Introduction Planning and Preparing for Recruitment and Selection: Recruiting the right staff is a crucial component of creating the workforce profile your organisisation needs to achieve its organisational objectives and it takes careful planning and consideration to recruit successfully. Recruitment and selection can be a challenging process that goes beyond interviewing candidates for a position. It involves the following: - assessing and defining the position - developing recruiting strategies - screening applicants - interviewing - making a hiring decision and offer - getting a new employee oriented to the company and his/her duties, - and of course the legal implications that need to be considered. Without considering these factors, managers often hire based on how well a job candidate presents him/herself or on gut instinct. As a result, they often live to regret their hiring decisions. Hiring the wrong person for the job leads to: - a decrease in productivity - high turnover - low morale - and lots of frustration for all That is why this two day workshop is vital for managers to learn a system for more effective recruitment and selection.
