Synopsis
In recent decades, organizations have often outsourced their hiring and recruiting to search firms and recruiting agencies. But current economic conditions, and the extreme costs of mis-hires have forced companies to take a look at their return on this investment. "Hire Power" presents an effective way for companies to bring the recruiting function inside, establish strong partnerships with internal management and solve this costly business problem. The first section identifies flaws in the system, as it exists today. The second section provides a methodology and defines a seamless partnership between the recruiter and the hiring manager. Section three lays out the design of an in-house search team that is positioned for a successful partnership. The benefits are clear: companies that take control of the hiring process with an effective methodology will quickly realize a drastic increase in the number of successful hires and a substantial reduction in hiring costs.
