At a time when the there are restrains on the budget for recruitment of full-time staff, it may be a wise option to consider alternatives. One option of course is hiring a part-time employee. In some cases, companies prefer to use part-time workers to provide more flexibility during the peaks and valleys of the business cycle. This way the company can still find desired talent and potentially offer them a full-time position eventually.
On the other hand outsourcing allows the organization to focus on its own competencies, without the added cost and effort of having to take on the task of talent acquisition. With outsourcing, an outside vendor performs this service. One very popular area of outsourcing is IT. It is however important to know that the essential functions, meaning those that are directly related to the core competencies of the organization, should not be outsourced. International recruitment is yet another option, yet one that is not one size fits all. The costs are high, and hence necessitated only by performing cost benefits analysis.
