The article contained several strengths and weaknesses. The strengths of the material were its step by step explanation of a successful recruitment process, its emphasis of the necessity to pool talented people, and its explanation of what potential resources to utilize when an organization needs to acquire human capital. The step by step explanation of a successful recruitment process was listed in numerical order and easy to follow. This would make it easy to implement and measure in an organization. The material also emphasized how important it is to pool talented people. I believe this is important for careful replacement and succession planning. This is important, because if a position is vacant it is not making the organization a profit. Therefore, it should be filled immediately. The explanation of what sources an organization can utilize to acquire human capital was resourceful and creative. The article explained the how important suppliers, customers, former employees, employment agencies and associates can be when a vacant position needs to be filled. It made me realize that talented people don’t always appear in the front office with a resume in their hand. And that existing relationships with others should be utilized to find talented prospective employees.
The weaknesses of the article were its lack of
Recruitment refers to hiring a best qualified person for a job opening in a cost efficient and timely manner. This process comprises evaluating the job requirement, attracting the candidates, screening and short listing the qualified applicants, employing and incorporating them with new teams. Talent is the most important assert for any business. Talent Management, which includes recruitment, is a crucial part for any organization’s growth (Limor, 2013).
The objective is to address the needs and the concerns of the organization to develop an effective method to recruiting. This method must be beneficial economically, as well as, productive in recruiting the best possible talent needed. A strategy must be developed along with a guide that will be shared by all locations and at all levels. In creating this method, different forms of recruiting will be employed to ensure that the target audience is reached effectively.
According to Wright et al (2011) recruitment and selection are part of the human resource practices common within organizations in an effort to develop human capital, which is necessary for better production. Numerous scholars have discussed the issue in different contexts. Pramila (2010) discussed the issue of recruitment and selection in an Indian- based company. The article presents effective recruitment practices, which are valuable for organizations. Among the identified practices include internal recruitment, interviews, personality tests, employer references, succession planning, and newspaper recruitment. According to Najafi (2011) the most important aim is to achieve an improvement in their recruitment and selection. With information provided in this article, the researcher is able to advance a thorough understanding of the different issues on improving recruitment and selection processes within organizations.
Recruitment is vital to the success of your organization. This process will determine your workforce. As mentioned in our prior recommendation it is important to hire employees that share the organizations goal of successfully expanding into a new market, while continuing to provide our clients with superior service. The human capital theory suggests that education or training raises the productivity of workers by imparting useful knowledge and skills, hence raising workers' future income by increasing their lifetime earnings (Becker, 1964).
Recruitment provides opportunities for the organisation, even the individual’s development. Understand our business need is the way we used to develop position description.(“Recruitment – 10 Key Steps To Getting The Right Person, First Time!,” n.d.) Proper evaluation and description will lead the business to hiring the right person to fit the job.
Recruiting can be viewed as a screening process. This is especially true during periods of high unemployment, when the job market is characterized by an oversupply of talent. Under these conditions, the recruiting function in an organization is to eliminate unqualified people as much as to seek out talent. To improve the quality of an overall recruiting process, each step of the process must be designed to maximize the probability that the candidate ultimately selected meets the expectations of the hiring manager. One way to do this is to maximize the chances that an unqualified candidate is screened out at each step. The following are some key areas in which to focus on quality (Ibid.).
The objective of this report is to identify and assess four factors that affect an organisations approach to both attracting talent and recruitment and selection. I will also be looking at attracting and retaining a diverse workforce and the different methods of recruitment and selection.
Employers and recruiters employ various strategies in meeting the required recruitment goals. To hire the best human resource requires that the human resource department employs recruit methods to target the specific personnel. Human resource professionals are charged with the recruiting responsibility in almost all organizations. However, this role is also delegated to staffing agencies, hiring managers, and principal company chiefs such as directors. Recruitment agencies are branches that a business uses to do the hiring process on their behalf. Recruitment agencies save a business entity the struggle of reviewing applications and curriculum vitae. Recruitment entails the entire process of sourcing,
Workers in healthcare systems are putting their patients well-being before their own, on a daily basis, yet not much is being done for the workers. An effective recruitment and selection process is the key to keeping employee retention rates high. In an environment where lives are at the stake of others, healthcare staffing can’t be unstable. It’s almost as if there is a revolving door, employees are constantly leaving yet, the number of patients needs are increasing dramatically. So now, hospitals need to focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of their hiring processes.
Companies are made by people, so their success depends on the talent of its people. That is why finding and retaining qualified candidates is crucial to an organization. Hiring a worker has a number of basic decisions in planning and management of the human resources department. Over the course of this Session Long Project I will discuss the criteria when to place a candidate on the hiring shortlist, the tradeoff between the time taken on the selection process and the cost, the considerations the business should give to the application process, the considerations that should be taken during the interview process and the final decision of offering the job.
At the same time, many of the traditional methods of recruitment and selection are being challenged by the need for organizations to heading the increased complexity, greater ambiguity and rapid pace of change in the contemporary environment. (Cole, 2004). The new employees are recruited to meet the requirements of the company in order to realize its objectives and select the best employees who are good to do the right job required by the company and by giving
Recruiting and retaining employees of the highest quality is the main focus in any human resource department. There are many important qualities that employers are looking for when going through the hiring process. It is equally important that the organization provide equal opportunities for the employee’s professional growth and advancement. The recruitment process require scrutinizing the requirements of a job, enticing employees to apply for that job, screening and selecting applicants, hiring, and incorporating the new member to the team.
HR managers will be faced with the challenges of recruiting and retaining the right employees for their organization. The first step would be identifying your organizational culture and the cultural and skill competencies required for success. This will give the recruiters the guidelines by which to assess viable candidates. In developing these objectives for creating an effective recruitment process, we will have to have in place a process that differentiates us from other companies. This strategy for success will provide candidates with sufficient and correct information about job expectations. The following will be address as part of the strategy:
