    We understand that recruitment is one of the most difficult aspects for an organization, who is looking for potential employees. There are different types of recruitment, but I believe that Tanglewood should use an Open Recruitment process.

Also, it will allow them to recruit employees with different strengths and weaknesses, helping them to create a team work that is supported by all of its members.
