Question:

Under this method of recruitment, an organisation maintains a database of unsolicited applicants in their offices. Which of the following is the method referred to here?

Options:

Direct recruitment

Casual Callers

Labour contractors

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Casual Callers

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Casual Callers.

Casual Callers: Many reputed business organisations keep a database of unsolicited applicants in their offices. Such job-seekers can be a valuable source of man power. A list of such job-seekers can be prepared and can be screened to fill the vacancies as they arise.

Direct Recruitment: Under the direct recruitment, a notice is placed on the notice-board of the enterprise specifying the details of the jobs available. Jobseekers assemble outside the premises of the organisation on the specified date and selection is done on the spot.

Labour Contractors: Labour contractors maintain close contacts with labourers and they can provide the required number of unskilled workers at short notice. Workers are recruited through labour contractors who are themselves employees of the organisation.
