Why Companies Are Wasting Money on Traditional Talent Acquisition Processes

When was the last time your company evaluated its talent acquisition strategy?

If you’re like most, the answer might not be as often as it should be.

Many are familiar with the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule — where 80% of the outcomes come from 20% of the efforts. It’s a powerful concept, yet how often is it truly applied within corporate practices, especially in talent acquisition?

According to reports from SHRM, HubSpot, and LinkedIn, a staggering greater than 80% of successful hiring actually comes from outside traditional hiring and talent acquisition processes. This means that the vast majority of hires aren’t coming from the channels and systems into which companies pour millions of dollars. Yet, many organizations continue to pump resources into these conventional methods, expecting different results, which in some circles is considered ‘insanity.’

Companies are investing in a system that only yields a small percentage of their actual hires.

Their solution is often to change CRM, ATS, or HR Marketing vendor every few years and continue to pour more money into a process that repeatedly fails to deliver the majority of their hiring needs. Not to mention that most companies suffer from high turnover in HR staff — averaging just 18 months.

Why do we keep making the same mistake? Why do we double down on inefficiencies? Company leadership may recognize this travesty but often accepts the insanity as the norm, believing there’s no better alternative.
