College Campuses are another very popular recruitment source. New college hires are generally enthusiastic and eager to learn. Contract Recruiters are becoming much more prevalent. Because contract recruiters are not employees of the company, they can be brought on-board or released quickly. This is an advantage to the company because recruiting is generally a very cyclical function.
Employment agencies offer some unique advantages.
Job Fairs can be very effective. Because the applicants may be interviewing with multiple employers, it is imperative to respond quickly with invitations for in-house interviews of qualified candidates. The Internet has quickly become a very popular source of employment advertising. Employers can post their openings on their own web site, or use an internet job posting site. State Employment Agencies provide an abundant source of applicants for predominantly lower skilled or entry-level positions.
