Blog Post: How to re-hire strategically

Hi, this is Bill Kasko, President and CEO of Frontline Source Group, Inc. a temporary staffing and direct hire employment placement agency in Houston, TX. When losing an employee, whether the person has quit or the company terminated the individual, your first instinct might be to refill that position quickly. Your mind-set as a hiring manager is often focused on finding someone with the qualities and skill-sets to match the existing position.  This is not such a bad thing, but to think “outside the box” may be a better move for your company.

Instead of simply trying to “fill the position” that a previous employee may have left, try to take a broader approach of the work that needs to get done and the skill set required. The previous employee may have been very good at his or her job. With that person being gone now, why not consider filling the position with someone who has the skills to perform the current tasks but also has additional competencies that allow him or her to grow with the strategic direction of the department and the company?  

When there is an opening, HR can work with managers to assess how to position the job for growth. Take some time to look at the existing job description and required competencies, and assess whether they still reflect current business needs and potential business needs over the next few years.

By being proactive when these opportunities present themselves, you will go a long way toward helping managers attract and retain talent that can grow with the company. And if you do that, you will also be helping the company with its overall succession planning needs.
