Staffing is the process by which organizations meet their human resources needs, including forecasting future requirements, recruiting and selecting candidates, and orienting new employees. Some organizations deliberately seek to attract, hire, and retain certain types of people-resulting in the image of a stereotypical employee. For example, a soft-drink company hires college graduates who are assertive overachievers, who are risk takers, and who respond positively to intense pressure to reach sales and cost goals. At another company, where most of the work is defense-related, the preference is to hire people with military experience.
