The recruitment policy of an organization refers to the statement of principles that
outlays how an organization should manage their selection process. The main objective of the
selection process is to assure a fair, transparent and unbiased recruitment process that is best-
fitted in the respective company’s organizational goals and its values (Shackleton 2015).
While creating the policy that helps to employ the most desired persons definitely helps the
organization to reach their business goals (Chelladurai and Kerwin 2017). Other than that a
recruitment policy helps the job role to meet its business requirements where every candidate
is being gauged against the selection criteria. It also helps candidates to get a genuine job
offer.
Assignment 1
Task 1
Critical Analysis
Dandenong hospital, which provides healthcare and cardio related services, situated in
Victoria, Australia. According to its 2015 recruitment, selection and induction policy,
departmental heads along with their HRs have been taken the entire responsibility in the
selection process (Chelladurai and Kerwin 2017). Time frame that will be provided for the
selection process is maximum 4 weeks. All the vacant positions will be analysed thoroughly
by the HR personnel and advertise the new vacancies accordingly both externally and
internally for the next 10 working days. Along with this, the new vacant position will also be
advertised on the website seekcom.au and local newspapers, Morning Herald for thrice a
week. All the applicants that are not short listed in the initial round of interview are required
to notify via e-mail and for the selected candidates, rest of the interview process should be
conducted by at least 3 members including the HR personnel (Chelladurai and Kerwin 2017).
After all the rounds, candidate will be selected on the basis of reference checks conducted by
the departmental heads (Just et al. 2015).

As compare to the 2012 recruitment and selection policy, 2015’s selection process
comparatively more organized and the entire process is conducted within a shorter time
frame. The time frame for the recruitment process will be a maximum of 4 weeks. Where in
2012 guideline, the advertisement of the recruitment process via advertising took 20-25 days,
in 2015 guidelines it comes down to maximum 10 days. Moreover, in the first step of the
recruitment process manager has to notify the HR personnel and had to wait for their consent
whereas in the new policy, higher level departmental heads are directly associated with the
process therefore there is no need to wait for a long time for getting the permission of the HR
personnel. Also in the earlier process, the advertisement would appear internally for 10 days
and then the personnel again advertised it for the external purpose. However, in the recent
guidelines, both the internal and external method completed within 10 days. As per the new
guideline, departmental manager creates advertisement for newsletter ad send this to the
publication department for authorised external print media. Special exemption has been
introduced to the internet recruitment that must be approved by the general manager. In 2015
guideline, HR department will support the department manager in the entire process and
completes the rest of the recruitment form. Moreover, in the 2015 guidelines, position
analysis conducted by Departmental manager and followed by job description that will be
conducted on all vacant and new positions with the assistance of HR. Apart from that, in
2012 guidelines, all the shortlisted candidates had been divided into three different category,
yes, no, or may be’s and on the basis of this they further continue the process. Unselected
candidates were then selected for a 30-minute meeting and then provided feedback
accordingly. However, in 2015, they directly mailed the candidates who are not shortlisted at
all.
The area of improvement: a feature of a good recruitment policy is to assure the employees
about the knowledge of promotion and transfer policies which is not included in both the

5RECRUITMENT AND INDUCTION PROCESS MANGEMENT
guidelines (Timming 2015). Therefore, it should be updated in their policy frame work.
Recent days, major recruitment process is social media through LinkedIn, Twitter or
Facebook. Both in 2012 and 2015 only media that were mentioned is the newspaper and
online job searching portal (Purce 2014). However, social media also plays an important role
in this context. Apart from that, on the other hand, therefore, these media platforms should be
incorporated in their policy guidelines.
Task 2
a) Recruitment is the bottom line of the management process. It refers to the overall process
of selecting right candidates for the jobs. There are several ways that helps to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of recruiting process (Purce 2014). Few have been discussed in
the following section:
Detail clarification about the job roles: While posting a new job application, all the recruiters
should have posted all the necessary requirements to encourage the interviewee. In fact the
general rule is to provide the criteria in 6 bullet points.
Detailed checklist for standard process: In order to improve the efficiency process, HR
personnel must have to use the checklists. It helps you to organize the hiring process.
Checklists can be used for the preparation of interviews and screened calls that helps the HR
personnel to provide all the necessary information before speaking to the candidates.
Use of email templates: Personal emails are necessary important to organize. Therefore, it is
necessary choose templates such as ‘ask for referrals’, ‘call candidates for the interview’ and
finally ‘send feedback to the interviewee’ and update them on a regular basis.

6RECRUITMENT AND INDUCTION PROCESS MANGEMENT
Installation of recruiting software: Every company must have to install the video recruiting
software so that those remote interviewee who cannot come for the interview, helps them to
manage their interview through the video call (Storey 2014).
b) i. As the recruiting manager of HE Company, Sue Wan along with Tim introduced a new
career website that has the capability of managing a talent pool supported by a process of
encouraging employee referrals. In order to create and run the website on a regular basis, first
Sue has to employ some IT professionals, because apart from the persons with IT
background, it is not possible to run the website. Therefore, in order to recruit the IT
professionals, Sue must have to take permission from the seniors.
ii. In order to communicate these changes to management and staff Sue has to keep in mind
the following details.
First of all, from the very first stage of decision making process, Sue must have to notify to
the management and staff that currently the company is going to work on changing policies
and procedures and also provide knowledge that why it is important and what will be the
impact on them (Storey 2014).
Secondly, in order to encourage employee Sue have to ask them their opinion about the
policy changes through the employee feedback form. Thereafter, as the recruiting manager
Sue has to incorporate these feedback as much as possible.
Thereafter, Sue should conduct a meeting with the management and staff to introduce the
new handbook and review its purpose.
Some policies require extensive training to assure the employees understand the new
regulation. Apart from that, it is important for the employees to keep a sign-off copy in their
personal file.

iii. In order provide smooth operation of the procedure, HR personnel must have to train their
staff to make sure they are implemented properly.
In this context, the most effective training tool is complete documentation. A well-written
policy manual helps to mitigate all the guess works to achieve the task. Therefore a proper
documentation is needed that helps the employees to pick up and follow the newly required
instructions. Once the documentation has been completed, employees should be provided
with hands-on training. This training process highlights all the weak areas provided in the
written documentation. Thus, staffs can identify the gaps that need clarification. Managers
should have to use simple tools that track the employees’ progress regarding the new policy
changes. Any deviation should be reported and change accordingly. Using information from
the created checklists and reports helps the employee training or easier and store them
whenever needed.
