View Solution
- Step 1. Detailed personnel planning
- Step 2. Job analysis, so that for any given job there are two things:
-A statement of the component tasks, duties, objectives and standards (a job description)
-A definition of the kind of person needed to perform the job (a person specification) - Step 3. Identification of vacancies, by way of the personnel plan (if vacancies are created by demand for new labour) or requisitions for replacement staff by a department which has ‘lost’ a current job-holder.
- Step 4. Evaluation of the sources of labour, again by way of the personnel plan, which should outline personnel supply and availability. At macro- and micro-levels. Internal and external sources and media for reaching both will be considered.
- Step 5. Review of applications, assessing the relative merits of broadly suitable candidates.
- Step 6. Notifying applicants of the selection process.
- Step 7. Preparing employment contracts, induction and training programmes.
