  Running Time: 8:54 Date: 01/02/2012 The cost saving from doing your own recruiting may be illusory - it's time-consuming, and expensive if you get it wrong. If you're in the happy position of being able to recruit new staff, or replace someone who's leaving, think carefully before doing it yourself - it can eat up management time and a wrong decision will be costly. As Erin Goffett, of recruitment specialists The Munro Group, explains it takes skill and experience to get the most out of job interviews without falling foul of anti-discrimination laws. And many business owners and managers will hire mirror images of themselves, when other qualities may be most needed. Good professional help may prove a better bargain than a rough-and-ready DIY approach. Topics: Human Resources |
