Recruiting High Performers

What does it cost you to recruit new employees?

  • Cost of online ad $150
  • Cost of print ad $1,500
  • Recruitment agency – average 15% of salary
  • Your time (25 hours x $150 per hour) $3,750
  • Time spent training (40 hours x $150 per hour) $6,000
  • Lost productivity in the role (approx. $2,500 per month) $7,500
  • Set up of phones, computers, workspace etc. $1,000
  • Negative impact on motivation and workflow invaluable

Cost of recruiting – $19,900 PLUS recruitment fees, PLUS the impact on the motivation of your team and customers, your reputation and time, and loss of IP and knowledge

The bottom line is the more effective you are in your recruitment process, interviewing skills and staff retention the less money and time you will spend on recruiting new people

KONA’s Recruiting High Performers will help your Managers and HR department establish your 8 step recruitment process including how to:

  1. Develop Job Roles and Responsibilities
  2. Write relevant job ads;
  3. Filter and qualify applicants;
  4. Telephone interviews
  5. Conducting face-to-face interviews including Core Competency Questions and Behavioural Event Interviewing
  6. Reference checking
  7. Induction
  8. Ongoing Training and Coaching

The advantages of the KONA Recruiting High Performers program are:

  • No internal ‘agenda’ that will affect your assessment/decision
  • Independent view that puts the needs of your business first
  • Cuts through the personality (Can I work with this person – their personal views don’t blind to true capabilities and what the candidate will bring to the business)
  • Ask the HARD questions that you or your people might be uncomfortable asking
  • Not influenced or concerned about taking on someone of a higher level
  • Don’t have the agenda that possibly your recruitment company may have (I.e. we are looking for the best person for your business, (not how can I place a candidate to get a 15% recruitment fee!!)
  • Objectively select the best candidate for the job, not focused on a recruitment fee
  • Not basing decisions on ‘Desperately NEED someone’.
