Recruitment, Interviewing and Selection

Recruitment and selection is the process of identifying the need for a job, defining the requirements of the position and the job holder, advertising the position and ‎choosing the most appropriate person for the job. Retention means ensuring that once the best person has been recruited, they stay with the business and they are ‎not "head hunted" by rival companies.‎ Placing the right people in the right jobs reduces the staff turnover rate and the costs involved with constant recruitment.

Time spent focusing on this activity alone is ‎time well spent and an investment in the future of the organization. Recruitment training is vital and will help boost the confidence of the recruiters as well as ‎improving the caliber of the workforce.‎ Undertaking the process of recruitment & selection is one of the main objectives of management. Indeed, the success of any business depends to a large extent on ‎the quality of its staff. Recruiting employees with the correct skills can add value to a business and recruiting workers at a wage or salary that the business can afford, ‎will reduce costs. Employees should therefore be carefully selected, managed and retained, just like any other resource.
