ABSTRACT
Recruiting good employees can be challenging. While prospective recruits
may have the right skills to match the job including education and work
history there are multiple characteristics beyond whats outlined on paper
that will determine if an employee is right for the job. And determining
whether a person will be the best fit for an open position during the interview
process can prove difficult.
Recruiting the right employee to the company may refer as not only to
consider the talent skills alone because it will not guarantee that you will hire
the right candidate. Employees should posses a combination of skills and
characteristics which are harder to quantify. Here are some things to
consider.
Hiring importance aspect includes to have clearly define what company are
looking forward for. While not every employee will posses all the skills outline
within the job description by prioritizing those consider a "must have" talent
first. This will help company to extract the good candidates from bad when
hiring in progress. These requirements may differ from job to job, but should
include, at the bare minimum, all the skills needed to perform the job.
Problem Statement
Recruiters Hiring Challenges Today
1) Demanding- While last decades workers may have been happy with
a 9 to 5 position, todays talent is much more demanding. They want to
focus on projects, not just their overall jobs, and they want business
hours that are less stringent and predictable.
3) Consumerism- Many job candidates these days look for jobs in a way
that is similar to the way that customers look for a company to do
business with. They want to be treated well, want to know the
company is trustworthy or not, and want to be satisfied with their new
position. Company has to treat job candidates and employees the
same way they would treat a customer. This will result employee will
be happy with company decision and will work their best to ensure
their career success.
3) Political interference
Government controlled companies such as some Government Link Company
(GLC) also face challenges of recruitment. Political polarisation has spilled
over into companies. It became obvious during the research that sometimes
politicians may influence the recruitment and selection process by referring
candidates for appointment to vacant positions. The Human resources
managers usually comply for fear of losing their jobs. Sometimes these
results in the company appointing under qualified personnel at the expense
of qualified and experienced people. Just like nepotism, political interference
has led to organizations appointing people on the basis of their political
affiliation, a challenge which prospective employees face. Because of the
political polarization in the country between the major political parties,
human resources managers experience a dilemma as from which political
background should employees be selected.
