  1. 1. Stages of the Recruitment Processes
    1. Staffing Plans:
    Before recruiting, businesses must execute proper staffing strategies and projections to predict how many people they will require. This plan allows H.R.M to see how many people they should hire based on revenue expectations and can also include the development of policies to encourage multiculturalism at work.
    Once the HR manager has completed the needs assessment and knows exactly how many individuals, what jobs, and when they need to be hired, he or she may begin recruiting.
    2. Develop Job Analysis
    Job analysis is a formal system developed to determine what tasks people perform in their jobs. The information obtained from the job analysis is utilised to create the job description and job descriptions.
    3. Write Job Description
    The next stage of the recruitment process is to develop a job description, which should outline a list of tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the job.
    4. Job Specifications Development
    A job description is a list of a position’s tasks, duties, and responsibilities. Position specifications, on the other hand, outline the skills and abilities required for the job. The two are tied together as job descriptions are usually written to include job specifications.
    5. Know laws relation to recruitment
    One of the most important parts of H.R.M is to know and apply the law in all activities the HR department handles. Specifically, with hiring processes, the law is very clear on fair hiring that is inclusive to all people applying for a job. Given this, it is the responsibility of the HR professional to research and apply the laws relating to recruitment in their respective industry and country. 
    6. Develop recruitment plan
    A successful recruitment plan includes actionable steps and strategies that make the recruitment process efficient. Although it might seem easy, recruitment of the right talent at the right place and at the right time takes skill and practice, but more importantly, it takes strategic planning. HR professionals should develop a recruiting plan before posting any job description.
    7. Implement a recruitment plan
    This stage requires the implementation of the actions outlined in the recruitment plan.
    8. Accept Applications
    The first step in selection is to begin reviewing résumés. But even before you do that, it’s crucial to create standards by which you’ll evaluate each applicant. Both the job description and the job requirements might provide this information.
    9. Selection process
    This stage will require the HR professional to determine which selection method will be used. The next step of the selection process is to determine and organize how to interview suitable candidates.

    2. Overview of the Selection Process
    1. Criteria development: The interviewing procedures, such as defining criteria, examining resumes, developing interview questions, and weighing the prospects, should be thoroughly taught to everyone involved in the hiring process.
    The first step in the selection process is to plan the interview procedure, which includes developing criteria. Choosing which information sources to utilize and how to grade those sources during the interview is part of the generating criteria process. The criteria selection should be related directly to the job analysis and specifications. By developing the criteria before reviewing any resumes, the HR manager or manager can be sure if they are being fair in selecting people to interview. Some organisations may need to develop an application information sheet. Most of these are completed online and include details about the candidate, education and previous job experience.
    2. Application and Resume/CV Review:
    Once the criteria have been developed (step one), applications can be reviewed. People have different methods of going through this process, but there are also computer programs that can search for keywords in resumes and narrow down the number of resumes that must be looked at and reviewed.
    3. Interviewing: The HR manager and/or management must choose those applicants for interviews after determining which applications match the minimal requirements. Most people do not have time to review twenty or thirty candidates, so the field is sometimes narrowed even further with a phone interview.
    4. Test Administration: Various exams may be administered before making a hiring decision. These consist of physical, psychological, personality, and cognitive testing. Some businesses also do reference checks, credit reports, and background checks.
    5. Making the Offer: The last step in the selection process is to offer a position to the chosen candidate. Development of an offer via e-mail or letter is often a more formal part of this process. 
    Interview Methods used in the selection process
    1. Traditional Interview: This type of interview usually takes place in the office. It consists of the interviewer and the candidate, and a series of questions are asked and answered.
    2. Telephone Interview: A telephone interview is often used to narrow the list of people receiving a traditional interview. It can be used to determine salary requirements or other data that might automatically rule out giving someone a traditional interview.
    For example, if you receive two hundred resumes and narrow these down to twenty-five, it is still unrealistic to interview twenty-five people in person. At this point, you may decide to conduct phone interviews of that twenty-five, which could narrow the in-person interviews to a more manageable ten or so people.
    3. Panel Interview: A panel interview takes place when numerous persons interview the same candidate at the same time. While this interview style can be stressful for the candidate, it can also be a better use of time.
    Consider businesses that want three to four persons to interview job candidates. It makes sense for them to be interviewed by everyone at once because it would be unreasonable to ask the candidate to come in for three or four interviews.
