Recruitment, Selection and Interviewing Skills

How to find and appoint the right employee.

Business Need

Most employers recognize that employees are their greatest asset. A sound recruitment and selection procedure is vital for finding and employing the right skills and abilities for an advertised vacancy. Recruiting on this basis also helps avoid complaints of unlawful discrimination.
