3LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS
Task 1: Development, recruitment and selection process
Activity 1
Healthcare United organization’s mission is to become the leading provider of
Healthcare professionals in Australia. Their vision is to provide the clients with the best
trained and qualified human resources. As per the recruitment and selection policy 2016, the
company’s managerial department has the major role in hiring the staffs, on the basis of the
qualifications and skills. The human resource officials support the managers while selecting
the candidates. The time frame for this procedure is two to three weeks. The recruitment and
selection procedures of Healthcare United involves the analysis and description of vacant
position, advertisement of the position, short listing the candidates, preparation of the
interviews, checking references and others.
Moreover, the policy includes the advertisement of the positions through selected
channels, internally or externally, within ten working days. The special exemptions to the
internal recruitment need the approval of general manager. The interviews are conducted by
trained experts and selection panel. Other methods include the reference checking procedure
which is also conducted by the managerial department. Healthcare United believes in hiring
the right candidates for the company’s betterment. It provides the employees with equal
opportunities, irrespective of their gender, sex, class, caste and others. The organization aims
in recruiting the deserving candidates in order to serve their clients with the best of services.
Activity 2
Contrary to the 2016 Policy As per the recruitment and selection procedures 2000
guidelines, the policies involve the analysis and
description of vacant position, advertisement of the

4LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS
position, short listing the candidates, preparation of the
interviews, checking references and others. At the times,
when a position is vacant and requires new candidates, the
job of the manager is to inform the human resource official
regarding this. The manager then, needs to state some
reason why that particular position needs to be filled with
a new candidate. The human resource official should also
raise a question regarding this. This needs to be approved
by the senior department officials. After getting the
permission, the human resource department must now start
exploring options of the recruitment, implications, award
and legislative requirements.
Outdated compared to current
research and practice
The 2000 recruitment and selection procedures, involved
numerous procedures, which is time taking. On the
contrary, the 2016 policies are much handy and fast.
However, the 2016 policies did not mention anything
about giving feedbacks to the unsuccessful applicants,
which must be taken into consideration.
Do not comply with current
legislation
In addition to this, the manager must give the position
description in a specific manner, as it plays in important
role in the recruitment. If the candidates are not at all clear
with the position, they may end up not applying for the
post. After analyzing the position, proper selection of
media is done for advertising the job position. Once the
candidates get to know about the vacancy through the

5LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS
advertisement, they will start applying for it. Now the
human resource manager’s job is to shortlist the candidates
based on their qualifications. Furthermore, interview
procedure is carried on with the selected candidates and
the job is offered to the deserving ones. However, the
human resource manager’s job does not end here; he/she
needs to give feedbacks to the unsuccessful candidates as
well.
