Definition: Recruitment

  • According to Edwin Flippo, "Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organisation".
  • In the words of Dale Yoder, “Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force".
CISCE: Class 12

Key Points: Concept of Recruitment

  • Recruitment is a key function of Human Resource Management.
  • It involves finding and attracting suitable candidates for jobs.
  • The main aim is to create a pool of eligible applicants.
  • Recruitment is a continuous and positive process.
  • It acts as a link between employers and job seekers.
  • Recruitment is a two-way process, giving choice to both parties.
  • It is a complex and organisation-wide function influenced by many factors.
CISCE: Class 12

Key Points: Sources of Recruitment> Internal Sources

  • Internal sources of recruitment refer to filling vacancies from people who are already working or have worked in the organisation.
  • Main internal sources include promotion, transfer, re-employment of ex-employees, and employee recommendations.
  • Internal recruitment helps to motivate employees, improve morale, and reduce labour turnover.
  • It is a cheaper and quicker method because candidates are already known and need little training.
  • However, internal recruitment may limit fresh talent and new ideas and cannot fill all vacancies.
CISCE: Class 12

Key Points: Sources of Recruitment> External Sources

  • External sources of recruitment mean hiring employees from outside the organisation.
  • Common external sources include advertisements, campus recruitment, employment exchanges, and placement agencies.
  • External recruitment provides a large pool of candidates with different skills and qualifications.
  • It brings new ideas, fresh talent, and specialised skills into the organisation.
  • External sources are useful when vacancies cannot be filled internally or for new enterprises.
  • However, external recruitment is time-consuming and costly due to advertisements, tests, and interviews.
  • It may cause dissatisfaction among existing employees and requires proper orientation of new staff.
CISCE: Class 12

Difference Between Internal and External Recruitment

Basis of Comparison Internal Sources External Sources
Meaning Recruitment from within the organisation Recruitment from outside the organisation
Types Promotion, Transfer, Ex-employees, Employee recommendations Advertisements, Campus recruitment, Employment exchanges, Placement agencies
Advantages Economical, less time-consuming, motivates employees Wide choice, fresh talent, healthy competition
Limitations Limited choice, lack of new ideas Costly, time-consuming, and causes staff dissatisfaction
CISCE: Class 12

Key Points: E-Recruitment

  • E-recruitment means recruiting employees through electronic and online methods such as the Internet and Intranet.
  • It helps organisations reach a large pool of candidates quickly and at a lower cost.
  • E-recruitment makes the recruitment process faster, efficient, and economical.
  • It helps in selecting candidates with the required skills and qualifications using online screening.
  • However, both employers and job seekers must have internet access and technical knowledge.
  • E-recruitment lacks personal interaction and involves high initial investment in websites and portals.
  • Internet and Intranet recruitment are useful but cannot be fully relied upon and have security and accessibility issues.
