1. Headhunting: It is a recruitment process where a specialized recruiter or
headhunter approaches and recruits a highly skilled candidate for a specific job position. Headhunting is typically used for high-level executive positions. For example, a company may hire a headhunter to find a CEO for their organization.
2. Networking: It is the process of building and maintaining professional
relationships to exchange information, knowledge, and ideas that may help to advance one's career. Networking can be done through various channels such as social media, conferences, seminars, and professional organizations. For example, a salesperson may attend networking events to meet potential clients.
3. Outsourcing of personnel: It is a process where a company hires an
external agency or third-party provider to handle specific tasks or functions on its behalf. The outsourcing company is responsible for hiring, training, and managing the outsourced personnel. For example, a company may outsource its customer support function to a call center in another country.
4. Outstaffing: It is similar to outsourcing, but instead of outsourcing a
function or task, a company hires a third-party provider to provide its employees or staff. The third-party provider is responsible for payroll, benefits, and other HR- related functions. For example, a company may hire a staffing agency to provide temporary employees for a project.
5. Crowd Staffing: It is a recruitment model where a company uses an
online platform to connect with a large pool of freelance workers who are willing to work on short-term or project-based assignments. The company can quickly hire and deploy the required resources as per the project needs. For example, a company may use a crowd staffing platform to hire a graphic designer for a project. 6. Freelance: It is a work arrangement where an individual works for multiple clients or companies on a project or assignment basis, without being committed to any single employer. Freelancers are usually self-employed and responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and other business expenses. For example, a freelance writer may write articles for different clients.
7. Interim management: It is a short-term management solution where a
temporary manager is hired to manage a specific function or project. The interim manager is usually hired for a few months to a year, until a permanent manager is found. For example, a company may hire an interim manager to manage a department during a period of transition or change.
