1. Advertisement.
Advertisement is the
most effective means to search potential employees from outside the
organization. Employment advertisement in journals, newspapers, bulletins,
etc., is quite common in our country.
2. Employment Agencies.
Many organizations get
the information about the prospective candidates through employment agencies.
3. On Campus
Recruitment.
Many organizations
conduct preliminary search of prospective employees by conducting interviews at
the campuses of various institutes, universities, and colleges.
4. Deputation.
Many organizations take
people on deputation from other organizations. Such people are given choice
either to return to their original organization after a certain time or to opt
for the present organization.
5. Recommendation by
existing employees.
Vacancies may also be
filled up on the basis of recommendations made by the existing employees of the
concern. A family member, relative or friend of an employee may be considered
for appointment.
6. Labor Unions.
In many organizations,
labor unions are used as source of manpower supply, though at the lower levels.
In many organizations, unions are asked to make recommendations for employment
of people as a matter of goodwill and cooperation.
7. Gate Hiring.
The concept of gate
hiring is to select people who approach on their own for employment in the
organization. This happens mostly in the case of unskilled and semiskilled
workers. As such candidates are recommended by the existing employees, it is
safe to employ them. Employee recommendations can be considered to employ
personnel particularly at the lower levels.
