The Employee Resourcing Process
This part of Human Resource Management addresses one of the core areas of human resource practice:
recruitment and selection. These areas of employee resourcing are extensively covered in critical academic literature
and prescriptive ('how to') books for people involved in hiring or being hired. Our discussion attempts to strike a
balance between these two approaches, allowing you to gain an understanding of the wide range of practical techniques
in use as well as an appreciation of some of the weaknesses and inconsistencies in the methodology and underlying
theory.
The chapters in Part 5 address some key issues, including:
- Why are some recruitment channels more popular than others?
- What are the most cost-effective recruitment and selection methods?
- How is candidate information collected?
- What use is made of that information?
- Are interviews an effective method of determining the 'best' candidates?
- How prevalent are more sophisticated or non-traditional selection techniques such as psychometric tests, biodata and assessment centres?
- How valid are these selection techniques?
