Interview process
Today, there are different kinds of interview process which is adopted by the HR management
team from which they can identify and hire a suitable candidate for the firm. For example, face
to face process, panel, group, off-site and much more where the company's HR management

decide which interview process will be effective for the recruitment process (Kooij and Boon,
2018). Accordingly, in my personal experience I believe that face to face experience is one the
best strategy of interview process as it helps me to communicate and clearly understand all the
requirements of the organization and can finely clear my doubts if any.
Acceptance of one or more candidates maintaining you would like to consider specialising in
talent management
According to Kremer (2022), in the past studies it has been identified and analysed that HR
management of the company is required to recruit a specializing in talent management from
where the firm can be able to get the profitable outcome and results. However, to become a part
of the HR it is important for an individual person to have a proper knowledge and skills like
communication and relationship building skills from where the HR recruiter can be able to find
the suitable employee for the company (De Prins, Stuer and Gielens, 2020). General Motors HR
is looking for an HR executive who should have at least 2 years of experience and have excellent
communication skills.

Providing with Employment contract
In general, employment contract and offer letter both are similar to each other where in the
employment contract is signed between an employee and employer or labour union. It establishes
the responsibilities of both parties (Veluchamy, Kumar and Dey, 2021). Accordingly, the HR
management team also provides the employment contract to the employee from which a conflict
issue can be avoided is future areas.
Induction process
Induction is the procedure from which employees adjust to their new jobs and working
environment. It is a part of orientation which is used for a specific event. However, in the
recruitment process it is important for an individual HR to introduce the people whom working
with where it highlights preparation of contents, schedule and venue documentation and follow
up.
Reflective Journal
Being an HR administrator, it is my responsibility and duty to implement the recruitment
and selection process from where they can hire a suitable employee for the company
(Tsymbaliuk and et.al., 2021). In my experience, I had created a well-structured plan for
recruitment and selection process of the candidates from where the hiring can be done in
successful manner. Thus, at the first stage I need to evaluate and identify the appropriate CV of
the candidates from where I can shortlist the CV and can call the candidates for the further
interview process. Being an HR administrator, it is my duty to follow all the essential steps and
stages for hiring a candidate in successful manner and can enable the company to grow and
develop effectively. After the CV process, now it's my duty to initiate with recruitment and
selection process by creating a job role which makes the candidates to understand and know
about the particular job vacancy of the firm and can apply for the particular role. After that, a
documentation process of job specification is important to be done by my end so that effective
outcome can be achieved. Moreover, a job advertisement is also required to be made from which
people can know about the vacancy for a particular position and can apply for the job role (Dello
Russo and et.al., 2018). A CV short-listing matrix is also made for understanding the

requirement which meets the set criteria or not where interview process have been also taken by
me to know more about the candidate. Along with this, a job offering letter is given at the final
selection of the candidate to have an evidence of the job offering by the company which
candidate can accept and reject according to their mind-set. Also, providing the employment
contract is one of my duty for the betterment of the employee and employer both from which the
conflict can be reduced in definite manner. However, it is important for the HR management
team to understand the HR practices of recruiting and selection process from where they can
finely hire the suitable and right candidate for the company which benefits the firm to obtain the
effective and successful results.
