Week 3 EOC: Networking & External Sources

Week 3 EOC: Networking & External Sources

Some networking and external sources that I would use to recruit new employees for my company would be:

• Employment Agencies – State/Private – I would use employment agencies to find people whom have lost their previous jobs and have experience.


• Schools – high school job fairs, managers as guest speakers, notices with guidance counselors, teachers and coaches – I would use high schools to recruit younger faces to the industry and teach them the way of the field and encourage them in making a career out of it.


• Participation in work-study programs – to help find employees and enlighten students and adults about the field.


• Youth Groups – To help young people find employment in the fild. The younger generation are often harder working and enjoy the opportunity to learn.



• Woman’s Groups – To help find stong, independent, professional women who want to work in the culinary industry.



• Professional and Trade Journals – To find prosessionals in the industry looking for employement opportunities or to move to a different location/or up the professional ladder.


• Student Organizations – To find hard working and dedicated students that want to broaden their professional resume and skills.


• Urban League and other agencies that provide skills training and job placement –
New skills this agency would allow for helping with the teaching and growing of professional culinary skills.




• Open Job Fairs – Open job fairs allow for the opportunity to interview possible candidates on the spot and quite a few at a time. This allows for the process of elimination and if a candidate is liked you can bring them in for a more indepth interview.



• Employees at other hospitality companies or service-orientated organizations – People in the hospitality industry, like any other industry, are looking for a chance to “move up the ladder”. This allows for them to look into opportunities in other companies and grow their personal and professional skills.



• State Restaurant Associations – This allows for the broadcasting of employment opportunities. Through advertisements on the websites and in magazines, you are able to get your employment possabilities out and get a lot of responses and feedback.
