Editor's Notes
Recruitment is critical to every organization. Firm, therefore, must strive to attract the best people to work for them. An organization that fails to attract the best people will surely fail to meet its corporate objectives.
Objective: to provide a group of qualified candidates so that satisfactory candidates can be selected.
Effecgive recruiting focuses a discovering talent before it is needed.
To be effective, recruiters should:
Labor market – competitor’s security efforts
Recruiting sources – know the industry and where to recruit qualified employees; cultivate relationship with sources of prospective employees
Recruiting Responsibilities – promote the “company brands” so that the employer is known as a good place to work; use recruiting metrics in order to measure the effective need of recruiting efforts
Take a broad view of the labor market and then narrow them down to specific recruiting sources.
Labor force population – broadest component; all individuals who are available for selection if all possible recruitment strategies are used.
Applicant population – a subset of the labor force population that is available for selection using a particular security approach.
Consideration for determining applicant population
Number – type of recruits needed
Timing of recruiting to ensure timely placement
External and internal messages on job details
Qualifications of competent applicants to be considered
Sources for obtaining qualified applicants
Outside & inside recruiting means to be used
Administrative recruiting and application review activities
3. Applicant pool – all persons who are actually evaluated for selection
factors that can affect size of applicant pool
1. reputation of the organization & industry as a place to work
2. screening effort of the organization
3. Job specification
4. information available
Whether recruits are plentiful or scarce, employers must decide on several recruiting issues.
Presence – recruiting effort may be :
Continuous – present all the time
Intensive – vigorous recruiting campaign aimed at hiring given number of employees within a short period of time
Branding or image – the view of the organization held by both employees and outside; desirable organization are better able to attract qualified applicants than those with poor reputation.
Organization based VS outsource recruiting – organization based – time consuming process
Outsourcing – way to decrease the number of staff needed for security and free some of thier responsibilities
Regular VS Flexible staffing
- decisions as to which should be hired, regular VS temporary employees; considers:
1. cost of keeping regular workforce
2. government regulation
Some employers hire temporary workers as “try before you buy” approach
Advertising – most popular; can reach a wide audience in a short period of time; radio, TV, magazines
Employment agencies – organization that assists job applicants in looking for suitable employers
Campus recruiting – school campus with graduating student as targets
Executive search firm – firm that specialize in the recruitment of executives
Professional organization – positions that are hard to find professionals; ex. Real estate brokers, highly specialized medical professionals
Walk in applicants – jobseekers casually enter offices to inquire on the availability of job
Electronic recruitment - internet

Recruiting quantity and quality – the basic measure considers whether or not the quantity or qualifications of recruits is sufficient to fill job vacancies.
Recruitment satisfaction analysis – both the managers and applicants’ view are considered. Managers can respond to questions about the quality of the applicant pool, the recruiter’s service, the timeliness of the process and any problems that they see. Applicants might provide input on how they were treated, their perceptions of the company and the length of the recruiting process and other aspects.
Time to fill – if openings are not filled quickly with qualified candidates, the work and productivity of the organization are likely to suffer.
Cost of recruiting – include costs of employment agencies, advertising, internal sources, external means and others.
Recruiting expenses
Number of recruits hired
5. General recruiting process metrics
Yield ratio – comparison of the number of applicants at one stage of the recruiting process with the number at the next stage.
Selection rate - percentage hired from a given group of candidates.
number hired
number of applicants
Acceptance rate – helps identify how successful the organization is at hiring candidates; percent of applicants hired divided by the total number of applicants offered jobs
Success base rate – can be determined by comparing the number of past applicants who have become successful employees against the number of applicants they competed against for their job. This rate indicates whether the quality of the employees hired results in employees who perform well and have low turnover.
Effective recruiting leads to selecting individuals for employment who will enhance organizational success.
