A Brief Overview Of Recruitment

Recruitment describes the process of identifying, assessing, selecting, interviewing, and shortlisting potential candidates for available jobs within an organisation. Recruitment may also refer to various processes involved such as taking candidates for paid positions. The process may also involve recruitment of employees through on boarding or placement agencies.

Recruitment also occurs within the private sector, for example, recruitment agencies in the hospitality industry, which utilize both human resources and advertising strategies to recruit potential candidates. Finally, recruitment occurs at the executive level where it can include the hiring of executives, chief executive officers, departmental managers, or senior managers from time to time.

In general, recruitment is an ongoing process by which organizations develop the best possible candidates to fill available positions within their organisation. Recruitment takes place both inside an organisation and outside it. Internal recruitment takes place when internal employees who are not recruited externally take up vacant positions within an organisation. External recruitment takes place when organisations attract candidates through advertisements, job portals, careers counselling, and career counselling services.

Executive recruitment is a very different type of recruitment process, as it occurs after a company has made a recruitment call to another company, for example, when an organisation adopts a job description system. The job description system is designed to determine exactly what skills the new hire needs to possess, including any specialized talents they may have.

Recruitment officers are responsible for matching the job description with the most suitable candidate for the job. Recruitment of an executive requires detailed planning, including identifying the skills required, interviewing, selection, coaching and developing candidates, providing appropriate training and supervision, and finally, presenting the selected candidate for employment with a corporate recruitment professional.
