Introduction
The report deals with the importance of recruitment and selection methods in Best People as stipulated in the recent Board Meeting by the HR Director. `Best People` is a renowned recruitment firm in UK. It employs several selection methods in employee selection. This has resulted in the selection of the best talents from the candidate pool. An analysis of its selection methods reveals that it should concentrate more on the best possible methods from wide choices of selection methods. Further, such a wise choice would obviously result in the achievements of strategic goals of the organisation as well.
2 Recruitment; a strategic tool:
Recruitment and selection is considered to have immense importance as a strategic tool (Dinkel, 2008). In this sense, it helps to achieve organisational goals (Ulrich and Beatty 2001).A well planned recruitment and selection process is inevitable for Best People due to several reasons. Firstly, it brings the best candidates to the firm thereby increasing it productivity and accelerates it growth. Further, a wise selection of candidates who are willing to stay for a long-term in the organisation is an asset to the organisation because they can present improved efficiency that brought from their long-term experience (Compton et al, 2009). Further, it helps to improve the morale of the employees and maintain good relationship with them (Millmore et al. 2007, p.279).
