Is it Good to Train Fresh Employees Than Hiring Skilled Workers?
1. Money Matter:
Investing money to train the inexperienced or a fresh candidate is a lot more than just hiring a skilled worker. But if you hire an unskilled fresh candidate, they can be offered quite a lesser salary [You can offer a salary that is given for fresher without any experience]. This can be an advantage of hiring a fresh candidate because if you want to hire an experienced candidate, you need to pay them more than that what you pay for a fresher.
If you look at the disadvantage part of hiring a fresh candidate, spending on them for training purpose is a lot more because, recruiting a fresh candidate is just a first step of hiring process; once you get a right candidate, you need to focus and invest on their training activities to help the new employees start producing their part of work for the company’s success. So, this problem is not much seen when you recruit a candidate who is already trained in this field or promoting an employee who is already working in your company. There is no need to invest the company’s money on training the experienced employees.
