Recruitment is the process of attracting, screening, and selecting employees for an organization. The different stages of recruitment are: job analysis, sourcing, screening and selection, and onboarding.
The Four Stages
Job analysis involves determining the different aspects of a job through, for example, job description and job specification. The former describes the tasks that are required for the job, while the latter describes the requirements that a person needs to do that job.
Sourcing involves using several strategies to attract or identify candidates. Sourcing can be done by internal or external advertisement. Advertisement can be done via local or national newspapers, specialist recruitment media, professional publications, window advertisements, job centers, or the Internet.
Screening and selection is the process of assessing the employees who apply for the job. The assessment is conducted to understand the relevant skills, knowledge, aptitude, qualifications, and educational or job-related experience of potential employees. Methods of screening include evaluating resumes and job applications, interviewing, and job-related or behavioral testing.
After screening and selection, the best candidate is selected. Onboarding is the process of helping new employees become productive members of an organization. A well-planned introduction helps new employees quickly become fully operation
