To begin with, I’m going to evaluate the effectiveness of the documents which I used in my recruitment process. I’m going to discuss how the documents contribute overall to the organisation, management and conduct of the interview and the process of making a selection decision. I’m going to talk about each document and describe how it is an advantage or disadvantage to use that specific document when recruiting an new employee.  I’m also going to talk about the problems that could be caused without having the documents during the recruitment process and the importance of them.

At first I had to consider the type of documents that were required when recruiting a new employee for McDonalds. I had to make a variety of documents that would all help to get the ideal shift manager to work at McDonalds. This is why I had to ensure I did my best when creating the five different documents. I’m going to write about each document and the advantage and disadvantage of each one of them.

Job Advert

When designing my job Advert I had to ensure that I used all the correct information that was required to be shown to the members of the public. I had to make sure I included the job role, where the job is based, the hours of work, how to apply and the experience that I required for the shift manager. The job advert is the start of the process of documents that are used to help find the correct recruit after the whole process. I’m going to discuss the advantage and disadvantages of this document which I used for the recruitment process of the shift manager.

Advantages

By using this type of document when recruiting for McDonalds, you can appeal to a much wider audience; get a bigger cross section of people from different backgrounds. Another advantage is that it really helps to fill lots of vacancies fast therefore the shift managers job role is very important and needs to be filled quickly by advertising it in different areas it attracts people, it also helps with any competition, if your advert is good etc.
Disadvantages

You can prove expensive for some smaller companies although McDonalds are a huge company so it doesn’t always apply to them. Advertising a good job such as a management role means you’ll get everyone applying for it, even if they aren’t qualified to do the role, which is time consuming having to sift them out which is why it needs to be so specific, so it doesn’t waste the time when short listing.

Job description

When creating the job description for the job role of the Shift manager, I had to consider the roles and responsibilities that they had to take on everyday. It was important that I included as much as possible to eliminate people who didn’t fit the criteria, and didn’t have the relevant qualifications and skills required. I made sure I included as much as I could relating to the hours of work, the basic job and what was expected of them, so that the chosen recruit would know what to expect. I’m going to write about the advantage ...
