semi-skilled job-seekers assemble outside the premises of
the organisation on the specified date and selection is done
on the spot.
It is very inexpensive as it does not involve any cost of
advertising the vacancies.

unsolicited applicants in their offices. A list of such job-
seekers can be prepared and can be screened to fill the
vacancies as they arise.
It reduces the cost of recruiting workforce.
