“A STUDY ON REVIEW OF LITERATURE IN RECRUITMENT PROCESS”
1.Ours and Ridder (1992) introduced a novel method to test the hypothesis that firms search sequentially based (in which applicants are screened as they show up) on the relationship between the number of (rejected) job applicants and the number of employees hired. The author used data compiled from filled vacancies for the Netherlands. Different types of search methods were distinguished. The results implied that when firms use advertising, private or 76 public employment agencies, which together cover about 45 per cent of filled vacancies, sequential search is rejected. For about 55 per cent of filled vacancies however, sequential search cannot be rejected. In line with

8. Weiss and Barbeite (2001) focused on reactions to Internet-based job sites. To this end, they developed a web-based survey that addressed the importance of job site features, privacy issues, and demographics. They found that the Internet was clearly preferred as a source of finding jobs.
In particular, respondents liked job sites that had few features and required little personal information. Yet, older workers and women felt less comfortable disclosing personal information at job sites. Men and women did not differ in terms of preference for web site features, but women were less comfortable providing information online.
9. A study by Lockyer and Scholarios (2004) on selecting hotel staff, considered the nature of
“best practice” for recruitment and selection. Data from Scottish hotels indicated a reliance on 79 informal methods, particularly in smaller hotels. In larger and chain hotels, structured procedures, including references, application forms and panel interviews, were evident, but, these methods were inadequate for dealing with recruitment and quality problems.

Technological advancements pertaining to the computer and information field have made Internet based study the trend of the twenty first century. The Internet has performed as a catalyst in that it has entirely changed the face of marketing and advertising. It has allowed advertisements to be in more places than before. Ads now can move, they have sound, and can even have more depth vs. an ad that is found in a magazine or newspaper, which definitely would not have any movement or
Recruiting can be viewed as a screening process. This is especially true during periods of high unemployment, when the job market is characterized by an oversupply of talent. Under these conditions, the recruiting function in an organization is to eliminate unqualified people as much as to seek out talent. To improve the quality of an overall recruiting process, each step of the process must be designed to maximize the probability that the candidate ultimately selected meets the expectations of the hiring manager. One way to do this is to maximize the chances that an unqualified candidate is screened out at each step. The following are some key areas in which to focus on quality (Ibid.).
I would also like to add that there is a prevalence of online platforms that employers purchase to "handle" the hiring process. Once, I completed freelance work for a lawyer who used ZipRecruiter and needed support weeding out the best candidates to invite for an interview. This experience reinforced the

The Internet has become a pervasive presence in the American workplace. Two-thirds of employees in medium and large companies in the United States now have Internet access, compared with fifteen percent only two years ago, according to a sampling of 500 companies surveyed by the IntelliQuest Corporation.

S. C. Bagri, Suresh Babu and Mohit Kukreti analyzed the Human Resource practices in hotels. Results of this study demonstrated that employees were satisfied with their compensation packages but not with the working conditions, and the employee turnover rate was relatively high. Authors observed that there was adequate training often provided by the hoteliers to develop employees’ operational skills. Moreover, it was observed that recruitment was generally through internal referrals leading to high inbreeding and subsequent other human resource
Recruitment strategies in an organisation are intended to identify suitable employees who fit well for the business (Ahmad & Schroeder, 2002). It is a very complex process that needs to be carried out correctly and if not; can incur substantial costs for the business. (Pets, 1997) acknowledges this and highlights that due to the upsurge in competitive pressure, HR managers are constantly looking for ways to develop and sustain performance within the organisation. Therefore, avoiding unwanted cost and keeping employee retention. This paper aims to analyse existing literature regarding the e
Recruitment is the process of fulfilling the existing or expected position that is created within an organization by finding and attracting a pool of experienced and qualified people. The main essence of recruitment is to attract the right people in the right place at the right time and cost (Nankervis et al. 2014). In other words, the main guidelines for hiring managers and assistant managers should be focused on recruiting the right people at the right place, time and cost. The key guidelines to recruit managers and assistant managers should be as follows:
