MANAGING RECRUITMENT
UNDERSTAND HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING IN AN ORGANISATION “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”…..Winston Churchill
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development” have defined human resource planning as…
“a core process of human resource management that is shaped by the organisational strategy and ensures the right number of people with the right skills, in the right place at the right time to deliver short and long term organisational objectives ….without a workforce plan it is impossible to understand how viable it is to execute your chosen business strategy” (Reflections on Workforce Planning – 2010)

The Equality Act of 2010 sets out the detailed requirements that we as an employer must follow and is set out in our standard Code of Practice for recruitment.
It is against the law to discriminate against someone on the grounds of: * Disability * Race/colour * Ethnic or national origin * Sex or sexuality * Marital status * Gender reassignment * Age * Religion or belief
Discrimination can occur both indirectly or directly.

The Employment Rights Act has a significant impact on our recruitment and selection processes as it gives employees certain rights under law as follows: 1. Employment Rights –statutory, contractual, express and implied terms in contracts. 2. Written Particulars – there is an obligation on the employer to provide employees with certain key terms such as salary and holiday. 3. Termination of Employment – the different methods by which employment may be terminated. This is a very important section as it covers the statutory minimum notice period which, if breached, can result in an action for wrongful dismissal. 4.
I will explain, with related examples, why HR professionals are required to manage themselves, groups and teams, manage upwards and across the
The intranets had replaced the old company newsletter, thus had been enhancing the speed, efficiency and effectiveness of organisational communication. There were a large quantity of benefits if the intranets for the organisation. The employees could view company information at any time and from any location, as long as it was updated knowledge and they had access to a computer (Ruclich, 2000). Tony (2002), was in an agreement highlighting that the employees could also discover future employment opportunities that were only advertised internally, thus having gained a competitive advantage of the external job applicants. On the one hand, the doctors who had worked for TEMC would gain the competitive advantage than the external applicants. As a result, the doctors would reduce the turnover in the hospital. On the other hand, the HR managers in the hospital-TEMC would received the skilled employees through intranets. It would also save a lot of money for the hospital with respect to using the intranet advertisement.
Personnel selection is the systematic placement of individuals into jobs. The process of selection follows a methodology to gather information about an applicant in order to determine if the applicant can meet the organizational standards and employment needs. The United States government imposes legal requirements on selection decisions. The selection process must avoid discrimination and provide equal opportunity to employees with disabilities. There are several laws such as The Civil Rights Act of 1991, The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, that impact how the selection process should be governed.
This assignment provides an introduction into recruitment and selection in businesses as to why they recruit, how they recruit and what types of recruitment there are. In order to support my statements and give real life examples of how this recruitment and selection theory links into real life, I will also be speaking of how two major, international organisations (Tesco and Enterprise Rent-A-Car) carry out their recruitment and selection process to make sure they have the right candidates for the right job. I will also be investigating how both, Tesco and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, make the most of recruiting people that already work for them to do a different job within the organisation to retain staff as much as possible, while filling any gaps in Human Resources with people from outside of the organisation. Throughout the report it can be noted how all recruitment and selection processes within an organisation are always though over in such a way that will make the company make the most profit and spend as little as possible in the Recruitment and Selection process as possible, especially that the Recruitment and Selection process can be very costly.
Workforce planning is the process of analysing an organization's likely future needs for people in terms of numbers, skills and locations. It is an essential process in Human Resource Management as it ensures that a firm has the right number of people in the right place, with the right skills at the right time. Workforce planning often has 5 steps. The first step is the ‘Environment Scan’ which involves managers look at why workforce planning is important, the strategic objectives, the internal and external environment.

Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified people for a job at an organization or firm.
In the competitive business environment nowadays, companies need to present themselves as serious players with edges in various aspects, one most important of which is quality of their workforce. The quality of an organization’s workforce ,to some degree, determines how far it can go and this kind of quality depends mostly on an essential element in an organization’s operation, which is human resource management (Martin, J. 2008). Human resource management refers to the management of a company’s working staff, or human resource, including the practices of job analysis,human resource planning,recruitment,selection,human resource development, etc.(Kleynhans, R. 2006). Among all these practices, what is fundamental
Since the takeover of Mansini’s company by a national conglomerate, emerging challenges of Maple Leaf Shoes Ltd. has presented an urgent need for a Human Resources Manager who possess core skills and extensive experience in human resources to handle the short term as well as long term needs of the company. The increasing global competition, labour and production costs, managerial training and employee development activities faced by the company are issues that needed immediate attention, all of which can be handled only by a full time HR manager whose sole responsibility was to manage the hiring, orientation, training, appraisal and compensation of employees.
The key aspects discussed in this paper will center around recruiting strategies. Recruitment can be seen as the process of seeking personnel with a certain set of skills or knowledge to perform a fill in a particular job vacancy (Bethel, 2011). In a time when the emphasis of most organizations has been on efficiently and successfully running an organization, selecting the right person for the job is a top priority. Individuals that is chosen from recruitment ends up being a direct reflection of said organization.
“It has been argued that a strategic approach to human resource planning is required as a foundation to ensure the alignment between an organisation’s competitive advantages? Hr strategies. Using examples, definitions and appropriate theory and models to illustrate your argument, demonstrate the the role of hr planning can play in achieving successful organisational outcomes.”
It is vital to take note of these alterations don't mean our law no more perceives settled term job contracts. Rather, it keeps on remembering them and their advantages; for instance, that they lapse on a concurred end date; that this expiry is not a rejection; and that the business is not required to take after any pre-expiry process with the representative. The special case to this principle is that dependence on the concurred end date to convey a settled term contract to an end will be viewed as a "rejection" where the representative has a sensible desire of proceeded with job. Preceding the alterations, the degree of the desire was reestablishment of the settled term contract and along these lines proceeded with
Outsourcing recruitment processes to an external agency has various demerits but if recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is carried out by a company 's subsidiary then the demerits in involving a third party agency can be overcome and the merits in having an internal company owned recruitment team can be retained. If Tata Consultancy Services were to setup a subsidiary for staffing similar to IBMs Kenexa, then it has to establish an agency that provides recruitment process outsourcing according to the following guidelines in the UK (Hancock, 2012).
Recruitment begins by specifying human resource requirements (numbers, skills mix, levels, time frame), which are the typical result of job analysis and workforce planning activities. Furthermore, strategic business objectives are critically important to the overall recruitment-selection process.
An organizational plan defines the purpose of a company, but a business is lifeless without its people. In order to hire, train, and promote a quality talent pool, managers in a large firm will turn to a Human Resource manager or personnel manager to find potential candidates (Plunkett, Allen & Attner, 2013). Just like most functions within an organization, there is a process for staffing that is made up of eight elements. The eight elements of the staffing process include human resource
