Assessment Task 2: Recruitment and selection policy and procedures
Healthcare United is an organisation that endeavours to employ the best healthcare professionals. They aim to be the number one Healthcare professionals in Australia, currently employs 1500 Healthcare professionals in VIC and NSW and they wish to widen their operation and open another office in Hobart.

Through a detailed analysis on the recruitment and selection procedure, Healthcare United can improve the procedures and the overall process.

Personnel - HR and managers – the lines of each duty in the selection process are not clearly identified it is uncertain what the managers duties are and what the HR departments are, so is contrary to 2007 guidelines? For example does the Manager short list and short though resumes? Special exemptions to internal recruitment?? This is not in line the EEO legislation. Managers create advertisement with the support of HR for HU newsletter on intranet. Managers send advertisement with the support of HR advertisement to publications department to post on the intranet.
Documentation - I suggest documentation being done for each position vacant and that the position be analysed by the Manager to determine whether the position is still required to be filled by a new employee or for example the duties can be provided and divided amongst current employees or only a part time employee? This should be every time a position becomes vacant. A process with documentation is imperative.
Training and Support
HR is in charge of the whole procedure in 2007 guideline, it should be the manager’s duty with some support from HR as stated in 2012.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Senior managers will sign off on the position description; and give approval of position this is consistent with the 2007 policy.
Position descriptions are developed by managers using a position description template and Senior or HR management to sign off on position description and

As you can see our job description is not too long and there are no lengthy details included we find that this is more appropriate and we do not need to change the job description as often.

To begin with, I would communicate the different roles that we play. I would inform the staff that HR is responsible for setting the process, policies and procedures and clarify management’s role as well. Manager’s roles would be defined along the lines of submitting the request for a position to be filled, providing information to HR so that they can establish criteria for jobs to be filled and taking part in face to face interviews. Managers should also be informed that the final decision of whom to hire is theirs.

Once we understand requirements for the position, then next step is to define ways of meeting those needs. It includes the amount of resources and authority the position provides to fulfill the business need. A job description can be as simple as a list of tasks required by the individual holding the position. Formal job descriptions will include level of responsibility, expected outcome, including reporting line and other interactions. Once expectations, and means of attaining expectations are documented, then sketching ideal candidate will become easier.
