In Dr. Zivit Inbar’s previous blog, she described the recruitment process as being based on four major principles: culture based recruitment, workforce planning, transactional activities and candidate selection. Zivit also mentioned that many start-ups fail because they duplicate the recruitment principles of big corporations and focus their time and efforts on the transactional part of the recruitment process, which should actually only take about 5% of the recruitment time for start-ups. The main focus (around 80% of the process) should be on the selection process.

When I meet with fast growing start-ups, they often say: 'we need help in writing position descriptions, working with recruiters, sorting resumes.' This is exactly why recruitment fails. With this approach, it is most likely that these start-ups will end up recruiting the wrong people. They may get the headcount number right, but consequences for the culture and teamwork will eventually impact company performance.

Recruitment is an increasingly big data process. However, we're constantly surprised when we hear reports, such as those that Software Advice shared with us in our recent Payroll tech trends Blog, about the continued reliance on Excel amongst HR Professionals. According to their study many HR Professionals are still recruiting for candidates with advanced Excel skills. This implies that many organisations are still running their HR procedures and processes off spreadsheets. Not only is this inefficient, but it really isn't cost effective at all. Many organisations still believe that the price of HR software is prohibitive, however, given the changes that Cloud technology has enabled in the HR software space, when you look at the numbers, it's actually more costly to your organisation to not be using a Cloud based, SaaS solution to enhance the performance of your HR team.
