Recruitment Tips - What You Should Know

Today, we're unlocking the secrets of the hidden job market in Nigeria and sharing some valuable recruitment tips

You see, the job market for small businesses in Nigeria is like a well-kept secret - the unpublished treasure trove of opportunities. We call it the hidden job market, where job openings are filled without being advertised. It's a world where some small business owners have been known to resort to "Recruitment at the Factory Gate." Now, picture this: a board placed in front of the factory, inviting unskilled workers to fill casual vacancies. Many small businesses including schools, hospitals, and supermarkets e.t.c. are still using this strategy for hiring teachers, nurses, managers, and sales assistants. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, and trust us, that's a recipe for bad recruitment and a good laugh!

The cost of bad recruitment is no laughing matter, though. Aside from the direct cost of recruitment, it includes lost revenue from ineffective salespeople, time wasted on training unproductive workers, high staff turnover, and a general negative impact on employee morale. We've seen small businesses crumble due to poor recruitment practices.

Now, let's talk about some hilarious recruitment mishaps we've encountered along the way. Imagine visiting a highly recommended secondary school for your children, only to be discouraged by a weather-beaten blackboard notice at the gate: "Vacancies for English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics Teachers!" Talk about sending mixed signals! If a school has to advertise for core subject teachers at its gate, we'd advise looking elsewhere for your children's education.

But wait, there's more! Some business owners take recruitment to a whole new level of absurdity. How, you ask? Well, picture this scene: a vacancy board placed in front of the business premise, a couple of applications received, and an impromptu interview where gut instinct reigns supreme and technical skills are barely measured. The "best candidate" is then offered employment. If that's not enough, some even resort to administering traditional oaths to employees, solemnly swearing they won't pilfer the company's funds. We are not making this stuff up!

However, there's a light at the end of the recruitment tunnel. To reduce staff turnover and ensure growth, it's essential to engage skilled applicants who fit into your company culture. And let's not forget the magic of competitive remuneration packages. They're like the secret sauce that keeps your employees happy and your turnover rates low. Trust us; it's a win-win situation!
