Direct advertising

• Placing job adverts on your careers site, job boards, social media and industry publications is an excellent way to find lots of applicants. It also gives exposure to your employer branding and boosts your company’s reputation. The downside is that external advertising can be very expensive.
• Also, if you don’t target the placement of your ads well, you could attract unsuitable applicants, or get too few applications.

Talent pool databases

• You should always search your talent pool databases for applicants and candidates that were not hired but were suitable enough to save. Most hiring decisions involve deciding between at least two or three candidates.

Employee referrals

• Most companies have some kind of employee referral program in place. Employee referrals is a combination of internal and external recruitment. Existing staff are encouraged to refer people they know for vacancies.
• The value is that it’s cost-effective, quick and you can trust that employees won’t refer unsuitable candidates. Also, the new hire will already know more about your organization than an outside hire

What is the selection

• Selection is the process of picking or choosing the right candidate, who is most suitable for a vacant job position in an organization. In others words, selection can also be explained as the process of interviewing the candidates and evaluating their qualities, which are required for a specific job and then choosing the suitable candidate for the position.
• The selection of a right applicant for a vacant position will be an asset to the organization, which will be helping the organization in reaching its objectives.
