Recruiting and selecting new staff can be one of the most demanding challenges faced by a business, especially when it is being done for the first time. Effective recruitment requires that you are absolutely clear about the job and the profile of the ideal candidate. You have to be clear about whether a job exists, clear about the job description and clear about the experience and skills you require. You have to attract applicants and then select the one who best fills the job or, on occasion, choose not to fill the job at all. It takes time and effort to hire new staff and, whilst it is not impossible to dismiss someone if you get it wrong, it is better to take time to get it right first time.
This factsheet provides an introduction to the recruitment process and explains how to define clearly your requirements, to identify and analyse jobs, and to prepare job descriptions and person specifications. It includes useful hints and tips as well as sources of further information.
