Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function, undertaken by recruiters. It may be undertaken by an employment agency or a member of staff at the business or organization looking for recruits. Advertising is commonly part of the recruiting process, and can occur through several means: through newspapers, using newspaper dedicated to job advertisement, through professional publication, using advertisements placed in windows, through a job center, through campus interviews, etc. It is the two way process; it satisfies the organization strategic requirement. It helps candidates to assess the job, the organization and whether they meet the position requirement.
Effective - producing enough suitable candidates without excess and ensuring the identification of the best fitted for the job and the organization
Fair - ensuring that right through the process decisions are made on merit
RECRUITMENT PROCESS
A vacancy presents an opportunity to consider restructuring, or to reassess the requirements of the job. This assessment is valid whether it is to fill an existing job or a new one. Ask questions such as:
Has the function changed? Have work patterns, new technology or new products altered the job? Are there any changes anticipated which will require different, more flexible skills from the jobholder?
Answers to these questions should help to clarify the actual requirements of the job and how it fits into the rest of the organization or department. Exit interviews, or consultation with the current job-holder and colleagues may well produce good ideas about useful changes. Writing a good job description or job specification helps in the process of analyzing the needs of the job.
Main purpose of the job - try to describe this in one sentence Main tasks of the job - use active verbs, like 'writing', 'repairing', 'machining', 'calculating', instead of vaguer terms like 'dealing with', 'in charge of'
Scope of the job - expanding on the main tasks and the importance of the job. Job importance can be indicated by giving information such as the number of people to be supervised, the degree of precision required and the value of any materials and equipment used.
A good job description is useful for all jobs. It can help with induction and training. It provides the basis for drawing up a person specification - a profile of the skills and aptitudes considered essential and desirable in the job-holder. It enables prospective applicants to assess themselves for the job and provides a benchmark for judging achievements. PERSON SPECIFICATION Drawing up the person specification allows the organization to profile the ideal person to fill the job. It is very important that the skills, aptitudes and knowledge included in the specification are related precisely to the needs of the job; if they are inflated beyond those necessary for effective job performance, the risk is that someone will be employed on the basis of false hopes and aspirations, and both the employer and employee will end up disappointed in each other. Another good reason not to set unnecessary requirements is to avoid any possibility of discrimination against particular groups of potential applicants. The very process of writing a job and person specification should help the employer to develop and implement a policy of equal opportunity in the recruitment and selection of employees. Factors to consider when drawing up the specification include: 12
Skills, knowledge, aptitudes directly related to the job The type of experience necessary The competencies necessary Education and training but only so far as is necessary for satisfactory job performance, unless the person is being recruited on the basis of future potential (e.g. graduate trainees), when a higher level of education may be specified
Any criteria relating to personal qualities or circumstances which must be essential and directly related to the job, and must be applied equally to all groups irrespective of age, sex, race, nationality, creed, disability, membership or non-membership of a trade union. To do otherwise is potentially discriminatory.
The person specification helps the selection and subsequent interview to operate in a systematic way, as bias-free as possible. The use of competency-based approaches can help by focusing on the 'match' between candidate and role, but they are best used where they are an integral part of the continuing assessment and development of staff. PAY After setting the job and the person specifications, consideration should be given to pay rates. Factors such as scales, grades and negotiated agreements, as well as market rates and skills shortages, may affect the wage or salary, and organizations should be aware of the requirements of equal pay and discrimination legislation. Unless there is a formal system for increments or length of service, paying the new employee a different rate from that paid to the preceding post holder may contravene the relevant legislation. Employers must also comply with the
13
provisions of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. The Agricultural Wages Board sets the minimum rates for workers in agriculture.
ATTRACTING APPLICANTS
The search for suitable candidates now begins. The process of marketing needs to be undertaken carefully so as to ensure the best response at the least cost. The object is to get a good selection of good quality candidates. Possible methods to consider are:
TYPES OF RECRUITMENT
INTERNAL RECRUITMENT - this method can have the advantage of building on existing staff's skills and training, and provides opportunities for development and promotion. It is a good way to retain valuable employees whose skills can be further enhanced. Other advantages include the opportunity for staff to extend their competencies and skills to the benefit of both the organization and the individual, and the enhancement of individual motivation.
