Section 1

Evaluate any two internal recruitment sources

and any two external recruitment sources that
the company can use when recruiting Health
and Safety managers .
Internal source .
Promotions:
Promotions refer to shifting of persons to positions
carrying better prestige, higher responsibilities and more
pay. As we can see Gloria she has a great relations with
women she supervise . She have excellent record of
services with company. She could be promoted to the
post of manager for Occupational Health and safety
system .
Transfers:
Transfer involves shifting of persons from present jobs to
other similar jobs. These do not involve any change in
rank, responsibility or prestige.
Advantages :
Current employees already know the rules,
regulations and culture of the organization.
Offering opportunities to internal employees may
boost the morale of the staff members.
The organization knows employees and have detailed
records from previous supervisors

 A positive image is created in the organization

Disadvantages :
No new or fresh ideas are brought into the
organization .
Promotion of an internal employee could cause
sentiments amongst other employees, who feels that
they deserve the post more than the promoted
employee.
The number of applicants from which to choose
candidate may be too high or limited.
Negative attitudes of internal employees cannot be
changed by promotion.
External sources
Advertisement
It is a method of recruitment frequently used for skilled
workers, clerical and higher staff. Advertisement can be
given in newspapers and professional journals. These
advertisements attract applicants in large number of
highly variable quality.
Casual Callers
Those personnel who casually come to the company for
employment may also be considered for the vacant post.
It is most economical method of recruitment. In the

advanced countries, this method of recruitment is very

popular.

Advantages
A wide choice of candidates could attract skilled
applicants and put the organization in a better
position.
When we chose candidate from recruitment
agency ,candidates might have passed the initial
screening done by recruitment agency and save the
organization time and money.
Bringing in fresh talent from the outside can help
motivate the current employees to produce and
achieve more in hopes of obtaining the next
promotional opportunity.
This method of recruitment can prove to be cheap
and economical because new employees are already
trained and experienced and do not require much
training for the jobs.
Disadvantages
New recruits more often need to be trained.

 It could cost the organization a lot of money to

screen a large number of candidates.
Advertising in the print media attract a large number
of unsuitable applicants particularly for low level
positions.
The process of recruiting from outside is very
expensive. It starts with inserting costly
advertisements in the media and then arranging
written tests and conducting interviews. In spite of all
this if suitable persons are not available, then the
whole process will have to be repeated.

short-listing a successful candidate for a
Health and Safety position ? Justify your
answer for each criterion .

planning and organizing ones own work and where
appropriate that of other employees so as to achieve
specific and set objectives in the most efficient way

application of these techniques to new situations.
