Types of recruitments

Types of recruitments

There are 2 types of recruitment, which would be internal recruitment and external recruitment. Internal recruitment is when a company decides to fill a gap in the workforce by using an employee who would be already working in the organization, internal recruitment would happen through the promotion of an already existing employee, transfers of an employee from departments or branches within the organization, Confirmation of an employee who is working in the organization as part-time or holding a temporary position. The benefits of doing an internal recruitment would be that the employee will already know in and out about the organization and will have a clear understanding of the workforce and the culture inside the organization, The time and expenditure spent for the recruitment will be lesser and lesser time consumed in employee training. Drawbacks would be a lesser chance of getting new and innovative ideas into the business, The organization will have a limited pool of candidates to select the best fit for the job and internal recruitment will create gaps in the workforce, as existing employees move to a different job role the current job role will need to be filled. (Borrington & Stimpson, 2006)

 

External recruitment is when a company decides to hire an employee outside the organization. The methods of external recruitment would be promoting job advertisements through newspapers, websites, and notice boards. Getting applications through recruitment agencies also known as headhunting, and Finding applicants through social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. The benefits of external recruitment would be, the company will gain fresh new skills and knowledge, a higher pool of candidates to select from, awareness of the company and the market from a new point of view, and insights into the competitors as well. The drawback of external recruitment would be the high cost and time consumption of the recruitment process, the risk of turnover is high and more time is consumed in training, cannot do immediate recruitment as certain employees will have to give notice period for the existing company. (Hogarty, 2022)

The company for which I work follows both recruitment methods, for the management position Superior Solutions follow the internal recruitment method, since Superior Solutions is a service export to the U.S market they build having a good understanding of the U.S market is important and the existing employees at superior Solutions do go through training programs very 3months period.

    Very interesting content. The selection of right candidates for the right positions will help the organization to achieve its desired goals and objectives. When selection of the employees takes place, it is vital to ensure that they possess the desired qualifications, skills and abilities that are required to perform the job duties in a well-organized manner (Dr. Radhika Kapur, 2016).

Motivation  (Borrington & Stimpson, 2013) the reason why employees want to work hard and work effectively for a business is because of motivation. A person must be internally motivated, whether we refer to it as a need or a drive, motivation is a state of being inside of us that yearns for a change, either in the environment or in the self. When we draw from this source of power, motivation gives us the drive and direction we need to interact with the environment in a way that is adaptable, open-ended, and problem-solving.  (Reeve, 2015) Types of motivation  There are two types of motivation intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. An example of intrinsic motivation is when someone is motivated solely by the satisfaction of solving a task (Job satisfaction). Extrinsic motivation comes from sources other than the individual and frequently entails material benefits like medals, cash, accolades, or social recognition.  (Cherry, 2022) The outcome of a...

According to this model, Abraham Maslow claimed that money alone will not inspire employees. Maslow also proposed that each level of the hierarchy must be attained before an employee can be motivated by the next level in order for them to be motivated, once a physiological need of an employee is fulfilled that employee will no longer be motivated by physiological needs but would look for better such as job security.  (Borrington & Stimpson, 2013) (Borrington & Stimpson, 2013) Five stages of  Maslow's hierarchy of needs  physiological needs : These are basic needs of a human such as food, rest, and shelter.   The human body cannot function at its best if these requirements are not met. Maslow regarded physiological needs as being more sig...

The goal of training in many crafts and guilds was to prepare enslaved apprentices to work for a number of years under the guidance of the master craftsperson. After some time, the apprentices pick up the abilities necessary for that job and create a sophisticated "Masterpiece" that incorporates a lot of what they have learned.
