Recruitment and selection is about finding and placing the right people, in the right jobs, at the right time, for the right terms and conditions.
The recruitment process is quite complex and starts with the identifying the need to fill a vacancy and ends with induction. Different people are involved at different stages and finding the right person for the job is very much a team effort.
The selection interview is an important part of the process, and the area where the line manager tends to have the most influence. Too many managers make snap decisions about who to employ. Some of these decisions turn out well, but some don’t. When they don’t the negative effect is felt not only by the individual, but also by the manager and team, and this can ultimately effect the organisation.

- Prepare effectively for a selection interview
- Structure a selection interview properly
