Recruitment And Selecting Employees:
Overview
Hiring the wrong person is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make: wasted training, lost output and the cost of starting again. That is why recruitment and selection is treated as a careful process, not a quick decision, and why examiners expect you to know each stage of it.
In this lesson you will learn the difference between recruiting from inside and outside the business, walk through every stage from job analysis to the interview, weigh up full-time against part-time staff, and practise recommending who a firm should employ. You will leave able to judge a hiring decision like a manager.
Objectives
- Recruitment and selection methods
- Difference between internal recruitment and external recruitment
- Main stages in recruitment and selection of employees
- Recommend and justify who to employ in given circumstances
- Benefits and limitations of part-time employees and full-time employees
