When conducting research on a specific topic, the researcher may decide that people with particular characteristics should be included in the research.\u00a0 If the researcher is having difficulty recruiting people with these characteristics, he\/she may opt to pursue snow ball sampling.\u00a0 This process involves (a) finding participants who meet the characteristics (i.e male teachers in a rural area who teach kindergarten) and (b) contacting these teachers directly to determine if they know of other teachers who have the same characteristics or meet the same criteria.\u00a0 On the other hand, if the researcher can easily find suitable participants for the research this method is not required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif\">To compare, this concept is used in business and specifically in recruitment. \u00a0In some instances, a position may require specific knowledge, skills and abilities that may be difficult to find in most candidates.\u00a0 If a university graduate meets the criteria and is hired, the organization will more often than not go back to the university and request potential candidates because they know these individuals are qualified and have the knowledge, skills and abilities required for the position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif\">Reference<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman, times, serif\">Veletsianos, G.
