Human resource management is the efficient and effective management of an organisation or company's employees. It aims to provide businesses with a competitive advantage by maximising the performance of their employees to reach the goals, strategies and objectives set by the employer. The main functions of a human resource manager include training employees, managing their performance, improving managerial and labour relations and selecting and hiring new staff.

The selection and hiring of new recruits is extremely important in HRM for several reasons, including:

Human resource managers and recruiters are responsible for finding a suitable candidate. Throughout the process, they can ensure that they find the most qualified professional to fill the position. Besides being highly skilled, it's also important that the candidate is a cultural fit for the company.

Throughout the hiring process, it's possible to test and find the candidate whose personality, working style and experience make them the most suitable. For example, a company that focuses on working collaboratively in teams may seek someone who thrives on teamwork rather than someone who prefers to work alone. It's important to find the right candidate because this may ensure that the organisation and the applicant benefit.

The hiring process is also important in HRM because, when done correctly, it can save the company resources. Finding and recruiting the right candidate who's able to live up to the employer's expectations and can effectively meet the organisation's objectives saves the company time and money. This is because it may eliminate the step of finding a replacement for the new employee who may not be able to meet the job's requirements and expectations. Selecting, recruiting and onboarding new staff members can be a long and costly procedure, so it's important that human resource managers pick the right candidate.

Human resource managers are vital in creating and maintaining a company's positive brand image. During the hiring process, particularly through the interviews, their enthusiasm and professionalism can make the business seem like an excellent place to work. Recruiting in a manner that's smooth and efficient can reflect positively on the company. This good reputation can encourage future candidates to apply when another position becomes available.

Recruiting the right candidate is important in HRM because it can effectively increase the satisfaction of the other employees. When recruiters hire a skilled person, this new addition can help the teams and individuals already working for the company by providing a different perspective and new knowledge. Furthermore, if the hiring process is positive and inspiring, the new employee is likely to feel great motivation and excitement about their job. This further increases the satisfaction felt in the workplace.

The first step is to determine what type of employee the company is looking for. First, identify what role you wish to fill. Then, you can decide what qualities make a potential employee perfect for this position. This can include their past professional experience, type of personality and level of education.

The second step is to write the job description. This is usually the first thing candidates read, and it helps them decide if they want to apply to the job. These descriptions typically include the specific job title, location, a short list of what makes the position attractive and a summary of what the role entails, such as the duties and responsibilities. They usually also include a summary of the company's values and an overview of the desired qualifications and skills.

After the job description is complete, it's time to advertise the position. You can do this by, for example, posting the job description on various online platforms, such as Indeed. The section below explores the various ways of attracting talent. The important thing is to create a process that's straightforward, communicative and sets realistic expectations.

Next, it's time to assess the applications to create a shortlist of prospective candidates. To help you evaluate the applications, it's advisable to define what qualifications and skills you require candidates to have versus what qualifications are nice to have, but not necessary to perform the job. This helps keep your expectations realistic.
