RECRUITMENT
AND SELECTION
when
there is a vacancy
in a company, it is the job of the Personnel Manager and his
department manage
the recruitment
of a new employee.
One way an organization can find staff
for jobs
vacancies is to recruit in company.
Management can inform people of new appointments
by means of the firm's notice
board or
news
bulletin.
Another
possibility
is to ask for recommendations from departamental managers and
supervisors. If it is necessary to recruit outside the company, the
personnel department may use commercial and goverment employment
offices or consultants. It may prefer to put its own advertisement in
a newspaper or magazine.
It
is usual for an advertisement
to give a short description
of the job, conditions
of work
and salary,
and to invite introductory
letter
from applicants.
After studying these, management decides
who receives an application
form.
In
order to assess
the applications, managers can work from a personnel specification
such as Rodger's
Seven-Points Plan.
They
do not choose applicants who do not have a good profile. For this
reason, it is i mportant that the application form request clear
information about such thing as the applicant's age, education,
qualifications and work expirience. It must also ask for references
from other employers or people who know the applicant well. This
information helps management to make a final decision on the number
of applicants they can short-list for interview.
The
staff who hold and interview together are called an interview
'panel'. It is important that they know what information they need to
get from the applicants. This comes from a careful reading of job
description, personnel specifications, and applications. To help the
panel in their selection, some companies use an interview assessment
form. This is used by the panel during the interview when each
applicant is checked under the same point on the form.
Many
employers say that the success of a good business begins in the
Personnel Manager's office.