EXTENAL RECRUITMENT _every organization has to tap external sources for various positions because all the vacm\ncies can not be filled through internal recruitment.the present employee may be insufficient or they may not fulfill the specifications of the jobs to be filled. The various external sources of recruitment are _
COMMERCIAL RECRUITMENT AGENCIES - often specialize in particular types of work, e.g. secretarial, office work, industrial, computing, and may already have potential applicants registered with them
EXECUTIVE SEARCH ORGANIZATIONS - usually working in the higher management/specialist fields, will seek out suitable candidates 14
NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS - advertising in the national press is expensive, but likely to produce a good response for particular, specialist vacancies. Remember too there are national ethnic group newspapers which will reach a wide audience
Specialist and professional journals - less expensive than the national press, these journals can guarantee to reach the precise group of potential applicants for specialist and professional vacancies
INTERNET - is beginning to emerge as a recruitment medium. It is mainly used for graduate-level and technical jobs because it tends to target a self-selected group who are computer literate and have access to the web at their place of study or work. Its use is likely to grow
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, RADIO - for less specialized jobs, or to target groups in a particular local area, advertisements in the local media may produce a good response
Local schools, colleges and the Careers Service - maintaining contact with schools, colleges and careers advisers will ensure that the organizations needs for school/college leavers with particular skills and abilities are known. It can be particularly useful to offer students the opportunity to spend some time at the company, on work experience, or 'shadowing'
WORD OF MOUTH - introduction via existing employees or through an employers' network. Whilst this may be economical, it is likely to lead to a much smaller pool of suitable applicants and does not normally satisfy equal opportunities requirements because any imbalance in the workforce may be perpetuated. The Commission for Racial Equality and the Equal
15
Opportunities Commission both warn against such practices where the workforce is predominantly one sex or racial group.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONSIDER The design and content of any advertisement used
How applicants are to respond - by application form, fax, telephone, in person at the organization or agency, by letter, by email on the Internet, by tape or Braille.
Who is to be responsible for sifting the applications? What is the selection process going to be?
If interviews are to be held, when will they be and will everyone who needs to be involved be available?
Are selection tests to be used? Is there the expertise to administer them and ensure they are non-discriminatory and appropriate?
Are references/medicals to be requested? Are arrangements in hand to give prompt acknowledgement of applications received?
THE ADVERTISEMENT
Any advertisement needs to be designed and presented effectively to ensure the right candidates are attracted. Look through national, local or professional papers and see what advertisements catch the eye. The newspaper office will often advise on suitable formats. Advertisements must be tailored to the level of the target audience, and should always be clear and easily understood. They must be non16
discriminatory, and should avoid any gender or culturally specific language. To support this, the organization should include in the advert its statement of commitment to equal opportunities, which will underline the organization as one that will welcome applications from all sections of the community.
If the organization is well known, does it have a logo that could feature prominently in the advertisement? Make the advertisement consistent with the company image
Should the job title be the most prominent feature? Keep the text short and simple while giving the main aspects of the job, pay, career prospects, location, contract length
Can specific details - such as pay, qualifications and experience required be given in a way, which will reduce the number of unsuitable applications?
Is it possible to avoid generalizations such as 'attractive salary', or 'appropriate qualifications, which may discourage valid applications?
Can you provide job details on tape or in Braille and accept applications in a similar format?
Is the form of reply and the closing date for applications clear? Is there a contact name and phone number for further information and enquiries?
All advertisements should carry the same information, whether for internal or external use.
17
APPLICATION FORMS
Application forms can help the recruitment process by providing necessary and relevant information about the applicant and their skills. The design of the form needs to be realistic and straightforward, appropriate to the level of the job. Using application forms has the following advantages:
Comparing like with like is easier. CVs can be time-consuming and may not provide the information required.
They provide the basis for an initial sift, and then for the interview. The standard of completion can be a guide to the candidate's suitability, if writing and presentation skills are essential to the job; however, is aware of the possibility of disability discrimination.
They provide a record of qualifications, abilities and experience as stated by the applicant.
