RECRUITMENT (Vocabulary: Business Terms)
Recruitment is the process of finding suitable candidates to fill a position in a company. Steps include:
- identifying and spelling out the need;
- attracting candidates (by word of mouth or some times by advertising);
- interviewing and selecting the right candidate; and
- hiring and bringing the person onto staff.
In larger companies this may be done by the Human Resources ("HR") Department. The next step will probably be training. A person who has just been recruited might be called a "new recruit."
Recruiting techniques may include:
- Internal recruitment: hiring current employees to a new position;
- External recruiters: Hiring professionals to find your ideal candidates;
- Career fairs (also called "job fairs"): Attending events where candidates meet with representatives of several companies;
- Campus recruiting: Like a job fair for hiring soon-to-be graduates.
