How To Do A Correct Recruitment?

By Vandana Dhawan


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 the closing date of the vacancy advertisement, launch an initial screening process to select suitable applications. Select all the applicants who fulfill the minimum qualifications.

Before asking selected candidates to come for physical interviews, you can do an initial interview over the phone. Make sure to examine the way they respond and talk. Ask their expectations. This process will help you to sort a set of candidates who can be called for physical interviews.

During the physical interviews, make sure to check their capabilities to fulfill the job requirement. Check for previous experiences and educational qualifications. Use the interviews to check their personality and attitudes. Use assessment criteria to evaluate all candidates. You can conduct more than one interview according to the job position. Generally, more than one interview will be conducted for higher level job positions.

After selecting the right person, offer him the job with a proper training. He should know his new job responsibilities and duties.

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.
