7. Can you think of some recruitment methods?
Internal recruitment
Recruitment agency
Newspaper or specialist magazine ads
Headhunting / executive search
E-recruitment
Campus recruitment or college recruiting
Employee referral

8. Advantages and disadvantages
Cost
audience
Retaining the staff
Qualification of the candidates

9. Advantages of internal recruitment
Gives existing employees greater opportunity to advance their careers in the business
May help to retain staff who might otherwise leave
Requires a short induction training period
Employer should know more about the internal candidate's abilities (= a reduced risk of selecting an inappropriate candidate)
Usually quicker and less expensive than recruiting from outside

10. Disadvantages of internal recruitment
Limits the number of potential applicants for a job
External candidates might be better suited / qualified for the job
Another vacancy will be created that has to be filled
Existing staff may feel they have the automatic right to be promoted, whether or not they are competent
Business may become resistant to change; by recruiting from outside, new perspectives and attitudes are brought in

11. Advantages for job advertisement
--wide audience
--can potentially reach the best on the market
Fresh attitudes

12. Job advertisements
- Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment.
They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs) and should include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay package, location, job description, how to apply-either by CV or application form).

13. Disadvantages: High processing cost:
A large number of applications need to be processed
Problem of confirming qualifications and checking references

14. Recruitment agency – (职业介绍所/机构)
These companies specialize wholly in recruitment and generally keep a up-to-date database数据库 of experienced potential employees.
They work for a fee and often specialize in particular employment areas e.g. nursing, financial services, teacher recruitment

15. Advantages of recruitment agencies
--can be selective
Can potentially get the best person for the job quickly
Disadvantage:
expensive

16. Headhunting: executive search
Companies turn to executive search firms to find top-notch大腕 personnel for management, professional, and technical positions.
Unlike employment agencies, headhunters directly contact already employed people at the competitors of the client company.

17. Advantages (headhunting)
--can select high quality candidates
Headhunters know the market and the best people
Can access people not actively on the job market
Disadvantage:
Very expensive in the short term.

18. Personal recommendation / employee referral
Often referred to as ‘word of mouth’（口碑） and can be a recommendation from a colleague at work.
A full assessment of the candidate is still needed however but potentially it saves on advertising cost.

19. The reasons of firing an employee
attendance problems: no call, no show; absenteeism缺勤 or tardiness拖沓
poor work performance: not meet the employer‘s standards; lack of necessary skills to perform duties, incompetence, failure to learn the required skills or processes, neglect of maintenance or safety procedures, refusal to perform duties, laziness, or negligence玩忽职守.
