RECRUITMENT PROCESS AND ITS SOURCE
Answer Posted / deepthi
Meaning of Recruitment :
Recruitment is an important part of an organization’s human
resource planning and their competitive strength. Competent
human resources at the right positions in the organisation
are a vital resource and can be a core competency or a
strategic advantage for it.
The objective of the recruitment process is to obtain the
number and quality of employees that can be selected in
order to help the organisation to achieve its goals and
objectives. With the same objective, recruitment helps to
create a pool of prospective employees for the organisation
so that the management can select the right candidate for
the right job from this pool.
Recruitment acts as a link between the employers and the
job seekers and ensures the placement of right candidate at
the right place at the right time. Using and following the
right recruitment processes can facilitate the selection of
the best candidates for the organisation.
Sources of Recruitment:
Every organisation has the option of choosing the
candidates for its recruitment processes from two kinds of
sources: internal and external sources. The sources within
the organisation itself (like transfer of employees from
one department to other, promotions) to fill a position are
known as the internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment
candidates from all the other sources (like outsourcing
agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of
recruitment.