Care also needs to be taken over some less positive aspects of application forms:
There is a temptation to use application forms to try to extract too much information, e.g. motives, values and personality characteristics. The form should concentrate on the experience, knowledge and competencies needed for the job.
Some people may dislike filling in forms and so be put off applying for the job. Some very experienced people may find the form inadequate, whilst those with little in the way of qualifications or experience may be intimidated by large empty spaces on the form
Application forms add another stage, and therefore more time, to the recruitment process. Some candidates may be lost if they can obtain work elsewhere more quickly. 18
SELECTION
Selection is the process of choosing the best out of the available candidates. It adopts the process through which more candidates are rejected and fewer candidates selected therefore it is also called negative process. In other words, it is the process of picking individuals with requisites qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization.
DEFINITION OF SELECTION
It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. The techniques used are highly specialized. And the outcome of selection process is in the form of finalizing candidates who will be offered job. Interviewing can be carried out by individual (ex superior or departmental managers), by panels of interviews or in the form of sequential interviews by different experts and can vary from a five minute chat to a process of several days, ultimately personal skills in judgment are probably the most important, but techniques to aid judgment include selection testing for: Aptitudes (particularly for school leavers) Attainments General intelligence.
(All of these need skilled testing and assessment) In more senior posts other techniques are; 19

GENERAL INFORMATION The first step is the completion of the employment application a rsum employment/salary history may be substituted for selected positions. The job announcement will clearly state if a rsum will be an acceptable substitute. In either case, this is your initial opportunity to provide information on your qualifications as they relate to the position for which you are applying. Completed applications are initially screened to determine whether an applicant meets the minimum qualifications for the position as outlined in the Job Announcement. Applications of those applicants determined as meeting the minimum qualifications are then reviewed by a Human Resources Analyst and a subject matter expert to determine who is to be invited to continue in the examination process. A limited number of candidates whose applications clearly show that among those competing they are better qualified in terms of relevant training and experience will be invited to continue in the examination process as outlined in the Job Announcement under "Application Process." THE APPLICATION The employment application is your first chance to present your qualifications to the City. As such, it is extremely critical to your continued participation in the examination process. Before you begin, please review thoroughly what the Job Announcement specifies as the requirements to qualify for the position. You must meet these criteria to be considered for the position; please ensure you do, or you will be wasting your effort in completing the application. Most entries on the form are self-explanatory, but a few pointers on filling it out may help:
Be accurate and honest. Falsification can lead to disqualification or dismissal. Be thorough when discussing experience. Convey experiences most directly related to the particular position, including volunteer work.
22
Resumes may be attached, but will not substitute for application entries (unless specified in the Job Announcement). The application form provides a standard format necessary for consistent review of applications. "See resume" may result in disqualification. Applications must be received no later than the Final Filing Date specified on the Job Announcement. Postmarks are normally not accepted, so allow for mail delivery time. If you need more space to discuss your qualifications, you can attach additional sheets, provided they are similar in format to the original application form.
WRITTEN EXAMS Written exams are usually obtained from one of several test construction firms available to us. These tests are designed to determine your level of technical and/or analytical abilities associated with the particular position for which you have applied. Questions are usually multiple choices, using scanned answer sheets for computerized scoring. Some tips on filling out these sheets: a) make sure you are marking your answer in the row that corresponds to the test booklet question, b) if you change an answer, completely erase it so the scanner doesn't pick it up as a response, c) use only the pencils provided and make dark marks, and d) do not bend or fold your answer sheet. You can approach such tests in many ways, and if you are comfortable with your methods, then by all means continue to follow them. If you haven't had much testing experience, here are some ideas on how to tackle a test. PERFORMANCE EXAMS Performance exams test your ability to accomplish specific job-related tasks by providing the opportunity to actually perform them. These tests are scheduled through the Human Resources Department office, with notification to you in writing of the date, time, location and duration of the test. You will be given instructions on the tasks to be completed and then asked to complete them. 23
Individuals with considerable relevant experience will conduct the evaluations. Safety, quality of work, adaptability, performance under stress, etc. are evaluated.
