Job Recruitment and Selection

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that a company's success begins in the recruitment process during which the screening and vetting procedures shape and convey the company's demands to aspiring candidates. Therefore, it is essential for an organization to construct an explicit and standardized mode by which skills, qualifications and personal attributes are illuminated and used in the decision-making process leading to employment. The author discusses a dual interview and supplementary self-evaluation process to be used to fill a new position of print media editor. The paper relates that projecting a socially conscious corporate behavior might help to draw in the type of editorial candidate capable of further refining the organization's commitment to its core ethical values.

From the Paper:

"Among the elements of its reputation which are crucial to effective recruitment will also be the company's ability to portray itself as being fair and properly compensatory to all personnel. By assuring that the qualified editorial candidate will be well-compensated with a clearly structured role and a suitable range of pay and benefits, the organization can significantly improve the likelihood that candidates applying for the positions will be those of high qualification. Indeed, those print coordinators or editors of truly valuable capability and experience will also prize themselves as economically and principally valuable to the firm."
