The opportunity cost of outsourcing recruitment female professors
As a researcher on prices and expenditures in the healthcare sector, I am particularly keen on the opportunity cost of new technologies especially since most are high-cost but not many are high-value. Combined with my role as a member of the University of Twente community, I cannot help but wonder about the value of contacting an external HR firm, albeit located at the Kennispark, to carry out the recruitment of 10 additional female professors by 2020.
