Kapil, the HR manager, conducted an analysis which revealed the number and type of employees available in the department. Kapil used the internal sources first for recruiting a few employees.

He followed a process for the purpose of selecting the best candidates and conducted a series of employment tests and interviews. Ten people were finally selected and after the medical examination their contract of employment was prepared.

* Advertisement : Wider range of candidates. Advertisement in newspapers or trade and professional journals is generally used when a wider choice is required. Most of the senior positions of industry as well as commerce are filled by this method. 

* Placement agencies: Useful where extensive screening is required. In technical and professional areas, private agencies and professional bodies appear to be doing substantive work. Placement agencies provide a nationwide service in matching personnel demand and supply. These agencies compile bio-data of a large number of candidates and recommend suitable names to their clients. Such agencies charge fee for their services and they are useful where extensive screening is required. 

* Campus recruitment: Educational institutions. Colleges and institutes of management and technology have become a popular source of recruitment for technical, professional and managerial jobs. Many big organisations maintain a close liaison with the universities, vocational schools and management institutes to recruit qualified personnel for various jobs.

* Web publishing: Designing of specific websites. Internet is becoming a common source of recruitment these days. There are certain websites specifically designed and dedicated for the purpose of providing information about both job seekers and job opening. In fact, websites are very commonly visited both by the prospective employees and the organisations searching for suitable people.
