RECRUITMENT
The UWF recruitment process is all about gathering information about jobs and people and matching the two.
Recruitment consists of 4 key steps:
- Define – the role and the type of person you need to satisfactorily complete this work.
- Attract – a pool of qualified and interested applicants (both within and outside the organisation) to the role.
- Assess – information about your applicants so that you can make an informed decision about which applicants have the required capabilities for the job.
- Select – the best person for the role.
Linking all of the four key steps involved in the recruitment process back to the relevant key objectives identified for the particular role, considerably increases the chances of choosing "the right person for the right job".
If you do not choose "the right person for the right job" your organisation may face the following costs:
- Advertising
- Administrative costs to process candidates
- Interview costs
- Manager's time (a significant amount of time away from their normal duties)
- Lost opportunities (eg incomplete projects, disruption)
- Training and development
- Turnover
- Low morale amongst existing staff
- Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) related costs (eg staff not being able to cope with the demands of a particular role).
