I do second Ms. Amal reply and we too work on similar formula like we have main classification of;

Internal Source.

External Source.

Though, other than that, we too hire interns and Management Trainees through which we generate pool of candidates to fulfill position but at initial stage. For senior level positions, we do go for internal promotions and in case of immediate supply. Head hunters services have been utilized and on the same side I do maintain and update CV databank where I keep updating and sorting the resumes based on divisions and levels.

I have had some experience with most types of Internal and External Sources of Hiring. However i believe the following have proven good results: 

 

Internal:

1.  Employee Referrals - Cost effective and fairly reliable source.

2. Internal Job Posting - Promotes employee who have been with the company for a long time and are good performers with good knowledge.

3. Company Website Applicants - another cost effective source, however one needs to thoroughly screen the applicants.

 

External:

1. Consultants / Agencies / Headhunters - an expensive source, however fairly reliable in closing immediate positions at a faster pace.

2. Job portals and Networking Sites like Bayt.com, etc are also an effective source.

3. Campus hiring - Another cost effective and reliable source.

Networking, then as many as recruitent agencies, never relay on even the best agency, but keep a network of agencies and let them know that you will treta them according to their services.

1.  Mainly two sources are available for hiring the people, i.e. Internal Source and External source. But, in my opinion and experience, external source is most effective. The main reasons behind it are mainly:

a. You have the option of variety and choices to find out the best one.

b. Talents / diversified guys may be sorted out from the lot.

c. Negotiations in respect of position / remuneration may be made in easier way.

 

2. Website, News paper ad and Head hunters may be utilized to hire from external source.

Both Internal and external sources are being used for hiring. I personally prefer using external source, i.e. posting ads in newspapers, and web sites. Both have merits and demerits too. Internally you can fulfill your need by promoting the competent and talented professional already working with you and you are well aware of thier performance. This is an easy and free of cost process. But doing so, you have to choose from the limited available lot. On the other hand, inviting applications through newspapers or web sites, you receive unlimited applications of talented and experienced professional, and can choose the BEST among them. But this a lengthy and costly process too. So BOTH have their merits and demerits.
