HeyDevs: A Bullseye for Employers Seeking Certainty in Hiring

Hiring new talent for your company is one of the most important investments any business can make. The best way to mitigate high overhead costs for your hiring needs is to retain happy, hard working and content employees. But life is ever-changing, and even the most successful companies are continually in flux and changing when it comes to their hiring needs.

In 2023, the average cost of hiring an employee rose to around $4,000 according to a Glassdoor study. This cost can go even higher when factoring in the role you’re hiring for, and the demand for skilled labor in your industry. Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay cosmetics once famously said, “A company is only as good as the people it keeps.” Successful companies hiring departments must therefore continually balance a very fine line, continually hiring for their needs, while taking the time to vet and interview candidates to ensure the right person is hired.

Don’t just post and hope

For many companies, the traditional hiring method has been to create a post on a job board or job platform and hope the right person applies to that job. For those who want to be more proactive, headhunters and recruiters are the usual tactics, but are incredibly costly. But what if there was a better way?

Recently many companies have turned to ‘active sourcing’ hiring to fill their talent needs. With active sourcing, a company’s HR will access a pool of vetted candidates and search for their specific needs. This empowers companies to not settle for a compatible candidate, but to find the perfect one. For candidates looking for work, this is a great method to get new job offers, especially for talent that has specific skills or experience that make them stand out to employers.

Typical costs of hiring

Some of the key factors affecting the cost of hiring include;

• Talent screening
• Training
• HR team
• External recruiters
• Corporate equipment
• Background checks
• Job posting

Employers that carefully approach hiring can save huge sums of money in a variety of ways. Can you find a WFH employee that can fill your needs without the need for an office or equipment? How about finding a way for your HR to spend less time on finding candidates, so they can focus on contracts and background checks?

Currently many hiring methods offer little innovation, as companies with billion dollar valuations are left to the ‘post and pray’ tactic of listing open jobs, and hoping the right person sees it. This is unacceptable given the advancements in technology and networking. Flexibility is key in minimizing costs, and no current method offers more flexibility and choice than active sourcing job hiring.
