INTRODUCTION
The recruitment and selection of employees is a significant responsibility, which has a direct impact on company performance. An organisation is only as effective as its employees and bad recruitment decisions can lead to poor performance, low productivity, high turnover and increased recruitment costs.
Recruiting staff can be a risky activity with lots of legislation to comply with and where the consequences of getting it wrong could be unlimited amounts of compensation being awarded against the company.
It is therefore important for a company to have a clear process to manage its recruitment activity which takes into account the law and good practice, beginning with identifying the company's requirements through to offer stage, in order to minimise the risk of potential claims and maximise the likelihood of a successful appointment.
Defining requirements
The need to recruit usually arises from either the need to replace a former employee or from the need to fill a new post that has been created through either re-organisation or expansion. Regardless of how the need arises, managers should analyse the requirements of the post fully. Consideration should be given to, amongst others, the duties, the expertise needed, rates of pay, hours and working arrangements.
