Popular recruitment techniques
Hiring great employees requires a great recruitment strategy
Recruitment techniques are always evolving, and the Internet has significantly changed the landscape in recent years.
Around two thirds of USA companies are using ‘new media’ to attract candidates (CIPD 2015), but traditional methods are still viable — and a mix of the two may is favoured by many. Here’s a round-up of the most popular employee recruitment techniques.
Recruiting internally
There are many great reasons to recruit internally. Firstly, it can work out cheaper than advertising externally or using agencies — you can just run an ad for free on your company intranet or message board.
Secondly, having a policy of regular internal recruitment creates a strong progression path for your employees. That’s great for staff morale, motivation and retention. And when you do hire externally, you can promise excellent progression opportunities.
And thirdly, internal recruitment is useful for succession planning. Your present leaders aren’t going to be around forever, so it’s a good idea to develop current staff as their successors.
Advertising externally
External advertising is the biggie. There are lots of options, with new methods emerging often. And every company needs to advertise externally sometimes — especially when you’re growing.
