Effective Recruitment Process
The presence of an effective recruitment process for a replacement role in the child
care institute is highly important. The recruitment is necessary for the replacement role of the
educator who will be going to take a maternity leave. The effective process of recruitment is
important for the organization as because it is important for the business levels of the
organization to ensure the success of the business in the most proper manner (Jeon et al.

and ensure the recruitment and selection policy in an opportunity legislation. The legislation
must be effected during the recruitment process. Some of the critical steps in the recruitment
process are as follows;
a. Before the start of the recruitment process
b. Preparation of the job role

b. The process of induction must ensure that the management appoint staffs who apart
from the degrees and theoretical achievements are equally capable of caring for the
children and also are capable of taking additional responsibilities (Papadakis
Kalogiannakis and Zaranis 2016). The presence of additional responsibilities can help
the organization to gain success for the child care facility
c. A safer and guideline based recruitment process is highly efficient for securing the
safety of the children from different untoward incidents

reputation of the nursery in the most proper and effective manner
Ongoing Support to new staff
The new staff must be supported whole heartedly and the company must implement
new and better steps that can help the newly recruited child care educator to settle down in
his job role. Some of the major steps that can be undertaken by the management of the child
care institute are as follows;
a. Conduction of a 4 week review
b. Creation of a new buddy system
c. Supervising the entire process
d. Providing appraisals and rewards

d. Creation and addition of different challenges
Requirements for Confidentiality
Some of the main requirements for confidentiality are as follows;

recruited person must have the idea to address all the laws
b. The creation of a new privacy policy can help or the appointed educator can even
follow the privacy guidelines of the previous educator (Kagan Kauerz and Tarrant
2016). The educator must maintain separate hard and soft files regarding the
databases of the children and can use them only in need. The databases must not be
shared without prior consent of the top authority
c. Meeting with all the other staff members and the explanation of the privacy policy is
also important (Palaiologou 2016). The following of a similar privacy policy by all
the staff members can help to ensure a smooth operational flow of the business.
