AKSHAT KAUL
In this session
Look at why employees join and leave organizations Learn recruitment strategies and their relationship to overall organizational strategy Look at several recruitment methods and practices And also investigate the marketing of openings through job advertisements
Other Considerations
People want to work, but not at jobs that require no skill or intelligence
Most employees leave because they dont feel needed, appropriately utilized, or appreciated.
Money is the most impersonal reasonso thats why employees cite money as the most important reason why they are leaving!
Recruitment Strategies
Also based on strategic intent, demand for type of position, and available resources
TARGETED RECRUITMENT
Firms are increasingly engaging in Targeted Recruitment Targeted implies that the media and message used is specifically aimed at a particular group (e.g., women, Hispanics, disabled)
RECRUITMENT METHODS
INTERNAL Job postings Must be feasible Must be trusted Should include JOB TITLE KSAs PAY SCALE TASKS Problem for achieving Affirm. Action goals
Succession Planning
RECRUITMENT METHODS
EXTERNAL Employee Referrals Internet College recruiting Advertising in newspapers, magazines, radio, tv Employment Agencies
Public Private
Professional Groups
JOB ADVERTISEMENTS
Should sell the organization, but provide a Realistic Job Preview for the applicant Should provide specific information about the job tasks/activities, the KSAs required, and the range of pay appropriate to the job Should represent the targeted audience (both in written and pictoral messages)
A good ad should draw attention, create interest, screen candidates, and provide for easy responses The headline should draw attention The body of the ad should be based on job requirements and job rewards so that applicants can self-screen The writing style should be natural, engaging, enthusiastic and easy to understand The ad should close with detailed info on how to apply for the job
The good news is that external recruitment brings in new blood, can increase diversity, reduce company politics, and in some cases reduce training costs The bad news is that newcomers may be resented by insiders who didnt get the job, that you know nothing of their KSAs except by selection measures, and that they wont know the culture of the organization
Applicants like being interviewed by someone like themselves; this gives them the impression that they will fit in Applicants like speaking with someone from the functional area theyll be in Personal characteristics of recruiter also matter: strong interpersonal skills, knowledge and enthusiasm about company and job improve acceptance rates
