Recruitment And Selection

For a staff to be recruited it is sometimes easy for a person who has

already done the job already and it could be hard for a new comer. But

to be recruited into the organisation is sometimes tricky because many

details are seen before the person can either be told to come for an

interview if needed.

First of all the new employee has to figure out what type of

department he/she wants to work in. Secondly an Application Form is to

be filled in showing all its qualification and what he is capable of.

Then the employer has to decide whether he/she is capable of working

and is sent of acceptance or declined. During the interview many

questions are asked for which the person has to practise for or not.

The new comer is asked simple questions but has to answer to them

precisely. The employer uses a sheet where he writes down the grades

of how the employee did on his interview.

This is done over many new comers and on the end only one is selected

for the job by seeing if he/she is capable at its job. Mainly with

there application form many people send the CV (Curriculum Vitae) this

shows all the capabilities of the person and all its past experience.
