Increasingly, securing the best
quality candidates for almost all organizations relies, at least occasionally if not substantially, on
external recruitment methods. Rapidly changing business models demand skill and experience that cannot be
sourced or rapidly enough developed from the existing employee base. It would be unusual for an organization
to undertake all aspects of the recruitment process without support from third-party dedicated recruitment
firms. This may involve a range of support services, such as; provision of CVs or
resumes, identifying recruitment media,
advertisement design and media placement for job vacancies, candidate response handling,
shortlisting
,
conducting aptitude
testing,
preliminary interviews
or reference
and qualification
verification. Typically, small
organizations may not have in-house resources or, in common with larger organizations, may not possess the
particular skill-set required to undertake a specific recruitment assignment. Where requirements arise, these
are referred on an ad hoc basis to government job
centresor commercially
run employment
agencies.
