schemes of enterprise so that development can be done in proper and effective manner. The
human resource manager need to perform various business activities are as hiring, managing a
bringing development in the activities of organization (Bakker, 2011). The Woodhill college
needs to have employees so that teaching vacancies in the firm can get occupied. The college is
looking for the high skilled teacher who needs to be perfect teaching the qualitative aspects so
that student can enhance their learning. In this manner it can be true to said that human resource
management is the core party who is taking various initiative so that firm can able to have skilled
and competitive staff. The main objective behind this is to selecting the right person for the right
place so that business activities can be undertaken in the effective manner. In this manner the
human resource manager of the firm need to perform various function on the following manner
as are- Human resources and planning: HRM department of the company effectively identify
the proper vacant post at the workplace and according to them make development in
some of their areas so that desired post could be fulfilled by business professionals within

mode.
 Performance management: With the help of this the capabilities of the individual can be

up to the mark or not (Sparrow, 2010). The Woodhill college is focusing over the 360
degree feedback method in order to determine the performance of employees. This is one
of the effective method in order to determine the overall efficiencies to the enterprise.
P.2. Explain the strengths and weakness of different approaches of recruitment and selection
IN case of Woodhill collage recruitment and selection process they provide efficient
human resourcing to the organisation in order to fulfil their requirement post of teaching staff in
the organisation effectively. There might be different-different kinds of requirement process be
applied on the organisation in terms of fulfilment of their organisational goals and objectives in
efficient manner, HR manager of Woodhill collage need implement effective requirement
process at the workplace so that, their desired post in the firm could be fulfil sufficiently.
M.1. The strength of different approaches of requirement and selection
Each candidate who wants to apply for a desired post, they must follow all relevant
instruction of the organisation in efficient way, so this recruiting program could be conducted
successfully at the workplace properly (Roche and Teague, 2012). Woodhill collage may utilise
the fundamental process of the company's overall human resource management and effective
planning method as well. Internal recruitment is the process in which employees has been
fulfilled by efficient recruitment process in the organisation effectively. Various organisation
assess that internal environment of the requirement process in the organisation beside of
examining its external environment of the organisation. In the organisation, internal recruitment
process provides offering to modify the teaching job positioning in the collage effectively. The
organisation finishes attractive job advertisement to attract new employees towards the
2

organisational requirement process effectively and make participate on it. Their present
permanent workers and short-term employees, retired employees ect. The main sources of the
internal requirement process which provides the appropriate guideline to recruit the new staff in
Woodhill collage effectively (Harrison and Lock, 2017). The company need to make attractive
recruitment process at the workplace so that, all aspirants will make themselves prepared to
perform effectively in requirement method in order to get their desired job in the collage. This is
also beneficial for the collage as well as student, because of as the Woodhill collage is bearing
high employee turnover in the organisation, so they needed to hire relevant and experienced
candidates. Candidates also make fully preparation for the required post in the company, this
recruitment process may give extreme advantage for Woodhill organisation.
M.1. The Weaknesses of different approaches of requirement and selection
As this requirement process have some effective strengths, they must have some
weakness in their process of recruitment, which is inefficiencies, basic weakness of the company
is that, recruiter of the collages spend more of their time on utilising job analysis and recruiting
tools using at the workplace so that this process many times does not lead the quality of aspirants
in the organisation. They need to utilise common recruitment process such as job fair, recruiting
tables in public areas etc (Salvendy, 2012). The appropriate employees are already working in
other collage and the collage does not have access to reach to them and offer them to their hiring
process. Moreover, this takes more time to hire new candidates on required post in the
organisation, this process take lots of time, which consume the quality of the firm in the industry.
Additionally, the recruitment process may cause of raising expenses for the organisation as well,
because in case of execution of advertisement activities, they have to invest money in marketing
and advertisement method of recruitment process in the organisation which increase the more
expenses toward Woodhill collage efficiently. The collage may use online platform to take test
of candidates and fill the form of the recruitment process, may times, it has been seen that the job
board of the organisation does not meet to the recruitment criteria qualifications of candidates in
the collage efficiently.
