This document outlines the typical hiring process for staffing needs as represented by a flowchart. It begins with defining the job description and sending a personnel request to HR. HR then determines the job classification and whether it can be filled by a regular or temporary hire. For a regular hire, HR posts the job internally, examines existing resumes, develops a recruitment strategy if no suitable candidates are found, places job ads and gathers resumes if still needed. Qualified candidates are interviewed, references are checked, an offer is extended if a candidate is selected and the process ends with a new employee being hired once an offer is accepted.
