Components of Staffing:

Recruitment and Selection

 RECRUITMENT

Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates

for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in
the organization.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
 INTERNAL SOURCES

Transfer: Transfer means shifting an employee from one job to

another, typically of similar nature, without any change in his rank and
responsibility.

Promotion:  Promotion is an upward movement of employee from

current job position to a hierarchically higher job position with increase
pay and responsibilities.

Employee Referrals: The present employees can refer their friends

and family to the job. They are well aware of the organizational culture,
working conditions and job requirements. If they find their friends or
family suitable for such position can recommend their names to the
management for recruitment.
 INTERNAL SOURCES

Former Employees: Retired or retrenched employees may be interested

to come back to the company to work on a part-time basis. This source has
the advantage of hiring people whose performance is already known to the
organization.

 Previous Applicants: This is considered as internal source in the sense

that applications from the potential candidates are already lying with the
organization. Sometimes, the organizations contact through mail or
messenger these applicants to fill up the vacancies particularly for unskilled
or semi- skilled jobs.
 EXTERNAL SOURCES

Employment Exchange: An employment exchange is an office set up by

the government for bringing together as quickly as possible those men
who are in search of employment and those employers who are looking
for men. Employment exchanges register unemployed people and
maintain the records of their names, qualifications, etc.

Advertisement: The advertisement is the most common and preferred

source of external recruiting. The ads in newspapers, professional
journals, give a comprehensive detail about the organization, type, and
nature of job position, skills required, qualification and experience
expected
 EXTERNAL SOURCES

Casual Callers: The casual callers, also called as unsolicited applications

are the job seekers who come to the well-renowned organizations casually
call and either mail or drop in their job applications seeking the job
opportunity.

Labor Contractors: This is the most common form of external

recruitment wherein the labor contractors who are either employed with the
firm or have an agreement to supply workers to the firm for the completion
of a specific type of a task. This method is again used for hiring the
unskilled and semi-skilled workers.
 SELECTION
Selection refers to choosing the most suitable candidate to fill the
vacant job position. The selection is done through a process, which
involves test, interviews, etc.
