Recruitment

The recruitment process involves gathering data on jobs and people and matching the two. The activity includes defining the job role and the type of person needed for it, attracting a pool of qualified applicants to the role, assessing the information about the applicants and selecting the best person for the role. It can involve costs with advertising, administration and loss of time. Charities often use a recruitment consultant to carry out the process on their behalf
