‘INSIDER’S GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT’
THE RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY IS GROWING RAPIDLY AS ARE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYEDWITHIN IT. IN ORDER TO GIVE YOUR BUSINESS A CUTTING EDGE AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATELY SKILLED AND MOTIVATED INDIVIDUALSWITHIN YOUR ORGANISATION TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN THE GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET PLACE.
With the day to day responsibilities of most hiring managers within the energy industry it can be hard to find and then dedicate the time needed to recruit staff. If you get it wrong, and you are forced to replace an individual, the costs to your business can be vast. A recent study concluded that the cost of replacing an employee could be anything from 75 percent of the person's salary to an alarming 24 times the person's salary! So how do you go about identifying the right individual effectively?
IDENTIFY YOUR RESOURCE NEEDS Before hiring a new member of staff it is important that you consider the skills your business will need in order to function properly and complete the tasks at hand. In a growing industry, such as Renewable Energy it is important to ensure you have the right amount, and suitably skilled number of individuals to ensure the growth of your business keeps pace with the industry and that of your competitors. A combination of resource and succession planning will allow your business to identify upcoming skills gaps that need to be filled or areas of risk if an individual were to leave the organisation. If this is carried out regularly and effectively it should allow you enough time to make the necessary arrangements to bring in new members of staff.
However, that said we do not live in a perfect world where everything goes to plan. Should disaster strike it may be worth while considering an interim solution such as an external consultant with enough experience and skill to come in to your business and ‘hit the ground running’. On the face of things freelance consultants may seem expensive; however the cost of failing to deliver may be far higher. This will also afford you the time to carry out a well measured recruitment campaign ensuring you hire the right long term replacement.
