Recruitment and selection
Recruitment is the process of identifying and hiring the best-qualified candidate
...
The best-qualified candidate to be
identified for a job vacancy in a most timely and cost effective way
...


Internal Recruitment
Internal recruitment is the assessment of an employer’s current staff to identify is any
current employees are sufficiently skilled or qualified to perform a required job vacancy
...

The advantage of internal recruitment is a current employee being rewarded for good work
...

Another advantage is it is cost effective
...
With this potentially
saving the company money it can be used in a different department or go towards company
profits
...
This means that it improves people’s psychological
state that can be expressed through self-confidence, enthusiasm and loyalty to the
organisation
...

Also an advantage is it can assess known past performances
...

A final advantage is it can result in a succession of promotions
...
It’s also an
advantage because they can see when they promote a lot of their employees that they are
good workers and are already loyal to the company
...
This is where candidates
may have a limited perspective
...

Another disadvantage is that it can place heavy burden on training and development
...

A final disadvantage is that it can cause political infighting for promotions
...

The internal recruitment therefore is not relevant to my business
...
However if I do expand and develop my business in the future this my then
become relevant to my business
...
This is to certify if there are any sufficiently skilled or qualified candidates
to fill and perform existing job vacancies
...
A head hunter is an executive recruitment agency
that tracks qualified personnel during their work life and can quickly and precisely locate a
suitable candidate for the specific job requirement
...
The competencies are a cluster of related
abilities, commitments, knowledge and skills that enable a person to act effectively in a job
...
Some organizations look for and are in need of these competencies so it provides
them with what they need
...
This is an advantage because then it allows them to redirect the money they would
have used for the training to a different department within the business that is in need of
some financial help
...
The reason why this is an advantage is because of it meeting
equal employment opportunities it can single out any favouritism that may take place in
internal recruitment which may not always employee the person with the best suited to the
position but instead a favourite employee
...
This is a
disadvantage because the business may have to re-advertise that position again as the
person who has been misplaced is not suited to carry out the duties of that specific job
...
The reason why this is an
disadvantage is because it has to branch out for a good level of advertising to make people
aware which costs more that the internal recruitment where it can be sent to all employees
that are suitable for the job to be called for an interview
...
The reason
why this is a disadvantage is because it can lower their confidence and loyalty to the
business under the impression that their hard work hasn’t been a good enough standard
...
The reason that this is a disadvantage is because with it requiring longer orientation
and adjustment time then it takes more time and resources
...

An example that my business may have for a job description is as following:

Job description
Job title: Dog Groomer
Job location: In any of the following areas
Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Newton Aycliff
Job summary: To drive a van or be a partner to someone driving and go on call outs to
The clients houses and provide a grooming service
Report to: Hollie Goode (owner of business)
Working conditions: In a mobile grooming salon with dogs
Job duties: Make sure the mobile grooming salon stays clean; groom the client’s dogs,
May deal with small amounts of paperwork such as invoices (receipts) for
Services conducted and may consist of taking bookings from the phone
Machines to be used: Electronic nail grinder and clippers (training of these can be
Provided)
Hazards: sharp blades on scissors and clippers
...
The job specification is derived from job analysis
...
The employee
selection can range from a very simple process to a very complicated process depending on
the business that is hiring and the type of position requiring recruitment
...

This will involve the process of illumination of those who don’t have the qualifications or
skills required for the job
...
It also is there to help to attain a required level of knowledge
or skill
...
These can be provided by the business itself or through another
organization
...
This specific type of training also includes the
basic overview of the business and its services as well as the new employee’s role in the
environment
...
Usually a professional trainer or someone like experienced employees serves as
the course instructor
...

Off the job training is employees training at a site away from the actual work environment
...

The relevant training that if I had employees that needed any form of training would be on
the job training
