Advertisements to recruit personnel are ubiquitous, even though they typically generate less desirable recruits than direct applications or referrals -and do so at greater expense.

Application Forms

An application for employment, job application, or application form usually includes a form or collection of forms that an individual seeking employment, called an applicant, must fill out as part of the process of the process of informing an employer of the applicant's availability and desire to be employed, and persuading the employer to offer the applicant employment.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Rewards

Because pay is an important job characteristic for almost all applicants, companies that take a "lead-the-market" approach to pay-that is, a policy of paying higher-than-current-market wages have a distinct advantage in recruiting.

Recruiter's Realism

Because the recruiter's job is to attract candidates, there is some pressure to exaggerate the positive features of the vacancy while downplaying the negative features.

Evaluating the Quality of a Source

Because there are few rules about the quality of a given source for a given vacancy, it is generally a good idea for employers to monitor the quality of all their recruitment sources.

Determining labor surplus or shortage

Once forecasts for labor demand and supply are known, the planner can compare the figures to ascertain whether there will be a labor shortage or labor surplus for the respective job categories.

Internal versus External Recruiting: Job Security

One desirable feature of a vacancy is that it provides ample opportunity for advancement and promotion. One organizational policy that affects this is the degree to which the company "promotes from within" -that is, recruits for upper-level vacancies internally rather than externally.

Colleges and Universities

One of the best ways to establish a stronger presence on a campus is with a college internship program. Another way of increasing one's presence on campus is to participate in university job fairs.

Electronic Recruiting

One of the easiest ways to get into "e-recruiting" is to simply use the organization's own web page to solicit applications.

Enhancing Recruiter Impact
