Human Resource Department

Human Resource Department is the centre of the recruitment and selection process for any company. It is known to be the most effective way to staff the company with qualified professionals for every available job. Some articles that are relevant to the recruitment and selection process include testing methods, application letters, interview techniques and recruitment methods. A human resources specialist must be able to apply all these techniques as well as be trained in dispute resolution, keeping employee morale high and answering a wide variety of questions. Some companies hire a separate recruitment firm to bring in the best employees for their businesses. Skills are sometimes administered to prospective employees to determine the applicant’s abilities. More specific testing, such as that for computer literacy and mathematical abilities, can also help employers find an appropriate candidate.

    I like the comment about the fact that HRM teams should be trained. It would have been a great opportunity to have expanded on this and you could have linked this to legislation.

    Human Resource Department must be aware that all advertisements placed should be genuine and relate to a job that actually exists. The adverts should appeal to all sections of the community using positive visual images and wording. It is considered best practice to get another HR colleague to proof read the advert before they take any action. HRM must ensure that there is nothing discriminatory concerning age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation etc within the advert. As the advert will have to adhere to the Human Rights Act (HRA) 1993 or Equal Act 2010.