    4. Information Interview: Informational interviews are typically conducted when there isn’t a specific job opportunity, but the applicant is looking into potential career paths. These kinds of interviews have the advantage of helping employers find excellent individuals before a position opens up.
    5. Group Interview: Two or more candidates are interviewed concurrently during a group interview. This type of interview can be an excellent source of information if you need to know how they may relate to other people in their job.
    6. Video Interview: Video interviews are the same as traditional interviews, except that video technology is used. This can be cost saving if one or more of your candidates are from out of town. Skype, Zoom or Google Meets for example, allows free video calls. An interview may not feel the same as a traditional interview, but the same information can be gathered about the candidate.
    2. Compare and contrast methods such as behavioral interviews, situational interviews, and panel interviews.
    1). Situational Interview Questions: Situational questions are based on hypothetical situations. These might be interview scenarios that mimic work environments. This kind of inquiry evaluates the candidate’s ability, knowledge, experience, and judgement.
    Examples of situational interview questions might include the following:
    – What would you do if you caught someone stealing from the company?
    – A coworker has told you she called in sick three days last week because she decided to take a vacation. What would you do?
    – You disagree with your supervisor on her handling of a situation. What would you do?
    2). Behaviour Description Interview Questions: In this sort of interview, the premise is that someone’s past experiences or behaviours are predictive of future behaviour. These types of questions tend to assist the interviewer in knowing how a person would handle or has handled situations.
    Examples of behaviour description interview questions might include the following:
    – Tell me about a time you had to make a hard decision. How did you handle this process?
    – Give an example of how you handled an angry customer.
    – What accomplishments have given you the most pride and why?
    3. Panel Interview: A panel interview takes place when numerous persons interview the same candidate at the same time. While this interview style can be stressful for the candidate, it can also be a better use of time.
    Consider businesses that want three to four persons to interview job candidates. It makes sense for them to be interviewed by everyone at once because it would be unreasonable to ask the candidate to come in for three or four interviews.
    3. Highlight the considerations for choosing the most appropriate method for different roles
    1) Interview questions about national origin, marital status, age, religion, and disabilities are illegal. To avoid any legal issues, interviewers need to be trained on which questions cannot be asked.
    2) Listen to the candidate and try to develop a rapport with them. Effective interviewing involves active listening and building a connection with the candidate.
    3) Understand how nervous they must be and try to put them at ease. Job interviews can be nerve-wracking for candidates, so interviewers should be empathetic and considerate of their feelings.
    4) Be realistic about the job. Do not try to paint a “rosy” picture of all aspects of the job. Being truthful up front enables an applicant to understand exactly what they will face once they start their work.
    5) Be aware of your stereotypes and do not let them affect how you view a potential candidate. As an Interviewer, you must be aware of your own biases and preconceived notions.

    4. Significance of communication in the field of HRM
    Our communication styles can influence how successfully we communicate with others, how well we are understood, and how well we get along. Communication plays an essential role in H.R.M.
    However, mind that no one person “always” has one style. Depending on the situation, we can adapt our style. The better we communicate, the more we grasp our dominant communication style and the styles of others. Thus, strong communication skills are invaluable for those working in HR professions.
    There are four main types of communication. Given below is a description of them:
    1. Expresser: People with an expresser communication style tend to get excited. They like challenges and rely heavily on hunches and feelings. Depending on the type of business, this can be a downfall as sometimes hard data should be used for decision-making purposes.
    2. Driver: People with a driver style like to have their way and tend to be decisive. They have strong viewpoints, which they are not afraid to share with others.
    3. Relater: People with a relater personality prefer positive attention and desire to be treated with respect. They want others to care about them and treat them well. They appreciate friendships by fostering an environment where people can feel at ease with one another will help them interact effectively with them.
    4. Analytical: People with analytical communication styles will act deliberately and ask countless inquiries. They dislike being forced to make a decision and want to be regimented. They can be identified by the large number of questions they ask.
    Listening: Listening is another significant part of communication. There are three main types of listening:
    Competitive or combative listening -occurs when we are focused on sharing our point of view instead of listening to someone else.
    Passive listening- happens when we are interested in hearing what the other person is saying and assume we hear and understand what the person says correctly without verifying.
    Active Listening
    Generally speaking, active listening tends to work best in practice as it provides feedback. Active listening involves four phases
    Sensing: earing, seeing, and receiving verbal and nonverbal aspects of the message
    Nonverbal language accounts for a large part of communication. It is easier to have misunderstandings without seeing and hearing nonverbal clues.
