Explain the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to recruitment and selection cr uittment R ecrui Recruitment is the activity that establishes the relationship between the employer and the applicant. Recruitment aims to create jobs for a large number of employees. The recruitment process is simple and applicants just need to submit the application without too much demand from the company. Human resource departments only need to select the appropriate application and receive the candidate, so the process does not take much time and expense by the candidates themselves. To apply for a job by submission, candidates must fill out a full application form including, job title, grade/level, reporting lines, key responsibilities and tasks The personal requirements for the job are explained in t he person specification Includes required experience, qualifications, competencies or personal attributes (e.g. strong verbal communication). There are also forms of recruiting through the internet. Nowadays with the development of the internet, anything can be accomplished online and recruited. To keep up with the world trend, companies are also beginning to use online recruiting. This way the candidates can fill in the profiles available on the network and send mail to the HR department. It does not take too much time to apply as before.
In addition,
recent graduates or those who need a job can receive job postings via the company's official website or other social-friendly sites that the company is involved in. Selec cti on Sele Selection is the process of recruiting qualified personnel and matching vacant positions. Unlike recruitment, selection sele ction will reject all unsuitable candidates. This is a complicated and time consuming process. It also costs a lot of companies to offer reasonable prices to invite candidates suitable for vacant positions. Often, the selection process will occur after recruitment because after reviewing the recruitment application, the candidate does not find the right candidate for the position they are looking for, they will plan directly to recruit the candidate well suited.
Explain at least 03 strengths and weaknesses of each internal and external recruitment; each main methods of selection. Recruiting is the process of finding and selecting the right people, satisfying the requirements of the position and long-term goals of the company. In order to effectively recruit staff, the recruiter must have a thorough and well-rounded vision. There are many recruitment methods, including internal recruitment and external recruitment. 1.
Internal recruiting is a form of recruiting staff available in the company to run for the new position.
The first advantage of recruiting internally is the use of old employees so employees are familiar with the work environment in the company. When working in a familiar environment, we will be more relaxed in order to get a better job. Secondly, because of a familiar working environment, there is not much pressure. Employees will want to stick with the company for a long time, meaning that loyalty to the company will increase. Next is the relationship between the department staff together is quite cohesive, which is a favorable point for the future post. When departments are linked, collaboration across departments is much easier. Finally, the biggest advantage of recruiting is that leaders, managers know the strength of their employees, so it is easier to assign tasks to the most appropriate.
In addition to the advantages mentioned above, the recruitment also has certain disadvantages. Because of being too comfortable with the work environment in the company, the employees will relinquish, neglect the job does not complete their work. In addition, work long enough in an environment where staff members have the initiative to innovate in ways that fit the outside world. In addition, employees have never been exposed to the way companies work, so the professional experience for each industry is still less.
2.
External recruitment is the recruitment of human resources outside of society through recruitment announcements or referrals from acquaintances. Recruited students are graduates, freelancers, employees of other companies...
Any recruitment method will have it advantages and disadvantages. Recruiting new employees brings new ideas and innovations to the company. Besides, since they have had time to work outside, they have a lot of experience from other jobs. In addition, new people will always have new relationships from which to utilize the relationship to find more potential customers. Moreover, outsourcing can employ a large number of employees depending on demand.
External recruitment sometimes also has some problems. For example, when recruiting new graduates we sometimes have to trai n them for the fundamentals of the company. In addition, for newcomers they have not fully adapted to the working style of everyone in the company, sometimes leading to the difficult integration into the staff community. The most important thing is that the management only knows about the new employees through the recruitment process, never contacted work cooperation so it is difficult to assign assignments when assigning tasks.
Critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to recruitment and selection, supported by specific examples. Specific examples should be analyzed in Vietnam’s cultural context
Established on 15/12/1993 and officially put into operation since 1995, after many years of operation, Acecook Vietnam Joint Stock Company has grown to become a comprehensive food products company. There are 100% invested capital and production line from Japan. Acecook Vietnam consists of 7 branches and 11 factories. The corporation is located in Ho Chi Minh City. With two factories in 2001, Danang (1 factory) and Hung Yen (2 factories) set up branches in 2001. In 2003, two new factories were established in Binh Duong. In 2004, Bac Ninh also rejoiced with two factories that decided to build in order to improve production. Then in 2006, Acecook Vietnam decided to open another branch in Vinh Long with 2 factories and finally in 2016 Ha Noi branch was born. In Vietnam, the company has a strong position in the market, specializing in supplying instant noodles with high quality and nutrition. Acecook is known as a company with 100% foreign capital so the way of recruiting and working environment is almost identical to that of Japan. When working at Acecook you can be creative, work in safe conditions, friendly colleagues and especially superiors are very interested in your employees. Acecook always prides itself on getting enlightened staff and tr aining policies, improving the level of staff. According to the representative of the company, while working in the company, employees can rotate positions. 1.
