    Recruitment: The Process of Attracting, Selecting, and Appointing Candidates

    • Recruitment is the process of identifying, sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and interviewing candidates for permanent or temporary jobs within an organization.
    • Recruitment may involve internal and/or external recruitment advertising, using appropriate media such as job portals, local or national newspapers, social media, business media, specialist recruitment media, professional publications, job centers, career fairs, or in a variety of ways via the internet.
    • Employers may use recruitment consultancies or agencies to find otherwise scarce candidates. This initial research for candidates—also called name generation—produces contact information for potential candidates, whom the recruiter can then discreetly contact and screen.
    • Referral recruitment programs allow both outsiders and employees to refer candidates for filling job openings. Online, they can be implemented by leveraging social networks.
    • Various psychological tests can assess a variety of competencies, skills, and abilities, including literacy and physical ability. In many countries, employers are legally mandated to ensure their screening and selection processes meet equal opportunity and ethical standards.
    • Employers are likely to recognize the value of candidates who encompass soft skills, such as interpersonal or team leadership, and the level of drive needed to stay engaged.
    • Internal recruitment or internal mobility refers to the process of a candidate being selected from the existing workforce to take up a new job in the same organization. Many companies will choose to recruit or promote employees internally.
    • Searching for candidates externally is another option when it comes to recruitment. In this case, employers or hiring committees will search outside of their own company for potential job candidates.
    • Social recruiting is the use of social media for recruiting. As more and more people are using the internet, social networking sites, or SNS, have become an increasingly popular tool used by companies to recruit and attract applicants.
    • Mobile recruiting is a recruitment strategy that uses mobile technology to attract, engage, and convert candidates.
    • There are numerous professional associations for human resources professionals. Such associations typically offer benefits such as member directories, publications, discussion groups, awards, local chapters, vendor relations, government lobbying, and job boards.
    • Recruitment ethics is an area of business that is prone to many other unethical and corrupt practices. According to Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC), business ethics are a vital component to recruitment.
