The project includes two main assessment tasks: knowledge questions and a project portfolio. The knowledge questions cover topics such as recruitment methods, policies and procedures, relevant legislation, psychometric and skills testing, and employment contracts. The project portfolio requires students to review and update existing recruitment and onboarding processes, develop documentation like position descriptions and interview guidelines, and conduct a training session for colleagues. The project also involves managing recruitment activities and incorporating feedback to refine the developed documents. The assessment aims to evaluate the students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, manage recruitment and onboarding effectively, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
