METHODS OF RECRUITINGOnce an organization has decided it needs additional or replacement employees, it is faced with decision of how to generate the necessary applications.

Recruiting strategy and policiy decisions require identifying

- where to recruit- whom to recruit- how recruiting will be done

RECRUITING SOURCES

INTERNAL RESOURCES EXTERNAL RESOURCES

Promoting from within Hiring from outside the

the organization organization

Most organizations have to use both internal and external sources to generate a sufficient number of applicants.

Organizations that face a rapidly changing competitive environment and conditions may need to place more emphasis on external sources in addition to developing internal sources.

However, for those organizations existing in environments that change slowly, promotion from within may be more suitable.

INTERNAL RESOURCES

Using internal recruiting means using various sources developed and managed inside the organization.

Many organizations attempt to develop their own low level employees for higher positions.

Promoting from inside the organization has some advantages and disadvatages.

Internal RecruitingADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Morale of promotee Grouping

Better assesment of abilities

Possible morale problems of those not promoted

Lower cost for some jobs “Political” infighting for promotions

Motivator for good performance

Need for management development program

Causes a succession of promotions

Have to hire only entry level

Internal Recruiting Methods

Organizational databases (Skill inventories)

Job postingEmployee referrals and

recommendations

Organizational Databases (Skill inventories)Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) allows HR departmants to maintain backround and information on existing employees.

HR specialist can accsess databases by entering job requirements and then receive a listing of current employees meeting job requirements

Job PostingJob posting, a system in which the employer

provides notices of job openings and employees respond by applying for specific openings.

The organization can notify employees of job vacancies in a number of ways, including posting notices on bulletin boards, using employee newslatter and sending out e –mails to managers and employees.

The purpose of the job posting system is to provide employees more opportunities to move within the organization.

The organization must allow a reasonable period of time for present employees to check notices of available jobs before it considers external applicants.

PROMOTIONSMany organizations choose to fill vacancies

through promotions or transfers from within whenever possible.

Although most often successful, the person’s performance on one job may not be a good predictor of performance on anther, because different skills may not be a good predictor of performance on another, because different skills may be required on the new job.

As employees transfer to or are promoted to other jobs, individuals must be recruited to fill their vacated jobs.

Planning on how to fill those openings should occur prior to job transfers or promotions, not afterwards.

Current Employee Referrals and Recommendations

A recommendation from a current employee regarding a job applicant.

One of the better sources for individuals who will perform effectively on the job is a recommendation from a current employee.

Because employees rarely recommend someone unless they believe the individual can perform adequately.

The recommender often gives the applicant more realisticinformation about the job than could be conveyed through employement agencies or newspaper advertisments.

This information reduces unrealistic expectations and increases job survival.

Some studies have found that new workers recruited through current employee referrals have longer tenure with organizations than those from other recruiting sources.

INTERNET RECRUITING

The Internet has become a primary means for employers to search for job candidates and for applicants to look for jobs.

Many Internet users post or submit resumes on the Internet.

employment sections at their Web sites.

Employer Web Sites

Aside from the popularity of job boards and other job sites, may employers have found their Web sites to be more effective and efficient when recruiting candidates.

Many employers have included employment and career information as part of their organizational Web sites.

On many of these sites, job seekers are encouraged to e-mail resumes or complete on-line applications.

Advantages of Internet Recruiting- Internet recruiting is cheaper than

newspaper advertising, employement agencies and other external sources.

- Internet recruiting can save considerable time. Applicants can respond quickly to job postings by sending e mails.

Recruiters can respond to qualified candidates more quickly

- An expanded pool of applicants can be generated using Internet recruiting. A large number of candidates may see any given job listing although exposure depends on which internet sources are used.

- Job literally are posted globall, so potential applicants in other geographic areas and countries can view job openings posted on the Web.

Disadvantages of Internet RecruitingBy using Internet Recruiting, employers may

get more unqualified applicants. According to a survey, one third of HR

recruiters found that Internet recruiting created additional work for HR staff members.

Many individual who access job sites are just browsers who may submit resumes just to see what happens, but who are not seriously looking for new jobs.

HR specialist must rewiev more resumes and deal with more a-mail.

Second disadvantages is that applicants may have limited Internet access, especially individuals from lower socio-economic groups .

So employers using Internet recruiting may not be reaching as diverse a recruitment pool as might be desired.

In spite of disadvantages, Internet recruiting will continue to grow.

Effective On-Line Job Postings1. Make the posting attractive. It must draw people’s attention, so use some graphics, company logo, and other simple art work.

2. Make it readable. Use easy –to read language and avoid too many abbreviations and jargon not easily recognizable by applicants. Also, do not use all capital or bolded letters, which look too dense.

3. Recognize that shorter is better. Too many employers start on –line ads with 50-60 word on the company and descriptive words that are overused, such as “challenging”, “progressive”, etc.

4. Start with clear job title and overview. The job title and brief description of job responsibilities determine whether anything else is read. If the first paragraph is not interesting, the rest of the details will not be read.

5. Describe the employer concisely . A brief of the employer, especially the division and location of the job, should provide information and cretae interest in the organization.

6. State necessary qualifications clearly.

7. Provide salary and benefits information

8. How to apply. Automatic links to e-mail or to an employment application should allow an applicant to click to apply. As back up, fax number and mailing address information should be provided along with a contact number.

