Recruitment

Employing the wrong person can be disastrous for an organization, and yet many managers find that they need to recruit and select in a hurry. A key employee has resigned and a replacement is needed urgently. If someone can be appointed quickly perhaps the person leaving can train them before they go? Recruitment is often conducted on the hoof, and selection made on the basis of how soon a candidate could start, or how well they would cope with the urgent project at hand, and too often little thought is given to long-term planning.;Wouldn't it be better to spend a little longer recruiting in order to appoint someone who is ideally suited and who will commit to your organization? This handbook guides the busy manager through every stage of the recruitment process, from the planning stages to recruitment methods, short listing candidates, interview techniques, selecting the ideal candidate and setting them up for the long term. Throughout the text are checklists, hints and tips and sample forms to illustrate each of the topics in context, and each section includes a case study, applying some of the theory in an everyday situation.
