HRM Process
If employee vacancies exist, managers should use the information gathered through job analysis to
guide them in recruitment—that is, locating, identifying, and attracting capable applicants.
On the other hand, if HR planning shows a surplus of employees, managers may want to reduce the
organization’s workforce through decruitment.
Recruitment Resources
Internet
Employee’s referrals
Company website
College recruitment
RECRUITMENT. Some organizations have interesting approaches to finding employees. For instance,
Microsoft launched a new Web site that integrated 103 country sites into one career-related site. There,
potential applicants find employee blogs on everything from interview tips to whether a failed start-up
on a résumé hurts in applying for a job at the company
DECRUITMENT. The other approach to controlling labor supply is decruitment, which is not a pleasant
task for any manager. Decruitment resources are as follows
Firing
Permanent involuntary termination
Layoffs
Temporary involuntary termination; may last only a few days or extend to years
Attrition
Not filling openings created by voluntary resignations or normal retirements
Transfers
Moving employees either laterally or downward; usually does not reduce costs but can reduce
intraorganizational supply–demand imbalances
Reduced workweeks
Having employees work fewer hours per week, share jobs, or perform their jobs on a part-time
basis
Early retirements
Providing incentives to older and more senior employees for retiring before their normal
retirement date
Job sharing
Having employees share one full-time position
Selection Process
Once you have a pool of candidates, the next step in the HRM process is selection, screening job
applicants to determine who is best qualified for the job. Managers need to “select” carefully since
hiring errors can have significant implications
TYPES OF SELECTION TOOLS. The best-known selection tools include application forms, written and
performance-simulation tests, interviews, background investigations, and in some cases, physical exams
Application Forms
Written Tests
Interviews
Background Investigations

and equipment as well as occupational hazards are mentioned. On the other hand, job specification

Purpose
The welcoming of new employees is a collaborative effort that includes human resources (HR), the hiring
department and other teams throughout [Company Name]. Preparing for new hires and providing
appropriate guidance and information during the first several days of employment can ensure success.
This short-term orientation process is not a replacement for onboarding of employees to their specific
role and department, which is a more detailed and longer process.
First Day
HR will meet with the new hire at the start of his or her first day of work to complete new-hire
paperwork, prepare key and ID cards, and review benefits information.
Hiring managers should be well-prepared for an employee’s first day at work and should welcome new
hires with the following:
Orientation Meeting
New hires will be scheduled to attend an orientation meeting within the first week of employment. The
meeting will be conducted in one full day and will include the following:
Human Resources
Safety
• Safety and health policies reviews—safety, fire, emergency evacuation, job-related safety issues.
Department Overviews
Time spent completing new-hire paperwork and time spent in the orientation meeting are considered
hours worked. Each employee’s time card should reflect the time engaged in the orientation program as
paid hours and should be coded appropriately.
For employees to be productive, they need to have a working environment that allows them to be
creative. When employees have an easy-going relationship with others at work, it will show in their
performance and productivity. There will be more communication, collaboration, and cooperation.
An effectively managed ERM will pave the way for a fulfilling employee experience and a feeling of
satisfaction from the work your employees do.
Training often is considered for new employees only. This is a mistake because ongoing training for
current employees helps them adjust to rapidly changing job requirements.
Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may leave or
move up in the organization.
Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of a
sufficiently knowledgeable staff.
Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the company's
competitive position and improves employee morale.
Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.
Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from training and developing its
workers, including:
Increased productivity.
Reduced employee turnover.
Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains.
Decreased need for supervision.
Employees frequently develop a greater sense of self-worth, dignity and well-being as they become
more valuable to the firm and to society. Generally they will receive a greater share of the material gains
that result from their increased productivity. These factors give them a sense of satisfaction through the
achievement of personal and company goals.
