External Factors

Supply and demand :- If the demand for a particular skill is high relative
to the supply, an extraordinary recruiting effort may be needed.

Unemployment rate :- When the unemployment rate in a given area is

high, the company’s recruitment process may be simpler.

Labour market :- Labour market conditions in a local area are of primary

importance in recruiting for most non-managerial, supervisory and middle
management positions.
 Political-social considerations :- Reservation of jobs for SCs, STs,

minorities, and other backward classes is a political decision.

Sons & Soil :- Political leaders clamour that preference must be given to

the people of their respective states in matters of employment.

Image :- The company’s image also matters in attracting large number of

job seekers, Normally blue chip companies attract large number of

applications.
 INTERNAL FACTORS

Recruitment Policy :- Generally the policy is to prefer internal

sourcing, as own employees know the company well and can
recommend candidates who fit the organization culture.

HRP :- proper planning for effective utilization of human resources

is very much essential.

Size of the firm :- Size is another internal factor having its influence on
the recruitment process.
