Time pressures, legal obstacles and questions during recruitment activity over replacing what you had before against recruiting what your business needs in the future, means this activity often does not receive the full attention it deserves.
Such a labour intensive activity with agencies, adverts, CV sifting, scheduling a selection day and equal opportunities considerations can push the day job to the back seat, and you haven't even got around to shortlisting, let alone making an offer. The paradox of recruitment is that by diverting from the operational focus the day job becomes unmanageable - if only you could recruit the right support, but will you ever find the time? Then there are the legal pitfalls of recruitment, both direct and oblique, such as the Government department that was successfully sued for loss of opportunity by someone who never applied for the role; they are enough to test the most competent managers.
