A critical evaluation of the key influences within the recruitment and selection process.

A critical evaluation of the key influences within the recruitment and selection process Environmental influences determine how human resource specialists within an organisation formulate an approach to recruitment and selection. Both processes determine what kind of people are employed and set the crucial parameters of human capability in the organisation. Martin and Jackson (1997: 47) define the whole procedure as employing 'the right people in the right jobs at the right time'. The need to recruit may emerge 'when an organisation takes place through changes of policy, technology, locations, mergers, acquisitions, demerger...' (Heller, 2002: 90) Storey and Wright (1998: 235) believe '...it provides an opportunity to consider options other than recruitment and selection', such as the potential for restructuring workloads or departments and redeploying existing staff. Ineffective recruitment and selection '...defeat subsequent attempts to build competence and commitment, and to develop potential'. (Harrison, 2002: 56). The negative effect increases turnover and has a disruptive effect on the use of managerial time. 'It is important to know what the person will contribute and what induction training will be required'. (Collins, 1993: 29). The targeted market depends on staff numbers, skills, competencies and experiences required. Additional considerations are age

WHAT DOES SHAKESPEARE SUGGEST IS TO BLAME FOR ROMEO AND JULIET'S DEATHS? Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story written by William Shakespeare. This drama is set in Verona and takes place over a period of five days. Throughout the story there is a lot of tension between the characters. The story ends with the two main characters of the story dying thus ending the ancient grudge between the two families. I believe that the adults are to the blamed for the death of the two lovers. If the story is looked into depth there is a lot conflict between the characters. By the end of the story there were three civil wars over a span of five days. This shows just how much the characters and the families hate each other. It is really the adults who should be blamed for the deaths of the two protagonists. Lord and Lady Montague, Lord and Lady Capulet, Nurse and Friar Lawrence are the people to be blamed for their deaths. Friar Lawrence says "In one respect I'll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove to turn your households' rancour to pure love,".

HRM - Recruitment

Introduction Today, strategic decisions are related to human resource considerations. For an example, in an information and knowledge-based economy, success depends on an organization's ability to manage human capital. Human capital refers to economic value of the knowledge, experience, skills and capabilities of employees. To build human capital, HRM develops strategies for ensuring a workforce with superior knowledge and skills. This means recruiting to find the best talent, enhancing their skills and knowledge with training programs and opportunities for personal and professional development, and providing compensation and benefits that enhance the sharing of knowledge and appropriately reward people for their contributions to the organization. The act of recruiting is the organization's ability to sell their culture and opportunities to individuals who are in search of employment, while simultaneously matching the needs of the organization with the qualifications of the individuals. Nowadays, employees are viewed as assets of the company. Employees, not buildings and machinery, give a company a competitive advantage. Employees take more responsibility and control in their jobs, especially in service industry, becoming partners in business improvement rather than cogs in a machine. It is because human labor can easily be replaced by machine. Clearly, the organization

Recruitment & Selection

Introduction This is a report that covers recruitment planning, recruitment practices, recruitment procedures, selection practice & recruitment and selection legislation on my chosen business, the Metropolitan Police Service. The Metropolitan Police was established on 29 September 1829 by then Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel. The Met, as it is called colloquially, was London's first organised police service, charged with maintaining law and order in the capital city. When it started, there were just 1,000 officers, policing less than 2 million people across a seven-mile radius around Charing Cross. It was the third official non-paramilitary city police force in the world, after the City of Glasgow Police and the Paris Police. Until the middle of the 18th century, no police force operated in London. One of the priorities of the police force from the beginning was "maintaining public order", and they were very active, for example, against the major Chartist demonstrations. The force continued to be controlled directly by the Home Secretary until 2000, when the newly created Greater London Authority was given responsibility for the force, through the Metropolitan Police Authority. The MPA is made up of members appointed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, and several independent members. However the Metropolitan Police Commissioner is still appointed by the Home
