Unit 2: Business resources
P1: Within this assignment I will be looking into the recruitment documentation needed in a selected organisation. The organisation I will be assessing is Asda.
Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within Asda that focuses on recruitment, management, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers.
Human Resource Management is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training.
Human Resource Management is a process of managing manpower through proper selection, training and assigning right tasks to suitable persons in an organization.
This is the recruitment documentation used in Asda:
Firstly the human resources team decide what job is needed due to lack of staff and they look into what the colleague will have to do. This is called job analysis.
Next is the job description and this describes what tasks the colleague will be undertaking. Along with this is the job specification and in this it describes what characteristics and skills are required for the role.
After this they have to attract applicants and to do this they have to advertise the job internally and externally, the applicants apply through an application form or a CV. This tends to include this: Name

Telephone
Employment history to present day
Names and addresses of TWO referees (one should be the most recent employer)
Qualifications (if applicable)
When the applicant will be available for work
How many hours per week the applicant is willing to work
