| Overview: All good projects, like good buildings and structures, need good groundwork. In the case of buildings, these are solid foundations. In the case of a recruitment and selection project, it is the work that goes into establishing, before the recruitment begins, what job, if any, needs to be done, to what level of performance and outcomes, and what skills and attainments the person doing it will need. It is unlikely that such information can be obtained without the use of some kind of analysis, based on observation and study. That is why the groundwork for effective recruitment requires the detailed study of a job analysis, a job description and the laying down of a person specification. |
