Internal Recruitment Functions Dispute the Need to Financially Incentivse their Teams

"Following consultation with Internal Senior Recruitment Leads at a recent Resourcing Think Tank held at SAP, Oasis HR presents findings highlighting a clear difference in opinion regarding financially incentivising in-house recruiters. Approximately 30% of those present felt that incentivising internal recruiters was unnecessary compared to the remainder of the group, who believed that monetary reward positively impacted on the performance of their teams. Those who didn’t financially incentivise their teams reported that if individuals needed to receive this type of reward in order to perform, then they weren’t really a desirable type of employee. Additionally, it was noted that encouraging internal-recruiters to hit targets for monetary gain shifts their focus from quality to quantity. However, others involved in this discussion reported a positive experience with this form of incentivisation and highlighted great challenges with expecting staff to hit KPIs without the chance of an increased pay packet."
