The recruitment process involves planning job vacancies, analyzing jobs, sourcing applicants, evaluating candidates, and controlling costs. Common recruitment sources are present/former employees, agencies, advertisements, campus recruiting, and social media. Metrics like yield ratios help evaluate recruitment effectiveness.
