  1. Recruitment

  2. The recruitment process The recruitment process is the steps involved when recruiting a new member of staff.

  3. Why have a process? • So all staff do the same thing. • So that the best candidate is appointed. • So that the process is efficient (recruitment is expensive) and gets the best result. • So that recruitment is legal and ethical.

  4. The law and ethics • The law states there must be no discrimination – everyone must have the same opportunity regardless of race or sex or disability. • Ethical recruitment means there is no favouritism – eg all candidates are treated the same and asked the same questions.

  5. Identify the vacancy Draw up a job description Draw up a person specification Advertise the vacancy Shortlist the candidates Interview the applicants Select and appoint the best candidate Steps in the process

  6. First steps • Agree the vacancy – not all vacancies are filled and sometimes a job may be changed before it is advertised again. • Draw up the job description – listing the job title, salary, main duties and responsibilities of the job holder. • Draw up the person specification – listing the essential and desirable skills, qualifications and attributes of the person.

  7. Next steps • Advertise the vacancy – decide where to advertise it. State the job content and the skills, qualifications and attributes required. Say how to apply for the job. • Shortlist applications – select the best applications for interview (usually 5 or 6 maximum).

  8. Finally . . . • Interview the applicants (may include tests and questions) and ‘score’ their performance • Select the best candidate (the top scorer/one who will fit in best with other staff) • Offer the job • If offer accepted, notify unsuccessful candidates.

  9. Differences in processes • In a large organisation, recruitment is undertaken by the Human Resources department. Managers are involved in filling vacancies in their own area. • In a small firm, recruitment is overseen by a manager or supervisor – to ensure the candidate will ‘fit in’.

  10. Analysing and evaluating recruitment processes A good process will result in: • Appropriate job descriptions and person specifications • A clear, appropriate advertisement • A straightforward process for candidates • In-depth interviews by experienced interviewers • Fair treatment for all candidates • The best person being offered the job • Unsuccessful candidates treated courteously
