Balancing between training current employees to fill future positions and investing in staffing processes to land top-tier external candidates is tricky. Even if you’ve already found (and hired) your next top performer; it’s important to know the pros and cons of developing talent within your company.

In fact, established companies spent 38 percent more on employee training than their up-and-coming peers.

The question for staffing strategists, then, is: Which approach best fits your needs?
