Designing a recruitment plan is a very important duty for whoever is appointed this task because if an organization has a poor recruitment plan and a poor job description they will struggle to find the right candidates to interview for work and this could affect the organization if they are not well staffed with the right people. There are several steps involved in order to have a successful recruitment process, they may include; a job analysis for the department or organization (depending on the size of the organization), review or create the job description, choose a recruiting plan, such as conducting your own candidate search or hiring a firm to seek potential candidates for you to interview, and discuss with other staff who are pertinent to the position needing to be filled, what they feel may make a candidate qualified to work along with them in the department. When an organization has a well planned out recruitment plan, they should be able to hire a qualified and appropriate new hire to make their organization a great place to work and receive services from.

When doing a job analysis you want to collect data by observing the department you are hiring for, talk to department managers and current employees about the departments needs, you may provide questionnaires to get more direct feedback on what co-workers may be looking for in a new hire and create a well thought out job description.
