Exercise 2.Read and translate the text.

Recruitment involves seeking and attracting a pool of people from which qualified candidates for job vacancies can be chosen. Most organizations have a recruitment (or, as it is sometimes called, employment) function. This function is managed by the human resource department. In an era when the focus of most organizations has been on efficiently and effectively running the organization, recruiting the right person for the job is a top priority. The magnitude of an organization's recruiting effort and the methods to be used in that recruiting effort are determined from the personnel planning process and the requirements of the specific jobs to be filled. If the forecast human resource requirements exceed the net human resource requirements, the organization must actively recruit new employees. On the other hand, recruitment should be concerned with seeking and at­tracting only qualified job candidates. Successful recruiting is difficult if the jobs to be filled are vaguely defined. Regardless of whether the job to be filled has been in existence or is newly created, its requirements must be defined as precisely as possible for recruiting to be effective. Job analysis provides information about the nature and requirements of specific jobs. Job analysis gives the nature and requirements of specific jobs. Human resource planning determines the specific number of jobs to be filled. Recruitment is concerned with providing a pool of people who are qualified to fill these vacancies.

Who Does the Recruiting, and How?

In most large- and middle-sized organizations, the human resource department is responsible for recruiting. These organizations normally have an employment office within the human resource department. The employment office has recruiters, interviewers, and clerical personnel who handle the recruitment activities both at the organization's offices and elsewhere. The role of those in the employment office is crucial. Walk-ins/write-ins respondents to advertising, and present employees responding to job postings develop an impression of the organization through their contacts with the employment office. If the applicant is treated indifferently or rudely, a lasting negative impression can be developed. On the other hand, if the applicant is pleasantly greeted, provided with pertinent information about job openings, and treated with respect, then a lasting positive impression is likely to result. Having employees trained in effective communication and interpersonal skills is essential in the employment office. When recruiting away from the organization's offices, the role of the recruiter equally critical. Job applicants' impressions about the organization are significantly influenced by the knowledge and expertise of the recruiter. In small organizations, the recruitment function, in addition to many other responsibilities, is normally handled by one person - frequently, the office manager. It is also not unusual for line managers in small organizations to recruit and interview job applicants.
