Recruitment & Selection
This course enables staff and management to identify the right candidate when employing personnel for your business. We tutor designated staff on analysing application forms, cvs, interview techniques and the essential qualities to look for when hiring applicants for your business
Recruitment – (synonymous with "hiring" in American English) – refers to the overall process of attracting, selecting and appointing suitable candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an organization.
Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for unpaid positions, such as voluntary roles or unpaid trainee roles.
Managers, human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment, but in some cases public-sector employment agencies, commercial recruitment agencies, or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process.
Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread.
Screening and selection
Recruiters typically assess suitability for a job by looking for a candidate with the KSAOs (see above) desirable for that job. They determine these via one or more of:
-
Screening résumés or curriculum vitae (CVs)
-
Job applications
-
Biographical information
blank—assessments that ask for a more extensive background than applications
Job interviews
Various psychological tests can assess a variety of KSAOs, including literacy.
Assessments are also available to measure physical ability. Recruiters and agencies may use applicant tracking systems to filter candidates, along with software tools for psychometric testing and performance-based assessment.
In many countries, employers are legally mandated to ensure their screening and selection processes meet equal opportunity and ethical standards.
Rising above the minimum
Some employers seek to go further than the bare minimum of "equal opportunity awareness" among hiring staff, by specifically seeking to create diversity in their workforces.
Employers are likely to recognize the value of candidates who encompass soft skills such as interpersonal or team leadership.
Many companies, including multinational organizations and those that recruit from a range of nationalities, are also often concerned about whether candidates fits the prevailing company culture.
