Project Title Recruitment and Selection in Business
Task 1: Understand the process of recruitment
In small groups you could research the recruitment process of a range of organisations. This
could be local businesses and/or organisations where you work. Each group could produce
labelled diagrams to show the recruitment process, these could be discussed with you
identifying how the processes may vary across organisations. You could investigate the
different ways that jobs are advertised. You could use examples from business recruitment
website pages, recruitment agencies, local and national press, JobCentre Plus etc. A group
discussion could then follow, with your identifying the internal and external methods used and
the advantages and disadvantages of each.
1.1: Describe how organisations plan to use internal and external sources
for recruitment
(You are looking for a job in human resources and feel that if you find out about how
organisations go about recruiting and selecting staff this will give you an advantage over other
applicants.
Task: Research two different organisations and identify and describe how each organisation:
● plans its recruitment
● advertises jobs
● asks applicants to apply for jobs.)
Each organization has its own way of planning recruitment process using both
internal and external sources. Two companies chosen for explanation of recruitment
plan using both intern and external sources are: Sainsbury and Tesco. Tesco need to
recruit more staff members as their business is expanding continuously. Sainsbury is

business in order to gain competitive advantage. Both the companies have its own
reasons of recruiting new employees and because of those reasons they plan their
recruitments using both internal and external resources.
Reasons for planning recruitment
Tesco has fired approximately 10 percent of its employees because due to
Covid-19 their business was impacted drastically. But now as the business is growing
again, requirement of new vacancies has increased again and in order to fill those
vacancies, Tesco has started its recruitment process. But however, reason of planning
of Sainsbury is different. Due to employee misconduct, Sainsbury had fired
approximately 20 employees. Increasing business has created requirement of new
vacancies so that overall revenue and profitability can be increased and business can
be expanded easily.
Usage of internal resources of recruitment planning
Tesco uses both interna and external resources for recruitment planning but
Sainsbury uses internal or external resources as per their need and requirement.
Tesco specifically uses transfer and promotion as internal sources for recruitment.
Tesco uses internal resources like training and development programs, appraisal and
incentive method. Other than promotion and transfer, Sainsbury also focuses upon
reaching retired or trenched. Internal recruitment method chosen by Sainsbury are
web portals, recruiting employees who have left the company again.
Usage of external resources of recruitment planning
External resources used by Tesco are contact job centres, recruitment
