Part A – Manage recruitment

Instructions to students:

The Principal Consultant has approached you to discuss the appointment of a number of new staff. He has indicated that he is not sure whether to recruit the Accounts Manager or the senior consultants. He has requested a meeting with you to help determine which position to recruit first and to run through the policy and procedure for recruitment and selection and how complete the position description template.

Complete the following activities:

1. Meet with the Principal Consultant (your assessor) to provide training in regard to the policy and procedure for recruitment and selection of candidates and completing the position description template you developed in Assessment Task 1.

During this meeting you will also discuss and determine which position the company will recruit first. You are required to participate in the discussion, ask questions and provide advice that correlates to the policy and procedure.

Provide a printed copy of the policy and procedure and the position description template for the meeting and go through each of the areas in the template that need to be completed, as well as the level of detail that is expected.

You will be required to demonstrate effective communication skills by speaking clearly and concisely, responding to questions and active listening.

Following the meeting the Principal Consultant (your assessor) will provide you with the completed position description for the role of the Accounts Manager as well as information on the proposed remuneration for the position. The Principal Consultant has told you that he wishes to explore the use of social media in recruitment further (eg there are costs for using LinkedIn for recruitment) but for the time being he would like you to write an advertisement to be placed on Seek.

16. Develop a job advertisement in accordance with the organisational and legislative requirements as specified in the recruitment, selection and induction policy and procedure that you developed as part of Assessment Task 1. Your advertisement must clearly reflect the requirements of the position description, as well as include brief company information and remuneration details.

Your assessor will review both your advertisement, as well as the recruitment, selection and induction policy and procedure you developed to assess this.

1. Research at least two recruitment consultants that could be used, should the Seek advertisement not attract the right kind of candidate. Identify the services offered by the recruitment consultants, as well as contact details and any other useful information.

2. When you have completed the advertisement, send it to the Principal Consultant for approval prior to advertising. Your covering memo or email should include information on the research that you have conducted in regard to the recruitment consultants and why it may be necessary to use these consultants.

Part B – Manage selection process

Instructions to students:

Applications have now closed for the position of Accounts Manager and the selection panel has completed the assessment and chosen the short list of preferred candidates. Your role includes calling each candidate to arrange their face-to-face interview and to explain the selection process, which you have done. Part of the selection procedure for all roles is to complete an online psychometric test and an online personality profile test. The Principle Consultant has asked if you can skip this part of the process for one of the candidates because they have been recommended by a business associate.

Prepare and send a memo or an email to the Principal Consultant with an overview of the selection procedures as per the recruitment, selection and induction policy you have developed. You should also use this opportunity to gently explain why it is important to apply the same procedure to all candidates.

The next part of the procedure is to confirm the face-to-face interviews by email.

Assume that the interviews have been conducted. You need to review the selection report produced by the selection panel (provided by your assessor) and decide to endorse/not endorse the panel's selection decision of the preferred candidate for the role of the Accounts Manager. Complete the highlighted sections of the selection report to show your decision and return the completed report to the Principal Consultant (your assessor).
