The recruitment and selection process enables investment decisions to be made systematically following structured assessments of the candidates’ ability, suitability for employment and the potential for development in the context of the job and employer. The process creates the opportunity for the formation of development plans based on a rigorous assessment. The skills learnt to carry out this assessment can be transferred to other human resource management functions such as appraisal, performance management and reward allocation. They will also have the chance to gain an increased understanding of how different sections work, and make a different contribution to the organization. ii) To the employee The employee has experience, skills and potential to offer in return for the agreed salary, other rewards and a future.
