Hi,

This is Kishore writing from ESPL Software Private Limited. I am working as a Business Analyst. Could anybody please help me with the recruitment process happening in the automation system? Actually, our company is focused on product-based solutions. We have completed nearly 75% of our current product, the HR application. I am currently stuck in the recruitment section. Could you please provide some sample websites or documents related to the same?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I think this type of service is more aligned with consultancy firms, as they primarily engage with client companies. While this is beneficial, I am specifically interested in understanding the recruitment process within an organization.

A big hi to all HR friends,

I share the same doubts that Sai Sri posted on this site in January 2010. In addition to those questions, I would like to know other methods of gathering the database of prospective candidates who are already working. Besides the use of job portals, what are the other ways of obtaining the database of candidates who might be interested in a job change? I would be glad to hear from you soon. Thanks for reading!

Hi, I am writing from SWIL and would like to know the detailed procedure for obtaining a contract labor license and a factory license. Also, I would appreciate information on the concerned person to meet or write letters to, as we are starting a new project. Thank you.

Every company, be it small or large, needs a good workforce to acquire success along the way. The recruitment process helps companies to do the same. For those who do not know what this recruitment is, it is the process of finding and hiring the right talent for a job position in a timely as well as cost-effective manner.

Recruitment consists of a host of steps such as:
Job posting
Candidate screening
Interview scheduling
Hiring
Onboarding process
And much more.

Of late, companies have started relying on automated recruitment solutions such as HROne to automate their recruitment process. Such systems take care of the whole process, thereby allowing recruiters to pay attention to other vital tasks.

Hi All,

I am looking for a detailed recruitment process. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Yogita

Hi Yogith,

You can find the recruitment process details by searching on Cite HR, as these topics have already been discussed there.

To the best of my knowledge, the recruitment process may vary from firm to firm and is influenced by factors such as the position being recruited for, company policies, number of vacancies, and the time frame for filling the vacancy.

The website linked above, like the one mentioned, provides detailed information.

In short:

Communicate with the team head and managers to create job role specifications. Prepare posters and share them on social media, references, connect with colleges or training institutes for marketing. Collect a maximum number of resumes. Sort resumes based on criteria and compare them with the job description. Connect with candidates. Conduct 1st level telephonic interviews and other interview levels and tests if necessary after discussing with your seniors. Share the offer letter with the selected employee (it's better to discuss before sending the offer letter and if they agree, send the offer letter). Upon receiving the signed offer letter, you can start onboarding. Complete the induction training for the new employee.

I hope the above details are helpful.

Thanks,
Lakshmi

I have posted many times on the recruitment process. I am copying my foolproof six-step process that has been proven over and over again to work.

Long-standing members will recall that I have posted many times on this subject.

For the newcomers, here again is Aussiejohn's 6 Easy Steps to Recruitment and Selection.

If you want the right candidate for the job, you only need 6 things:

1. A proper position description that sets out the requirements of the job.

2. A person specification setting out what the successful candidate needs to perform the job.

3. A rigorous selection process based on the PD and PS, to choose the top 4 candidates to interview.

4. A targeted interview questionnaire based on the PD and PS, to ensure the candidates can do the job and can integrate into the company - no stupid, irrelevant questions that have nothing to do with the job. Every candidate for the position is asked the same set of questions to ensure you are comparing like with like.

5. Well-trained interviewer/s.

6. A rigorous and thorough reference-checking process.

Ensure that you source the RIGHT type of candidates for interview right off the bat. Don't waste time on anyone else.

That's all there is to it. No need to complicate the process. Remember the KISS principle.
