The Recruitment and Selection Process
The first consideration that I would have during the recruitment process is promoting competent employees. This approach is applicable if the job opening is above the entry level. The job advertisement process will involve putting up the notice on the notice board and employee referrals. I will evaluate the performance of potential employees to determine their skills, experience, and behavioral aspects to determine if they qualify for the position. Internal recruitment is particularly beneficial to a company since it reduces the costs of advertisement, increases accuracy in selecting the best person for a job position, and reduces the resources needed to equip an external candidate for the new position such as training and coaching (Gusdorf, 2008). The most significant change in the hiring process is the adoption of the online recruitment process. According to Gusdorf (2008), many organizations use social media, websites and other professional networks to post job openings. As a recruiter, I would adopt this method by using professional networks such as LinkedIn, and National News Websites to advertise any job openings. This strategy is cost effective and essential in attracting candidates with unique skills and talent which may not be available internally.
After the recruitment of potential personnel, I would then set a panel of interviewers to aid in the selection process.

Candidates have to complete an application form that would later be reviewed by the interviewing team. The qualified candidates would then have to undergo a screening interview either through telephone or skype to determine their appropriateness for the job. The eligible candidates would have to take a skills test. The best individuals would have to attend a panel of interviewers who include representatives from different areas of the organization. The top candidate would then verify their information through reference check. This process helps to identify individuals with the right attitude, skill sets, and experience for a given job position.
