Abstract

The object of this paper is to measure the average costs derived in a wrong means of a contractual act in 21 enterprises of diverse size and sectors that act in the region of Misiones (RS). To reach the results a cuanti-qualitative questionnaire was used dividing the enterprises into three groups: those that always outsourced the activities of Recruitment and Selection of Personnel, those that sometimes outsourced, and those that never did so. The data considered were: the total costs of a process of the Recruitment and Selection to cover a post, the monthly average remuneration of the professionals, the average time invested by the professionals in the activities of Recruitment and Selection, the necessary time to train a new employee and the average investment in this training. It was also taken in consideration the fiscal alignment, if it is Real, Presumed or Simple Lucre. The results demonstrate that it has been financially advantageous to outsource the activities of Recruitment and Selection of Personnel for the enterprises of the sample, with specialized enterprises (recruiting cost). And when this recruiting is wrong, even then these costs are less, if compared with the enterprises that do not outsource these services.
