Sources of Employees
Effective recruiting requires that you know where and how to obtain qualified applicants. It is
difficult to generalize about the best source for each business, but a description of the major sources
follows.

Present employees -- Promotion from within tends to keep employee morale high.
Whenever possible, current employees should be given first consideration for any job
openings. This practice signals your support of current employees.
Unsolicited applicants -- Small businesses receive many unsolicited applications
from qualified and unqualified individuals. The former should be kept on file for
future reference. Good business practice suggests that all applicants be treated
courteously whether or not they are offered jobs.
Schools -- High schools, trade schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities
are sources for certain types of employees, especially if prior work experience is not
a major factor in the job specification. Schools also are excellent sources for part-
time employees.
Public employment offices -- The Employment Service of the U.S. Department of
Labor works with state employment offices to provide no-cost brokerage of
applicants who are seeking employment. Local offices will provide small businesses
with applicants who have been screened on the basis of work experience, education
and some psychological testing. They also have an up-to-date file on potential
employees who possess a wide range of skills.
Private employment agencies -- These firms provide a service for employers and
applicants by matching people to jobs in exchange for a fee. Some fees are paid by
the applicants, and there is no cost to the employer; for highly qualified applicants in
short supply, the employer sometimes pays the fee.
Training
After hiring new employees, you must train them to work efficiently. You must introduce them to new technologies related to their work together with old employees. Training your employees will give you an edge in terms of efficiency and productivity of your workforce. Investing in training programs will give high profitability in the future. High ranking officers must participate in seminars and conventions to be able to analyze how they will enhance the company’s goals to be globally competitive. Lectures and talks by senior or specialist managers, discussion group (conference and meeting) activities, Briefing by senior staffs, role-playing exercises and simulation of actual conditions, video and computer teaching activities, case studies (and discussion) tests, quizzes, panel 'games', group forums, observation exercises and inspection and reporting techniques are recommended as a part of group training program. After the training, senior officer must evaluate whether the employees benefit from the training. It is done to see whether the training is effective or needs revision to achieve the company’s goals. In designing a training program, the company may include activities
