I do not believe the staffing strategy in which it hires 10% more employees that it needs in any job category to ensure its hiring needs are met is not unethical. Leaders in any given organization can expect that some of the new hires will renege on the accepted offer and that the organization can renege on some of the offers given to applicants, if needed, due to background failures or failures of those applicants to adapt to the organizations culture or vision. With this 10% surplus, the organization will end up with the right number of new hires. As long as this process is described by HR to the individual that is presented with a job offer. Typically, there are many stages to the hiring process. With interviews, follow-up interviews, drug screenings, medical reviews and background checks weed out a lot of applicants. It is paramount that there are enough people in a pool at various steps with in the applicant process. Each step can take an extended period of time and no step guarantees employment. I have personally passed all stages of a hiring process and then left into a hiring pool awaiting my opportunity only to be called months later with the Human resources representative asking me if I was still interested in the position. It is not necessarily fair to give applicants high hopes of being part of the team and hired as an employee, but business is business and it is competitive. Any business or organization cannot fill vacancies fast enough with out a surplus of potentially qualified individuals. This is especially crucial in occupations that require the clearing of crucial steps. To become a police officer, the hiring process took 11 months with arduous screening that left me in a queue until budgeting was available to hire me.
Explanation / Answer
The hiring strategy depends on occupation to occupation, and so the steps involved in it which consists of interviews telephonic/ face to face, background checks, salary negotiation, medical check-ups etc. Although it is difficult for a company to complete all processes perfectly in give timeframe and within budget, still maintain the ethics and professionalism is company’s employees and hiring team’s duties. Many applicants are left on pity of Recruitment team in wrong-consideration of their application, some have to wait too long to hear an offer, salary offered or rejection message. In many cases, recruiters don’t even respond on any rejection message. So the whole situation turns into an irony for the applicant in the end. It’s all comes to business’s interest and profitability and mood in the end, which is the bad part. Some just are rejected or have to wait due to not right judgement on the company’s management decisions regarding budget to hire and how many to be hired, which is not a good sign of healthy professionalism in any kind of industry or occupation.
