Cost Effective Recruiting
A typical small to midsized company doesn’t have much fat so watching and controlling costs is an everyday part of life. One cost under routine scrutiny is the cost of recruiting. Most of the largest costs of talent acquisition are hidden in variations in new hire performance and management time spent on trying to do it yourself. Cost effective recruiting involves attending to these real costs, not just the direct cash outlays. In this article we will help you understand what is driving your cost of recruitment and help answer the question: “Is there a better and cheaper alternative?”
The Biggest Cost: Variation in New Hire Performance
The biggest cost an organization can incur in hiring is getting a poor performer. Hiring a person is not like buying a physical asset (like a PC) because the variability in new hire performance is so much greater. You may calculate that a Dell notebook will have a lower total cost of ownership than an HP notebook or vice versa; but you won’t go far wrong with either brand. The same can’t be said for hiring. It’s easy to go very wrong with a hire and the costs of making a sub-optimal choice dwarf all the other cash costs involved in recruiting.
The obvious wrong hire is the one you fire or who resigns after a couple of months. All the direct and indirect costs of hiring and onboarding have to be incurred a second time to replace the failed hire. However, the largest cost to your organization is not the obvious failed hire; it’s the poor hire that is slow to learn the job, never performs very well, doesn’t fit the culture of the company and is certainly not bench strength for the next level up. This type of person will cost your organization money month after month and most likely will become a turnover statistic.
So the CFO’s number one question when looking at controlling hiring costs has to be “Are we reliably following the right hiring process to ensure that we are attracting and hiring only top performers?”
The Second Biggest Cost: Wasted Management Time The second biggest cost for organizations that don’t have a specialized recruiting department is the cost of management time. Does the plant manager end up spending a couple of hours crafting a poorly written job placement ad instead of looking at ways to cut defects or improve productivity? Is the sales manager spending the afternoon sorting through 50 unqualified resumes instead of shadowing a rep on a sales call?
Recruiting is time consuming and if your managers are spending time doing work that a specialist could be doing faster and better then that is a waste of an expensive resource. It’s not just the cost of a manager’s salary that is of concern; it’s that they are distracted from leading their department, being productive and adding value.
The CFO’s second question is “Do we have the right people working with the right hiring process to ensure that we are attracting and hiring only top performers?”
The Final Set of Costs - Direct Cash Outlays
The direct cash costs of recruiting are highly visible and are mainly sourcing related (e.g. the newspaper ad, the job board ad, the cost to attend a job fair) or agency fees (if you use a search firm). From an accounting point of view what is nice about these costs is that they are easy to track but they difficult to define in term of receiving value for money spent. Value here should be defined by a great quality of candidate response not a great quantity of responses. Would you rather attract five candidates with the skills, knowledge and behaviours to be a top performer than 50 candidates who are far from qualified? Time spent implementing a poor process to attract poor quality is a wasteful and costly burden on your recruiting staff and is unproductive.
The risk is that in trying to reduce these visible costs, organizations inflate the less visible costs. If cutting back on sourcing or employment agency expenses leads to lower quality of hire, longer time to hire or more management time spent on recruiting then it is a false saving.
The Argument for Outsourcing and Agencies
As we’ve discussed, if you look at the income statement you won’t see the two biggest costs involved in recruiting (poor quality of hire and the time your managers spend in running an inefficient recruiting process); what you may see is the cost of using a recruitment process outsourcer (RPO) or employment search agency. Is this a cost to be avoided?
The argument for using third party service providers in recruiting is the same as for any other aspect of the business: very often a specialized third party has the expertise, a finely honed process, an investment in technology and the economies of scale to do the work better, cheaper and faster than you can do in-house.
One shouldn’t underestimate the value a third party can bring to recruiting. A good search firm is up-to-date on the latest search tools, they have a modern applicant tracking system, and they are well trained in sourcing and selection. In particular, if they really are experts in this area then they have access to passive candidates that your firm just won’t have. Passive candidates are people who are not actively looking for a job but can be lured to the right opportunity. Professional recruiters invest a lot of time in building a network of high quality passive candidates, something very few organizations can do in-house.
