The Employment Process
The Old Employment Model
• Business defined skills requirement
• Human Resources undertook the whole process
• The Hiring Manager got what he/she was given!
The New Employment Model
• The business is still driven by strategy
• But now delegates directly to the Hiring Manager/business delivery owner
• HR are far too busy dealing with no-win, no-fee lawyers and legislation to do the nice
stuff like recruitment. They no just facilitate the hiring process for the Hiring Manager
• Employment portals
• Applicant Tracking Systems
• Interview assistance
Result: there is no conflict, just an easy and legal employment process…?

4. Stand out from the CROWD
With our PROFESSIONAL CV service
HR people have different agendas to Hiring Managers
• Corporate age profiles: too many young or old people, or people age gaps?
• Pension deficits: delayed by hiring more young people
• Union and workforce agreements: how much more leverage do existing employees
have over new hires? Is there a large retraining package available to reduce
redundancy and hence reduce external hiring?
• New strategic projects: while the Job Description may state a particular 5/8
competencies, a new project coming down the line may want additional or different
skills. Hence the priority of vetting changes
6. Although you may look like the ideal candidate to the Hiring Manager, you
might not to Human Resources!
7. Although you may get on like best friends with Human Resources, you might
not be liked by/like the Hiring Manager
Avoid HR, and get to the Hiring Manager early in your job application!
