The Inadequacies of Traditional Recruitment Methods:
1. In-House HR Departments: While in-house HR departments are deeply familiar with the organization's culture and needs, they may lack the specialist knowledge necessary to accurately assess OHS qualifications and expertise. This deficiency could potentially lead to longer recruitment cycles or suboptimal hires.
2. General Recruitment Firms: These firms, attempting to service all industries, often fall short in recruiting niche candidates. The broad focus dilutes their expertise and prevents them from comprehensively understanding the unique needs of OHS roles, thus resulting in inefficient recruitment processes., often resulting in higher costs.
3. OHS-Only Firms: While firms comprising solely of OHS professionals excel in technical knowledge, they may lack the recruitment expertise and organizational insights necessary for effective hiring. The absence of HR recruitment skills can result in less-than-optimal talent acquisition strategies.
4. Automated/Digital Recruitment Platforms: Relying on algorithms, these platforms often fail to consider the human factor in hiring. While they might expedite candidate sourcing, they fall short in assessing candidate suitability beyond the realm of keywords and qualifications, and they lack the depth to assess cultural fit and other soft aspects, leading to potential mis-hires, which are costly to rectify.
