Recruitment

Recruitment includes how you decide you need someone to do a job or replace a leaver.  The job or role description with its Key Result Areas and main areas of responsibility and authority.  It's best to avoid a long list of tasks as these change over time and you don't want someone restricted to only those taks on the list.  Better to describe the scope of the job and the outcomes or outputs you expect.

What sort of person do you need to do this job or role?  Typically you would write a Person Specification outlining the:

  • Education requirements
  • Experience required 
  • Skills and Abilities needed
  • Knowledge necessary
  • Personal Attributes and Motivation 

You need a Recruitment Policy with practical guidelines and the necessary forms and letter templates to help managers recruit and select people so that you get the right people in the right job at the right time. And all within the law.
