Recruitment
Recruitment is the overall process of identifying, sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and interviewing candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an organization.
Alternatively, employers may use recruitment consultancies or agencies to find otherwise scarce candidates—who, in many cases, may be content in their current positions and are not actively looking to move.
Recruiters and agencies may use applicant tracking systems to filter candidates, along with software tools for psychometric testing and performance-based assessment.
[8] In many countries, employers are legally mandated to ensure their screening and selection processes meet equal opportunity and ethical standards.
[12][13] Companies and recruitment agencies are now turning to video screening as a way to notice these skills without the need to invite the candidates in person.
As for most companies, money and job stability are two of the contributing factors to the productivity of a disabled employee, which in return equates to the growth and success of a business.
[18] Given their situation, they are more likely to adapt to their environmental surroundings and acquaint themselves with equipment, enabling them to solve problems and overcome adversity than other employees.
[citation needed] The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) grants companies Disabled Access Credit when they meet eligibility criteria.
[20] The challenge is to avoid recruiting staff who are "in the likeness of existing employees"[21] but also to retain a more diverse workforce and work with inclusion strategies to include them in the organization.
"Safer recruitment" refers to procedures intended to promote and exercise "a safe culture including the supervision and oversight of those who work with children and vulnerable adults".
[22] The NSPCC describes safer recruitment as a set of practices to help make sure your staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children and young people.
[29] Research has argued that social media networks offer job seekers and recruiters the opportunity to connect with other professionals cheaply.
As more and more people are using the internet, social networking sites, or SNS, have become an increasingly popular tool used by companies to recruit and attract applicants.
[37] Employers may re-recruit prior rejected candidates or recruit from retired employees as a way to increase the chances for attractive qualified applicants.
Such associations typically offer benefits such as member directories, publications, discussion groups, awards, local chapters, vendor relations, government lobbying, and job boards.
[45] When hiring for positions that involve ethical and safety concerns it is often the individual employees who make decisions which can lead to devastating consequences to the whole company.
Likewise, executive positions are often tasked with making difficult decisions when company emergencies occur such as public relation nightmares, natural disasters, pandemics, or a slowing economy.
[46] Companies should aim to minimize corruption using tools such as the recruitment processes, pre-employment screening, personality tests, induction, training, and establishing a code of conduct.
[44] In Germany, universities, though public employers, are generally not required to advertise most vacancies especially of academic positions (teaching and/or research) other than tenured full professors (verbeamtete Hochschullehrer).
