 Skill- One of the easiest method to move through applicants is through their skill-set.
Skill may be easy to determine on the basis of resume, cover letter and interview (Bell
and Harrison, 2018). Human resource's department of the London Nursing Home has to
assess the rank, number of hiring i.e. whether part-time or full-time staff is required.
 Personality-It is depending on the culture of London Nursing Home as they will be
looking for a certain fit. Human resource department will want to make sure that
successful individual will fit in an organization. They are searching for leadership quality,
so during the interview, HR head should ask questions to learn more about the
1

personality of applicant and check their team working skills. They have to define
personal goals and policies of the London Nursing Home so that best matched individuals
can be selected.
 Work experience- The HR while recruitment need to look forward for qualification and
require to consider number of year work experience the person is having (Busse, Aboneh
and Tefera, 2014). This is very essential and important that HR is considering experience
of person while recruiting him or her into company. So London Nursing Home should be
checking and considering work experience of all candidates who appear for interview or
short-listing.
 Attitude- If the individual shows an Unfavourable attitude human resource department of
London Nursing Home wants to reconsider if they are a right fit but if individual appears
with favourable attitude, firm might want to determine if this a result of nerves during the
interview and candidate really want to join the London Nursing Home.
The whole expenditure department to be incurred on the selection method as well as
financial implications has to be calculated before starting recruitment process.
