abilities as per the vacant post. These are the approaches of recruitment and selection which can
be utilized and accepted by Morrison:
Methods of Recruitment
Internal recruitment- This method is used by manager of Morrison organisation by
selecting from internal of the company. It means when employees are working in
organisation and management is require urgent employees to fill the high position then it has
option to recruit employees internally.
Strengths Weaknesses
By recruiting the candidates internally there is

Internal recruitment reduces the chances to
bring out new skills in their organisation that
can limit the productivity and profitability. this
