However, some companies have raised concerns about the access to the online recruitment resources about the inclusion of some employment sectors and organizations with low levels of digital marketing.

This report, therefore,seeks to provide an understanding of some of the challenges faced by Stryker Company ororganization in recruiting its workforce and provide recommendations as well to help thecompany improve on its recruitment strategies in order to attract talented and skilled workforcewhich is necessary for organizational growth.Overview of the organization and its recruitment strategiesStryker is one of the leading medical technologies companies in the world. The company offers innovative healthcare products and services in orthopedics, medical and surgical equipment’s as well as terotechnology and spine. Due to the nature of their business the companyor organization the organization has been developing recruitment strategies that will help them attract and recruit talented and skilled workforce (Aravamudhan & Krishnaveni, 2015). Its mission is driven towards making health care in Australia and in other parts of the world better. It is reported that the success of the company has been as a result of the organizational capacity to recruit people or a workforce that has the right innate talent and therefore the company works in partnership with the Gallup organization or company to develop a talent-based selection technology for suitable candidates.
