Recruitment and Selection

The term Recruitment and Selection is used to describe the process involved in identifying, attracting, selecting and hiring a new recruit/recruits to join a company. This process can be done by the company itself or by a recruitment agency acting on its behalf. If the company has an HR department then much of the process will be administered and managed by this department. In other cases senior management may take on this responsibility.
The recruitment and selection process follows various stages. They include:
- Identifying a recruitment need.
- Working out the best way to source candidates (i.e. via advertising, a recruitment agency or a search partner).
- Setting up a system to manage and track applications.
- Establishing documentation to be sent out to applicants (i.e. acknowledgement, rejection and interview letters).
- Short-listing applicants to get to an interview short-list.
- Telephone screening and interview stages.
- Testing techniques if applicable.
- The issuing of offers and the management of bringing in the new hire.
Not all of these stages will be relevant to all processes each and every time that a company recruits. For example, if the company retains a recruitment agency to manage the process for them then they will simply brief the agency and then interview towards the end of the recruitment process. If they use internal resources to recruit then more stages may come into play.
