Recruitment Methods:
Some recruiting processes offer many advantages as well as disadvantages.
One internal and two external ways that I could recruit for this role are through an internal employee Job board (hiring within the company), Internet (Job boards) and a newspaper advertisement. The internet recruiting methods are the most common method used today, and the many advantages consist of lower costs, time saving, they can also provide more information about the applicant. Advertising has the benefit of accomplishing a greater audience of potential applicants.
Advertisement unlike the internet is known to be time-consuming and requires creating a design and message that are well written. Also, many unqualified candidates are attracted to jobs through advertisement, placing a burden on business.
Recruiting from inside through message board s can encourage current employees. The employee knows first hand through past and current performance if they are qualified for the position. I believe that conflict could arise between employees based on not being selected for positions which they feel are qualified for.
In conclusion the best way to fill a position would be the Internet (job board) to find the type of candidate that I would want to recruit, thus selecting the method that would attract the most candidates. (Recruitment methods – CIPD website - Recruitment methods factsheet – (Cited 23/02/2012)
