Recruiting

Recruiting is a part of human resources management. Recruiting is primarily concerned with covering personnel requirements. The main task is therefore to supply the company with high-quality employees in line with demand and at a reasonable price.

5 phases of recruiting

Analyze requirements profile & job advertisement
Search for candidates
Applicant selection
Job offer & recruitment

Recruiting methods at a glance

A fundamental distinction can be made between internal and external recruitment. Recruitment measures are also aligned accordingly.

Internal recruitment measures are

Internal job advertisements: This can be done via the company intranet, an internal newsletter or the company magazine, for example. The aim here is to fill the advertised position with a suitable colleague or via an employee recommendation.
Transfers: Employees have the opportunity to be transferred to another position in the company if they are suitably qualified.
Personnel development: Thanks to suitable development and further training measures, it is ensured in the long term that the right employees will also fill other suitable positions in the future.

External recruitment measures

In the external procurement of personnel, a distinction is made between passive and active. Based on this distinction, differentiated measures can also be derived.
