Study Notes
Methods of Recruitment
- Referring employees become stakeholders, and referral is a cost-effective recruitment program that can speed up diversifying the workforce.
External Sources
- Advertising: select the best medium based on the position being recruited for, e.g. newspapers, trade and professional journals, and internet job sites.
- Constructing an effective advertisement: use wordings that evoke the applicant's attention, interest, desire, and action (AIDA) and create a positive impression about the firm.
Recruiting via the Internet
- Advantages: cost-effective, attracts more applicants over a longer period, immediate responses, online prescreening, and automation of applicant tracking and evaluation.
- Disadvantages: more unqualified applicants, additional work for HR staff, and limited access to some applicants.
Evaluating Recruitment Effort
- Indices used to evaluate effectiveness: number of recruits, number of recruits within a particular duration, cost per recruit, ratio of qualified recruits to unqualified recruits, and job performance and tenure of recruits by method.
Internal Sources
- Advantages: prior knowledge of candidates' strengths and weaknesses, more accurate view of candidate's skills, stronger commitment to the company, increases employee morale, and less training and orientation required.
- Disadvantages: failed applicants may become discontented, lack of new blood, and higher cost related to training a professional.
External Sources
- Advantages: new "blood" brings new perspectives, cheaper and faster than training internal employees, possible to obtain executives and specialists, and high possibility to select the most appropriate person for the job.
- Disadvantages: may not select someone who will "fit" the job or organization, may cause morale problems, may affect labor-management relations unfavorably, longer adjustment or orientation time, and likely employee turnover occurs.
Employee Referrals
- Referrals by current employees can be an effective recruitment method.
Human Resource Management (HRM) Functions
- HR Planning: determining the needed type and number of employees.
- Job Analysis: providing job description and job specification.
- Reward Management: deciding competitive salaries, wages, incentives, and benefits to attract job applicants.
- Selection: determining the most appropriate person to fill the job vacancy.