If a third party can deliver top quality candidates then chances are they are saving you a lot of money not costing you a lot of money.
What About Your HR Department?
As soon as we talk about recruitment outsourcing or employment agencies someone will say “Shouldn’t our HR person be doing all our recruitment?” The quick answer is “No, maybe not. Let’s understand why. If you talk to full-time recruiters working in a Fortune 100 company they’ll take pains to explain why their job isn’t anything like HR. A good recruiter has a singular, aggressive, sales like approach quite removed from the multi-disciplinary process oriented style of a great HR professional.
If your organization has a single HR generalist then they will certainly know something about recruiting, but they won’t be an expert. It’s also unlikely that they’ve been allocated sufficient time to do a thorough job of sourcing and selecting candidates. Depending on your needs an HR generalist may be able to handle most duties effectively, but for many companies it’s asking too much for them to create and implement an effective recruitment process. Drawing upon the expertise and resources of outside service providers can assist to fill in the gaps in the process and produce better results. This is a far better option compared to making a bad hire and compromising your productivity, performance and profitability.
What to Do
Recruiting is a tough area for CFO’s to tackle because the most visible and easily calculable costs are not the most important or even the second most important costs. The job of the CFO is to ask tough questions around “Are we confident we are getting top quality candidates who will add value to this company?”, “Are we allocating recruiting work to the right people using an efficient and effective process?” and “Are we shooting ourselves in the foot with senior managers spending time recruiting at the expense of their real job?”
We can’t just assume that a good HR generalist can do all the work so we need to look at the value of third party providers. The value of a search agency or RPO is assessed on the quality of people they bring to your organization. Focus on quality and the value will be there.

Welcome to Google Hell - PPC Campaign Management Mistakes
If your Adwords campaigns are performing like the average Adwords campaign performs then allow me, “Welcome to Google Hell”. You see, most people involved in PPC campaign management do not have a clue when it comes to setting up and managing successful Google Adwords campaigns. Professional PPC campaign management requires specialized knowledge, a variety of tools and vigorous, daily maintenance. Most Adwords advertisers have none of these crucial factors, which is exactly why they have lost favor in the eyes of the Google gods and have been condemned to suffer the horrors of Google hell.
You are not Alone! Do not ever think you are alone when you experience horrible ad placement and high click costs. Many advertisers experience these same hardships day after day and week after week, but what do you expect? Only a small percentage of Adwords advertisers are ever extremely successful and that is because only a small amount of advertisers actually take the time to learn how to properly set up and manage Adwords campaigns. There are some crucial steps you must take when setting up your Adwords campaigns if you really want to be successful.
Success = Finding Grace in the Eyes of Google If you want to be successful in Adwords then finding grace in the eyes of the Google gods is NOT an option. In order to “find grace” there are several things that you must do to setup your campaigns exactly the way Google wants them and that requires getting inside the mind of Google and thinking the way a world class search engine does.
Get in the Mind of Google You must understand that Google, being the #1 search engine in the world, is all about providing the best content possible for its users. Not only is Google concerned about showing the best possible results first in organic search but Google is also very concerned with showing the best, most relevant results first in paid advertising as well. (Even though it is possible to influence your ad placement by raising your bids. However, earning high ad placement solely from paying more money is usually a stupid idea.) Anyway, to make a long story short Google is obsessed with “relevancy”.
I guarantee you that if you have lost favor in the eyes of Google then it is most likely because your Adwords campaigns lack relevancy or maybe Google just hates you Just joking, but on a serious note the Google gods will hate you if your campaigns are not relevant.
Relevancy is No Secret- It’s Just a lot of Work If you really want to get back in the good graces of Google then you need to make your campaigns have relevancy. Relevancy consists of three major parts; keyword relevancy, ad relevancy and landing page relevancy. Here is a quick overview of each:
Keywords Relevancy- This is where your keywords are divided up and organized into adgroups that are VERY closely knit where each keyword is highly relevant to the next. The ppc campaign management pros go even further by putting every keyword into separate adgroups. It may seem like a lot of work but it is worth it.
