Permanent Recruitment in Quebec: Advantages and Disadvantages
Permanent recruitment raises questions for many managers: is it more advantageous than temporary recruitment? This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of permanent recruitment, particularly in remote regions of Quebec, to help employers choose the strategy best suited to their objectives.
Advantages of Permanent Recruitment in Quebec
-
Qualified candidates
With low unemployment, attracting prime candidates means offering job security and competitive advantages, which permanent recruitment makes possible, especially in remote areas where choices may be limited.
-
Employee Loyalty
A long-serving employee develops strong loyalty, reinforcing the corporate culture and facilitating talent retention, which is crucial in sectors where continuity is essential.
-
Training profitability
Investing in training for permanent employees is more cost-effective, as they stay longer, ensuring a long-term return on investment, particularly important for companies located in remote areas.
Disadvantages of permanent recruitment
-
Cost and flexibility
Permanent recruitment imposes fixed salaries, which can be problematic for companies with seasonal needs, especially in rural areas of Quebec.
-
Cost of bad hires
Incorrect selection can result in significant costs after the trial period, including compensation and notice periods – a particularly high risk in tight labor markets.
-
Legal obligations
Employers must comply with various legal obligations, such as paid leave and insurance, increasing costs for businesses in Quebec.
-
Impact of resignations
The resignation of a key permanent employee can have a major impact on the company, due to the loss of expertise, which is all the more critical in remote areas where recruitment is already a challenge.
