Chapter 6

Recruiting

Fundamentals of Human

Resource Management

Introduction

  • Recruiting
  • Once an organization identifies its

human resource needs through

employment planning, it can begin the

process of recruiting potential

candidates for actual or anticipated

organizational vacancies.

Recruiting Goals

  • To provide information that will attract a

significant pool of qualified candidates

and discourage unqualified ones from

applying.

Recruiting Goals

  • Factors that affect recruiting efforts
    • Organizational size
    • Employment conditions in the area
    • Working conditions, salary and benefits offered
    • Organizational growth or decline

Recruiting: A Global

Perspective

  • For some positions, the whole world is a

relevant labor market.

  • Home-country nationals are recruited

when an organization is searching for

someone with extensive company

experience to launch a very technical

product in a country where it has never

sold before.

Recruiting: A Global

Perspective

  • Host-country nationals (HCNs) are

targeted as recruits when companies

want each foreign subsidiary to have its

own distinct national identity.

  • In some countries, laws control how

many expatriates a corporation can

send.

  • HCN’s minimize potential problems with

language, family adjustment and hostile

political environments.

Recruiting Sources

  • Sources should match the position to be filled.
  • The Internet is providing many new opportunities to recruit and causing companies to revisit past recruiting practices.
  • Sources :
    • Internal Searches
    • Employee Referrals/ Recommendations
    • External Searches
    • Alternatives

Recruiting Sources

The internal search

  • Organizations that promote

from within identify current

employees for job openings:

  • by having individuals bid for jobs
  • by using their HR management system
  • by utilizing employee referrals

Recruiting Sources

The internal search

  • Disadvantages include:
    • possible inferiority of internal candidates
    • infighting and morale problems
    • potential inbreeding

Recruiting Sources

Employee referrals/recommendations

  • Current employees can be asked to

recommend recruits.

  • Advantages include:
    • the employee’s motivation to make a good recommendation
    • the availability of accurate job information for the recruit
    • Employee referrals tend to be more acceptable applicants, to be more likely to accept an offer and to have a higher survival rate.

Recruiting Sources

External searches

  • Advertisements : Must decide type and location of ad, depending on job; decide whether to focus on job ( job description ) or on applicant ( job specification ).
  • Three factors influence the response rate:
    • identification of the organization
    • labor market conditions
    • the degree to which specific requirements are listed.
  • Blind box ads don’t identify the organization.

Recruiting Sources

External searches

  • Employment agencies:
    • Public or state employment services focus on helping unemployed individuals with lower skill levels to find jobs.
    • Private employment agencies provide more comprehensive services and are perceived to offer positions and applicants of a higher caliber. - Fees may be paid by employer, employee or both.

Recruiting Sources

External searches

  • Schools, colleges, and

universities:

  • May provide entry-level or experienced workers through their placement services.
  • May also help companies establish cooperative education assignments and internships.

Recruiting Sources

External searches

  • Professional organizations:
    • Publish rosters of vacancies
    • Placement services at meetings
    • Control the supply of prospective applicants
  • Professional organizations also include

labor unions.