I nternal R ecruitment
Acecook is a foreign company so the way of working also has many differences with Vietnamese companies. According to the information from the representati ve of the company, at each term of office employees holding positions from the head or more
will swap positions. For example, the marketing manager will change positions with the R & D manager. Even the general manager can change for one another. This i s also considered an internal recruitment form of Acecook - recruiting former employees into the new position.
Strengths
The exchange of positions allows managers or department managers to better understand the work of other departments, thereby enhancing knowledge and experience in a variety of areas. In addition to the relationship between departments, the closer the department is to each other, the cooperation between each other to work together. For example, a former product manager can describe the specific work of a production manager for a newcomer, between which they will exchange information and lead to a new relationship.
Weakness
In the form of staff exchange of acecook almost t he employees are actively responded to and widely used by other companies. So, in my opinion, there is no weakness in internal recruitment. 2.
E xternal R ecruitment
Acecook is a large company and is constantly expanding production scale across the country so acecook can solve the employment demand for most of the people of Vietnam. Within a few months Acecook will open a recruitment phase fo r vacancies. Individuals aged 18 and over in any part of the country can apply for a job only on the basis of a high school diploma. This is a mandatory requirement for companies so it is
not too difficult to apply for a job at Acecook.. “Acecook Vietnam i s based on this philosophy to recruit, cultivate, reward and develop talents. We connect talented people and virtues together to bring delicious meals, safe, peace of mind, joy and happiness to each family.” ( Acecook Việt Nam - Cook Happiness) .
Strengths
Recruiting in such a way that save a lot of time and costs for the company. Employers only need to sit there and wait for applicants to come to the site without having to look around or get acquainted with prospective employees.
Weakness
This is the way to recruit staff passively, difficult to control. Although many people apply for work, it is still very difficult to find a suitable person for a vacancy. Beside that is a short-term measure to meet the company's shortage of human resources and outsourced recruiters are often recruited for low posit ions such as workers, security and labor in the company. 3. I nternet R ecruitment
Like other large-scale companies across the country, Acecook also has its own website to post its activities, including job postings.
Nowadays, the internet has
grown so strong that it has become an indispensable tool in daily life. Knowing that, Acecook has applied the form of online recruiting.
Strengths
Acecook will give you detailed information about the jobs you need and will put in place an online application form that will make it easier for people to apply for a job than the traditional job application lost information. This saves time for both personnel and job applicants. It also saves a large part of the cost of delivering leaflets or postings on recruitment news.
Weakness
Strengths will also have weaknesses. Anyone can apply online so sometimes there will be people who are not serious about finding a job or just submit a job that affects other candidates, reducing the chances of having a job be their job. Besides, as there are no responsibilities when applying for jobs online, there are those who do not meet the basic conditions still apply to overload the number of applications, but the quality is very low. But generally online recruitment form is s till Acecook in favor of its inherent facilities, the inconvenience can overcome. 4.
Selection
“Acecook Vietnam offers employees competitive salary s ystems and dynamic benefits, short and long term bonuses, and a friendly, cohesive working environment.” ( Acecook Việt Nam - Cook Happiness) .
To attract talented people, Acecook has created s pecial benefits for employees. In addition to the basic benefits that most companies have, Acecook will have additional vacations as a bonus after a tiring work day. For example, in addition to basic things
like health insurance, providing lunch for employees, additional bonuses on holidays, New Year. Acecook also organizes one-time or one-off vacation trips for overseas staffs, etc. In addition, Acecook also has training programs in conjunction with J apan to attract talented people. Through training programs, employees have more opportunities to stay in Japan to work or hold high positions in the company. This is one of the attractions of Acecook for the young.
Strengths
In addition to attracting many talents to the company. The human-readable human resource campaign indirectly shows everyone the true potential of Acecook. From salary factors for employees to services such as grants, social health. Acecook proves that the company is a place where everyone is involved.
Weakness
The weakness of the selection structure is that it costs a lot of money to invest in employee training programs. To attract employees, they must offer attractive benefits that lead to increased costs for the company. In short, Acecook has voted the top 100 most rewarding companies in Vietnam. This is the result of an independent survey conducted by Vietnam's largest network of senior managers and human resources - Anphabe (www.anphabe.com) and market research firm Nielsen. 26,128 respondents in 24 industries. More than 500 enterprises participated in the survey based on a set of criteria including 46 factors around 6 main criteria: Salary, bonus, welfare; development opportunities; culture and values; leadership team; quality of work and life; company reputation. To bring happiness to the employees, Acecook Vietnam always creates favorable conditions for a ll employees to work, for consumers. In parallel, employees are alwa ys created the best working environment through emulation programs, rewarding regimes and well-deserved benefits. In particular, Acecook has alwa ys provided a great source of funding for in-country and offshore training for potential employees, as well as regular professional training sessions.
