Week 2 Discussion 1 Recruiting

 

List at least three jobs and research the organizations’ recruiting practices. The jobs could be positions you have held or of those you want to hold. In your post, address the following questions:

 

• How were you recruited for each position (or how is the typical employee recruited)?

• From the organization’s perspective, what are the pros and cons of recruiting through these methods?
