Very brief. The recruitment phase of the hiring process takes place when the company tries to reach a pool of candidates through job postings, job referrals, advertisements, college campus recruitment, etc. Candidates who respond to these measures then come in for interviews and other methods of assessment. Employers may check the background of prospective employees, as well as check references.

Quick and behavior-focused; helps to know someone within the University who can refer you and provide guidance. Multiple applications for different jobs gets you noticed (as long as you're qualified for each job).
