Recruitment is the process of identifying that the organization needs to employ someone up to the point at which
application forms for the post have arrived at the organization. Selection then consists of the processes involved in
choosing from applicants a suitable candidate to fill a post. Training consists of a range of processes involved in
making sure that job holders have the right skills, knowledge and attitudes required to help the organization to
achieve its objectives. Recruiting individuals to fill particular posts within a business can be done either internally by
recruitment within the firm, or externally by recruiting people from outside.

External recruitment

External recruitment makes it possible to draw upon a wider range of talent and provides the opportunity to bring
new experiences and ideas into the business. Disadvantages are that it is more costly and the company may end up
with someone who proves to be less effective in practice than they did on paper and in the interview situation.

Induction and training

New workers in a firm are usually given an induction program in which they meet other workers and are shown the
skills they must learn. Generally, the first few days at work will simply involve observation, with an experienced
worker showing the ‘new hand’ the ropes. Many large firms will have a detailed training scheme, which is done on
an ‘in-house’ basis. This is particularly true of larger public companies such as banks and insurance companies. In
conjunction with this, staff may be encouraged to attend college courses to learn new skills and get new
qualifications. Training thus takes place in the following ways:

1. On the job – ___________________________________________________________________________________
