Advertising an open
position is one method of reaching
a wide range of possible
applicants. The extent and
placement of the advertisement
depend on the type of person
desired. While most people tend to
think of the local newspapers, this
is only one alternative and is
primarily suited for less skilled
labor. Advertising in professional
journals (e.g., national and state
journals) and other periodicals can
be an effective method of recruiting
staff pharmacists and pharmacy
managers.

A "help wanted" sign in a
pharmacy's any window is a kind of
advertising that allows passerby to
find an opportunity.

School Placement
These are people who
show up at the forum without

Walk-In
These are people who

Write-In
The internet has
become a major source of
recruiting job candidates. One
reason is that there are dozens of
free websites that can be used by
job applicants and sometimes, by
employers. Also, online recruiting
services exist for employers who
must pay a fee as with an
employment agency.
Online recruiting
is the process of choosing
which people would best fill specific
jobs. To conduct this, management
must have a procedure for screening
applicants-a means of sorting out the
best qualified applicants. An
established procedure ensures that all
relevant questions are asked and
relevant information is obtained. It also
ensures that the employer will not ask
questions that are discriminatory and
thereby put the pharmacy at risk for a
lawsuit.
