Recruitment

Recruitment practice and procedures apply from the time an employer decides that it needs new, extra, or replacement employees up until the time that a person is confirmed as a new employee and is ready to commence work.

It therefore covers practices such as job analysis, advertising, promotions, employee transfers, interviews, testing of employees, reference and background auditing, pre-employment health checks, preparing a contract of employment and making a job offer.
