THIS IS ONLY AN INTERPRETATION, FIVE SENTENCES AND A QUESTION IS ALL I NEED. TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS, HAVE REFERENCES! ASK PROBING QUESTIONS AND MAKE STATEMENTS BASED OFF WHAT THEY WROTE

Hands on Charlotte

Hands
on Charlotte was started in 1991 and currently operates as a program of
the United Way of Central Carolinas. They operate as an organization
that connects people in local areas to volunteer opportunities. There
are currently more than 200 affiliate volunteer action centers
throughout the U.S. Their mission is to inspire, equip and mobilize a
diverse corps of volunteers to strengthen our community. We do this by
creating and managing flexible volunteer opportunities for individuals
and companies, connecting them with service projects that have
meaningful impact (About Us: Hands on Charotte, 2018). They have five
core values and work mostly with organizations that promote education,
sustaining the environment, and economic prosperity to name a few.

Internal Recruiting

Internal
recruiting involves filling vacate positions within the organization
with someone currently employed by the organization. Like with every HR
functions there are advantages and disadvantages to using internal
resources. One advantage is the ability to have continuous gain from
the original investment in an employee. One disadvantage is the lack of
innovation and diverse ideas because of existing relationships and ties
within the organization.

External Recruiting

External
recruiting is the act of seeking qualified applicants outside of the
organization (Pynes, 2013). One advantage to external recruiting is an
increase in demographic diversity within the organization. It also
allows for a change in the internal culture. Another advantage is the
ease of getting vacation positions out to the public through the use of
e-recruiting and technology. This avenue could also be a disadvantage
if no recruitment plan is in place. It can also affect the quality and
number of candidates reviewed for a position through the use of
selection programs. Seeking external applicants can also effect
employee morale and employee’s perception on how the organization feels
about employee training and development. The biggest concern with
external recruiting is organizational fit.
