Solution
Merits of external sources:
- Qualified personnel: By using external sources of recruitment, the management can attract qualified and trained people to apply for vacant jobs in the organization.
- Wider choice: When vacancies are advertised wisely, a large number of applicants from outside the organization can apply. The management has a wider choice while selecting the people for employment.
- Fresh Talent: The present employees may be insufficient or they may not fulfill the specifications of the jobs to be filled. External recruitment provides wider choice and brings new blood in the organization.
- Competitive spirit: If a company taps external sources, the existing sources, the existing staff will have to compete with the outsiders. They will work harder to show better performance.
