Firms may lose a month when workers quit sales jobs
Companies lose an average of 30 working days when employees leave positions such as sales jobs, a new report has found.
The Adecco PayCheck Survey 2008 discovered that the time between an employee leaving an organisation and their replacement beginning work is on average about a month, reports Personnel Today.
This time period is extended when skilled managers leave an organisation, in news that may be of interest to sales engineers.
Steven Kirkpatrick, managing director with the company, said that the news should act as a wake-up call to companies employing inefficient recruitment procedures.
"With the average time to replace an employee at a skilled manager level at nearly seven weeks, companies need to consider a more efficient approach for sourcing the right employees," he told the publication.
Recent research by SHL discovered that line managers may not be equipped with the necessary interview skills to select the best candidates for the job.
