15) methods of reqruitment

1) Job centres -
Corporate logo of JobCentrePlus.svgjob centre plus is a brand used by the UK for its working age support service in the UK. Jobcentre Plus is an executive agency of the Department for Work and Pensions of the government of the United Kingdom. The agency provides services primarily to those attempting to find employment and to those requiring the issuing of a financial provision due to, in the first case lack of employment, of an allowance to assist with the living costs and expenditure intrinsic to the effort to achieve employment

2) internet -
Nearly every company will have their own website. When company's want to recruit new employees they will advertise the job that is needed on their website. this will allow members of the public who are looking for a job to apply for the job online and if successful they individuals may get selected to go and have an interview with the company. online there are job websites such as indeed.com. these websites allow different company's to advertise jobs which any member of the public can look at and apply.

3) trade fairs -
A trade fair  is an exhibition organized so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products, service, study activities of rivals and examine recent market trends and opportunities. In contrast to consumer fairs, only some trade fairs are open to the public, while others can only be attended by company representatives and members of the press therefore trade shows are classified as either "Public" or "Trade Only". A few fairs are hybrids of the two; one example is the Frankfurt Book Fair which is trade-only for its first three days and open to the general public on its final two days. They are held on a continuing basis in virtually all markets and normally attract companies from around the globe. For example, in the U.S. there are currently over 10,000  trade shows held every year, and several online directories have been established to help organizers, attendees, and marketers identify appropriate events.

4) job advertisement -
Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment. They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs) and should include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay package, location, job description, how to apply-either by CV or application form). Where a business chooses to advertise will depend on the cost of advertising and the coverage needed (i.e. how far away people will consider applying for the job.

analogue television

satelite

Satellite television is television programming delivered by the means of communications satellite and received by an outdoor antenna, usually a parabolic reflector generally referred to as a satellite dish, and as far as household usage is concerned, a satellite receiver either in the form of an external set-top box or a satellite tuner module built into a television set. Satellite television tuners are also available as a card or a USB peripheral to be attached to a personal computer.
