M3.17 - Recruiting, selecting and inducting new staff in the workplace
Recruiting and interviewing
I have worked at my company now for seven and a half years achieving several promotions along the way up to the grade of "Production Supervisor". Now that my attention has been spread over a wider area of the company I have now found myself needing a permanent senior worker for my direct department; a team leader.
To help find the perfect candidate for the job I would first follow the organisations policies and procedures to guide me in the right direction:
First of all I would have to set out a job specification and ensure any possible applicant understands the role: See Appendix 1. This document will also contain a "Person Specification" which will highlight the attributes that we will be looking for in an applicant, as well as the job description. I would then speak to my line manager and Human resources team, show them the job specification and explain why I need a person for this particular role and answer any questions that arise. I would then set out a meeting with the department and explain the new job position and how I will go about filling the position.
Secondly this would ask me the question of "In House Promotion". If a member of the section is deemed to have a good amount of the criteria required for the position this would be ideal for the company as less training and understanding of the company would be needed and the candidate could settle into the roll very quickly. To help judge any possible "in house" candidate I would give them a "Basic ability test" see Appendix 2. Then I would assess them against some key points:
Quality - Make sure they know about the companies quality assurance policy
Volume - They would need an understanding of the volume of work needed to be built within the section
People - Make sure the required leadership skills are met, or could be easily created
Cost - Make sure they know about reducing cost as much as
