What you’ll learn to do: describe the methods that businesses use to recruit employees

Recruiting employees might call to mind placing advertisements in newspapers, listing positions with local job placement agencies, or using social media. However, there is much more involved in the recruitment and final selection of employees. Often a person’s first job is in some kind of retail environment, and it might seem like there is little thought or effort behind the recruitment process. Before you begin your study of the recruitment function of HR, take a few minutes to watch the video below and listen to three retail CEOs talk about the process of placing the right person in the right position.
