...practitioners. From an applicant's perspective, obtaining a job interview is fundamental to job search success. Structured Interview Components Campion et al. 1997 studied methods of enhancing interview structure and identified two categories, those components that (1) relate to the interview's content and (2) relate to the evaluation process. Components influencing content: 1. Base questions on job analysis 2. Ask exact same questions of each candidate 3. Limit prompting, follow up questioning and elaboration on question 4. Use better types of questions 5. Use longer interview or larger number of questions 6. Control ancillary information 7. Do not allow questions from candidate until after the interview Components influencing evaluation process 8. Rate each answer or use multiple scales 9. Use detailed anchored rating scales 10. Take detailed notes 11. Use multiple interviewers 12. Use same interviewers across all candidates 13. Do not discuss candidates or answers between interviews 14. Provide extensive interview training 15. Use statistical rather than clinical prediction Other researchers have also proposed a three-dimensional model of interview structure that corresponds to the life cycle or process of an interview; that is, from developing the interview, to conducting it and then using the information gathered. The three factors are: (a) job relatedness of the interview, (b) standardization of...

...employment cycle consists of “identifying staffing needs, job analysis, recruitment, selection, employment arrangements and remuneration”. Considering that I have been given the task for conducting the recruitment and selection process; I would begin by determining what the company’s staffing needs are. Forecasting Labor Supply and Demand. Gomez-Mejia et.al (2016) discusses the human resources labor supply and demand. Labor supply is defined as “the availability of workers with the required skills to meet the firm’s labor demand. In other words the labor supply consists of the employees that already work for the company who have the capability to perform the job as outlined in the job description. Labor demand is defined as the amount of workers the company will need in the future to meet the needs of the company (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin, & Cardy, 2016, p. 155) .According to Lunenburg ( 2012) the planning function of the human resource management process consist of “defining an organization’s goals, establishing a strategy for achieving those goals, and developing a comprehensive set of plans to integrate and coordinate activities” (Lunenburg, 2012) .Once I identify my staffing needs, the next steps would be to conduct a job analysis, develop a recruitment plan, make a selection and establish employment type and pay.

...Volume 5, Number 2 Impact Of Job Analysis On Job Performance: Analysis Of A Hypothesized Model Rehman Safdar, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), Pakistan Ajmal Waheed, Quaid-e-Azam University, Pakistan Khattak Hamid Rafiq, National University of Modern Languages, Pakistan ABSTRACT Researchers have developed a relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance, but the relationship between HRM practice like job analysis – employee Job performance remains unexplored. This paper, based on a study of employees of Pakistan Public sector regulatory authorities of telecommunication, oil and gas, power, media, security exchange, banking sector and organizations being regulated by these authorities is an attempt to develop and test a hypothesized model linking HR importance of job analysis with employee job performance. Survey results of 568 employees indicated that practice of job analysis was strongly related to employee job performance. The findings suggest that an organisation-wide policy of job analysis is an important source of competitive advantage in its own right, and requires due attention of HR professionals. The study extends the findings of the HR–employee job performance research pursued in Western countries to a non-Western context.

...Methods of recruitment and selection and its impact on corporate culture and processes. Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them; they are not just lying around on the surface. -Ken Robinson “…while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stand the test of time… is people.” -Mark Salsbury, Human Capital Management: Leveraging your Workforce for competitive advantage. Creating and sustaining a corporate culture that truly emphasizes people starts with hiring a particular kind of person. Locating, attracting, and hiring people that thrive within an organization is always a challenge, regardless of size of the company, industry, or state of the economy. “Having right people at right time at right place” is the key to the success of every organization. Therefore, recruitment and selection is considered to be the central function of Human Resources Management. Today more than ever, organizations, given the latest technology and physical assets, cannot compete without having its qualified, rare, and unique talent supply. Acquiring and optimizing a talented workforce is a strategic process that begins with planning and continues throughout the recruitment process. “Recruitment is a process of identifying and attracting a group of potential candidates from within and outside the organization to evaluate for employment.” It entails...

How can a hospital attract top talent retain at the same time and keep the cost down? With the amount of competitors available it is a race to locate the best employees that you can acquire. Human Resources have become a major component in this field because of the role that they play in assisting managers and directors with their employment needs. After doing some research I found and article that was wrote about a medical center faced with the exact challenges. Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) was faced with the ongoing issues of recruitment and retention of employees and the huge cost that came with it.

Orientation and training increases...

...Function 2: Recruitment and selection of employees Recruitment of staff should be preceded by: An analysis of the job to be done (i.e. an analytical study of the tasks to be performed to determine their essential factors) written into a job description so that the selectors know what physical and mental characteristics applicants must possess, what qualities and attitudes are desirable and what characteristics are a decided disadvantage; • In the case of replacement staff a critical questioning of the need to recruit at all (replacement should rarely be an automatic process). • Effectively, selection is 'buying' an employee (the price being the wage or salary multiplied by probable years of service) hence bad buys can be very expensive. For that reason some firms (and some firms for particular jobs) use external expert consultants for recruitment and selection. • Equally some small organizations exist to 'head hunt', i.e. to attract staff with high reputations from existing employers to the recruiting employer. However, the 'cost' of poor selection is such that, even for the mundane day-to-day jobs, those who recruit and select should be well trained to judge the suitability of applicants. The main sources of recruitment are: • Internal promotion and internal introductions (at times desirable for morale purposes) • Careers officers (and careers masters at schools) • University appointment boards • Agencies for the unemployed • Advertising...
