Recruitment Procedure

Personnel departments are usually involved in finding new staff and recruiting (hiring, AmE) them.

Recruitment is the process of employing new people. This process will vary from one organization to another.

When a company needs to recruit or employ new staff, it may advertise the vacancy in newspapers, or may contact an employment (recruitment) agency, a private company that matches jobseekers with jobs. Companies looking for senior staff may approach people working for another company, a practice known as headhunting. Headhunters are specialist consultants who search for high-level executives and try to persuade them to leave their current job in order to go to work in another company. Executives may be persuaded to move company by the promise of a golden hello: a large sum of money or some other financial enticement offered by the company they move to.

If you are a jobseeker (a person who is looking for a job) and you are interested in a particular post, you may decide to apply for the job. The first step is to get an application form and a job description from the company. The next step is to complete the form and return it with your curriculum vitae (CV, BrE) or resume (AmE), which is a summary of your work history, education and skills. You should also send a covering letter, supporting your CV. It will explain why you want the job and why you are the right person for it. By doing this you have become an applicant. The company’s Human Resources department will select the most suitable applicants and invite them to attend an interview.

Notes: In British English, you hire a person for a job that will last only a short time, but you employ them for a permanent job.

In American English, you always hire people whether it is for a short or a long period of time.
