Dear Sanjeetha,
What Is Recruitment?
Recruitment is a constant, year-round process of keeping your organization's name in front of people. Before looking at some basic steps of the recruitment process, let's define what we mean by recruitment. For many people, the distinction between public relations, marketing, and recruitment is unclear.
Public Relations is the art of helping the public to understand what your organization does and encouraging the public to regard your efforts positively. It is designed to influence as large a segment of the public as possible at any one time with the message you have selected to share.
Marketing involves determining the needs of select or target audiences and then designing goods, services, and opportunities that respond to those needs. It relies heavily on designing the organization's offering in terms of the target markets' needs and desires, and on using effective pricing, communication, and distribution to inform, motivate, and service the markets.
Recruitment is the act of identifying groups and individuals for service and then actually asking them to volunteer.
While public relations, marketing, and recruitment are not synonymous; they do support each other and benefit the overall mission of your organization. When the public knows the name and service provided by your organization, people are more likely to remember your organization when they think about serving. When employed properly, marketing strategies can help target your recruitment campaign to the people who are most likely to say, "Yes!"
Steps in Recruitment
Finding volunteers to meet your agency or organization needs requires careful thinking and planning before an appeal is made. Prior to actually going out and asking people to help, you must:
- Clearly identify volunteer needs and position descriptions
- Know what you have to offer - the "costs" and benefits of volunteering
- Plan a recruitment approach based on volunteer needs and position descriptions
- Implement your plan
Once groundwork has been laid, you are ready to implement your plan and make the appeal.
What is staffing?
Staffing is from employee joining to the exit process. For staffing full information, I will let you know.
Warm Regards,
Satya
