The selection of personnel implies a number of targeted actions, the main purpose of which is to attract candidates with the necessary qualities to achieve their goals by the organization itself.
In simple terms, the selection of personnel involves the search, evaluation and hiring of specialists who want and know how to work, while at the same time endowed with the necessary competencies and who are able to share the values of the company.
High-quality recruitment will increase company profits, increase productivity and the "morale" of the employee team. All this will allow the company to develop dynamically.
Unprofessional or poor-quality selection is a failure to fulfill the tasks set, deadlines, failures in the company's business processes and business plans. As a result, the manager will again need to spend money on the search and selection of a new team. It should be noted that system errors can lead to a significant increase in the company's expense item.
Professional recruitment services are offered by specialized companies. At the same time, the results of the work of a third-party organization will certainly please the customer company not only with the quality of work, but also with the positive results of the work of the created team.
The selection of personnel is carried out in three well-known ways:
1. Screening. Search and selection of candidates is carried out according to formal requirements, which include position, education, salary, work experience, gender, age, etc.
2. Recruiting. Search and selection of personnel is carried out in-depth taking into account the formal characteristics formulated by the company. For this, each candidate is interviewed by third-party specialists. Their goal is to clarify the business qualities, knowledge and skills of applicants, as well as their personal characteristics. Also important is their compatibility with the business culture of the customer organization.
3. Executive search. Applicants are not classified by position, but by the client’s business task. This method is more like a project work based on in-depth market research taking into account the characteristics of the customer’s business. The workplace, business and personal qualities of the candidate are also taken into account. This selection technology is the most effective, but the most labor-intensive and, accordingly, expensive.
The main advantages of applying to specialized recruiting agencies are an extensive database of elaborated resumes of applicants. Therefore, the deadlines for the recruiter to provide worked out resumes are minimal. The time frame can fluctuate depending on the complexity and urgency of the desired vacancy. As a rule, professionals have an average time of 5-7 working days.
It should be noted that specialized agencies conduct individual assessment interviews, which is the main advantage of cooperation with such an organization. The interview allows you to correctly assess professional qualities, identify motivation and evaluate the personality characteristics of candidates.
