Using of Strategic Employee Resourcing



What is Strategic Employee Resourcing?
According to Noe (2008) employee resourcing strategy refers to a company’s judgement regarding where to find employees, how to select them and the mix of employee skills and statuses. Employee resourcing strategies helps to provide the people and skills required to maintain the business strategies and it is concerned with any means available to meet the needs of the firm for identified skills and behaviors (Armstrong, 2010). This procedure has been regarded as part of the area of personnel management and describe resourcing as a technical procedure of matching available applicants according to the requirements of the organization. The objective of HRM resourcing strategies is to obtain the right basic material in the form of workforce enhanced with appropriate qualities, skills, knowledge and positive for future training (Armstrong, 2010).
As Grant (1991) describes an organizations most important resources and capabilities are those which are durable, difficult to identify and understand, imperfectly transferable, not easily replicated, and in which the firm possesses clear ownership and control. These type of employees are the people who are unique and need to be protected and retained also they play a vital role in the competitive strategy within a company. The heart of strategy preparation is to design a strategy that makes the most effective use of those identified resources and skills.


Why do we need employee resourcing strategies?
The main ambition of SHRM is to ensure that a company reaches competitive advantage by attracting and retaining more capable people than its rivals and employing them more effectively. These people will have a wider and deeper range of skills and will behave in ways that will maximize their contribution. The organization attracts such people by being ‘the employer of choice’. It retains them by providing better opportunities and rewards than others and by developing a positive psychological contract that increases commitment and creates mutual trust. Furthermore, the organization deploys its people in ways that maximize the added value they create.
Reddington et al (2005) support this idea by introducing some clear decisions regarding the areas that human resources professionals as well as organizations need to consider.

− Understand the business and be respected as business people.
− Able to contribute to the development and execution of strategy.
− Act as internal advisors, able to build strong client relationship skills.
− Communicate and demonstrate value through each involvement made with clients.
− Influence rather than relying on positional power.
