Recruitment is the process of selecting the most suitable candidate for a specific job requirement.The recruitment process for most organizations is designed along the same path; applications are received, either via an online application form, a postal form or a CV. Candidate are short-listed and invited for interview. The interview format can vary considerably, as we discuss later, and can include assessment centers. The number of interviews also varies. Some companies are satisfied after just one interview whereas others will want to bring back a further shortlist of candidates for one or more interviews. If you are successful at the interview stage you will receive an official letter offering you the job. This information describes what you can expect at interviews and assessment centers, and takes you through to making a decision about any offers that may result.

When considering whether or not to invest, most of us ask perfectly sensible questions like: "What will the return be?", "What's the risk?" and "How quickly will I get the returns?" Would you put your hard-earned money into high-risk investment schemes without knowing about their past performance? Would you invest with professionals who are very thorough, but who can't prove that their methods deliver business results? At the end of the day, the organization is interested in knowing the return onrecruitment investments and HR Manager/Recruitment Manager is responsible for it and hence can be questionable. I remember, once someone asked me, how HR department can become "Earning Department", it is only by saving costs and saving expenses.
That would be a wonderful position to be in, wouldn't it? ...
