All of these sub contents are required to be noted carefully by the HR department of the company in order to “Get the best and avoid the rest”. (Fyock, 2008). “Basic goals of recruiting are to communicate a positive image of the organisation and to identify and gain the interest and commitment of people who will be good employees”. (Stewart and Brown,2009). Therefore, recruitment process can be segmented as follows.

·         Employer Brand Image Building – a considerable effort should be made to communicate the values of the company and together a company can decide between a realistic and an idealistic type of messaging as a recruitment practice.

·         Attracting a talent pool – this will be the recruiting sources of an organisation, common ones being Job Posting, Employee Referrals, Advertising through print and electronic Media.
