Office manager recruitment carries low margin for error because operations require a dependable person at the helm making sure everything runs smoothly. Employers often face applicant pools filled with either junior administrators who are not ready for ownership or overqualified candidates unlikely to stay. The result is lengthy searches, extended time-to-hire, and turnover within the first year. The best office managers are often already employed, adding another layer of complexity to the office manager recruitment process.
