Challenges of Hiring Senior Level Positions @ SME's

The following are the real-life support exposure by Husys - HR Function Management company.

This is one of the greatest challenge for any SME. It takes lot of time in taking decisions due to the cost,perceptions implications attached to the decision.
The Following are the challenges faced:
- Identification and encouraging the candidate for a company who are making the first decision.
- Translation of the Vision during the discussion and ensure there is a big picture for some one to take decision.
- Cost implications associated at each stage of brining such senior level
- What is the longitivity.. ensuring a long-term approach
- How does the hirining impact on the existing system interms of acceptance and effectiveness of business returns.
- How do we represent at each stage of identification, negotiation and encouraging to see joining.

Few of the things that are very essential in such cases.
- A clear cut Vision, Mission and short-term(1year) and long-term(2-3 years) plan for organisation.
- Translation of objectives into measurable components and specific time-lines
- Clear Job description and more importantly the clarity of the Role in the value addition to the organisation.
- Sustenance of the cost for the resource and impact on the overall functioning and profiability of the organsiation.
- Clear parameters interms of the compensation, role, expectations and measurable output.

The above would help any SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE to manage their Induction of such Senior level would be of smooth transaction.

Please do write your comments and suggestions for improvising this note.

  1. Dear G.R
    It is in deed a challenge to hire a for a senior level-SME. With your expertise in HR, the article made me to think of few points.

    1) The company's vision has to be strong & challenging, so that the individual should be convinced for taking up the challenge & taking it forward for new heights.

    2) Hiring an individual who has in deed made a difference for his/her previous company (ex: Increasing the business from X level to X++ level or growing the company from ground zero to new heights)

    3) Hiring an individual who has not shifted the companies very often.

    Thank you

  2. hi Vikram,

    you shared some good points...

    in real life.. the problem will be even worse to get the people whom you described...

    The best way the SME can grow.. is to retain the top people ( May i can quote then SME. Infosys.. which retained its top level.. for which the success we know wht it is.

    GR: Hope you agree with me...

    Regards,
    Naresh

  3. Both of you have noted the key points of difference... Yes, the most difficult situation is to see the difference between the expected and available and acquired is very different.

    One of the best way is to create the senior level from within would always help. Ofcourse the plan for managing for such long hauls is how you retain and grow your talent in the mean time.
