I have seen requisitions used for everything from a headcount control tool to a crutch for recruiters who are not really sure what they are doing. The irony is that in most cases its all about cost control. But the nature of a requisition, with an elongated approval process, is so reactive that by the time a recruiter takes action the pressure is so great to fill it, the cost to hire will go up because we might need to run a big ad or pay an agency fee. I look forward to your next article. Best regards, Ed Jeff – You have articulated this point extremely well.
