...Methods of recruitment and selection and its impact on corporate culture and processes. Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them; they are not just lying around on the surface. -Ken Robinson “…while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stand the test of time… is people.” -Mark Salsbury, Human Capital Management: Leveraging your Workforce for competitive advantage. Creating and sustaining a corporate culture that truly emphasizes people starts with hiring a particular kind of person. Locating, attracting, and hiring people that thrive within an organization is always a challenge, regardless of size of the company, industry, or state of the economy. “Having right people at right time at right place” is the key to the success of every organization. Therefore, recruitment and selection is considered to be the central function of Human Resources Management. Today more than ever, organizations, given the latest technology and physical assets, cannot compete without having its qualified, rare, and unique talent supply. Acquiring and optimizing a talented workforce is a strategic process that begins with planning and continues throughout the recruitment process. “Recruitment is a process of identifying and attracting a group of potential candidates from within and outside the organization to evaluate for employment.” It entails...

...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).

...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...
