Traditional Methods of Recruitment & Modern Methods of Recruitment

Recruitment of employees to a company is considered to be an integral part for the success of a company. Selection of the proper candidate for the right position is the challenge HR managers experience at the time of an opening. With time recruitment methods have evolved from traditional methods to new methods, where both recruitment methods are being used presently.

Traditional Recruitment Methods

Newspaper Advertisements – This method could be considered as the simplest form. Posting of an opening on the local newspaper helps in reaching a greater portion of population who are on the watch out for openings.

Posters/ handbills– Displaying of posters on notice boards or handbills slipped inside newspapers are another method of letting the general public aware of any openings at different organizations.

Internal Hiring – Once an opening arises, advertising within the company and recruiting from within or through internal recruitment has its advantages and disadvantages too, yet it too is a way to fill in the opening immediately and rather safer in contrast to all other methods.

Reference – This too is a popular means of recruiting employees. This system enables a third party to recommend a potential candidate to a known company.

Modern Recruitment Method

Social media is the newest method of recruitment companies opt for. This method is cost effective, time saving, and also allows companies select the most suitable candidate from a large pool of potential candidates. Portals such as Facebook, LinkedIn are the most common forums where many potential candidates post their resumes hoping for the right company to spot them.

Just as Henry Ford had quoted, be it resolving a company issue or to lead a company project, employees look at them in different perspectives. Their approaches, ideas, and many more differ. Each and every person have their different beliefs, egos, problems where eventually the final decision could be affected.
