Recent Trends in Recruitment

Recent Trends in Recruitment

1) Outsourcing-
Under this arrangement, a company may draw the required personnel from the outsourcing firms or agencies on temporary basis rather than offering them employment. This is called ‘ leasing ‘ of human resources. The outsourcing firms get payment for their services to their clients and give salary directly to the personnel.

2) Poaching or Raiding-
Poaching means employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed company which might be a ‘rival’ in the industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions. For instance, several pilots of ‘ Indian Airlines’ left to join private air taxi operators.

3) Website or e- Recruitment-
Manu big organisations use internet as a source of recruitment. They advertise the job vacancies through the world wide web (www). The job seekers send their applications or curriculam vitae, i.e., CV, through e- mail using the internet, which can be drawn by the prospective employers depending upon their requirements.

4) Internships-
Internships offered by many industrial enterprises constitute an effective recruiting technique. Internship usually involves employment during the summer before graduation from college, specially in some technical courses. This is known as “Summer Placement” which requires a prior selection by the employer. The talented interns may be offered regular jobs on completion of their internship training.

5) Walk-in Interview-
Under this method, the employer can insert a ‘walk-in’ or ‘Talk-in’ advertisement in a daily newspaper or in the cyberspace (i.e. online). Those who walk in (i.e. come personally to the human resource department) or talk in (i.e. contact the human resource department over phone) or write in (i.e. send application through fax or e-mail) are asked to give necessary details to the recruiter. After the interview, the candidate may be informed about the selection or rejection decision of the employer.
