Recruitment refers to the process of finding, interviewing, selecting, and onboarding a qualified candidate for a position. As part of an employer brand, it might also involve developing a compelling “employee offering” from a strategic perspective.

The hiring process consists of the following steps:

1. Job analysis and person specification: outlining the role and the ideal candidate’s qualifications.

2. Sourcing applications: Using networking, advertising, and other methods, find potential applicants.

3. Matching and Screening: matching candidates with job requirements and conducting tests (either talent or personality assessments).

4. Assessment: Assessing a candidate’s motivations and fit with the organization through interviews and other techniques.

5. Job Offers and Onboarding: droughting and approving employment offers, followed by onboarding new staff members
