    Recruiment Methods

    Uploaded by

    Alexandra Apostol
    Internal recruitment has advantages such as being cheaper and quicker than external recruitment, and allowing existing employees familiar with company operations to be promoted. However, it also limits the potential applicant pool and prevents new ideas from outside the company. External recruitment draws from a larger pool of candidates with diverse experience but is more expensive and lengthy. Both methods have tradeoffs between costs, timeliness, and breadth of candidates.

    2.2 Sources of recruitment
    Recruitment, assessment and selection are the three key steps for hiring employees. Of these,
    recruitment and selection are typically the most challenging for employers. The keys to finding
    the right candidates at the right time and hiring them are being strategic and thinking about the
    organization's future.( Williams, 2012)
    Recruitment followed by selection are vital stages in the formation of the expectations that
    form the psychological contract between employer and employees. (J. Bratton, J. Gold, 2007)
    The main purpose of the recruitment methods is attracting the applicants

    In human resources' jargon, recruiting or advertising for new employees is sometimes referred to
    as "sourcing," meaning using different sources to find said employee candidates. Once a number
    of candidates are found, you must qualify each and determine if they are a good fit. (O.
    Richason IV, 2012)

    2.2.1 Internal sources of recruitment

    Internal sources of recruitment refer to obtaining people for job from inside the company. There
    are different methods of internal recruitment:
    1. Promotion
    Companies can give promotion to existing employees. This method of recruitment saves a lot of
    time, money and efforts because the company does not have to train the existing employee. Since
    the employee has already worked with the company. He is familiar with the working culture and
    working style. It is a method of encouraging efficient workers.

    Departmental examination
    This method is used for selecting employees and promoting them to a higher position.
    Usually and advertisment is put up on the news board of the company. Employees who
    are interested and have the necessary requirements must send their applications to the
    human resources department and then they must take an exam or a test according to the
    position they are applying for. Candidates which pass the tests are then given the job.
    This method ensurs impartiality.

    Transfer
    The idea of this method is to select talented personnel from other branches of the company
    and transfer them in the branches where there is a shortage of employees.

    Retirement
    Some companies may call back personnel who already retired from the organization. This is
    a temporary method and it reduces recruitment and selection costs.

    Employee recommendation
    Employees are asked to recommend people for jobs. Because the current employee knows
    the working conditions as well as the requirements needed for the job he can recommend the
    most suitable person for the job.

    2.2.2 External sources of recruitment


    1. Employment agencies
    Companies can make a contract with an employment agency that searches, interviews and
    obtains the required number of people requested by the company.

    2. Campus recruitment
    This method is used when companies want fresh and talented people that can come up with new
    ideas and that are eager to work. Companies visit colleges, universities, technical institutions,
    make a presentation about the company and the vacant positions and then they invite people to
    apply. The candidates are then called and have to participate and pass a series of tests selection
    and interviews before getting the job.
    3. News paper advertisement
    This is one of the oldest and most known method of recruitment. Job advertisements are
    published in well known news papers. The details of the job are mentioned, as well as the salary
    in some cases. Possible candidates are given a contact address, e-mail or telephone number in
    order to get more information, to send applications and to schedule an interview. This is one of
    the most popular methods of recruitment because it reaches many people and it doesnt require
    too much money.
    4. Internet advertisement
    The rising popularity of the internet (social media, online news papers, forums, etc.) among
    people as well as companies has lead to a new trend in recruitment: internet advertisements.
    Companies can post on specialized web sites, (ejobs.ro, bestjobs.ro, etc.) on social media sites
    (facebook.com, twitter.com) or on online news paper editions. Applicants can send their C.Vs
    with just one click and if they meet the requirements companies call them and schedule an
    interview. This method is rising in popularity because more and more people prefer to use the
    internet.
