Calling All Smart People… How Would You Go About Doing This…?

Human Resource Management: Theory and Practice:
The role of HRM and relative importance of many of the activities associated with HRM have changed as organisations endeavour to successfully compete in competitive and dynamic markets. Recruitment and Selection activities are seen as a priority as organisations seek to attract and retain people of the right calibre. Using this concept write a report to the managing director of an organisation with which you are familiar critiquing recruitment and selection activities. You are required to make recommendations and refer to the part people play in achieving and sustaining a competitive advantage.
Using an organisation with which you are familiar critically review ‘Recruitment and Selection in [chosen organisation]: Relevance and appropriateness’
In doing so, your report should focus on the following:
1. Describe how the HRM function can add value to the organisation by aligning HR processes to the overall business strategy ( particular reference to Recruitment and Selection processes)
2. Describe and critically evaluate recruitment and selection processes.
3. Assess relevance within your chosen organisation.
4. Explain how recruitment and selection is linked with other elements of HRM, i.e. induction, training, pay and psychological contract.