Ad Relevancy - Ad relevancy is where your ads are perfectly relevancy to the keywords. Ad relevancy is where the keyword searched on appears 1-3 times in the text ad. Ads containing the keyword searched on generally get rewarded higher ad placement from Google and usually get a higher CTR than most ads.
Landing Page Relevancy- Landing page relevancy is the process of making your landing page 100% relevant to all of your keywords. There are many factors which make up landing page relevancy but one great way to increase your landing page relevancy is by using a special technique called, “Dynamic Keyword Insertion”.
Why Product Reviews Are So Important to Affiliate Marketers
As an affiliate marketer you will make money by selling the product or service that is offered by the affiliate program. There are any number of ways to make this happen. One such method to increase your affiliate sales is through product reviews.
When people surf the Internet looking for goods and services, they usually read the ad copy. Some sound too good to be true and are, and others are more believable but you just never know what you are going to be spending your money on. Many discerning consumers look for sites that rate and review products as a way of distinguishing one from another.
As an affiliate marketer, if you have set up a site for the affiliate products you are advertising, use that space to bring attention to the affiliate product ads. Give the potential customers what they want by featuring product reviews.
Give honest and thorough product reviews of the products you are advertising, as well as similar products, so that your customers can see how the product they are considering stacks up to other products. If you can provide them with these reviews in one place, they won’t have to search all over the web for them.
One way to develop your reviews is to email a questionnaire link to visitors to your site. You can add an opt-in page so they can give their email address and name to be contacted for follow up. In the email, offer an incentive to the customer for clicking on the email link and filling out the questionnaire. Not all of the people you contact will have bought a product, but they may come back and buy after you contact them. It is one way to get in touch with those who click through to the link for the affiliate product.
Use customer comments on your website in your product testimonials. As an affiliate marketer, you have to believe in the product to sell it confidently. Buy a product and try it yourself. Get others you know to try it as well.
What about user stories? If a customer has an interesting story to tell, offer them a free product sample to share their story to be published on your site. Visitors love to read real customer accounts they can relate to.
Not all products are for everyone. Examine all customer comments to learn what they didn’t like and had problems with, if anything. Being honest in your reviews can avoid problems for some people. A product that contains certain ingredients can cause allergic reactions if an individual uses it. That doesn’t make it a bad product - just not right for certain customers. Glossing over things like this can cause credibility issues.
Overall, providing product reviews gives potential customers the information they need to know before they try your advertised product. Use your website to enhance affiliate sales with use Prduct Review Theme to product reviews.

Here are some quick tips which will help you manage your PPC campaign.
Keyword Selection
Keywords play the most crucial role in PPC campaigns. The keyword selection process consists of three steps, which include selecting the keywords, deciding bids on them correctly, and then grouping them in sets. Grouping of keywords has an advantage over selecting single keywords to maximize the click through rates. Additionally, it also helps in reducing the cost per click expenses.

Keywords performance can be the most crucial element contributing to the success of your PPC campaign. Therefore, it is important to monitor their performance on a daily, weekly, and a monthly basis so that you can make the necessary amends. It might so happen that one expensive keyword will yield you better revenue than five less expensive keywords. However, it does not always work that way and that is why setting targets and regular monitoring is important.
Combatting Click-fraud
Click fraud can cause substantial damages to your high budget PPC campaign. You can fight click fraud in multiple ways such as selecting continent specific adverts, blocking specific IP ranges or excluding them, and timely reporting. If you are opting for blocking select IP ranges, you need to be careful because sometimes along with the fraudulent clicks, it might also block out some of your potential customers.
Developing Landing pages
The landing page plays a very important role in successful PPC campaigns. Ensure that the landing page of your website is relevant, user friendly, and has an effective marketing look and feel. This will help in increasing conversion rates.
Creating an effective ad copy
Effective ad copywriting helps you in targeting your intended audience easily. Not only do they promote your products and services effectively, they also help in securing higher conversion rates.
