An IT recruiter is assigned a project and he immediately begins planning.  After creating a plan, he realizes there may be a better way to implement the steps and scratches his initial idea.  He develops a new method, which includes different steps, but also checks and balances along the way and incorporates other IT headhunters into his work.  Before he knows it, he has overcomplicated the whole procedure when in reality he just needs to keep things simple.

To some, the idea of simplicity is boring or too easy and additional steps need to be included to feel a challenge.  Often, these supplementary steps are where mistakes are made, which may make the project more cumbersome than necessary.  Rather than over complicating tasks, here are some reasons to keep some routine tasks as simple as possible.

Less Stress

Why add extra work where it isn’t needed if it produces the same outcome?  Stressing over trivial details can make IT recruiters irritable and difficult to work with.  They may also overstep their boundaries, causing others to become frustrated with them as well.  Rather than taking on unnecessary work, try the simple route and keep it cool.

Less Wasted Time

Focusing on irrelevant details and creating new steps takes time and attention that could be used in other areas.  Rather than wasting effort on fixing something that does not require change, maintain a routine.  By perfecting the required steps, IT staffing agencies will save time to focus on other projects, such as editing resumes that may require more work.  Also, creating new ways to complete projects is a form of procrastination.  Stop procrastinating by taking the initial step!

Less Mistakes

The simplest procedure is sure to highlight any outliers or mistakes.  The more convoluted a plan is, the more likely there will be errors or failure to meet deadlines.  Keep the process smooth and avoid having multiple people handling the project.  Let others become information technology experts in certain areas to keep things moving.

While some change is beneficial at IT staffing firms, it is not always necessary and can actually hinder productivity.  Before technical recruiters implement new procedures, they should have a trial run first.  Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ideas.
