| RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION |
 |
|
|
| Increasing effectiveness through systematic selection |
| Appointing the right person to the right position is important to the success of any organisation. Finding the right people, then attracting them requires understanding, dedication, focus and effort. |
| The costs of a mistake to the organisation can be immense, including lost time, lost profits and of course company reputation, not to mention the damage that the wrong person can do to the company. |
| The rewards if you are successful in appointing the right candidate can be phenomenal, including a return on investment within weeks. |
| This manual provides a structured, easy-to-apply approach to recruitment and selection. It is divided into 15 sections that can be studied independently. |
| It can be read and used as a book, a self-learning tool or as a reference manual. It can be used by individuals to increase their skills and knowledge, by trainers to help produce training sessions or by managers for meetings and staff training. It is a mixture of information, practical exercises, self analysis questionnaires and case studies. |
