Intro…
Job Analysis is done to see and assess the number of
employees an organization needs for a particular job.
After the analysis of a job, organization knows whether
it has to release or recruit some employees.
After the Analysis if it is found that the Organization
already has more number of employees than its required
number organization has to release some of its
employees.
If the number is less than its actual requirement,
organization has to recruit and appoint new employees
in desired number.

Definition…
Recruitment is the Process of attracting job applicants with
the necessary skills and motivation to offset shortages
identified in Human Resource Planning.
What?... Process of Attraction
Whom?... Skilled and Motivated applicants
Why?...to fill out the required positions to achieve the
organizational goals.
Diagnostic Approach to Recruitment…
According to the Diagnostic Approach to Recruitment,
designing any effective recruitment should depend on
three important factors, or the following factors should
be consulted…
a.External influences
b.Organization influences
c.Individuals’ qualifications and preferences
a. External Influences/Factors…
An economic theory, namely net advantage, should be
kept in mind in designing recruitment policy,
Net Advantage refers to choice of one job over another.
People will tend to choose the employer and job with the
greatest ‘net advantage’ for their own circumstances.
And people compare them in terms of:
a.Wage and Salary
b.Job Security
c.Location
d.Challenge of the Job
b. Organization Influences…
Firstly, the organization has to decide whether to fill these
requirements with recruitment or sub contracting, offering overtime
.
If an organization recruits, it should provide info on…
Who should be recruited and where?
So, job analysis should be properly defined so that the organization
knows who to recruit.
Task, responsibilities should be defined
Job requirement should be specific.
Information should be specific and accurate
Hiring of employees should reflect its long term goals; Defender
organizations hire people that are immediately needed, prospectus
organizations hire people of different calibers and expertise so that
they can meet the future demands of the market and expansion of
the organization.
c. Individual Candidate’s Preferences…
Accurate communication of job specifications and
organization’s strategies and objectives are helpful to
applicants. If a candidate has a clear idea of the job, the
rewards the job offers, as well as where the organization
is headed, then a more accurate assessment can be made
as to whether or not the job offers a good match with
personal needs and abilities. Determination of interest on
the part of the candidate is called self-assessment.
If the personal interest of an applicant matches with the
organizational offers, it becomes a good match.
Getting a job is like getting married, when both sides like
each other it becomes a deal/contract, social or
professional.

through notice, publication of job bulletin, company
website. Copies of notices sent to lounges, hallways
and other places frequently used by employees.

files of potential employees, if found potential for the
job, is offered and asked whether or not they wish to

Methods of External sources…
1.College Recruiting…
Under College recruitment the following stages, methods are
followed:
Specifying Schools: it is actually choosing schools,
recruiting from specific colleges (schools) are sometimes
prestigious. Depending on the needs the orgn chooses
schools (IBA, BUET, FBS of DU, NSU, AIUB, etc.)
Attracting Students: Sign up program, booth to introduce
orgn and sign up, Job fair, suitable students are asked to sit
for an interview.
Site Visits: Candidates of a specific school are asked to visit
the office and then the department will evaluate the
candidates and offer to the suitable candidates.
2.The Recruiter…
Sometimes recruiting agencies or some Institutions with
relevant expertise are asked to recruit and select
employee on their behalf. Why???
1.HR is capable of recruiting general people (admin,
management, marketing, accountant, etc) but for some
specialists they have to depend on outside recruiters
(for scientist, biologists, chemists, etc.)
2.For huge number of candidates organization uses
outsources to recruit employees, (IBA, FBS and FSS of
DU, BIBM, etc)
3.In order to avoid nepotism
4.HR dept is now concentrating more on other staffing
activities rather than recruitment and selection.

an organization seeking for employment are
interviewed. Normally done for low skilled labour.
