difficult part for organization and attracting right candidate becomes harder.

To
recruit employee more money needs to be spend and more wages to attract the
best possible applicants. For example if an organization has an opening for a
chief accountant ,to recruit the applicant for the position organization has to offer
the best possible salary they can to attract him . Since the market is tight
applicants can leave if they are not well paid.

In loose labour market unemployment level is high and it’s easier to find
candidates. Less costly compared to tight labour market. Recruiting and retaining
strong performance is not a problem as it easy to find a replacement. For
example if an organization need to recruit a carpenter. They can easily find the
applicant in market because of greater choice of same candidates .Organization
can recruit the applicant at a less salary what they demand.
