What do HR people do?

Yes! What do HR people do?

recruitment & selectionbefore you start: do you need someone? options? what will they do? what type of person is needed? how many hours? how much to pay? where will we advertise? should we use an agency? how to select the best person? how to structure the interview? do we have an application form? can we use on-line recruiting?

during recruitment:who’s involved in selection? how do we get it right? how to shortlist? how do we interview well? what selection methods will we use? what letters do we need to send out? legal compliance

after selection: what letters do we send out? how do we regret people? what if they ask for feedback? what goes into an offer? what is a contract of employment? do we need to do an induction? what would we put into an induction? what is a probationary period?