SPECIALIZED TESTING Some positions will require specialized testing, such as agility, shorthand, writing, etc. These tests are scheduled just as other tests are and you would be notified in writing of results. PRACTICAL TESTS If the job involves practical skills, it may be appropriate to test for ability before or at the time of interview. This is generally acceptable for manual and word processing skills, but less useful for clerical and administrative posts. Telephone skills are increasingly in demand, and candidates for telesales/call centre work will almost invariably be asked to undertake a practical test. Any tests must, however, be free of bias and related to the necessary requirements of the job. Consideration in giving any tests must include the objectives of such a test, the efficiency of the method selected, the numbers of candidates (and vacancies), the costs and benefits of such a method. PSYCHOMETRIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS, INCLUDING BIODATA There are numerous tests commercially available, which can assist in measuring aspects of personality and intelligence such as reasoning, problem solving, decision making, interpersonal skills and confidence. Although many large organizations have used them for a number of years, they are not widely used, and some tests are considered controversial - for instance, those that assess personality. Any organization considering the use of psychometric or psychological tests should refer to the guides available, and make sure they have the need, skills and resources necessary.
24
Tests should never be used in isolation, or as the sole selection technique. Where a decision is made solely on the automatic processing of personal data, an applicant may require that the organization reconsiders any rejection or make a new decision on another basis. Biodata (short for biographical data), is a questionnaire format with multiple choice answers. The questions are of a biographical nature and answers are scored according to the scoring key developed by the employer. In general only really large employers, who have a large throughput of applicants, successfully use Biodata. Use of Biodata, like other tests, needs careful control to avoid any possibility of discrimination or invasion of privacy. Think carefully before using any test - is it actually necessary for the requirements of the job? Is the test relevant to the person/job specification? What is the company policy about using tests, storing results and giving feedback to the candidate? Marking criteria must be objective, and the record sheets should be retained in accordance with the Data Protection legislation. OTHER SELECTION METHODS WORK SAMPLES Interviews suffer from a basic problem when asked what they would do in a particular situation candidates give the answer, which they feel the interviewer wants to hear. The work sample technique attempts to overcome this problem by asking candidates to take on mini-jobs in a selection situation. Properly designed work samples capture key elements of a real job. Work samples have shown some of the highest validity scores compared to other selection methods. Even the smallest companies could employ the simpler forms, such as the following:
25
* A typing test for keyboard skills * role-playing * group decisions * presentations * reports The most sophisticated of work-sample procedures include 'in-basket tests', sometimes called 'in-tray exercises'. Candidates are given a typical in-tray containing a selection of material such as letters to be answered, reports to be analyzed, items to be prioritized, etc. They are given instructions on what to do and a time limit. Standard scoring methods are available. ASSESSMENT CENTRES Assessment centers are procedures and not necessarily places. They function on the principle that no individual method of selection is particularly good and no individual assessor is infallible. They use multiple methods and several assessors in structured programmes which attempt to minimize the inadequacies of each method and cancel out the prejudices of individual selectors. Inevitably, assessment centers are a very expensive method of selection. They are focused on potential. INTERVIEWS Most jobs are filled through interviews. The interview has two main purposes - to find out if the candidate is suitable for the job, and to give the candidate information about the job and the organization. Every candidate should be offered the same opportunities to give the best presentation of them, to demonstrate their suitability and to ask questions of the interviewer. A structured interview designed to discover all relevant information and assess the competencies of the applicant is an efficient method of focusing on the match
26
between job and candidate. It also means that there is a consistent form to the interviews, particularly important if there are a number of candidates to be seen. Unstructured interviews are very poor for recruiting the right person. The structured interview is most likely to be effective in obtaining specific information against a set of clearly defined criteria. However, not every manager is skilled at interviewing, and may not be able to judge efficiently the applicant's skills and competencies. Ideally all interviewers should receive training, including the equal opportunities aspects of recruitment and the relevant legislation. Interviews need not be formal. The length and style of the interview will relate to the job and the organization. Some vacancies may call for a formal interview panel, some for a less formal, one-to-one interview. The interviewer(s) should consider the job and the candidates when deciding on the nature of the interview. All interviews, whether formal or informal, need careful preparation if they are to be successful. Each candidate should leave with a sense of being treated well and fairly and having had the opportunity to give of their best.
