HR: Recruitment and Selection

In this continuation of the Foundations series, study how successful personnel departments find, recruit, select, and place applicants from all levels. Discuss in-house recruitment techniques, resource allocation, on-campus recruitment, and executive placement. Focus on locating and attracting hard-to-find skilled personnel, abiding by EEO regulations, and implementing affirmative action programs. Improve your selection methods by honing skills, such as reading a résumé properly, designing a good application form, testing applicants and evaluating their results effectively, and checking references. Participate in valuable role-playing exercises, and benefit from real-world case analyses.
