There are many external sources of recruitment, but one of the most common is online job boards. Online job boards are websites where employers can post job openings and job seekers can search for and apply to those jobs. There are many different online job boards, each with their own focus. For example, some job boards focus on specific industries, while others focus on specific types of jobs. Some online job boards are generalists, meaning they have a little bit of everything.

Another common external source of recruitment is staffing agencies. Staffing agencies are companies that help employers find candidates for open positions. They typically have a database of candidates that they can search through to find the right fit for a job. Sometimes, staffing agencies will also post job openings on behalf of their clients.

There are many other external sources of recruitment, including but not limited to:

• Job fairs
• Career fairs
• Referrals from friends, family, and acquaintances
• Professional networking events
• Online networking platforms (such as LinkedIn)
• Recruitment software
