The Dark Side of Talent Acquisition: When Cost Cuts Come at a Price
In a recent conversation with my Vice President of Global Services, we ventured into a topic that many might prefer to keep under wraps—namely, the strategy of sourcing talent. What became startlingly clear is that the organization’s approach goes beyond merely filling positions at the lowest possible costs. They are actively pursuing opportunities in countries with the most lenient labor laws.
This practice raises significant concerns about the impact on overall team morale. When employees learn their company is prioritizing cost savings over ethical hiring practices, it can lead to disillusionment and disengagement.
I can’t help but wonder if others are also witnessing these kinds of discussions within their organizations. For me, this revelation comes just as I prepare to transition from my current role. As I look forward to new opportunities, I find hope in the idea that not all workplaces operate with this mindset. As the industry evolves, it is crucial for companies to foster a culture that values ethical hiring and supports team well-being.
In the quest for talent, let’s not forget the importance of building a strong, motivated workforce rooted in fair practices. After all, an organization thrives when its employees feel valued and secure.
