INTRODUCTION
In this assignment, I am going to be explaining the recruitment process of two
organisations. Recruitment is the activity of employing workers to fill vacancies or enrolling new
members. Employment recruitment is composed of several stages: verifying that a vacancy
exists; drawing up a job specification; finding candidates; selecting them by interviewing and
other means; and making a job offer. Reasons to recruit people: Employees leave their job,
because they can find another place where the company will pay them better salary. Employees
leave for training to learn more about the department they work. Employees may have got a
suitable place for work. There are different reasons for an organisation to recruit someone;
Employee leaving, increased volume of business, Different work, Maternity cover, Sickness. The
other reason for employee’s leave is because of sickness, a time away from work caused by
illness, injury, or other form of incapacity, which means that an employee is medically unfit for
work. It depends how long the person is going to be off work.

Identify how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources
House of Frazier (HOF) usually recruits internally, as this is a cost-effective and time-saving
method. If they choose to advertise internally, posters are situated within the staff room and
locker room where employees are most likely to see the advertisements. However, they do also
advertise their vacancies clearly on their intranet site for current employees if they wish to look,
but these vacancies can also be found by members of the public ‘externally’ on the House Of
Fraser website too which is also a fairly cheap process as it does not require a third party input,
which would usually be a job centre or newspaper, who could advertise on behalf of the
company. Advertisements can also be found in shop windows which along with other external
methods of advertisements can be costly. It is known that advertising internally for a vacancy in-
store is usually a quicker process than externally as the process consists of less filtration of
candidates and interviewing which as well can be costly to the company which could be an
opportunity cost, as this money could be spent on other expenditures such as bonus schemes and
better facilities for employees.

Land Rover
Land Rover is a British car manufacturer which specializes in four-wheel drive vehicles,
and are famously renowned for the creation of ‘off-road’ vehicles such as the Defender,
Freelander and now more recently the exclusive Range Rover collection. Land Rover has also
been recognized for the use of their vehicles in the military in the Gulf War and Korean War.
They also offer the service of international purchasing even though they are based in the UK, and
offer ‘test drive’ services to customers that visit the showrooms they have in the UK. To benefit
the customer Land Rover, offer financial services including insurance and Personal/Business
financial packages.
Employment recruitment is composed of several stages: verifying that a vacancy exists;
drawing up a job specification; finding candidates; selecting them by interviewing and other
means; and making a job offer. There may be many different reasons for a vacancy to arise in a
business. There could be temporary vacancies to cover long term sickness, maternity/paternity
leave or to cover busy periods for example Christmas. Permanent vacancies may arise due to a
member of staff leaving, a new role being created or the company is expanding and possibly
because of changes in the organisation. is a growing business where new contracts are always
being tendered for, this means that they will often be new sites where new staff will be needed,
although sometimes the staff who worked for the previous catering company will be employed
by company. Effective recruitment is important in achieving high organizational performance
and minimizing staff turnover. Employees may be recruited either externally or internally.1
Companies can choose to recruit internally, this is when they employ an existing member of staff
to do a different job, this may then mean that their previous role is then available and may need
to be recruited externally.