Potential Disadvantages takes longer and costs more  little information about candidate’s ability to

Media Advertising

One commonly used external recruiting source is advertising through radio, television, and newspapers. Perhaps the most popular method of recruiting is through newspaper and magazine advertisements.

It should be noted that advertisements that do not disclose the name of the company are typically less effective than other classified advertising methods and should be avoided. Position announcements may also be posted in locations where they are likely to be seen by persons seeking jobs.

Through advertising, you can be selective and indicate clearly the nature of a job and required qualifications.

If a small business is seeking a particular skill, it should emphasize this skill in any advertisement used.

With the exception of newspaper advertisement, the main disadvantage of advertising is that it can be expensive.

The three key objectives of a good advertisement are that it:-Attracts attention (to successfully compete

with other job advertisements in that media)

- Creates and maintains interest (it has to communicate accurate information about the job, the company, the rewards, the nature of the job, the type of person wanted)

- Stimulate action (the message must be sufficiently strong for potential applicants to read it to the end and then make the time and effort to respond in the required way.

The success of the advertisement should not be measured by the volume of the response.

It is only the quality of response that matters how many applications are received from candidates that have the necessary requirements to fit the specification.

For attracting attention-Using bold and unusual headlines-Salary and location clearly displayed

-Using full or part colour-Selecting the best location for the advertisement

-Displaying of a high profile corporate image

Employment Agencies and Search Firms

Working with employment agencies is meant to save you time. But if you are not prepared to tell the recruiting agency what you want from its service, you could end up with the wrong type of employee.

UNIVERSITY RECRUITINGAt the university level, the recruitment of

students is a significant source for entry-level professional and technical employees.

In college recruiting, the organization send an employee, usually called a recruiter, to a campus to interview candiadetes and describe the organization to them.

Recruiters generaly distribute brochures and ather literature about the organization

College recruting can be extremely difficult, time-consuming and expensive for the organization.

But many recruiters generally believe that college recruiting is one of the most effective ways of identifying talented employees.

According to recruiters, personality, oral and written communication skills and appereance are more important than grade point avarage (GPA).

However, for many employers, a high GPA is a major criterion when considering candidates for jobs during on-campus interviews.

Many agencies specialize in certain industries or specialize in specific types of hiring, such as temporary and contract hiring. Some employment agencies can also handle payroll for the employees they hire to you. Knowing what you need before you hire an agency will help you narrow your choices.

Since employment agencies are all different, choosing an agency is similar to hiring an employee. -Check out all an agency's credentials, get references and make sure it can provide you with the following:

1. An employee that fits the job description you provide.2. A choice of hiring options, such as temporary or contracted employees.3. The option to keep the agency on retainer for future hires.

Some employemnt agencies focus their efforts on executive, managerial and professional positions. These executive search firms are split into two groups:

1. contingency firms that charge a fee only after a candidate has been hired by a client company

2. retainer firms that charge a client a set fee whether or not the contracted search is successful. (most of the larger firms work on a retainer basis. )

The fees charged by executive search firms may be 30% or more of the employee’s first year salary.

Most employers pay the fees, but in some circumstances the employees pay the fees.

This kind of firms is called “HEAD HUNTERS” because of high fees they demand from their clients.

RECRUITING EVALUATIONIn order to determine how effective various

recruiting sources and methods have been, it is important to evaluate recruiting efforts.

1. Evaluating Recruiting Costs and BenefitsWhen doing a cost –benefit analysis to evaluate

recruiting efforts, cost may include both direct costs (advertising, recruiter’s salaries, travel, telephone etc.)

Cost- benefit information on each recruiting source can be calculated.

2. Evaluating Time Required to Fill OpeningsThe length of time it takes to fill openings is one of the most common means of evaluating recruiting efforts. If openings are not filled quickly with qualified candidates, teh work and productivity of the organization likely suffer.

3. Evaluating Recruiting Quantity and QualityCertain measures of recruiting effectiveness

are quite useful in indicating whether sufficient numbers of the targeted applicant population group are being attracted.

-information on job performance-absenteeism-cost of training-turnover by recruiting-quantity of applicants-quality of applicants

YIELD RATIOSOne means for evaluating recruiting efforts is

to determine YIELD RATIOS which compare the number of applicants at one stage of the recruiting process to the number at another stage.

It is useful to visualize the yield ratios as a pyramid, whereby the employer starts with a broad base of applicants that progressively narrows.

Recruiting Evaluation Pyramid

Offerss/Hires

(Yield ratio:50%) Final Interview/Offers (Yield ratio= 66%)

Initial Contacts/ Selection rate= 5

Final Interview (Yield ratio=15%)

Total Applicants= 100

Applicants Remaining= 30

Final Interviews= 15

Offers= 10

Hired= 5

Another aspect of recruiting that can be evaluted is what is referred to as the quality of hire.

This measure can provide management with an asessment of the quality of new emploees being recruited and hired.

Quality of Hired = PR+HP+HR N

QH= quality of recruits hiredPR= avarage job performance ratings of new

hireesHP= percent of new hirees promoted within

one year (such as 35 percent)HR= percent of hirees retained after one year N= number of indicators used

QH= (80+35++85) / 3 = 200 / 3 = 66.6%

Performance ratings and promotion rates are all beyond the control of a recruiter . Nevertheless, the quality –of-hire measure can provide some insight into the recruiter’s ability to attract employees.
