Recruitment And Selection Process – Reasons For Its Importance
You will find that any successful business will have at its core efficient and caring employees who have complete job satisfaction and a perfect fit for the jobs they are entrusted with. This is not an easy task to accomplish and full credit goes to the selection and recruitment processes that the company has in place. On the contrary, if these processes are not handled efficiently, the wrong sort of lethargic employee appointments can prove fatal even to a well established business.
It is of utmost importance for an employer to be absolutely clear on what they expect an employee to be. The skills required for the job should be enumerated as precisely as possible. Transferable skills which the company could use also deserve a mention. So the chances of zeroing in on the right candidate increase greatly if the vacancy advertised is very specific as to the requirements. If recruitment agency service is opted for by the employer, the agency or the consultant should get very precise instructions from the employer.
It is necessary that an exact framework for shortlisting applicants for a vacancy is formulated in advance. This is the first step of the selection and recruitment process. This entails that the emloyers are very clear as to what sort of qualifications and experience they expect to see on the CV of the potential employee. The process of selection and recruitment needs to spell out very clearly the absolute requirements vis-a-vis qualifications and qualities necessary to fill the vacancy. Based on this one can shortlist the candidates. The next step is to take a decision on the number of interviews and/or presentation needed to finally select the employee.
If the employers give very concise and accurate description of what they expect the employees to be, the recruitment consultant or the agency can choose a candidate very easily. The recruitment consultant or the agency also needs to have knowledge of the employers in-built processes of selection of the right candidates.
Finally, it is in the fitness of things that a feedback is provided on the interview by the interviewer either to the applicant or the agency through which he has come. Before proceeding with the interview which may or may not be followed by a presentation, the interviewer on behalf of the company should have reached a decision as to what package of remuneration he is willing to offer to the right person. This is a very vital but easily overlooked point in the process of selection and recruitment. The employers would do well to remember that the potential candidate would most definitely be sizing up the prospective employer as well during the selection and recruitment process.
