2. Methods Of Recruitments

 


According to Anwar & Qadir, (2017, in the recruitment process there are several types of  methods but which are narrow to two main methods which are: narrow to two main methods which are:

Internal Recruitment

Internal recruitment is cost-efficient, to support employee satisfaction and morale. Spend some time in the recruitment or Encourage current employees before looking outside the company for talent (Abdullah & Abdul Rahman, 2015). Nothing is more disappointing than the employee, who works hard to get promoted, to see someone new take over the position Deserved or desired (Demir, Mahroof, & Sabba Kahn, 2020). Promote within the organization involves less training and transition (Abdulla 2019). Human resource planning to Internal recruiting because it is faster and easier to find needed employees when you planning to fill a vacant position on time and managers improve their decision making in the recruitment process using other choices (Ali, 2021). On internal recruitment, some methods would use which are job bidding and job posting and Employee references (Ali, 2021).

Job Bidding And Job Posting:

  • The process for notifying the company employees that a job opening exists is called a Job posting.
  • Authorize individuals to apply for a posted job, who presumes that they possess the required qualifications, is done through Job bidding technique.

Employee References:

  • May give you phenomenal prospects for the current suggested employees
  • Current employees will waver to set down average capacity candidates.

External Recruitment

External recruitment refers to acquiring personnel from the labor market through different means. It has got the advantage of bringing a "New blood" new perspective. In addition, it may bring industry insights- an infusion of competitors' ideas and secrets (Fishen, Schoenfeldt, & Shaw, 1996).

Some of the organizations recommend external recruiting because an external employee they don’t think too much like an existing employee thing (Prabhu, Abdulla, & Ahmaed, 2020), sometimes when you want to recruit internal recruitment this employee when you want to hire the position to another position he/she think she promoted and he/she wants to promote in salary too because when you hire employee your company should rise or promote salary too (Ali, 2021), but for the new employee in external recruiting new employee did not think too much on a salary he/she don’t need too much when existing employee want. According to (Prabhu, Abdulla, & Ahmaed, 2020), there are 3 points on external recruiting are labor market conditions, legal considerations, and corporate image. 

Methods Of External Recruitment:

The methods most widely used by applicants and recruiters are the following:

  • Walk-ins and Write-ins

Walk-ins are job seekers who arrive at the personnel department in search of a job. Write-ins are those who send written inquiries. Usable application forms completed by both groups are kept in an active file until a suitable opening occurs or until the applications are too old to be invalid, usually six months (Werthen and Davis, 1993)

  • Employee Referral
One recruitment method that appears to be increasing in popularity, although not a new practice is the use of employee referral schemes, where existing employees suggest potential candidates drawn from their networks (Sisay, 2011). 

  • Advertising
Since ads can reach a wider audience than employee referrals or unsolicited walk-in, many recruiters use them as a key part of their efforts (Sisay, 2011). The most common recruitment medium is that of local newspaper advertisement,  advertisements on TV, radio, and notice boards are also other media (Sisay, 2011). In addition, the use of career and job websites to advertise vacancies is growing (Sisay, 2011). The availability of online recruitment advertising is encouraging companies to do it directly, bypassing the traditional recruitment procedures (Sisay, 2011). 

  • Professional Search Firms

These are specialized firms that usually recruit only specific types of people for a fee paid by the employer. They actively seek out recruits among the employees of other companies (Sisay, 2011).

  • Educational Institutions (College Recruiting)

Many universities, colleges, and vocational schools offer placement assistance to their current students. This assistance helps employers and graduates to meet and discuss employment opportunities  (Fishen, Schoenfeldt, & Shaw, 1996).

  • Professional Associations

These often maintain placement rosters and job fairs, especially at annual conventions (Sisay, 2011). What makes their associations particularly appealing to recruiters is that members of professional associations are more likely to remain informed of the latest developments in the field, thus, leading to higher-quality applicants from these sources (Sisay, 2011).

The example can be stated in the context of the leading telecommunication industry where I am employed; the method of internal recruitment is being done for the above executive level of employees. Besides this, which prefer targeted recruitment and they are constantly on the lookout for talented, enthusiastic, and passionate individuals who are determined to deliver results and grow with the company and share in the company’s success. If any post becomes vacant or any new position is created then the company just advertises through the company website for that particular position with the specific requirements needed to apply. They have a website where applicants send their CV‟s. The walk-in interview method also is being used for the selective vacant.

