Effective Recruitment and Selection
Recruitment and selection should not be about the luck of the draw. Decisions about someone’s suitability for a job needs to be based on evidence rather than solely upon a ‘gut feeling’ or instinct. An organization with effective recruitment and selection practices enjoys a competitive advantage and will be more successful. Strategic planning and preparation will increase the likelihood of attracting and selecting the right people.
The most important asset you can have in a company is great people. They are the differentiators in everything you do.
–Heather Reisman, Canadian entrepreneur and CEO of Indigo Books & Music
