4.2BUSINESS ANALYST

Recruitment for various vacancies in organizations are filled in two methods. One

method is to do internal recruitment. The other is to do external recruitment.

4.2.1INTERNAL RECRUITMENT

Internal Recruitment is the process of acquiring employees for vacancies within

the organization itself. According to Dessler & Varkkey (2011) hiring from

within is the best source of recruitment. Internal recruitment consists of different

types such as Promotions or Demotions, Inter Department Transfers and

employees switching jobs.

When a vacancy is available, the post is advertised on the company internal

notification system and then eligible candidates can apply and go through the

relevant phases of recruitment as detailed below.

4.2.2EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT

External Recruitment is the process of acquiring new employees into the firm

through a rigorous process of screening and selection. After the relevant vacancies

are advertised publicly on newspapers and on the internet (on the official website,

popular job bank websites, official social media pages), the interested candidates

would send in their application and continue with the relevant phases of

recruitment as detailed below.

4.2.3PHASES OF RECRUITMENT

1. Advertising / Attraction Phase:In this phase, the jobs are advertised in the relevant medium publicly or

privates (in the case of internal recruitment) and a time period is given for

the candidates to make up their minds and to send in their applications

with the relevant details such as the cover letter and the resume.

Jobs can be advertised on newspapers and websites publicly. In Sri Lanka,

it is advisable to advertise on the public newspapers or newspapers that

have a wide circulation such as Sunday Observer or Sunday Time. With


21/38

16

regard to websites,www.topjobs.lkis one of the most popular online job

banks where many popular firms advertise their vacancies.

2. Selection / Screening PhaseApplications will be sent to the Human Resource manager or any other

contact person specified in the advertisement. These applications will be

then collected and after the deadline has passed, the HR Department will

start the selection / screening process to shortlist the selected candidates.

The selection committee will carry on this process using a preset criteria

which they will use to assess the candidates in the shortlisting process.

Since the job of Business Analyst in a Software Development firm

requires some amount of technical knowledge, the shortlisted candidates

will be called in for an aptitude test in which the candidate will be given a

relevant aptitude test to verify their knowledge. Those who succeed in this

aptitude test will be shortlisted and then sent for the next level of the

selection process.

The selected candidates will be then called in for their first interview. This

interview will be done by a panel consisting of the Project Manager of the

Project the recruitment is being done for, the department head (in this case

the Information Resources Management Department), a member from the

Human Resources Department. The candidates that are shortlisted will

then be called in for a second interview where the same panel along with a

director of the firm will also attend and the final selection will be made.

In addition to all this, the HR Department will also conduct a background

check on the candidates (if they are to external recruits) to verify their

details and personal life (where appropriate).

3. Final / Appointment PhaseWhen the suitable candidate is finalized, the candidate is then selected as a

staff of the firm. The HR Department will then carry on the formal

procedures such as signing the contracts and other codes and policies etc

and the issuing of the accreditation cards etc.

7.0ADVERTISING STRATEGIES

Advertising a Vacancy is done to select the perfect person for the vacant position

of a company. To get selected this perfect person the employer of the companymust make a proper boundary line of what are the qualification requirements that

the organization is expecting from the employee who they are planning on taking

in. After finalizing qualification requirement boundary line, the next step is to

design the advertisement in an eye catching way for the applicants. Once the

employer finished with the designing stage deciding on what media the

advertisement is published is a responsibility of the employer. Followings are the

methods that a company can publish their advertisements.

o News Papers Advertisemento Websiteso Personal Contacts,o Referrals by Colleagues, employees

(Saskatchewan Career and Employment Services, n.d.)

7.1NEWS PAPER ADVERTISEMENT

This is known as the most widely spreading and famous media of advertising out

of all the media methods, and also the best among the paper media since most

humans do tend to read papers. Newspapers do have a gigantic audience around

everywhere in a country and even the poor people can access to a newspapers by

at least walking into libraries if they cant afford to buy one. Since the newspaper

media doesnt have a boundary for its audience, it deserve the largest audience

where an advertisement can get publicized by newspaper then to the word of

mouth. This media is a more effective since the media can clearly advertise all

the relevant information from the responsibilities to the requirements. And also

considering it form the point or organization, this media is known as one of the

expensive media.


27/38

22

7.2WEBSITES

This one of the method that have become famous with the growth of the

technology. Since the applicants of an IT industry, are more fluent in Internet this

method is more target on them. Though all the targeted audience doesnt have

access to the internet. An advertisement can be published in web media in

different ways like social media, job banks, and in other specific sites. This

method helps an organization to spread an advertisement to the media with few

seconds, and can be edited even afterwards.

7.3

PERSONAL CONTACTS

Personal contact is when the employer personally know the applicant where the

employer can recommend the known contact to the give post. Since this has no

cost for the company it is an advantage for the company. Apart from that the

employer knows all the information regarding the applicant who have

recommended. The issue occurs on that point if the recommended person for

specific position is not fluent and not capable for achieving their given tasks.

7.4REFERRALS BY COLLEAGUES AND EMPLOYEES

This is known as one of the easiest, cheapest method, since applicants get

recommend the known ones who could full fill the company requirements and

responsibilities, by a referral, a well knows contact of a employee or a colleague.

Since this get people referred by the employees and colleagues, most the people

who are getting referred are updates about the company. Also since it referred by

an employee or a colleague, the applicants background will be knows well by

them, and also the colleagues and employees are responsible for referring.
