Recruitment is the activity of employing workers to fill vacancies or enrolling new members. Employment recruitment is composed of several stages: verifying that a vacancy exists; drawing up a job specification; finding candidates; selecting them by interviewing and other means; and making a job offer. Reasons to recruit people: Employees leave their job, because they can find another place where the company will pay them better salary. Employees leave for training to learn more about the department they work. Employees may have got a suitable place for work. There are different reasons for an organisation to recruit someone; Employee leaving, increased volume of business, Different work, Maternity cover, Sickness.

Selection stage: The face to face interview is the last stage in the process ? it varies by role.

Psychometric Test: Psychometric tests are structured methods used by employers to assess each candidate?s suitability for a job. They may include aptitude or ability tests, personality questionnaires or a combination of both. Psychometric testing is usually one part of a multi-stage recruitment process. Aptitude Test: These are formal tests, completed online or on a printed answer sheet. They are designed to test your reasoning and cognitive capability, usually to a strict deadline. Each test is generally comprised of multiple choice questions. An employee will be given instructions before you start and there will be some example questions to try with no time limit. Online tests are often used as an early selection method. An employee will usually be asked to sit a similar test in person, should you progress to a later stage of assessment or selection. ...read more.
