Recruitment Styles in Few Countries

Indian Recruitment processMainly from Job Agencies (Placementindia.com, Monsterjobs.com, manpowerindia.net)

The job recruitment agencies in India involves identifying those posts, preparing the job description and person specification, advertising, management of the response, the prequalification process, organizing meetings, conducting interviews, making decisions, the appointment and action.

Most recruitment agencies in India follow these stages in the recruitment process, which are essentially short list of application, preliminary assessment, written test to judge the work efficiency of the applicant and final interview and selection.Chinese recruitment processRecruitment in China is now more systematic than few decades ago

Involving diverse channels (Internet, Job agencies)

Including newspaper advertising

Headhunting

Visits to universities

Internal appointments

as one of the highest populated country in the world the most common way of recruitment in China specially in manufacturing plants and major factories are just but word of mouth or referrals by friends or family members.

New Zealand Recruitment ProcessSome major companies for example banks follow following recruitment processesIn house AdvertisingEmployee referralsGraduate Programmes (warehouse, Telecom)Recruitment Agencies (Alliance & SPM meat factories)Executive search consultants (for specialised roles)Other Media Advertising (TV, Radio, Social Media, Internet)However each and every company has their own strategy of recruitment

For example:Telecom New ZealandWhen choosing people for the Leadership Development Programme we use a mix of CV and application review, Ability and personality testing, Some phone and face-to-face interviews, and a Handful of tasks and discussions on assessment days It's a robust process that allows us to look at people in many different circumstancesSource: http://www.telecom.co.nz/

Bedazzled Enterprise Limited - Our best practice of recruitment Flow Chart

Designed by: Muzni

What Skills do you have..!Ive got 10 years of industry skillsRecruitment issues and problems we have

Maintaining the equal opportunity throughout the process of recruitment including in the job advertisement

Lack of English knowledge among many Chinese employees could cause miss interpretations

Finding the right talent and suitable person(s) to the organisation

Maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of the applicants by the enterprise at all times during the recruitment process

Protecting the huge amount of data and storage in our system

We might not be able to make the recruitment process fast if we get a huge amount of applications and employees might secure jobs elsewhere by the time we call for interviews.Conclusion

If there's a position vacant the HR Department should identify and design the Job Description, Job Specification and Person Specification.

The person applying for the job and the HR department should comply/match with these three vital concepts before hiring the right employee.

The employee hired should contribute to the overall organisations goals/strategy and if the HR department failed to hire the right person the organisation could have serious implications and could cause possible long term big damages to organisation.

And it has been calculated that hiring a wrong employee could cause about NZD 15,000 for organisations.
