Introduction
Business records are those created through the operation of a business, company or
organisation, ranging from one or two people working from their home to large national
corporations employing hundreds or thousands of people. The contribution that recruiting and
retaining suitable staff can make to the organization's performance is examined. The importance of
managing the organization's physical and technological resources efficiently is also explored. In this
report Sainsbury has been chosen for the further discussion. For an organisation to survive its
finances need to be sound and secure. The second part of the unit explores the sources of financial
resources available to organisations. The level of an organisation’s performance can be seen in its
financial statements. The unit aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the financial
statements and it underpins other financial units in the qualification ( Busse, 2014).
TASK 1
P1- Describe the recruitment documentation used in a selected organisation
Job Advertisement – It is a notice that jobs put out for the public to see to inform them of a job
vacancy of Sainsbury PLC they have open. It includes the job title, requirements, what makes a
suitable candidate and responsibilities. The purpose of this is to promote the job vacancy they have
open and to inform people of what they need to have to be a suitable candidate and make sure
people who apply do actually fill the needs for the jobs ( Cassar, Ittner and Cavalluzzo, 2015).
Job Description – A job description explains what skills employees need to have to get a certain
job. It explains limitations and skills which are needed for the job and the duties and responsibilities
that the employee will have if they get the job. The purpose of this is to inform the candidate of
what they will be doing if they get the job and what they need to do the job.
Person Specification – This is an expansion of the job description. This outlines the training
requirements, grades and personal qualifications of the individual to actually be considered for the
job. This is all about skills and the purpose of this is to outline clearly to candidates what they must
have to get the job ( De Massis and Kotlar, 2015.).
