15 Purpose of Recruitment Process The recruitment process is designed to staff the organization with the new employees, and it uses many different recruitment sources to attract the right talent in the defined quality and within a defined time. The recruitment process has several goals: Find the best talents for the vacancies Manage the recruitment sources Manage the vacancies in the organization Run the internal recruitment process Building the strong HR Marketing platform Co-operation with local and international universities Provide feedback about the trends in the job market Most recruitment goals are not visible to managers directly, and they use just sourcing of the job candidates as the main outcome from the recruitment process. HR has to use the other outcomes from the recruitment process as it is the source of valuable information.

16 Purpose of Recruitment Process Finding the best talents on the job market This is the most important goal of the recruitment process. The HR Recruiters are paid for delivering the candidates to managers, who make the final decision about hiring a new employee. The organizations are fighting for the best talents in the job market. HR Recruiters have to develop the competitive approaches to make the attractive job offers. The candidates select the organization, which is recognized for being modern and competitive. The job adverts and job offers have to reflect this. The managers love to hire the best employees available on the job market. They love to interview motivated job candidates. The role of HR is to describe the real need to the manager. Many times, the best job candidate is not the appropriate job candidate.

17 Purpose of Recruitment Process Recruitment Sources Management The recruitment sources management is an extremely significant goal of the recruitment process. The recruitment sources deliver the candidates for the selection procedure in the organization. The better the candidates are, the higher quality job candidates can be hired.

The organization has to build a positive brand name, and it has to promote the job opportunities and excellent career paths.

20 Recruitment Process Key Clients The recruitment process has to be designed for the key internal and external clients. The recruitment process cannot be designed for Human Resources. It is the most common mistake in the design of the recruitment process. The key clients are usually quiet till the moment of the conflict. The HR team has to set the process, which delivers the expected results. The voice of customers is essential in the recruitment process. The managers push to get the job candidates as they promise to deliver the results to the top management. They can make the recruitment process an excuse.

HR Recruiters have to ask managers about their expectations, and they have to test the final design of the recruitment process with them. The managers love to obtain the additional information from the market, and HR Recruiters should always provide a little extra to managers. Managers need to be informed about the progress of selecting the job candidate, and they want to play the role of the final decision body in the recruitment process. The managers have to be trained to conduct a job interview, and the process should not forget about the education of the managers. Managers set the limits about the number of job candidates to interview and time limits to deliver the first and last job candidate. It is a tough job, primarily for specialized job positions. HR Recruiters have to specify different job positions, and they have to agree for the different limits.

23 Recruitment Process Key Clients Job Candidates as clients of the recruitment process The job candidate is another key client of the recruitment process. Many HR Recruiters forget about job candidates, but they have almost the same authority as managers in the recruitment process. Each job candidate expects smooth, fast and predictable recruitment process. The organization should be able to describe the process before it starts the real recruitment for the job vacancy, and it should be able to meet the deadlines communicated to the job candidate. The process has to respect the basic requirements of job candidates, and it should provide fast process with the fast decision about the next stage.
