Human Resource Hiring Process

Human resource process involves the activities that are required to make the workforce or staff available to fill and keep filled different positions in the organization. This process includes the following steps:

i)                    Recruitment

Recruitment is the process of finding and hiring the best-qualified candidate (from within or outside of an organization) for a job opening in a timely and cost-effective manner. The recruitment process includes analyzing the requirements of job, attracting employees to that job, screening and selecting applicants, hiring and integrating the new employee into the organization.

ii)                  Selection

Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable candidate for the vacant position in the organization. In other words, selection means weeding out unsuitable applicants and selecting those individuals with prerequisite qualifications and capabilities to fill the jobs in the organization.

iii)                Socialization/ Induction  

      

Induction of Employee is the first step towards gaining an employees' commitment, Induction is aimed at introducing the job and organization to the recruit and him or her to the organization. Induction involves orientation and training of the employee in the organizational culture, and showing how he or she is interconnected to (and interdependent on) everyone else in the organization. .------Business Dictionary.com
