Jump to search Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting, shortlisting, selecting and appointing suitable candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an organization. Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for unpaid roles. Managers, human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment, but in some cases public-sector employment agencies, commercial recruitment agencies, or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process. Internet-based technologies that support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread.

4. A few other points to note
• Non-negotiables, especially when it comes to traits, should be in line
with your company values and cultural expectations and with what
it’s truly like to work in your organisation – the actual reality.
• If you are the one setting the non-negotiables in your business, don’t
be too quick to delegate the early interview process. Non-
negotiables should be addressed/tested in the first interview to avoid
wasting your and the candidate’s time.
• When you interview, after the initial chatter, let the candidate speak
first. If you launch into the role. And the company, and all the
reasons you’re hiring, you’re writing the script for them. Since they
don’t know what you want to hear, you are more likely to get an
authentic retelling of their history, including success and failures,
than if you had led the conversation with role requirements.
