Recruitment & Selection

Where do we begin . . . . . .

One key question we should all ask when considering recruitment is ‘does this job [or these jobs] need to be filled?’

The day-to-day business pressures often force recruitment activity that is unplanned and re-active. But it is only by thorough preparation that you can ensure that expenditure of time, effort and money generates best results.

Think of all the ways of recruiting – are you utilising all those options? Or is your approach not specific enough? Is the scheduling and timing of the recruitment campaign correct?

What will be the impact of this recruitment on other team members / groups? How much work can you do with existing employees to address any concerns or issue of potential conflict?

Remember the induction process for a new employee starts now. Everything your organisation does through this recruitment approach will influence how well people think of you and how attractive your organisation may be to potential employees – and those quality candidates

There are many ways to approach the aspect of recruitment - but one key aspect is that all Job Description and Person Specifications must be appropriate and current to the role.
