Recruitment is one of the important human resource functions that should be done by every business organization. It is about attracting, interviewing and hiring new people. During recruitment, every organization is looking to select the best qualified person for a job position. This cannot be achieved if the management or the human resource department follows incorrect recruitment and selection processes. If someone has selected the wrong person to any job position, it can be the end of that business. Therefore, recruitments should be done very carefully. Here is the correct way of doing it.
As the first step, understanding all the details related to vacant job positions is necessary. It should include not only the job responsibilities, but also the working background and the condition of the job. If it is a new position, management should clearly know what they expect from the person who comes to that position. If it is a replacement, they should properly analyze the previous situation. They should know exactly why the previous employee left from the job.
Then, you should look at the advertising options you have. Many people advertise job vacancies in newspapers. However, online advertising is also a great way to find good candidates. There are many online recruitment portals specially designed to advertise job vacancies. Social media advertising is also effective. You can also think about online recruitment agencies. You can select one or few advertising media to place your vacancy advertisements. Make sure to prepare creative advertisements to get the attention of job seekers.
After getting adequate amount of applications, preliminary testing should be done. Consider the lowest qualification for the job and choose all the applications which meet that minimum qualification level.
Before asking applicants for face-to-face interviews, you can do preliminary discussion with them over the phone. Make sure to analyze the way they react and talk. Ask their objectives. This procedure will help you to choose a set of applicants who can be called for face-to-face interviews.
Physical interviews are the only chances you have to check all the attributes of the candidates. Check their abilities, talents, behaviors, previous job experiences and educational backgrounds with proper evidences. You must use an assessment criteria and a scoring process to select the best candidate or candidates. Make sure to use more than one interview sessions if need. This is normally done when recruiting people for management positions.
After offering the job to the right candidate, it is important to give him an exposure on the job and about his responsibilities to make them confident.
No matter how much experience he has, you must give him a proper training about the job because one business culture is different than another.
