Exploring Alternative Recruitment Strategies Beyond Job Portals

Please, can anyone tell me what are the various ways of recruitment apart from job portals?

---

Hi, thank you for your question! In addition to job portals, there are several other methods of recruitment that organizations use to attract and hire talent. Some common alternative recruitment strategies include:

1. Employee Referrals: Encouraging current employees to refer qualified candidates for open positions.
2. Social Media Recruiting: Utilizing platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to reach potential candidates.
3. Recruitment Agencies: Partnering with external agencies to help source and screen candidates.
4. Networking Events: Attending job fairs, industry events, and conferences to connect with potential candidates.
5. Internal Mobility: Promoting opportunities for current employees to apply for open positions within the organization.

These are just a few examples of alternative recruitment methods that companies can explore to diversify their talent acquisition strategies.

Hi,

There are different ways to source candidates other than job portals and campus recruitment. A few examples are given below:

1) Internal Database
2) Social Networking Sites
3) Headhunting (different types such as cold call or warm call)
4) Employee referral policy (where you can fix a certain amount and encash it only after 3 months of the referral joining)
5) Generating referrals from resumes or candidates available on job portals (by fixing some referral amount)
6) Hiring or generating references from former employees
7) Through Consultants or Recruitment firms
8) Job postings or on job portals
9) Job advertisements through newspaper ads, radio, television, videos, and classifieds
10) Billboards and posters
11) Employment Exchange
12) Notices on websites or e-newsletters and signs in or on facilities such as retail stores.

Cheers!

Dear Richuka,

Neat list. Good one to be appreciated.

Again, Rocky, please search the community for the earlier post.

Dear Rocky,

Apart from job portals, you can conduct recruitment through references from your existing employees and advertisements.
