When the qualified and experienced employees are not obtained from other sources, advertisement method is used to attract the best qualified and experienced personnel. Usually, most of senior positions in an organization are filled using this method. The job description and specifications are specified in the advertisement and provide self-screening.
Staffing agencies run by private or public companies are an important source of recruitment for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled jobs. The agencies are likely to have a list of qualified candidates in their records, and they provide their service as per the requirement from other organizations for employment. There are many advantages of using a staffing agency, they will provide Landslide Limousine with a quick start-up staff and can feel out the employee before making him/ her a permanent employee. Downside includes paying a premium price to staffing agency. Schools are another method of external recruitment, educational institutions such as schools, colleges and universities offer opportunities for recruiting fresh candidates. Most educational institutions provide placement services where the prospective recruiters can review credentials and interview the interested graduates. I would advise using this method for the administrative department. It will ensure that you will be
The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I
Internal advertisement is one method to be used, where companies announce/advertise its job vacancies to its existing employees, which may represent promotions. Sainsbury’s usually places internal advertisement to select supervisor and internal staff transaction; they put advertisement at company’s notice board or make announcements at meetings cross stores within the region. It will be easier for company to select suitable candidates because existing employees has more knowledge and cost less for the company.

Once the analysis and job description for a job is complete, the next step would be to identify recruiting method to use in selecting candidates. Since recruiting is the first stage in the hiring process, it is important to attract qualified people who have the skills and experience the job demands. To do this, I will suggest that recruitment be done through job fairs and advertising.
The recruitment and selection process have different stage that all have to be to follow, to select the right candidates for the job vacancies.
In this paper we will round out and finish up our services for Landslide Limousine Company by touching on diversity, recruitment, training, interviewing, testing, selection, branding and forecasting while addressing organizational goals and an analysis of projected workforce needs.

Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment. They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs).
Position advertisement can be posted internal and external way. Internal means that if staffs currently work in the hotel and they are interested on the vacant position, then they can apply directly through the HR department. Human Resources and Employment shows that an internal recruitment can enhance the relations between the hotel and employee, also reduce the
If internal recruitment is not an option / has been unsuccessful, companies will the need to advertise to a wider audience. An employer will need to decide which method of recruitment is most suitable for the role and organisation. Common recruitment methods include advertising on the company’s own corporate website, using internet based jobsites, recruitment agencies, local or national press, job centre plus or employee referral schemes. The CIPD resourcing and talent planning survey (2013) lists the top 5 methods of recruitment as,
Recruitment and selection process held an important role for building a strong sales force performance. This process requires the company to invest through human capital as an important resource. The objective of this process is searching for qualified candidates to fulfil the right positions and hopes that they can make long-run returns for the company. Even though there is no right or wrong way how the company chooses the right candidates for certain positions, every single step in recruiting and selecting candidates should be taken carefully in order to get the right person in the right position.
Successful candidates for the position of HR Administrative Assistant must exhibit the following competencies (as stated in the job description):
“Harrison Corporation, a U.S.-based corporation with business units in Europe and South America, has recently decided to create a business unit focusing on expansion into Central America.

This unit primarily focuses on marketing and delivery of products to two groups of customers: corporate customers, retail, and consumers.
In addition, the employment process requires effective communication in terms of the messages to post via advertisements. This is because potential candidates will be attracted by the content of the messages displayed through the adverts. In light of the current technological advancements such as the Internet and social networks, human resource managers would want to utilize such channels to reach many potential candidates across the globe (Lugonja, 2011: 2). This calls for flexibility and willingness to invest in technology where adequate efforts have not been made. However, a multidimensional approach would work better since not all people can access the Internet. In a nutshell, the process of selection and recruitment involves looking for and motivating prospective employees to apply for available job posts. Being a negative process, selection entails scrutinizing the qualifications of candidates that have applied in order to choose only the best applicants for various jobs (Sharma, Khurana, & Khurana, 2009: 17).
One of the most critical challenges facing public administration is the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. While the problem of attracting talent into public service is not new, the introduction and rapid expansion of the high technology and Internet industry, the problem has reached crisis proportions. Both the public and private sector have embraced the Information Age with increasing dependence on a skilled and versatile workforce. Private industry responded by developing greater versatility in expanding and contracting their workforce to compliment the strategic requirements and goals of the organization. Public administration did not adequately
The recruitment and selection process refers to where organisations use various methods in order to generate a pool of candidates that are suited to the job at hand and align with the organisations goals. With technology being used and relied on by many in the business world, it is important that organisations stay relevant by implementing both web-based applications methods and scientific tests to attract the best possible people for the job. These both have their benefits and negatives when used in the recruitment and selection process, but with some modifications, they would further aid organisations to attract the best possible employees to fit into the job.
