RECRUITMENT

There are a number of possible reasons as to why a business may have to recruit more employees:

y Business is expanding due to:y - Increasing sales of existing productsy - Developing new productsy - Entering new marketsy Existing employees leaving to work with competitors or other local employersy Existing employees leaving due to factors such as retirement, sick leave, maternity leavey Business needs employees with new skillsy Business is relocating and not all the existing workforce wants to move to the new location

In each of these circumstances a business will normally carry out Workforce Planning to find out howmany workers and what types of workers are required. The workforce plan will establish whatvacancies exist and managers then need to draw up ajob description and job specification for eachpost.

Ajob description is a detailed explanation of the roles and responsibilities of the post advertised. Mostapplicants will ask for this before applying for the job. It refers to the post available rather than theperson.

Ajob specification is drawn up by the business and sets out the kind of qualifications, skills,experience and personal attributes a successful candidate should possess. It is a vital tool in assessingthe suitability of job applicants and refers to the person rather than the post.

These documents are an important part of the recruitment and selection process and provide the basisas to where the job may be advertised and whether an applicant is suitable for the post. They also helpprovide a framework for questions to be asked at an interview.
