2.0 Recruitment Strategies
The main task of selecting the correct person is quite difficult, as the job market
increases, the number of dropout increase more people looking for job we have to be veryselective in making a decision, or else poor choices would lead to long term loses and the
investment made over to make a recruitment will result with a great lose.
Recruitment is the set of activities and processes used to legally obtain a sufficient
number of qualified people at the right place and time so that the people and the
organization can select each other in their own best short and long term interests
( Schuler, Randall S.)
In other words its explained recruitment helps in an organization to find a suitable
person out of huge lot that matches with the required skill set in the required vacancy.
For this to be fulfilled properly a suitable recruitment strategy should be selected
depending on the vacancy.
Here we will look at the strategies followed as a whole.
y Newspaper advertisement
y Mass Mailing campaign
y University recruitment
Below will discuss the reason why it was choose and how to perform it

2.1 Newspaper advertisement
Reason and justification for selection
The process of advertising over newspaper which would reach out a large number
of audience and also can be considered. Its been a traditional media which had
been exits far long ago, but yet a great source for promotion because every single
house in Sri Lanka at least purchases it once a weak.
How to perform
This method is only been allocated for project manager and software engineers,
the main reason is selection of one per job and skill set required is quite which
acquire more industrial experience people to engage.
For this task to be performed the major newspaper companies are selected, The
campaign is carried out two days in a week day and a weekend as most of people
find time reading news papers in week days.
Campaign dates will not be a single date but of many dates, intension of reaching
a larger crowd.

2.2 Mass mailing campaign
By using internet its a faster and cheaper option compared to others, Most of the
people have access to internet since its already an IT related vacancy, the
employee will have internet access, and using this method would be really
practical
As after a long time Sri Lanka has now evolved with mass mailing or also know
as newsletters, where bulk mail is sent to a list of subscribers who have registered
to receive the service.
This method also was selected for project manager and software engineer only.
How it is performed
First selection of service provider is done with regard to budget and number of
subscribers that they have. The design that has been used for the newspaper ad
will be used as for this media too.
Once a particular person receives the mail, he/she might not be interested but
there are a specific group who might be looking for a similar job, All they have to
do is simply reply to the email attaching a the CV and covering letter.
Compare to previous method there will be a high response rate because of the
ability of replying instantly.

2.3 University Recruitment
This approach is mainly used to get junior non experience people to increase work
force. Basically it would fulfill needs of the both side the company getting its
work force increase and the workers in return getting a good experience which
would help to build up their career.
We have selected this method to be used only when recruiting software engineer
and quality assurance engineer only, main reason is because of recruiting
university dropouts will help them to get a large pool of job applicants.
The main 2 advantage of the strategy is cost and convince.
How it is done
An employer is sent to university to prescreen applications and get a pool of
applicants. To get the maximum outcome of this method the job should be made
to stand out. As many students will be aware of what the career path would be for
the next five to ten years.

selected over budget and number of audience reached.

4.3 Junior Quality Assurance Engineer
News Paper Advertising
This is a traditional method practice in many companies in order to fulfill any
employment need.
This method is commonly used in as an overall strategy even though the main strategy is
selecting from dropouts there is no 100% guarantee that you will be able to find the
appropriate candidate and even if you do he or she might apply for another company, so
this method was used as an extra added measure.
Internet Advertisement campaign
The main reason why this method is used because first time job seekers most likely
search web rather than reading newspapers and journals. Another major factor that effect
the is getting into an even larger crowd with the minimal cost.
University Recruitment
The main recruitment strategy selected was taking a pool of applicant from university
drop outs, Advertisements and seminar sessions will be held during the allocated dates
for. College recruitment offers an opportunity for recruiters to select the potential
employees with the personal, technical and professional competencies they require in
their organization.
