What are three recruiting strategies that could be used to recruit for this job position?a. The most common recruiting strategy is advertising in newspapers and on employment websites. b. Networking can prove to be a great resource to find suitable candidates. c. Promoting from within is another strong souce.HRM/300 Fundamentals of Human Resource Management2. In 350- to 500-words, compare and contrast the recruiting strategies you have chosen. Which recruiting strategy would you use to recruit for this position? Why?The most common recruiting strategy of seeking a candidate from internet websites is a good source because it allows you to see a large group of candidates at one time, and you can tailor your searches to target in on the ideal candidate. Networking, in the sense of just talking to people is also a good source because usually in this process you will come across someone who can put you in touch with the right people to find what you’re looking for; these people come with a referral so it’s not like starting at zero andonly knowing them on paper. Lastly, is hiring from within another strong route to get the right person in place, these people are those who have a proven record with the organization. They are easy to verify based off of in house reviews. The difference in the three is with the internet’s like cold calling, where as networking is a referral and in house promotion is a verified. However of the three I would look to promote within the company first. It’s important to reward employees for a job well done. If an employee knows there is room for growth they will more than likely work harder. Likewise, promoting from within cuts the cost down from a brand new employee. These people are already in the system, they are already trained on some level, so the process is streamlined to a certain extent.HRM/300 Fundamentals of Human Resource ManagementReferencesDecenzo, D.
