recruitment - introduction
What is recruitment?
Recruitment is an important part of a business' human resource planning.
In all businesses, people are a vital resource - and they need to be managed as such.
The overall aim of the recruitment and selection process is to obtain the number and quality of employees that are required in order for the business to achieve its objectives.
There are three main stages in recruitment:
(1) Identify and define the requirements. This involves the preparation of job descriptions, job specifications and person specifications
(2) Attract potential employees - there are various methods for doing this - which are described in a separate revision note
(3) Select and employ the appropriate people from the job applicants
It is important to appreciate that recruitment is a continuous process - because of:
- Staff departures (e.g. retirements, sackings, resignations)
- Changes in business requirements (e.g. new products, markets, expanded operations)
- Changes in business location (a relocation often triggers the need for substantial recruitment)
- Promotions
Recruitment is becoming more and more important in business. In particular, this reflects the increasing need for a well-motivated and flexible workforce that requires less management supervision.
