LO1
P1 Discuss factors to be considered when planning and undertaking recruitment of staff
There are various factors that must be considered when planning and recruiting number of
candidates for NHS (Guest, 2017). Smart business owners are always looking forward to recruit
highly talented employees because productivity and profitability of business always depends on
quality of employees. There are several factors that are undertaken by NHS while recruiting
candidates which are mentioned below:
 Education and Credentials
Education background of the potential candidates is essential. It is important for healthcare
organizations to check degree and completion of classes. For example, National Health Service
recruits only those candidates who have degree for the particular job and requires some
certificates as well which they achieve during academic period or internship. Some healthcare
setting companies also requires certification in HVAC and high school Diploma instead of
asking advanced education background.
 Importance of work experience
Work experience is another crucial factor which is also considered by fewer healthcare
organizations while recruiting candidates for the designated posts (Qudah, Davies and Deakin,
2019). But there are some other healthcare companies like NHS which consider this factor only
for some particular job roles otherwise they prefer to recruit candidates with good qualification
