a. Propose various sources and methods of recruitment to develop a pool of sufficient numbers of candidates to hire the most suitable salespeople. Justify your proposal. Recruiting the right salesperson to sell and represent the company in the market can be a very stimulating and challenging experience for any organization. It takes just as much skill if not more; choose a champion seller how do you choose a champion horse? There's more at stake than a few dollars at the Melbourne Cup every November - business, customers and the company's reputation depend on your ability to choose the right horse. The various sources and methods to recruit the right candidates for sales people can be as follows: Internal Sources: (within the organization) Internal Method: • Job Advertisement: This can be one of the good methods for this job since There may be a suitable candidate within the organization who knows the product very well and is very good at dealing with the customer on the phone. • Employee referrals: Sometimes employee referrals also work because they know exactly what type of candidate is needed and can refer the person who matches our requirement.External sources: (outside the organization) External method: • Advertising: Advertising in newspapers, on television and on the radio may be the best option to obtain a greater than sufficient number of candidates. Since the specifications and requirements for this job are written there. • Campus visits: This can be the other good method to get new candidates for this type of job. College students are full of enthusiasm and excited to work and know different ways to attract customers to buy products. They are always willing to learn and work hard. • Employment Agencies: These are other methods of recruiting candidates. These agencies know the company's criteria and only based on that they choose the best candidates required for a particular job.b. Now let's say your recruiting campaign generates around 600 candidates who meet the basic eligibility requirements. What selection predictors would you recommend for making selection decisions? Why? Propose an appropriate selection approach with justification. Well, I accept that there is no 100% guaranteed approach that will always produce the exact person/job role match every time. This is because ultimately we are dealing with the most intangible of all resources, and that is people. For this type of job I would prefer psychometric tests and interviews with a multiple predictor approach to select candidates.
