Given the competition in the job
market today; companies are finding it more difficult and expensive to recruit
competent skilled workers, so therefore companies need a socially
responsible, cheap and efficient way to always recruit skilled workers over time.
WHAT IS SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE RECRUITMENT?
First let us define recruitment;
it is the process of searching for and hiring the best candidates with required
skills to fill vacancies in an organization either on a temporary or permanent
basis.
In the Nigerian labour market
today, there are so many qualified and unqualified people seeking for work
every day. Most of these people get employed through Godfatherism and nepotism
and this has become the order of the day. Also some recruitment agents collect
money from job seekers for vacancies to be made available to them, or for them
to be referred to recruiters. Some of these job seekers are given work but
these recruitment agents are obligated to find work for all paying applicants,
thereby being biased towards the paying applicants; qualified or not.
Given all these, how would companies hire efficient workers; through socially responsible recruitment. So what is socially responsible recruitment?
Socially responsible recruitment
is the recruitment of staff in such a manner that hires the best people while
making the unskilled applicants aware of their specific skill deficiencies and
training facilities that develop them. in other words;
- Recruiters
post jobs and screen applications free
- skilled
and unskilled Job Seekers apply for said jobs
- skilled
job seekers are hired
- Training
facilities advertise relevant courses, degreed or certifications that
develop the unskilled job seekers
So skilled job seekers are employed and
unskilled job seekers are developed
