Recruitment Process
Prepare your recruitment process carefully to ensure you find the right person for the job.
In your head you will know what you want this person to do and the type of person you are looking for. But it is all too easy when interviewing to make decisions based on personal qualities, rather than relevant skills and experience. To avoid this trap, write a detailed job description and decide on the skills you are looking for in the person. Allocate a score to essential and desirable skills to compare candidates. The interview should be structured and with at least 2 interviewers to overcome subjectivity.
To help with the selection process and with providing a standard contract for your new employee, Business West offers practical advice for businesses on recruitment.
ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service) provide an online publication service that covers all issues relating to employees from recruiting staff, empoyment contracts and induction training to redundancy and bullying at work.
