IT Recruitment
About IT Recruitment
Recruitment
refers to identifying, attracting, interviewing,
selecting, hiring, and onboarding employees. In other words, it involves
everything from the identification of a staffing need to filling it.
Depending
on the size of an organization, recruitment is the responsibility of a
range of workers. Larger organizations may have entire teams of
recruiters, while others only a single recruiter. In small outfits, the
hiring manager may be responsible for recruiting. In addition, many
organizations outsource recruiting to outside firms. Companies almost
always recruit candidates for new positions via advertisements, job
boards, social media sites, and others. Many companies utilize
recruiting software to more effectively and efficiently source, top
candidates. Regardless, recruitment typically works in conjunction with,
or as a part of Human Resources.
