Purpose

Scope

This document applies to all staff and stakeholders involved in the recruitment process. It is designed to ensure that all recruitment efforts are aligned with the organization's goals and that the most qualified candidates are selected for the job.

Processes

1. Define the Job

The first step in creating a recruitment plan is to define the job that needs to be filled. This should include a detailed job description, including job duties, required qualifications, and any necessary certifications or licenses.

Link to any additional resources or tools that you'll use in this process.

2. Identify the Target Audience

Once the job has been defined, the next step is to identify the target audience. This includes determining the demographic profile of the ideal candidate, including age, education level, and work experience. This information will be used to develop a targeted recruitment strategy.

3. Develop the Recruitment Strategy

The recruitment strategy should be designed to attract the target audience and encourage them to apply for the job. This may include creating job postings, advertising the job on relevant job boards and social media platforms, and networking with professional associations or industry groups.

Once the recruitment process has been completed, it's important to evaluate the effectiveness of the recruitment plan. This can be done by reviewing the number and quality of applicants, as well as the cost and time required to fill the position. Based on this evaluation, adjustments can be made to the recruitment plan to improve future hiring efforts.
