P1 - The processes involved in recruitment planning

I have chosen to look at Cheadle College and Tesco for my businesses. October 2004 the college changed its name to CAMSFC (Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College.It was the largest further education college in the country in 2004, with around 9001 students. In 2011, the college commenced a consolidation of the two sites in Marple, entering into talks with Asda, aiming to sell the Hibbert Lane campus, leaving just the Buxton Lane campus in use. Tesco PLC is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer headquartered in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. It is the third largest retailer in the world measured by profits and second-largest retailer in the world measured by revenues. It has stores in 12 countries across Asia and Europe and is the grocery market leader in the UK (where it has a market share of around 28.4%), Ireland, Hungary, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Reasons for recruitment

There are many different reasons that the college and Tesco may decide to recruit someone to a position. The most common reason for someone leaving to go and work for another company, and there position needs to be filled. The person being recruited by Tesco or the college may need to work temporary or permanently. A person recruited to cover another employee when they go on to maternity leave if they are ill for a long time and their work needs to be done by someone else. This is known as a temporary contract.

Business like Tesco are expanding all the time, therefore Tesco will have vacancies in another area or even country. Tesco would need to find additional employees to work for them and provide and training for them.
