Recruitment is one of the most important tasks that a company undertakes and can be costly and time consuming. However companies often do not spend time training those people involved in the process or ensuring that their process comply with current legislation.
Bearing in mind that Employment Tribunal claims can be lodged against a company even by individuals who have never actually been employed, but have simply submitted a C.V. or application form and not been short listed for interview, then it is vital that attention is paid to this activity. The burden of proof is now on the employer in such discrimination claims to prove the action did not take place and therefore having the correct procedures and records in place is critical. The recruitment and selection process is not completed until the new employee has been through induction and successfully completed the probation period – then you know that the job has been well done.
Benefits to your organisation
Placing the right people in the right jobs reduces the staff turnover rate and the costs involved with constant recruitment. Time spent focusing on this activity alone is time well spent and an investment in the future of the organisation. Training the recruitment team is vital and will help boost the confidence of the recruiters as well as improving the calibre of the workforce.
