THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PRACTICE IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

 

The recruitment process can be defined as attracting individuals on a regular basis with the required number of candidates who meet the required qualifications (Walker, 2009). Companies are following different processes to fulfill the requirements. (Akuamouh, 2016) stated that some of the processes are Screening applications and resumes, interviewing, and references and the working history. Different hiring processes are used by organizations to find the right person for the job (Walker, 2009). f you're dealing with a recruitment process in a professional way, We can reduce the impact of subjective elements (Djabatey, 2012) . The majority of those involved in this process has elements of biased judgment. However, treating candidates professionally will leave a positive impression on the organization (Opatha, 2010).

 

Recruitment

Recruitment according to (Weihrich, 1994) implies attracting candidates to fill positions in an organizational structure. (Opatha, 2010) emphasis on the process of finding qualified and suitable people for the vacancies in the organization. It is a set of activities used by a company to attract job candidates with the necessary skills and attitudes. The recruitment process generates a qualified group of people to suit organizational job vacancies. The first step in the recruitment process is to locate company personnel with the goal of gathering positive and qualified candidates to apply for the job (Armstrong, 2009). In the view of (Henry, 2009) recruitment is a procedure for allowing talented individuals to join an organization after receiving training. As a result of the evidence presented above, we can conclude that various types of recruitment and selection methods are considered by various types of organizations.

The recruitment process at Home Lands Skylines is handled by the HR department, which assigns a team to collect the information of the qualified candidates.

Types of Recruitments

An Advertisement

(Russo, 2000) observed that organizations can advertise job openings in a variety of ways, including electronic and print media, to attract the best candidates. The Home Lands Company primarily advertises job openings on paper and online through top job sites.

Through Agencies

Using a recruitment agency to hire employees based on contract responsibilities is one of the most effective ways to hire capable employees (Florea, 2014). The Homelands company's HR department recruits the sales team through local agencies to find the best candidates. These companies carry out preparatory activities that are compatible with the organization.

Employee referral

This is one of the common techniques used by the organization. Employees of the company can recommend potential friends and candidates from outside the company (Maloney, 2001). Employees are chosen using this method based on a referral from a current employee of the organization.

Educational and Training Establishments:

The organization's human resources department will visit educational institutes and universities to hire top students who will be in their final year of study and will be able to fill the vacant position. This method is one of the cheapest ways to hire fresher for the organization (Hart, 2005). Home Lands company recruits 10% of the total recruitment from the universities in Sri Lanka and the leading education institutes such as NIBM , SLIM.

E-Recruitment:

Employers are recruited through web-based techniques or an online platform Cappelli (Flippo, 1984).  During the Covid 19 Pandemic situation, mostly real estate companies used to hire employees via Zoom meetings or Teams.

 Internal Advertisements (Job Posting)

Internal Advertisements refer to the process of posting/advertising jobs within an organization. This career placement is an open invitation to all employees within the organization to apply for open positions. It provides equal opportunities to all employees within the organization. As a result, recruitment will take place within the organization, which saves a significant amount of money. In Homelands company, the open advertisement is always posted within the company to move to a different position.
