...Develop three (3) recruitment methods for the job opportunity in question, and suggest two (2) ways that each method helps one to avoid discriminatory practices. Justify your response. Three different recruitment methods that will be utilized for this job opening are internet job postings, campus recruitment, and job fairs. The human resources (HR) department will post the job announcement on various websites in order to capture the broadest audience to eliminate discrimination in the recruiting process. Another way HR aims to prevent discrimination while using internet job postings is to post only on websites that offer free membership to everyone and do not charge fees to access job postings. Campus recruitment will be open to current undergraduate and graduate level students and alumni as well. Campus recruiting will offer up a diverse talent pool, as recruiting will be done at a carefully selected group of schools known for diverse student bodies. By opening up the job to both levels of college degrees and including alumni as well, we are avoiding the appearance of attempting to discriminate against older candidates. Recruiting efforts will take place at job fairs that are open to the public and this will prevent targeting one particular race or ethnicity. The applicants will be invited to apply (with special focus on encouraging women and minorities).

...The most important element of a company besides revenue is the employees. In the early years a company recruited candidates for their organization by submitting a want ad in the newspaper. Today, companies have many recruiting methods to choose from such as internal and external recruitment. The evolution of technology also provides the company the option to post their job descriptions on their website for all job seekers to view. “Job seekers have more than 30,000 job search sites with literally millions of listings, as well as the ability to research employers and to network.” (Cascio, W.F., 2010) The top 500 U.S. companies such as Wal-mart recruit via the internet. Job search sites such as Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com display those job positions available for Walmart for job seekers to apply. Job search engines such as these, however, are not only designed for job seekers but for companies as well. A company is able to review candidates’ profiles and resumes via these sites. If a candidate seems like a possible perfect match for their company, an email or telephone call is made to the candidate for an interview. Other methods of recruitment are employment agencies and college recruiting. Companies seek employment agencies to find candidates for their companies. An agency fee will vary from 10 percent of the employee’s starting salary and dependent of the position.

...Organizational Psychology Recruitment Methods When companies need to hire employees there are many methods that can be used. Before these methods are identified, recruitment method needs to be defined. Recruitment methods are the specific means by which potential employees are attracted to an organization. Internal and external are the two types of recruitment methods. Internal recruitment is done by promotions from within a company, nepotism, and employee referrals. External recruitment is done by job advertisements, employment and recruitment agencies, social media, and government job centers. Moving ahead I will go more in depth on each method throughout the paper. What exactly is internal recruitment? It is the assessment of an employer’s current staff to ascertain if any current employees are sufficiently skilled or qualified to perform the duties required by the job vacancies. The fastest recruitment method overall is promoting from within a company. By promoting from within, companies don’t spend any time and effort posting vacant job positions. The hiring process moves along much faster since they have most, if not all, of the information they need about the persons who are qualified for the vacant position. Examples of promotion from within are sales person becoming a supervisor, store manager becoming a district manager, or computer tech becoming a network administrator. Next there is nepotism. Nepotism is favoritism in politics or business granted to relatives...

...Now that we have covered general ideas behind recruitment and selection (henceforth labeled as "R&S") , I would like to go deeper into the subject by presenting the different methods of R&S and their respective weaknesses and strengths. I would like first to point out that although recruitment and selection are often interchangeable there is clear distinction. According to scribd.com, "recruitment technically precedes selection. Recruitment involves identifying the sources of manpower and stimulating them to apply to jobs in the organizations. On the other hand, selection is the process of choosing the best out of those recruited." Now that we have that out of way let start by the recruitment methods first. Recruitment comes under two major categories (tutor2u.net), Internal (cheaper and faster) and External (flexible with more options) recruitment. The next methods are taken from humanresources.hrvinet.com • Recruitment by the campus method. This is usually used to bolster the lower positions of the organization, and at the same time invest in future employees. This method is cheap, time efficient and usually has many candidates. Drawbacks of this method is that the people that are being acquired usually has close to zero work experience. • Internal recruitment, career development. What makes this method valuable is that the organization can gear and steer the employee towards the very specialized need the organization requires. He will take the position with full knowledge...
