Task 1
Topic 3 – Recruitment and Selection of Employees at CERA
First Post – Israel Tobin on the Process of Recruitment and Selection at CERA
The recruitment and selection at CERA needs to undergo an immediate change, in
terms of newness and innovation in order for the company to steer ahead from what is being
done by competitors and rivals. I feel that this change needs to be come about at a slow and
steady pace, and it needs to address diverse aspects of the selection process as well. For one,
the matter of gender is something that definitely needs to be taken into consideration when
recruiting candidates at CERA. We now can no longer confine ourselves to looking at gender
as simply male and female but need to take cognizance of the third gender too. The
recruitment and selection process at CERA must be one that is gender sensitive in its nature
and scope, so as to encourage members of the transgender community to apply for job
positions here. If we are able to recruit transgender people into our ranks we can truly be
regarded as a progressive and liberal corporate firm to work for, in the world. We also need
to pay careful attention to the process of talent management if we are to get employees that
can perform their utmost for the organization. Talent is something that is not confined to
academic proficiency. It rests on how well individuals can apply themselves on the work
front. Hence the recruitment and selection process at CERA needs to pay attention to the
ability of candidates to apply themselves well enough to challenges and other aspects of
business operations rather than simply being experts in their own subjects.

According to my view, recruitment and selection process is very important and it’s a
competitive area for an organization, as the organization needs to recruit the best talent from
pool of candidates. It’s better to have a recruitment policy which is more suitable to
individual differences, rather than company policies and processes. We need to do something
quite different in recruitment. Another important thing is that, we need to apply diversity
management as a principle in recruitment and selection process. If we recruit and manage
diverse work force, there will be a competitive advantage for the company. We need to
balance gender and age differences. Employees with different backgrounds have variety of
solutions on how to achieve a common goal. They bring creativity and innovation.
We need to advertise and promote the job vacancies with a powerful communication process
by studying on our recruitment practices. Our recruitment practices and processes need to be
unique in the job market. We need to study on the recruitment processes of our competitors,
and need to create new processes which are more practical and stronger to attract best
candidates. We need to understand our needs, and then need to create job descriptions which
match to our needs. It is important to advertise specific details about open roles and need to
mention straightforward job titles and the qualifications required. We need to concern on
roles which has a higher turnover or difficult to fill. Recruitment process is one of the
important processes for a company and we need to have a unique way to recruit people in
order to compete with our competitors and to attract the best talent
