Want To Hire Great Employees? Fix Your Broken Recruiting Process
In-house or 3rd Party…..
Sri Lankan
multinational FMCG organizations, usually use three main
strategies for recruitment process…
- Developing and maintaining an inhouse recruitment function with recruitment managers and officers
- Use 3rd party recruitment agents to execute the process
- Use both inhouse teams and 3rd party agents
No. 3 (both inhouse & 3rd party) strategy is the most common practice among multinational FMCG organizations
in Sri Lanka. However, they apply this strategy either lonely or in a combined way and
it depends on layer of the organization. in most of the cases to refill the top layers
of the organization they use 100% inhouse recruitment teams and for lower
layers both 3rd Party agents and inhouse teams. And final decision is made by relevant functional managers. Sometimes it can be a combined
decision form both HR and the relevant function.
Social Media as a supportive arm for recruitment process
Both 3rd party and Inhouse recruitment
teams use different social media networks as a supportive arm for their recruitment
process. Publishing advertisements and initial screening process using candidates’
social media profiles are generalized now. Linkedin and Facebook are playing
major roles in above context. Not only that, some organizations are using internet
based own systems to facilitate the vacancy advertisements, Job applications, initial
skill base screenings, to make a priority list for the interviews, E- aptitude
tastes, culture fit test and... etc.
Is Culturally fit to the organization is so critical???
Most of the organization highly concern
about culturally fit to the organization, as it is very important to maintain existing
systems in the organization. Such as quality, safety, organizational values and
employee engagement. Consequently, they use different strategies to find culturally
fit candidates. Focus on same type organization employees, online cultural
fit tests, promote internal candidates and special round of interviews are common
methods for that.

Nice brief introduction.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your most preferred method of recruiting? any particular reason for the choice?
Thanks for your comment and Sorry for the late reply, I also agree with Srimal
DeleteMost of the organizations give priority to Home grown leaders and career progression programmes are also link with this,
However, if organization seek for new talents (for new function/ Role/ any other new business requirement) then focus will be outside talent pools
I think In house development and recruitment is best method for any organisation. Because organisations can build loyalty employees carder in the organisation.
ReplyDeletethanks, and agree with your comment....

thanks Ruvee..
DeleteIs social media methods superior to the traditional methods of recruiting?
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on levels of Organization's hierarchy, for office staff(supervisors and above) yes, social media is superior tool. However FMCG Organizations are still using traditional methods for frontline employees.
ReplyDeleteInteresting !
ReplyDeleteAs I see organizations pay large amounts to the third party agencies who support for their recruitment process. I believe that they should have the ability to do the selection and recruitment process by them-self and it will save the huge cost toward the company.
Hi Chamara thanks for your comment,
ReplyDeleteMy view on this,
I think cost effective/ saving depend on few factors, mainly
- Size of the organization (total number of employees)
- Branches/Divisions, Different business units, Local or multinational Operation
- Current employee turnover status
- Company reputation as an Employer
Only for some cases, can agree with you…..
