Recruitment

Recruitment is the action of finding new people to join an organization or support a cause.

  • The only way to proactively collect high-quality talent is to build an effective talent database. In addition to engaging top talent, a talent database is a highly effective recruitment tool that can improve the most important recruitment parameters such as time, cost and quality of employment.


  • In a perfect world, HR and Marketing work closely together in all recruitment processes, and each job announcement results in many well-qualified candidates. Unfortunately, we are not living in a perfect world, and it is rare for the marketing to become involved when recruiting. Fortunately, marketing efforts are not reserved for marketers, but if you are willing to read a little further, I will give you some tips from the inside.


  • Through my career, I have participated in several group interviews. I can still feel grumpy down the back and evoke the cold sweat that penetrated when I received these summonses. How many will participate? 

     

  • Working with outside recruiters is inevitable at some point in your career. The senior-most searches are often handled by executive recruiters to preserve the confidentiality of the search and to access the broadest pool of candidates. Even mid-level searches or entry-level searches with very specific requirements may be farmed out to recruiting agencies to take advantage of a recruiter’s expertise and network in an area or simply because internal HR handles more of the existing employees, rather than the recruiting.


Recruitment

The process of finding and hiring the best-qualified candidate (from within or outside of an organization) for a job opening, in a timely and cost effective manner. The recruitment process includes analyzing the requirements of a job, attracting employees to that job, screening and selecting applicants, hiring, and integrating the new employee to the organization.
