Act in leisure, repent in haste!
Finding and keeping good people in the work place is a fundamental requirement of any manager, and in Britain our managers are letting their colleagues and shareholders down.
In most cases it is not their fault as they just have not been trained in these essential skills. The consultants in DER tell me how daily they are amazed by apathetic managers and HR people in their total lack of urgency through the recruitment process. Surely everybody knows that good people are not on the market or unemployed for long, yet our recruitment consultants find that managers get excited about the CV but then take days before arranging an interview and then there is often a long decision making ordeal, and the sadness is that they are then surprised when the candidate is snapped up elsewhere.
Almost every aspect of business today is built around speed and immediacy but in our experience not so in the recruitment process.
