Strategies for Recruiting Experienced Candidates Without Financial Investment

How can a person recruit experienced candidates without investing money in company portals or classifieds? Additionally, how can they reach people who use internet services rarely?

Thank you.

Method of Recruitment

- Portal
- Head Hunting
- Internal Reference
- Advertisement
- Recruitment Agencies
- Walk-In

We can use other effective methods to save our company expenses, and for that, we should follow a certain process.

1. HR Recruiter should get the requirement from any department 1 month in advance.
2. Based on the requirement, the recruiter can reach out to people in the same industry through references and head hunting.
3. As soon as recruiters get the requirement, they should post it on the notice board, mentioning that anyone who closes this position will get 1 month's salary of the candidate or 15 days' salary. This way, internal employee references can work out, and employees will get involved. (HR department can't refer anyone in this process.)
4. We should advertise, mentioning the date of the interview, and conduct an open house interview on a selected day.

If nothing works out after 20 days of hard work, only then should we give the requirement to agencies. We should pay the agency only if the candidate stays with our company for 3 months.

At the same time, the HR Head or COO can check with the recruiter about the work done in 20 days, which can impact performance appraisals.

After the Selection of the Employee

If a candidate leaves the company within six months, the Recruiter, Department Head, and Mentor of the department should be answerable. The company spends significant time, money, and value in selecting the candidate, and if they leave before 6 months, it is a loss for the company.

Sources can be used without investing money on portals:

1. Employee referral scheme
2. Social Networks - (like Facebook, Yahoo groups, LinkedIn)
3. Headhunting
4. Educational Institutes (Training and Placement Officer)
5. Collect the reference/data from candidates by incorporating the section of reference in the Employment Form
6. Last but not least, your relationship with the employees as well as with the candidates will help you to get the references.

Thanks
