Any activity you or your team spends time on has ROI associated with it—how will what I’m doing make or save money for the company? That includes hiring team members. Hiring the right people is one of the most important uses of time, because the outcome can have such a significant impact, good or bad, on the team’s morale and output.
When you consider it holistically, the hiring process is often time intensive, from writing the job description to posting the position and monitoring job applicants to interviewing and making a selection. It’s also a very subjective process because, beyond the resume, you’re dealing with emotions, opinions, and personalities.
