Recruitment Problems Faced by Startups Every startup comes with its own share of ups and downs, ifs and buts. One of the biggest challenges for a startup is recruitment of talented employees. There could be a number of reasons why startups find it difficult to hire. Lack of Brand – One of the Biggest Recruitment Problems The lack of brand value of a startup could be a letdown for prospective employees. This is especially problematic when startups try to hire on their own or through campus-based recruitment. Because of the pressure of choosing companies that have a multinational presence, most talented students and candidates avoid startups which are often assumed to be cash strapped just 5-10 employees and limited number of clients. Moreover, startups come with risks and challenges that candidates wish to avoid due to fear of failure. At such a time, HR recruitment firms could help startups find suitable candidates as they are able to establish credibility and reliability in prospective candidates about the company. Limited Resources – Another Recruitment Hassle Startups find recruitment very time consuming and a drain on resources. They have limited resources and in order to allot people to hire for them, they need to remove employees from their core competency so that they can focus on the company’s hiring needs. This results in reduced labor efficiency, opportunity cost, etc. for the startup. This problem could be overcome by planning the recruitment process with a clear plan in place so employees can prioritize their hiring activities and core operations accordingly. HR recruitment firms that especially cater to the


needs of startups can come in handy at such a time as they take off the drain on existing resources so the startup can focus on core competencies. Finding the Right Fit Finding employees with the right cultural fit, skills, and personality is very challenging. While it is fairly difficult to find the candidate with the right set of skills during recruitment, it is even harder to find someone who would fit into the startup’s work culture. While hiring or taking the services of an HR recruitment firm, startups should make sure that prospective hires know what is expected of them in their potential role and how it is to work for a startup. The scope of responsibilities is wider and more commitment is demanded due to aggressive deadlines. Although some young enthusiastic professionals think that they would enjoy such a work environment, it is essential to identify whether or not a prospective candidate would give up along the way. High Competition in Job Market Startups are under the pressure to offer compensation at par with the market. During recruitment, candidates focus on the offered salary if not at the company’s brand value.Because startups are usually cash strapped, offering competitive wages could be very challenging. In order to acquire great talent, startups need to work on their value proposition. Young talent is always enthusiastic to make an impact and young professionals realize that only startups can offer them the environment and responsibilities that cater to their larger-than-life ambitions of being change makers.
