Recruitment is one of the important human resource functions that should be done by every business organization. It is about attracting, interviewing and hiring new people. During recruitment, every organization is looking to select the best qualified person for a job position. This cannot be achieved if the management or the human resource department follows incorrect recruitment and selection processes. If someone has selected the wrong person to any job position, it can be the end of that business. Therefore, recruitments should be done very carefully. Here is the correct way of doing it.

At first, it is necessary to know the nature of the job. Not only the job duty, but also the whole qualifications, as well as the nature of the job should be recognized. Is it a new position or a replacement? If it is a replacement, why the previous worker left from the job? Is it because of any problem, promotion or retirement? All the factors should be known before hire any individual.

Then, you should look at the advertising options you have. Many people advertise job vacancies in newspapers. However, online advertising is also a great way to find good candidates. There are many online recruitment portals specially designed to advertise job vacancies. Social media advertising is also effective. You can also think about online recruitment agencies. You can select one or few advertising media to place your vacancy advertisements. Make sure to prepare creative advertisements to get the attention of job seekers.

After getting adequate amount of applications, preliminary testing should be done. Consider the lowest qualification for the job and choose all the applications which meet that minimum qualification level.

Before asking applicants for face-to-face interviews, you can do preliminary discussion with them over the phone. Make sure to analyze the way they react and talk. Ask their objectives. This procedure will help you to choose a set of applicants who can be called for face-to-face interviews.

During the interviews, make sure to inspect their abilities that fill the job duties. Check out previous experiences and academic credentials. Use the discussions to examine their personalities and behaviors. Use a common evaluation criterion to assess all applicants. You can call more than one interview according to the job position. Generally, more than one interview will be performed for managerial level jobs.

After offering the job to the right candidate, it is important to give him an exposure on the job and about his responsibilities to make them confident.

No issue how much experience he has, you must train him for the job because one business is different than another.
