Recruitment Process Inefficiency and Hiring Cost Waste
Definition
Recruiting skilled fabrication workers is time-consuming and money-wasted through outdated hiring processes. Fabricators must spend 3+ weeks to identify candidates and commit to 6+ months of on-the-job training with uncertain outcomes. Many invest thousands in scholarship programs with limited ROI. This creates dual problems: (1) opportunity cost of management time, (2) direct recruitment advertising spend with poor yield, (3) training investment with turnover risk, (4) production delays from unfilled positions. The process is particularly inefficient for small shops lacking dedicated HR resources.
