Top managers in the Hilton hotel are responsible for the recruitment process. In recruitment process first step is planning of job specification for the vacant posts in the Hilton hotel. In that recruitment process the major role of the managers is to decide the skills, qualifications, and grade as well as pay structure etc. In Hilton hotel the recruitment can be done from external and internal environment. External recruitment is done through advertisement, college campus visit, calling the callers as well as direct recruitments. Here we have certain benefits for the Hilton hotel of external recruitment like- employees of Hilton hotel will be able to have a large pool of candidates, employees will be able to get the fresh candidates with innovative thinking and ideas as well and employees will also be able to find out the most suitable and qualified employees for the organisation. Whereas, the internal recruitment can be done through the transfer of employees from one department to another, employee referrals and promotions etc. Internal recruitment in the Hilton hotel can be formal and informal.

In Hilton hotel by analysing the current scenario of employees; upcoming needs can be analysed. It is necessary to conduct time to time. After that the management takes decisions that gap should be fulfilled through external or internal sources. In Hilton hotel, recruitment is done by externals sources i.e. conducting interviews in colleges, placing advertisements in magazines and newspapers and employees referrals the pool is generated of candidates. On the other hand Hilton hotel also fill the gap of demand and supply of the employees through internal sources. That includes promotions in the departments, transfers and internal advertisements. Internal sources must be supervised by the top level management so that can prevent the any kind of discrimination in the organisation. As it is given that hotel needs more employees because it is providing more services to its service seekers like, barber shop, gift shops, spa and fitness centres and so on. After that the management of the Hilton hotel analyse the matching of demand and supply of the employees(Mahmood, 2015). At the time of short supply of employees the hotel needs to put more effort to fulfil the gap so that efficiency as well as affectivity can be managed in the hotel. On the contrary when the demand of employees is less and supply of employees is abandoned the management of the hotel has to manage the workforce accordingly. At the last the Hilton hotel management has to implement the action plan regarding the demand and supply. Demand and supply is also based on the seasons. In a particular season like in winters or summers the hotel needs more employees to provide services to its guests.In a particular season the hotel management needs to manage the demand and supply of the workforce so that goodwill and customer loyalty can be managed(GICA, 2012).
