Recruitment Plan:
I plan on recruiting for this position for 30 days. If after 30 days I do not find a suitable candidate, then this position will remain open until I fill it. The two places that I will start to do my recruiting are the company website and employee referrals. First, I would like to see if there are any internal candidates that are interested in the position from the company website. Also, with an employee referral, I will offer a monetary incentive if I hire that referral and they stay for six months to a year.
Since this is an entry level position, the next place I will do my recruiting is a college website. This job does require a degree, so I would like qualified applicants. Also, I will check to see if the college has an alumni section that I can post the job since some colleges offer lifetime career placement services.
