Saving time finding talent for your company

When the economy is soft or in slow recovery mode trimming the company budget is a necessity.  Caution should be used, however, in attempting to hire using only your human resources department.  Weakened profits may have already resulted in staff reductions.  Many, if not most, employees are already at full capacity performing not only their normal job duties but also that of one or two others who have been downsized.  If critical openings need to be filled your HR staff simply cannot add enough hours to the work day  to expend on wider searches.  Or perhaps the talent pool to be accessed is not in their field of expertise.  An HR generalist who, for example,  may be well-versed and deeply networked in degreed Mechanical Engineers may be more challenged to surface skilled field service mechanics.  This is where a seasoned professional with a well-maintained fresh talent pool can be an invaluable resource.  Visit my website www.dbconsulting1.com.
