Recruitment:

Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function, undertaken by recruiters. It may be undertaken by an employment agency or a member of staff at the business or organization looking for recruits. Either way it may involve advertising, commonly in the recruitment section of a newspaper or in a newspaper dedicated to job adverts. Employment agencies will often advertise jobs in their windows. Posts can also be advertised at a job centre if they are targeting the unemployed.
Suitability for a job is typically assessed by looking for skills, e.g. communication skills, typing skills, computer skills. Evidence for skills required for a job may be provided in the form of qualifications (educational or professional), experience in a job requiring the relevant skills or the testimony of references. Employment agencies may also give computerized tests to assess an individuals' off hand knowledge of software packages or their typing skills. At a more basic level written tests may be given to assess numeracy and literacy. A candidate may also be assessed on the basis of an interview. Sometimes candidates will be requested to provide a resume or to complete an application form to provide this evidence.
The follow-up process may be referred to as part of the recruitment process: inveigling the selected candidate or candidates to take up the target job or function.

Screening Resumes

When screening and evaluating resumes, recruiter must consider the following information: · Previous job responsibilities and past related work experience that may suggest future performance. · Special skills and qualifications. · Dates of employment. Staff will look for unaccounted gaps of time or conflicting dates, which may suggest instability or unsuccessful work experiences · Salary information. · Verifiable facts. Positions held, responsibilities, dates of employment, salary, etc. After the close date of the recruitment, the Job Expert for the hiring department and Human Resources will screen the application forms or resumes for minimum education and qualification requirements. A recruitment date may be extended if there are no qualified candidates. Recruitments can also be open until the position is filled; in this situation, applicants are reviewed and interviewed on a regular basis until an eligible candidate can be selected and appointed to the available position.
