Recruitment is the first function of human resource management cycle, which must take seriously as the success and failure of your decision regarding the human resources is very much based on this particular function. Few years back, companies invest thousands of dollars in order to recruitment and selection but now thanks to the modern technology which is helping to save a huge amount of money and time as well. Traditionally personnel management professional think that internal hiring or reference based hiring is the only solution to hire the individual at a lowest possible cost, but now you can go beyond that and without investing in advertisement you can get the required individual of your own choice. 

Job portals are the most easiest way in order to get in touch with your target audience, Just make an account on some of job portal, the account is usually free as in case of Monster, indeed, yahoo hot jobs. Advertisement as basics are free of cost but if you want to advertise the job than a nominal fee is associated with it. These Job sites are those which are working globally beside this you can go regionally like Rozee, Ebay or Canadian job force. you can go through search engine and can find the regional job sites. as compared to the global job sites, regional job sites are much cheaper if you want to advertise the job and of course your reach to the target market will be more. To know more about job sites read my post about the Job Portals. 

Social Networking like Facebook , LinkedIn are doing great jobs, Human Resource Professional can post their jobs in their status messages and can reach up to their target audience. one of the trend which is arising, about all the companies have their appearance on their Facebook fan page, recruitment manager can post the job on the fan groups and you will easily get the loyal individuals for your company. I am giving here just clue you can  think out of the box and can share your experiences with me. 

Yesterday I was reading a job description of an online sale agent in which one of the skill required was that you have at least 250 followers on the tweeter this is the way things are changing now a days. If you have a large number of followers you can use it as your strength and with the help of tweets you can advertise the job and the result will be very much favorable on your side. 

There are also some professional sites which develops linkage between industry and the job seekers. I have gone through the search, these professional networks are not much inn but in the future they will definitely. There are few who have a large number of members like Salam Business Club. 

One of the easiest way is to write a job description and create a buzz of it on yahoo or Google and you would get good results. But it really works when your job is very common and the skills are not much unique. This thing is not very much popular but in the future it will definitely work.
