2.0 Recruitment Strategies

The main task of selecting the correct person is quite difficult, as the job market
increases, the number of dropout increase more people looking for job we have to be very
selective in making a decision, or else poor choices would lead to long term loses and the
investment made over to make a recruitment will result with a great lose.

Recruitment is “the set of activities and processes used to legally obtain a sufficient
number of qualified people at the right place and time so that the people and the
organization can select each other in their own best short and long term interests”
( Schuler, Randall S.)
In other words it’s explained recruitment helps in an organization to find a suitable
person out of huge lot that matches with the required skill set in the required vacancy.
For this to be fulfilled properly a suitable recruitment strategy should be selected
depending on the vacancy.

Here we will look at the strategies followed as a whole.

 Newspaper advertisement

 Mass Mailing campaign

 University recruitment

Below will discuss the reason why it was choose and how to perform it

5
Professional Enterprise Development

2.1 Newspaper advertisement

Reason and justification for selection

The process of advertising over newspaper which would reach out a large number
of audience and also can be considered. It’s been a traditional media which had
been exits far long ago, but yet a great source for promotion because every single
house in Sri Lanka at least purchases it once a weak.

How to perform

This method is only been allocated for project manager and software engineers,
the main reason is selection of one per job and skill set required is quite which
acquire more industrial experience people to engage.

For this task to be performed the major newspaper companies are selected, The
campaign is carried out two days in a week day and a weekend as most of people
find time reading news papers in week days.

Campaign dates will not be a single date but of many dates, intension of reaching
a larger crowd.

6
Professional Enterprise Development

2.2 Mass mailing campaign

By using internet it’s a faster and cheaper option compared to others, Most of the
people have access to internet since it’s already an IT related vacancy, the
employee will have internet access, and using this method would be really
practical

As after a long time Sri Lanka has now evolved with mass mailing or also know
as newsletters, where bulk mail is sent to a list of subscribers who have registered
to receive the service.

This method also was selected for project manager and software engineer only.

How it is performed

First selection of service provider is done with regard to budget and number of
subscribers that they have. The design that has been used for the newspaper ad
will be used as for this media too.

Once a particular person receives the mail, he/she might not be interested but
there are a specific group who might be looking for a similar job, All they have to
do is simply reply to the email attaching a the CV and covering letter.

Compare to previous method there will be a high response rate because of the
ability of replying instantly.

7

2.3 University Recruitment

This approach is mainly used to get junior non experience people to increase work
force. Basically it would fulfill needs of the both side the company getting its
work force increase and the workers in return getting a good experience which
would help to build up their career.

We have selected this method to be used only when recruiting software engineer
and quality assurance engineer only, main reason is because of recruiting
university dropouts will help them to get a large pool of job applicants.

The main 2 advantage of the strategy is cost and convince.

How it is done

An employer is sent to university to prescreen applications and get a pool of


applicants. To get the maximum outcome of this method the job should be made
to stand out. As many students will be aware of what the career path would be for
the next five to ten years.

4.0 Recruitment strategy for each post

4.1 Project Manager

News Paper Advertising

This is a traditional method practice in many companies in order to fulfill any


employment need
As it is cost effective and reach many people this method has been quite popular. For the
employment of project manager we have selected this method. As the first step selecting
the two major newspaper media companies, the selected were Daily Mirror and Sunday
Observer.

The advertisement campaign is schedule for two different days for each newspaper, the
days were selected were mainly Sunday because of to get a larger audience.

Mass Mailing Campaign

Mass mailing has been quite popular in Sri Lanka with the increase of use of internet.
The main purpose of this campaign is for people who will not have time to read news
papers. It’s a basic alternative or a plan B. Firstly a large mass mailing service provider is
selected over budget and number of audience reached.

The selected service provider was srilanka-advertisement.com who has a subscriber list
of five hundred thousand active Sri-Lankan emails.

11
Professional Enterprise Development

Internet Advertisement campaign

When looked at internet advertisement there is a vast number of options the option we
selected was advertising at top job listing site which is frequently used by job hunters.
The best preference was topjobs.lk were even large companies like WSO2, DFCC bank
etc. This method is very cost effective compared to the two other

This section is basically filtering the CV received from candidates and cross referencing
the requirements required with the qualifications in the candidate CV. A number of 25
candidates will be selected and called for interview for the first round.

12
Professional Enterprise Development

Interviewing Candidate

The approach of selecting a project manager is somewhat different from a normal post
like software engineer or a quality assurance engineer. The strategy used for it is as
follows.

Here there will be 2 main interview calls, the first interview call will be for the 30
candidates out of whom have the best qualification match for the required job. In this
interview will be based on a friendly chat and with a basic objective of judging
communication skills, qualifications, technical knowledge and work co-ordination by
asking simple questions.

The second interview will be with a judge panel of superior members of the company for
a limited number of five best candidates out thirty. Overall a friendly Q and A section
which would judge the expertise and experience of the candidate.

Selecting Candidate

 Based on score and rank


For each test a score card will be maintained by the judge panel which consist of
predefine questions. The score will allocate and finally the candidate will be
ranked.

 Based on company beneficiary


More or ever the company will always select the candidate that will in return
favor them So when selecting they do take a note of demands raised by
individuals.

 Check reference

4.2 Junior Software Engineer

Advertise on Newspapers and Internet

The company targets fresher’s for junior software Engineer job vacancy. Advertising Job
vacancy in both Internet and newspapers it would be more helpful for students, even
though students assessing internet everyday but some areas of having lack internet
facilities.

Resume Screening

Resume screening is a good method to collect information about a candidate’s past skills
experience and other extra activities. First gather all received CVs and will be filtered by
checking with the company requirements and pick 20 suitable candidates from the list
and asked them to sit for the psychometric test.

Psychometric test

Psychometric tests plan to measure quality like intelligence, skill and personality. Test
provides a suitable employee who can work with other employees, handle pressure easily,
and having good problem solving skills. Psycho met test candidates will be receiving

15
Professional Enterprise Development

4.3 Junior Quality Assurance Engineer

News Paper Advertising

This is a traditional method practice in many companies in order to fulfill any


employment need.
This method is commonly used in as an overall strategy even though the main strategy is
selecting from dropouts there is no 100% guarantee that you will be able to find the
appropriate candidate and even if you do he or she might apply for another company, so
this method was used as an extra added measure.

Internet Advertisement campaign

The main reason why this method is used because first time job seekers most likely
search web rather than reading newspapers and journals. Another major factor that effect
the is getting into an even larger crowd with the minimal cost.

University Recruitment

The main recruitment strategy selected was taking a pool of applicant from university
drop outs, Advertisements and seminar sessions will be held during the allocated dates
for. “College recruitment offers an opportunity for recruiters to select the potential
employees with the personal, technical and professional competencies they require in
their organization.”
