Employment law support on
recruitment and selection
The recruitment and selection process includes the advertisement of jobs, the application process, the selection of candidates for interview and the interview process. A good recruitment and selection process must attract and select the right candidates for the job without being discriminatory.
Recruitment costs money and time, whether it is successful or not, but the hidden costs of ineffective recruitment are formidable in terms of team and individual morale. Good interviewing skills are an essential tool to ensure that the right people are recruited into the right jobs. Many interviewers rely mainly on intuition as a basis for recruitment and whilst ‘gut feeling' can be valuable, a structured interview with good questioning has a much higher rate of success in selecting the most appropriate candidate. Our Guide to Recruitment and Selection provides advice from the advertising and application stage to after the selection interview.
At Q&A Law we understand how to get the best out of your recruitment and selection process and with our comprehensive services you'll find the answers to your questions along with a law guide, a step-by-step process guide, letter templates and policy documents to enable you to deal with all your recruitment and selection issues.
