Recruitment and Selection

What do you do when the person who seemed so perfect for the job turns out to be completely unsuitable? Maybe he/she is regularly late for work, has aggressive tendencies, or is simply incompetent. For many employers, this sounds like their worst nightmare.

Getting the right person for a job can have a major impact on your business, but it is time consuming, technically demanding, and holds a risk of discrimination claims. A selection interview alone won’t always give you the right candidate. You may need to consider a range of assessment methods. Sometimes selection decisions are very difficult to make, sometimes there are too many candidates to chose from, and other at other times not enough candidates.

There are many steps you can take to make sure the recruitment process operates to give the greatest chance of success.
