It's important to know and understand what the job is all about. In hiring decisions, you have to be able to make a judgment, not just about the person being interviewed, but about the fit between the person and the job. Well-written job descriptions help you hire the right people and make the kind of fair employment decisions you can defend in court. Find the Best Applicants Various recruiting sources are available including personal recommendations, internal recruitment, employee referrals, college recruiting, employment agencies, and employment ads. Depending on the size and needs of your organization, you may use one, some, or all of these sources to find applicants.
Many employers believe that employee referrals are the best way to recruit new applicants.
Current employees are committed to the organization and understand the work environment. And, referrals are relatively inexpensive. However, employment ads continue to be the most widely used recruiting source. To avoid drowning in a sea of resumes, it is important to write clear and specifically defined employment ads. Such ads will not only dissuade unqualified applicants, but will also make the recruiting process much more efficient.
