Recruitment Sources
Decisions about where to look for applicants is another critical
element of an organization’s recruitment strategy.
The method and audiences the organization chooses for communicating its labor needs will determine the size and nature of the labor market the organization taps to fill vacant positions.
Internal sources: Employees who currently hold other positions in the organization.
Job postings
External sources: seeking recruits from outside the organization.
Direct applicants: people who apply for a vacancy without prompting from the organization
Referrals: people who apply because someone in the organization prompted them to do so
