Part B

In my opinion the best method of recruitment are

• Recruitment events – In this, you will get to choose from a huge variety of options and also you can put them in your actual situations and observe how they resolve it. This type of method is always required that HR has a basic knowledge about the job profile and also they are prepared for the same. For example, in case if IT company, it is always recommended that HR should know about the product and also technical language for profile for which they are hiring and what will be actual day to day situations. As many times they have no idea which led to bad impression
• Recruitment agencies – This is very effective and time-saving method as in this all the groundwork is done by agencies itself and only the interviews are done by HR. So HR can actually focus on selection. In this HR needs to first have a connection with agencies and ensure that they do groundwork properly as they should not send profiles without reviewing just for namesake
• Boomerang employee – In today’s trend, this is one of the most famous technique as this help in improving branding and also reliability. People who join the same company again stay for a longer time, so the transition rate will be less. HR should be good with HRMS tools and should document all changes. Also when needed should be able to get information from the application
• Talent pool database – This help in saving time and cost a lot. As there are many times when we get more good people then needed and if we add then in the database, they can be used again. HR should be good in basis technical skills like excel,
• Direct advertisement – This has multiple benefits like hiring and also branding for the company. So with one thing we get multiple benefits.
