COST APPROACH TO EVALUATING THE HIRING OF PERSONNEL
Introduction. The efficiency in the use of labor resources in any organization is an important factor in the analysis and evaluation of its activities. Thus use of the cost approach seems rather expedient. Data and methods. The process of hiring sales clerks for the retail chain "Pyaterochka" includes six stages and requires a small number of employees of the organization in question. At the same time a minimum number of requirements for applicants, which are evaluated only subjectively. The organization provides the closure of only one position through recruitment on the labor market. The remaining positions are closed as a result of the promotion of their own employees as a result of appropriate training. The peculiarities of the considered process allowed us to identify its shortcomings, among which the main ones are the lack of objective information about the nature of work and the subjective assessment of candidates. The results obtained. Stages of the process of hiring sales clerks were further evaluated on the basis of the cost approach on the following items: posting of ads about open positions on various services; review of vacancies by the call center recruitment manager; interview with the supermarket director; coordination of the candidate with the supervisor. The corporate chain "Pyaterochka" spends from 3 to 4 hours of time of employees involved in the process under consideration for hiring one sales cashier. The total amount of costs in this case is small - from 3.5 to 6 thousand rubles. If a job seeker directly applies for a vacancy in the supermarket he is interested in, then the costs are reduced to the value of about 1.5 thousand rubles. However, taking into account the total volume of closed vacancies monthly costs may increase up to 11,5 million rubles. Conclusion. As a result, the small cost of closing a vacancy in terms of the total volume of attracted employees is quite significant, which can have a negative impact on the activities of any organization with an uninformative and subjective approach to the evaluation of applicants in recruitment.
