One of the most difficult tasks a company faces when growing is to remain efficient while being fiscally responsible. When a company starts out, normally there are just a handful of people so maintaining personnel records and other human resource tasks are relatively easy. As a company increases its most important asset, people, the job becomes much more difficult. In our case, not only has the employee pool grown, but also the distance. This exponentially compounds the problem. Our company has grown from just a few people to over 1,200 employees that are spread out over the entire state. We have a customer base of over 300 companies. These types of numbers and the demographics of these numbers make it nearly impossible for us to continue doing HR business as usual. It is time to evolve just as our company evolved or we will suffer because of it. Thankfully, there are numerous options at our disposal. I believe our first issue that needs to be addressed is the hiring of new staff. With our growth rate, it is inevitable that we have the continuing need to bring in new people. After a brief analysis of how we do things, I have come to the conclusion that this area can be greatly enhanced leading to less paperwork and quickening the process. There are some instances where it takes six months to fill a position and other instances where we are offering jobs to people who never even applied. In our country’s current financial situation, more and more people are out of work and are looking for a job (Outsourcing, 2009). This is both good news and bad news for us. It is good because we can be very selective in who we hire. We do not have to take the first person that comes along but can literally have the pick of the litter. It is bad because the amount of people looking for work bogs down just about any hiring process. We can get top quality people
