Let’s face it, in many businesses payroll is one of the largest (if not the largest) line item on your monthly budgets. So, it can sometimes be a very difficult decision to add on more staff. BUT, in some cases adding staff strategically can help drive a lot of profit to your bottom line.
So when do you know it’s time to hire? Here are a few warning signs:
- When bottlenecks are holding up production.
If you find that a certain area of your business is continually a bottleneck, then it’s time to evaluate your talent needs. In many cases, adding one or two new skilled people can have a dramatic effect on production and profits. - When you miss out on new business because you don’t have the needed help.
You’ve probably had a lot of great ideas for new business ventures; however, you may not have the resources to implement those plans. But by working with Career 1 Source, you can tap into the resources you need, when you need them, in order to take on new opportunities and grow your business. - When being a “do-it-yourselfer” is distracting you from your core job duties. Instead of taking the time to learn a new skill on your own, or spending hours trying to train your staff, bring in an experienced contract employee who can offer you the knowledge and capabilities you need on a temporary basis. There’s no learning curve and once the project is finished, you don’t have to worry about the cost of a full-time employee.
If you’re faced with any of these challenges, Career 1 Source can help. As the leading staffing and recruiting agency, we can provide employees to help eliminate bottlenecks, or recruit people with the specific skill sets you need.
