The goals of a recruitment process within a school district are to identify all viable applicants and to motivate individuals to seek employment within your district. The importance of recruitment within a district lies heavily on the change in dynamics as it relates to federal legislation and such. There have been so many more demands placed on districts and teachers that finding the best possible candidate for a position is of upmost importance. The reliance on old ways of recruiting is no longer always effective either. “Walk-ins” are not always as available as in the past, there are more buy-outs and turnovers within current staff, new positions are always being created to meet the higher demands, and special talents are needed to …show more content…
In order to determine any internal factors a diversity analysis can be conducted. This assessment will most likely reflect the number of protected class persons employed within a school district. It may also show the type of positions the protected class persons hold.
Permissive employment policies are those policies that are not federally mandated, however they should be written in order for some situations to be clear, concise, and enforceable. Permissive policies require no definitive stance but provide a district with options for informing the recruitment process as well as legitimize it in regards to your school district’s norms and expectations. Examples of these policies can include nepotism, conflicts of interest, credentialing, residency requirements, and probationary periods.
The next step in the recruitment process would be to derive a job description. An initial step to this is to conduct a job analysis. A job analysis is used for collecting and summarizing information according to established guidelines. The information obtained also sets standards and performance expectations for employees assigned to these positions. Several different procedures or sources can be used in this process. Included in these are interviews, observations of the actual job, questionnaires, supervisory input, published literature, and the use of experts. Once this job analysis is
Organizations are growing in size each and every day, which in turn creates a high demand for employees. This outcome, however, needs a systematic approach to determine the right employee for the right position. The process has become so large that organizations need specialized help from Human Resource Management (HRM) departments to ensure that the requirements of the position are met. Therefore, the HRM department provides the function of job analysis in order to select the right individual for the position. "Job analysis is a complex and vital part of every HRM program, as well as an important systematic process used within an organization to determine future members of the workforce." Job analysis
Once Job Analysis is complete, the next step is to define the responsibilities of the candidate to meet the needs of the position. Job description is basically a list of the tasks required of the employee holding the particular position defined in the job analysis. A Complete job description will include level of responsibility and the expected outcome. Once these attributes are defined and documented, finding the ideal candidate will become easier and more precise.
The Objective of this document is to outline a hiring procedures manual that a Human Resource Department for a school district might use to hiring an employee. Hiring is arguably the most important function of the HR Department and a set of procedures should be in place to make the steps move in an efficient manner.
Mr. Killingsworth discussed some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 to recruit and hire a diverse group who are focused on student achievement, no matter what position they are hired for. His goal during recruitment is to find the candidates that fit the descriptions of what his principals need. Some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 include: school websites, Facebook, and branding. Branding is use of the district logo so candidates know who they are when you see their logo. At job fairs his job is to meet, greet and brand. LinkedIn is one of the target groups District 11 uses for passive candidates. When marketing for a particular school Mr. Killingsworth reminds administrators to always shed a positive light on their school.
The job analysis is consisting of job description and person specification. Job description requires about the profile of the perfect job candidate and requires about the skills, knowledge, experience and competencies, which are essential. And person specification
Job analysis is essential as successful recruitment process relies on the effectiveness of this analysis in human resource management process (Caruth et al 2009:96-9). Job analysis collects relevant information pertaining the vacant customer services manager position, and is normally prepared by the HR manager. Job analysis can be structured into two, which is job description and job/person specification. Job description is then designed from the information gathered from Job analysis. Job description highlights the overall details and duties of the customer services manager position whilst job specification on the other hand assesses the qualities and skills required based on the criteria of the customer services manager position. Job description’s main focuses include the job title, responsibilities, remuneration and working hours, while job specification’s main focuses include qualifications, experiences, skills, and other accomplishments gained such as from trainings. The whole purpose of job analysis is to implement changes in the position structure to match certain requirements of the vacant customer services position. Job descriptions should be examined from time to time, as reflecting on an existing job description may be misleading as the customer services manager position may have changed over the years since the current customer services manager is nearing retirement, hence the necessary changes needs to
In general, the different arguments from different scholars are critical in enhancing further understanding of the issue of recruitment and selection. From the different arguments advanced in this article a number of gaps are identified that foster the need for further research in this field of study. The information derived from the respective scholarly works are also valuable in the sense that they help the research answer some of the research questions for this study and identify
For example, if we need a math teacher, we must study the labour market in our area to see if there are available teachers who have the necessary education in math. Recruiting New Staff I would post the job opening(s) on our school website, in teacher magazines and websites, on an on-line recruiting site, and possibly on teacher college campuses. I could also hire an employee search firm, which would be one of my last options at it is more expensive than the other options. Selecting New Staff After examining all applications, I will conduct interviews with the teachers I deem most qualified and/or experienced for the position. Once I have decided who I am hiring, I will check their references to ensure the information provided on their application is reliable (very important for employees working with children).

The first step for this assignment is to describe the specific job analysis procedure that I would utilize to develop the job description for the HR manager position. To begin, the definition of a job analysis provided in our textbook is: “Job analysis is the systematic process of collecting information that identifies similarities and differences in the work.” (Milkovich, Newman, & Gerhart, 2014, p. 103). I also found a definition on HR-Guide.com that summarize an important description of the job analysis. The website states; “Job Analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and requirements and the relative importance of these duties for a given job. Job Analysis is a process where judgements are made about data collected on a job. The Job; not the person; An important concept of Job Analysis is that the analysis is conducted of the Job, not the person. While Job Analysis data may be collected from incumbents through interviews or questionnaires, the product of the analysis is a description or specifications of the job, not a description of the person.” ("Job Analysis: Overview," 1998, p. 1) The peer reviewed journal article “Evaluation of job analysis methods by experienced job analysts” defines it as “Job analysis is a process by which jobs are subdivided into elements, such as tasks, through the application of a formalized, systematic procedure for data collection, analysis, and synthesis. (Sistrunk, 1983, p. 1). All these authors

Job analysis is a fundamental part of the practice of industrial/organizational psychology. Analyzing a job involves the determination of what tasks make up a job, the tasks’ relative importance, and what knowledge, skills, and abilities are necessary to successfully carry out those tasks. Job analysis results may be utilized for a variety of personnel management purposes but are especially important for selection and promotional decisions. Job analysis is undertaken prior to selection and
The goal of selection programs are to capitalize on individual differences in order to select the applicants who possess the greatest amount of particular characteristics that have been assess to be the most important for job success (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011). This goal can be met by utilizing a classical approach to personnel selection. The classical approach to personnel selection starts with the job analysis. From the job analysis sensitive, relevant and reliable criteria are selected on a basis of importance to describe the job specifications that represent knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics (KSAOs) that potential applicants are desired to have for the job (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011).
According to the passage, we read the principle can do his hiring to convenient himself or he can just pick from the list that the district provides. I believe the principal needs to think of his school as a game of chess. A principal needs to place the right people in the right roles. A principal wants to know his teachers and administration. He needs to know what they can handle and what they have accomplished in their careers. In addition, he needs to know about their life style and see what issues individual might be facing and if they are trying to progress as a teacher. He might have individuals who are hanging on to retire. Which is ok, if they do their job. However, he does not need individuals who are disgruntle and tend to rub off negativity views on new employees. A principal wants individuals who want to grow and has set goals for themselves. He does not need stagnant individuals who want
