Basic Recruitment

The management can achieve its organisational goals by recruiting the right candidate for the available job position. The important objective of recruitment is to attract people in multi-dimensional skills & experiences that suit the present and future organisational needs.

There are many different methods of recruitment. Management may choose a method depending on the type of position, budget and prevailing market conditions. In order to recruit a candidate, the personnel manager has to develop testing programs. These tests help to understand the interests, personality and intelligence of the candidate.

Based on the results of the tests and resume of the applicant, he is then called for an interview. Employers try to check and verify the job applicant’s background information and references before going any further. If everything is good, the candidate is then offered the job, and formal induction of the new employee is carried out by the HR.

The final step in recruitment consists of judging the candidate. Questions related to a candidate’s behaviour, personality, career goals, etc. are asked to ensure he is a perfect fit for the job offered.
