that an organization can recruit the best candidate( Hansen and et.al., 2015). Friends and
acquaintances are the best way or resource to recruit people in the best manner.
Use alternative labour pools: It is not necessary that the right candidate has always been pooled
out from pool of applicants.
Appreciate the perception of the workplace from the outside: To stand out differently into
the market it is important to offer something different from their competitors. It is necessary that
an organization has to make an image from the outside so that people get attracted towards the
organization to work into that place.
Keep a short list: When job ads are posted then it is important to be clear about the selection
criteria. Short listing is the initial step through which in identifying the candidates who display
about selection criteria and skills an organization is looking for. It is important to notify short-
listed candidates for time and interview date as soon as possible. It’s the best idea some
applicants on the reserve list in the case when some of the short candidates are unavailable.
Hone the interviewing technique: It is necessary to develop job-related questions before
interviewing so that there are no awkward pauses at the time of interview and the individual can
remain in charge of the interview.
Check thoroughly before making the job offer: It is important to conduct reference checks and
schedule the background checks. It is also necessary to determine the salary offer which is based
on the market, qualifications and internal comparisons.
Follow through after the candidate has accepted: It is necessary to be sure about to make
arrangements for the candidate’s start date well ahead of time(Song and et.al., 2016). An
organization has to notify on the online or offline basis that the position has been filled out.
In this way, with the right recruitment plan it is important to be better in position to hire the best
people for the company. Only a proper recruitment plan ca help in terms of recruiting a right
