Recruitment audit for SMEs

Recruitment is not everyone's cup of tea. It can be complex, time consuming, and there are a great number of legal requirements in recruiting staff many small business owners are not aware of. Tanya Grey shares a recruitment audit she has found useful, with Bizbuzzers.

Recruiting a new employee into your business can be an overwhelming experience, particularly if you have not had experience in doing this before.

We have created a recruitment audit for business owners and hiring managers to complete which takes about 5 minutes to complete. It is a simple tick box audit that covers off on the following sections of recruitment and HR Processes:

  1. Job Analysis
  2. Position Description
  3. Person Specification
  4. Analysis of recruitment sources
  5. Advertisement
  6. Application Process Management system
  7. Application form / Authorisation form
  8. Structured interview questions
  9. Pre Employment  Testing
  10. Reference Checking
  11. Appointment
  12. Induction

In each section we provide detail of the requirements and advise our clients if we have existing templates available for use.

In the areas where there are ticks in never, at times, or unsure you will see there is a gap in your recruitment processes and therefore  you will be able to put a plan into place to get these completed or contact a professional for some assistance.

If you do not have the correct templates and processes set up in your business when it comes to selection and recruitment it will impact on your brand. In the past we have worked with a client that did not have these set up. Because of this a high calibre candidate decided to withdraw their application and consequently gained employment with their competition. You may not realise it but people do fall through the gaps when systems are not set up and also when applicants are left waiting for updates.

There is a lot of time that can be spent creating an effective selection, recruitment, and induction process. The more time spent in implementing these into the business the better it will be for the business and the employees in the long run.
