...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...

...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. Job Analysis. This involves the identification of the job description and the job specification. The job description outlines the duties and responsibilities...

...RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES MANAGING/EFFECTING THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS By Margaret A. Richardson ABSTRACT Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the activities that impact most critically on the performance of an organisation. While it is understood and accepted that poor recruitment decisions continue to affect organisational performance and limit goal achievement, it is taking a long time for public service agencies in many jurisdictions to identify and implement new, effective hiring strategies. In some areas, existing laws inhibit change; in others, the inhibiting factor is managerial inertia. This paper discusses some of the strategies that organisations can and do employ to ensure the existence of the best possible pool of qualified applicants from which they can fill vacancies as and when required. It will identify the advantages of each of the strategies, highlight the drawbacks of its use and offer suggestions for ensuring its utility. 2 INTRODUCTION Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organisation’s success. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive and the available skills grow more diverse, recruiters need to be more selective in their choices, since poor recruiting decisions can produce long-term negative effects, among them high training and development costs to minimise the incidence of poor performance and high turnover which, in turn, impact staff morale, the production of high quality goods and services...

...OVERVIEW ON THE THEORY OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS AND THE USE OF SELECTION TOOLS November 2015 PETER HORVATH CASS BUSINESS SCHOOL – MEMBASTUDENT NUMBER: 150000247 | Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 The Focus of this Paper 3 Recruitment Process 3 Selection Tools 6 Recommendations for My Firm 7 References 8 Executive Summary Human capital is a potential source of firms’ competitive advantage. To capitalize on this, firms must understand the structure and the different aspects of the recruitment process and selection, and put in place a recruitment strategy, which sets out objectives, specifies recruitment activities, and takes into consideration intervening variables to accomplish the desired recruitment outcomes. In this process, firms are strongly advised to apply an individually tailored combination of selection tools with the highest overall validity. Based upon the findings of this paper, to improve my firm’s HR practice I recommend to (1) plan the recruitment and selection process and form a strategy, (2) combine various selection tools, (3) keep accurate records and (4) avoid all forms of discrimination. The Focus of this Paper In my firm, decision makers neither understand the strategic significance of recruitment and selection nor use any academic findings and best practices to overcome stuffing challenges.

I know in the company that I work for in which I am the Director of HR/Payroll of a management group for eight places; one fireplace/landscape business, three donut shops, and.five assisted living facilities; we have general guidelines of posting jobs and process for recruiting but then there are many things that then must be specific to the industry of those business. I also did research and found that many have the same issues we do and what they feel is the key things to know for doing recruiting. In the management group we have developed a HR manual which has policy and procedures that must be followed for doing the steps for recruitment and the follow through to get the candidates hired. As I have attached a copy of the request for recruitment form, job requisition form and the job duties questionnaire and the job description form which are the tools we use to get positions approved and filled for the company in Appendix A. There is a step-by-step for doing the recruiting and where to post the jobs.
