The HR Recruiters are pretty lazy people, when it comes to proper selection of the recruitment sources. When they find the Internet based recruitment works fine, they try to put all the vacancies on the Internet and not to utilize other recruitment sources.
The HR Recruitment Team Manager has to focus on the statistics of the recruitment sources and the recruitment cycle times. The statistics can show significant improvements for some time, when one recruitment source is fully utilized, but the organization can be in a real danger, when the recruitment sources stops working.
The recruitment process is not stable and the organization has to use several recruitment sources at one time to have the full potential of finding the right job candidate. The HR Recruitment Manager has to focus on costs, time cycle and fair recruitment sources utilization. The HR Recruitment Manager is responsible for the stability of the recruitment process and that the operational risks are fully covered.
The recruitment sources are working immediately. They usually need some time to work at the full potential. The HR Recruiters do not see this, but their manager has to be aware of this. When the recruitment agency is not used for some time, the agency looses quickly the knowledge of the client and the knowledge has to be acquired again.
The organization using just one recruitment source is in a big danger as the recruitment source can stop working and finding the candidates and the organization has spend a lot of time on finding and developing new recruitment channels.
