Answer to Question 1

Answer: The process of introducing a person to his new job is known as orientation.
There are two types of orientation: work unit orientation and organization orientation.
Work unit orientation familiarizes the employee with the goals of the work unit, clarifies how his or her job contributes to the unit's goals, and includes an introduction to his or her new coworkers. Organization orientation informs the new employee about the company's goals, history, philosophy, procedures, and rules.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Recruitment is the process of locating, identifying, and attracting capable applicants.
Commonly used recruitment sources are:
a. The Internet - This reaches a large number of people and can get immediate feedback. But, it also generates many unqualified candidates.
b. Employee referrals - The knowledge about the organization is provided by the current employees. This can generate strong candidates because a good referral reflects on the recommender. But, this may not increase the diversity and mix of employees in the organization.
c. The company Web site - This has a wide distribution. It can be targeted to specific groups
But on the flip side, it also generates many unqualified candidates.
d. College recruiting - This allows access to a large centralized body of candidates. But, this source can be only used for filling entry-level positions in the organization.
e. Professional recruiting organizations - They have a good knowledge of industry challenges
and requirements. But, on the negative side, they have very little commitment to specific
organizations.
