Smart business leaders refrain from “knee-jerk” recruitment - Dudley Child Executive Recruitment

In this current commercial climate where volume redundancy programmes cause a surfeit of skilled workers in the employment market, it is far too easy to be lulled into thinking that you’ll be able to pick someone up when you need them. In actual fact, the reverse is true, when caution is needed in budget allocation, this “hit & miss” approach is contrary to sensible fulfilment of the need to bring people into your organisation.

Have the foresight to step away from thinking about headcount requirement when it presents itself through necessity via attrition, underperformance or contract wins, rather take an anticipatory approach and make the time to put in place a forward thinking strategy for talent acquisition, formulated around the needs of the business growth objectives.

The benefits are tangible, not least of which is a greater control of hiring costs which can easily escalate when departmental spends are totalled and hasty decisions due to operational pressures are largely eliminated.
