Recruitment

This chapter will be important for Unit 2 and Unit 3, as it discusses job analysis, job description, relevant recruitment laws, and strategies for effective recruitment in depth. Make the connection between what you learned about critical HRM planning in the previous unit and its effect on HRM recruitment, which is the focus of this unit. Pay attention to Figure 4.1., which describes the job analysis process. Note how a company's culture can be used as a recruiting tool to attract candidates.

Recruitment Strategies

Exercises

  1. Perform an Internet search on professional associations for your particular career choice. List at least three associations, and discuss recruiting options listed on their websites (e.g., do they have discussion boards or job advertisements links?).
  2. Have you ever experienced nepotism in the workplace? If yes, describe the experience. What do you think are the upsides and downsides to asking current employees to refer someone they know?
