3. Procedure
3. Analysis of 2000 Healthcare United recruitment and selection policy and procedures comparing
of 2016 Healthcare United recruitment and selection policy and relevant legislation.
1. The first difference I have noticed in the organisation’s staff quality criteria in 2000 HU
( Healthcare United ) was looking for the best possible employees, whereas, in 2016 HU is
aiming for the best employees available in the industry, which means HU is trying to
increase its staff quality in 2016.
2. 2000 HU policy did not discuss internal recruitment in vacant position analysis step that
requires special exemptions and must be approved by the General Manager according to
2016 HU policy.
3. According to 2000 HU policy managers were providing a supporting role to HR department.
Whereas, in 2016 policy managers are meanly responsible for recruitment selection and HR
is responsible for supporting role. I recommend to hire right people at right time in right
place, HU should give main responsibility of developing position description to managers
instead of HR.
4. 2000 HU policy has mentioned 20-25 working days for adverting vacant position, which basis
of first days of internal advertisement, and next 10 days for external advertisement.
Whereas, in 2016 this period is reduced to 10 days only including internal and external both
internal and external advertisement. In 2000, HU was only considering print media for
internal and external advertisement, whereas, in 2016 advertisement can be published
online and in leading national newspaper.
5. 2016 HU policy did not say anything about short-list applicants but we can say that the 2000
policy and procedure requires few updates on the basis of HU 2016 organisational vision,
which states,
6. Interview applicant.
1. Interview only those internal candidates who meet selection criteria to save time.
2. shift to automation e.g. use ATS (applicant tracking system) for cv/resumes management
and short-listing candidates.
c. According to 2016 policy interview must be conducted by the trained selection panel,
whereas, short timeframe for interview preparation (mentioned in 2000 HU policy make is
impossible)
In 2000 HU policy HR department organises and choose interview panel whereas, in 2016
policy the managers will resumes major responsibility for recruitment and selection of them
staff so According 2016 policy HR will only play on supporting role in recruitment and
Selection.
First of all, according privacy act 1988, organisations or individuals are required to take
permission for the reference check from candidate there, inform the candidate in the
beginning stages of recruitment about the reference check procedure and ask them to
provide their referee details and preferred method of communication.
8. Job offer: I will recommend sending an email, in addition of posting an employee contract to
applicant.
9. Feedback to unsuccessful applicants: I will recommend an email apology/regret letter to all
un successful applicant whether internal or external and giving them an opportunity to seek
feedback if they juke.

Organisations aim to recruit the best available candidate who best meets their selection criteria,

recruitment process you need to be aware of the bigger organisational picture, HR planning, and
the factors that can affect the process. See the following diagram.

relevant legislation.

Psychometric
Aptitude

Other.
Explain the concept of outsourcing
As a manager, you need to be aware of the many specialists associated with recruitment
processes. These include:
1. Recruitment agencies
2. Agencies who run security checks
3. Writers who specialise in job descriptions
4. Vocational psychologists
5. Competency profilers
6. Remuneration specialists - brand match salaries for newly created positions.
Organisations have the option of outsourcing a function or a service when using external
specialists from the above list. There are two types of outsourcing:
1. Short-term outsourcing.
2. Long-term outsourcing.
Describe the purpose of employee contracts and industrial relations
An employment contract details the terms and conditions of employment, as well as the
responsibilities and rights of you and your employer. This document is required by law to be
given to you no later than two months from the first day of employment, but ideally on your first
day with an employer.
The purpose
The purpose of an employment contract is to ensure that both you and your employer have a
clear understanding of what is expected during the term of employment. This document can also
serve to eliminate any disputes which may arise at a later date. It also helps you to understand
what your rights are under the law. Both you and your employer are bound to the employment
contract until such time that it ends due to notice given or a change in terms by either party.
Industrial relations
The Industrial Relations Commission is established under the Industrial Relations Act 1996 with
conciliation and arbitral functions. Section 3 of that Act sets out its functions as follows: To
provide a framework for the conduct of industrial relations that is fair and just
- To prevent and eliminate discrimination in the workplace and in particular to ensure equal
remuneration for men and women doing work of equal or comparable value
- To encourage and facilitate co-operative workplace reform and equitable, innovative and
productive workplace relations.
Summarise relevant legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice that may
affect recruitment, selection and induction
9. Work/occupational health and safety legislation as enacted and enforced in your state.
Explain why terms and conditions of employment are an important aspect of recruitment
Importance of terms and conditions of employment as starting a new job the Employment Rights
Act says that all employees must be given a copy of their terms and conditions of employments,
which should be given within a month. The terms and conditions of employments includes thing
like wages, working hours and sickness pay etc. Also, the business has rules and regulations
which everyone needs to follow. The employees and employers need to know each other
responsibilities within the workplace. It also specifies the rights from the terms on which the
employee can legitimately challenge made by the employer. It also shows what the employer is
needed form the employee. The implied terms are terms which are applied to both employers
and employees is obvious but both of them need to abide them and if failure to do so would be
breaking those terms. The employee needs to abide the health and safety rules. If they fail to do
so then someone can get hurt or injured very bad then the employer can be sacked from work or
even maybe prosecuted but if something has been damaged then they will have to pay for the
damage or pay compensation to whoever that has been injured.
Psychometric tests and skills tests are often used in job selection. Both can be vital tools to help
you find the best people for the job. But what exactly are the, and what are the differences
between these two types of tests? Psychometric tests are instruments that tell us about
individual differences: such as personal characteristics or cognitive ability (intelligence),
compared to other people. Skills tests tell us about whether a person con perform a certain set
of tasks, and how well. While they might sound quite similar, they are actually different. The
main differences between psychometric and skills tests are their design, their applicability and
what conclusions can be drawn.
