Manpower planning is a process where right number of people at right time at right place.
With the help of it, a company is able to develop a base of highly skilled vacant position in the
organisation (Knowles, 2014). Sainsbury’s perform various steps in selecting right employee,
since it is a giant company. Various job applications are collected for vacant job. Then initial
filtering is done to select right people for right job by analysing the CVs (Boella, 2013). After
initial interview is conducted by interviewer of the organisation, it is basically introduction part.

stages, the skilled person is selected by clearing those stages, but if there is a short process of
selectionthen their might be some loopholes whichcannot get located (Boella, 2013). The process
of Sainsbury’s is quite long which is very time consuming but Nisa follows short process of
recruitment which is much faster. For effective recruitment company has to evaluate the
advantages and drawbacks of few selection procedures. By evaluating company get to know
which one is effective and which is not. Highly Skilled recruitment proves the organisation the
