This document is going to be showing how two different organisations use internal and external sources to plan recruitment whilst keeping on target with their selected objectives. The two organisations chosen are Alton Towers and The Howard School. The two different types of recruitment are internal and external. Internal recruitment meaning using the resources around them and recruiting from within the organisation, external meaning using other recruitment procedures outside the organisation such as through the internet.
