When searching for qualified candidates, there are cost factors that need to be considered. For example, the cost of advertising in a major newspaper, Internet job board or business publications can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. If an ad generates only a few responses, the money may be wasted. With a large response, the time and cost involved in processing responses and interviewing applicants can be overwhelming and may not reap a qualified candidate. The cost of a internal recruiter’s time plus the cost of the Hiring Manager’s time used to screen and qualify many candidates can add up to thousands of dollars.