Reading the application form, job and person specifications to identify areas which need further exploration or clarification
Planning the questions. In some interviews it is appropriate to ask only one or two questions to encourage the candidate to talk at length on certain subjects. In others it may be better to ask a series of short questions on several different areas. If there is more than one interviewer, different 27
people can cover different topics, e.g. job knowledge, training, and qualifications. Do not ask for personal information or views irrelevant to the job. Do not ask potentially discriminatory questions such as 'Are you planning to have children in the next few years?'
Being ready for the candidates' questions, and trying to anticipate what additional information they may seek.
CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEW Conduct the interview in an environment that will allow candidates to give of their best. Arrange for there to be no interruptions, divert telephone calls, welcome the candidate(s), and show them cloakroom facilities, etc. If possible, let the candidate have a brief tour of the place of work. This is particularly useful in the case of people new to the job market (school-leavers, returning men and women), who may have little or no experience of what to expect in a workplace. It may also prove valuable in offering an additional opportunity to assess the candidate's interaction with possible colleagues. Consider whether any adjustments need to be made to accommodate an interviewee who has indicated a disability on the application form - it is easy to overlook simple adjustments that may be reasonable to make:
Candidates with hearing impairment may not only need to be able to clearly see the interviewer as they are talking, but may need communication support if they are not to be placed at a disadvantage
Is there an alternative to steps for access to the building? Can the interview take place elsewhere, where access might be easier for someone with a physical disability?
It is common that both interviewer and candidate are nervous. Thorough preparation will help both of you. Be careful not to fill silences by talking too 28
much - the aim of the interview is to draw information from the candidate to decide if they would suit the job. The candidate should do most of the talking. Nevertheless, the interviewer will want to encourage candidates to relax and give of their best in what is, after all, a somewhat unnatural setting. It is important to keep the conversation flowing, and the introductions and initial 'scene-setting' can help all parties settle to the interview. The following pointers may be helpful in conducting the interview:
Introduce yourself (and other interviewers if present); this also gives the candidate time to settle down.
Give some background information about the organization and the job this helps everyone to focus on the objective.
Structure the questions to cover all the relevant areas, and don't ask too many 'closed' questions. Open-ended questions (ie ones that can't be answered just by a yes or no answer) will encourage the candidate to speak freely - they often begin 'what', 'why', 'when' or 'how'.
Avoid leading questions. Listen, and make brief notes as necessary on salient points. Have a time frame and keep to it, allowing sufficient time for candidates to ask any questions they might have.
Make sure the candidate is familiar with the terms and conditions of the job, and they are acceptable. If not, and the candidate is the best one for the job, then some negotiation may be necessary - be careful to avoid inadvertent discrimination.

TYPES OF INTERVIEW
THE PANEL INTERVIEW When used, the results of this component of the exam process will be used to determine if you should be included on the List of Eligible Candidates forwarded to the hiring authority for consideration for a departmental Selection Interview. This portion of the examination is normally weighted 100% (or as indicated on the Job Announcement). Typically, your previous test results are used only to qualify you for participation in the Panel Interview. The Panel is comprised of qualified individuals, which may or may not be employees of the City. Normally, the panel will consist of three evaluators. These individuals will evaluate your responses to a variety of job-related questions over the scheduled time period. Candidates receiving an average score of 70% or higher are placed on the List of Eligible Candidates. The List of Eligible Candidates is categorized into three blocks determined by the candidates averaged score: "A" block: Superior Candidate; "B" block: Well Qualified; "C" block: Qualified. Please keep in mind that being on the List of Eligible Candidates does not mean you will be selected for a position; it indicates that you are technically qualified. The following are some tips for the Panel Interview:
Questions are job and experience related. Prepare for your responses along those lines. Concentrate and keep your answers to the point as a limited amount of time is scheduled for each interview. Be aware of the information given on your application. The board may ask questions about it. Make sure you arrive for your interview about ten minutes early to give yourself a chance to relax. Allow plenty of time for travel, etc. Board members may take notes to help them remember you; don't be distracted. 30
INFORMAL INTERVIEWS Many employers invite applicants for informal interviews prior to the main selection procedure. These interviews are useful for information exchange, particularly in the case of professionals. They provide an opportunity to discuss the full nature of the job, the working environment, prospects for further development and promotion. There seems to be some ambiguity as to whether informal interviews should be used as part of the pre-selection process by the employer rather than self-selection by the candidate. The crux of the issue depends on what interviewees have been told. If they have been led to believe that it is a truly informal information session they will not consider the process to be fair if they are subsequently told that they have not been short listed as a result. FORMAL INTERVIEWS Despite the existence of alternative methods of selection most employers regard the formal selection interview as the most important source of evidence in making the final decision. A selection interview can be neatly defined as a conversation with a purpose, but not infrequently the purpose is obscure to the point of invisibility. More often than not, pointless chat would be nearer the mark. The interview has attracted severe criticism for a very long time - being attacked on the grounds of its subjective nature, questionable validity and unreliability.