  1. Agreed with the argument. I want to suggest E-recruitment further. HRM must recruit the HRM to assist the organization in placing the right person in the right job. Nowadays E-recruitment has more famous in the global. HR needs too little adoption to build a pool of candidates, fill out application forms, techniques to identify viable job candidates and send job candidates to their supervisor (Shih, Huang and Shyur, 2005).

    1. True, in recent days, organization utilizes many digital tools for recruitment and this made way for the term “e-recruitment”. It is key lever of organization human resource management like career management or talent management. The prime objective of e-recruitment is to make recruiting processes more efficient and less expensive. And, by using e-recruitment, organization can reach a larger pool of potential employees and speed up the hiring process (Recardo, 2020).

  2. While considering internal recruitment, the main goal is loyalty and inspiring employees for betterment of employees and organization(Gilbert, 2000). External recruitment consideration, there is a process of recruiting employees by outsourced institutions which can be argued that they cannot be guaranteed the loyalty of the employees and it is also negatively impact to the organization that 3rd party is not properly aware with organizational processes, QoS or production (Jamil, 2013). ). The adoption of E-system effectively and its proper implementation are basic requirement of increasing the productivity of organization and performance of employees (You & Ash, 2014).

    1. Thank you Thushari, besides the perspective of loyalty, hiring more people from inside from organization may result in a stagnant culture. This is because employees can get too comfortable with the ‘way things are done’ and struggle to spot inefficiencies and experiment with new ways of working. An inflexible culture will be more problematic in leadership positions where employees may need to advocate for change and improvements instead of relying on established, inefficient practices. External hires are essential in shaking up culture and offering a fresh perspective on existing problems (Zieba, 2017)

  3. Agreed with your view. Recruitment can be done either internal or external and it will mainly depend on the HR practices and policies of the organization since both sources have merits and demerits. However, neither source is better than the others. When adding few points, internal sources of recruitment is a better strategy when the vacant position requires insiders who know the organization, its strengths and weaknesses, culture and people very well. On the other hand, recruiting outsiders is a better strategy when the organization is looking for fresh blood (Jacobson, 2020).

    1. True Iresha, in addition, according to (Grobler, 2006)probably the most important benefits to recruiting from internal environment is the increased morale for employees who trust that the organization will reward successful performance and that they will be promoted to higher opportunities. Whereas there are unique advantages from internal recruitment, organizations also have a numeric reasons to recruit from external sources .For low level positions and upper level positions, the organization has no internal recruits from which to adopt. Also in taking from outsiders may give the organization to new innovative ideas or new ways of doing business .

  4. Agreed with the argument, Recruitment ‘includes those practices and activities carried out by the organization with the primary purpose of identifying and attracting potential employees’ (Breaugh and Starke, 2000) and has long been regarded as an important part of HRM as it ‘performs the essential function of drawing an important resource – human capital – into the organization’ (Barber, 1998).

This is important as it would be the determination of success of the organization and would affect the whole organization operation. Man power is one of the most valuable assets in any organization (Mondy, 2019)

  5. Agreed with your discussion point. However, I would want to emphasize the significance of e-recruitment. The level of competitiveness has risen dramatically as a result of globalization. As a result, e-recruitment has emerged in every corner of the globe (Marr, 2017). E-recruitment, I believe, will overtake and establish itself as the standard for recruitment in this decade, out of all the methods and ways.

    1. True, organization should be aware of the government rules and regulation, before formulating process of recruitment and selection. Organization should understand this clearly before; they are going to implement recruitment and selection of human resources. Hence, it can be stated that observation of rules and policies will facilitate the implementation of tasks and functions in a well-organized manner (Acarlar & Bilgic , 2012).

    1. True, Whether a particular job vacancy would be filled by people from internal or external would, of course, depend upon the availability of employees, the organization’s human resource policies, and the requirements of the job to be staffed (Bohlander & Snell, 2002).

  11. Yes true, also (Garner, 2012) stated that, the recruiting process is an integral part of running any organization, to improve the recruitment and selection organization should develop a clear employer brand, create job posts that reflect your company, use social media, invest in an applicant tracking system, explore niche job boards, consider college recruiting, find passive candidates and let them know you want them and conduct awesome interviews. Organizations should be sure with these recruitment strategies to improve the hiring process.

  12. Yes Agree and as per Schuler and Jackson (2003) promoting from within policy can serve as an effective reward, they also points out Schuler and Jackson (2003), it also commits a firm to providing training and career development opportunities if the promoted employees are to perform well, and are truly competitive for positions and do not perceive internal recruitment for higher level positions as – ‘mere talk’ on the part of the management.
