Recruitment
Recruitment is the process of
identifying that the business
needs to employ someone up to
the point at which applications
have arrived at the business.
Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment is when the business identifies that they need to employ someone up till the
point where applications have been received by the business.
The process of selection and recruitment start when a business has just started, when a
business wants to expand or when a former employee has left the business. First a business
must decide whether the spot left by the employee that has left needs to be filled or not.
The recruitment process also gives the business a chance to reassess the nature of people’s
jobs and consider future requirements. In larger business organisations the recruitment
process is undertaken by the Human resource department. On the other hand small
businesses do not have enough employees to have a human resource department so the
manager overlooking the employees will take the responsibility of recruiting members.
The more important the jobs is to the business the longer it will take for the employment
process as they will look at it more thoroughly.

advantages of Internal Recruitment

- It is quicker and cheaper than external recruitment, which may involve expensive advertising.

- The person is already known to the business and their reliability, ability and potential are
known.

- The person also knows how the organisation works, its structure and what is expected from its
employees.

- It can be very motivating for employees to see their fellow workers being promoted - it makes
them work harder if they consider that promotion is possible for them too.
Disadvantages of Internal Recruitment

- No new ideas of experience come into the business. Other companies may have different way of
working and these ways may be better in some respects, including making the business more efficient.
Internal recruitment does not allow for these working practices to be brought into the business and
this is a major limitation when the industry is changing rapidly.

- The quality of internal candidates might be low.

- There may be rivalry among existing employees and jealousy towards the worker who gains promotion.
