• Finding Good Candidates

  • The proper start to a recruitment effort is to perform a job analysis, to document the actual or intended requirement of the job to be performed.
  • This information is captured in a job description and provides the recruitment effort with the boundaries and objectives of the search.
  • These job descriptions need to be reviewed or updated prior to a recruitment effort to reflect present day requirements.
  • Starting a recruitment with an accurate job analysis and job description ensures the recruitment process effort starts off on a proper track for success.
  • After the job analysis, the process moves onto sourcing, which involves 1) advertising, a common part of the recruiting process, often encompassing multiple media, such as the Internet, general newspapers, job ad newspapers, professional publications, window advertisements, job centers, and campus graduate recruitment programs; and 2) recruitment research, which is the proactive identification of passive candidates who are happy in their current positions and are not actively looking to move companies.

• Evaluating recruiting policies

  • To evaluate recruitment policies, the concept of a yield ratio is often used.
  • This calculates the efficiency of recruitment practices by taking the number of hirable individuals resulting from a recruitment policy divided by the total number of individuals recruited by the same policy (Kulik, 2004).
  • However, it is still an extremely useful measure as it offers insight into the ability of a recruitment policy and whether it needs to be modified.
  • No matter how a company decides to recruit, the ultimate test will remain the ability of a recruitment strategy to produce viable applicants.
  • In some countries, such as the United States, the selection procedures are subject to Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines (Recruitment).

  • The recruiter will meet with the hiring manager to obtain specific position and type information before beginning the process.
