» But Seriously…
» The Norm - “doing it yourself”…˃ I don’t need a job description…it’s just a ____˃ I’ll just post it on craigslist.com˃ You know, last year’s guys weren’t THAT bad.˃ I’ll put a sign in our window˃ We’ve always done it this way
» So – maybe there are some new ideas?

» Considerations for Outsourcing:˃ Non-compete˃ Non-disclosure˃ Long-term commitment
![Page 17: Finding Labor in an improving economy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815ef0550346895dcdb1bf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
» Pros and Cons to each approach˃ Do it yourself
+ TIME + But – Time = Money, right?
˃ Let someone else do it+ COST?+ Most won’t be able to offer the full list of services
˃ Outsource+ Do you REALLY want to hire a company to do your core business
function?+ Long-term commitment to reap benefits+ Training my competition?+ Building an excellent exit strategy?

» Just a note about RETENTION˃ HIRE for ATTITUDE˃ Have a hiring PROCESS˃ Have up-to-date and ACCURATE job descriptions˃ Train, Train, Train˃ Pay retention bonus

» What I learned investigating this topic˃ Staffing companies are only good up to a point, but that point could be
WELL worth the price. Every ‘placement’ deal is negotiated locally.˃ Outsourcing with the right partner could really pay dividends˃ Temporary/Seasonal doesn’t get you “off the hook” legally with these
employees…even if you COULD use a staffing company. You really need to do your homework.
