The first function in human resources is referred to as “employment”. This is the total process of acquiring employees from start to finish. The modern term for this is “talent acquisition”. There are multiple steps to this process.
The first step is analyzing the requirements of the job. Next is evaluating the job to determine the appropriate salary range. Then creating the job description or updating an existing one. Now the tools are in place to start recruiting.
The recruitment process is for the purpose of attracting a pool of applicants to be interested in the job opening. This is true if you are recruiting for the armed forces or a sports team. The recruiter works closely with the CEO or other management leader in the process. In coordination, the recruiter sources, screens, assesses, selects, hires and onboards the new hires. If you have heard the term “headhunter”, that is a slang term for a recruiter!

Recruiting has a lot in common with marketing and selling
You are managing a campaign to get the right person into the right job and this has be timely and cost effective. Marketing tools like advertising, networking and referrals are used. Like sales, you could “win” the candidate or “lose” that person to the competition. That is why keeping the applicants engaged during the process and working through the process as quickly as possible is very important. Many times, the recruiter is the first “face” of the company, the ambassador who is inviting potential staff to learn about the company. Treating those applicants who are not selected with respect shows that the company is a quality place to work or patronize as a customer.

“Recruiting is hard. It’s just finding the needles in the haystack. You can’t know enough in a one-hour interview. So, in the end, it’s ultimately based on your gut. How do I feel about this person? What are they like when they’re challenged? I ask everybody that: “Why are you here?” The answers themselves are not what you’re looking for. It’s the meta-data. “
– Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple)