THE SELECTION INTERVIEW Once the List of Eligible Candidates is established it is sent to the Department(s) that is hiring to fill a current vacancy. The Department Head is responsible for setting up Selection Interviews. He/she may interview anyone on the list, since all persons referred to the department are qualified. The Department Head will be looking for the candidate with the best qualifications for their particular position.
31
The candidate selected to fill the vacancy will undergo a medical examination, drug screen, background investigation, and a probationary period (see job announcement) before attaining permanent employment status. Additionally, in accordance with Federal Law, the candidate is required to provide proof of identity and proof they may legally work in the United States. All employees are also required to sign an oath of affirmation of allegiance as required by State Law.
REFERENCES AND CHECKING State on the application form when any references will be sought, and do not approach a current employer unless the candidate has given express permission. If references are sought, they will be most effective if you include a job description with the request, with structured, relevant questions that will enable you to gain accurate further information about the candidate's abilities. Do not ask for personal information or for conjecture about the applicant. Remember too that completing a reference takes time and proper consideration; so only seek such references if you believe they are necessary and appropriate. A simple form confirming dates of employment, capacity and particular skills may be satisfactory. The holding of particular qualifications, training or licenses may be important to the job, and it is reasonable to ask candidates for proof. If checks on such qualifications are to be made, it is good employment practice to make sure the applicant knows, and that copies of any relevant documents will be held on their personnel file. The timing of reference and qualification checks is variable. It is often the case that references are taken up at shortlist or offer stage, and the candidate may be asked to bring documentary evidence of qualifications to the interview. Job offers are sometimes made 'subject to satisfactory references being received', but this is not advisable. The referee may simply fail to provide any kind of reference. There 32
is no legal requirement to do so. Or a referee may wrongly indicate the applicant is unsuitable, in which case if the offer is withdrawn on those grounds, the organization could face legal action by the applicant. The organization needs a policy of what to do in circumstances such as the non-supply of a reference - an initial 'probationary' period might be an acceptable way of proceeding. APPROVAL BY APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY When selection interview is passed, references are checked, physical examination is done, and then on the basis of this the appropriate authority gives the acceptance for the selection. FINAL SELECTION In this, the offer letter is given to the candidate selected and there side demands acceptance in specific period. THE OFFER Once the successful candidate is identified, and any necessary references and checks completed, send out an offer letter. This is preferable to telephoning the candidate, as a letter enables the specifics of the job to be re-stated, with the terms and conditions, any pre-conditions (e.g. subject to exam success), or postconditions (e.g. subject to a satisfactory probation period). Remember that the employment contract is a legal one, and exists even before the candidate has commenced employment. The offer letter should set out the following points:
The job title and the offer of that job Any conditions (pre or post) that apply to the offer
33
The terms of the offer - salary, hours, benefits, pension arrangements, holiday entitlement, place of employment, etc
The date of starting, and any probationary period What action the candidate needs to take, e.g. returning a signed acceptance of the offer, agreement to references, any date constraints on acceptance
If the letter is to form part of the contract of employment, it should say so. Alternatively it could form the main terms and conditions of employment a written statement required by law to be issued to employees within two months of them starting work.
EVALUATION The broad test of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of the personnel hired. An organization must have competent and committed personnel. The selection process, if properly done, will ensure availability of such employees. People who work independent of the HR department conduct periodic audit.
