth considering.
