Document Summary

Chapter 4 - recruitment, selection, and decision making. The legal environment: employment equity - policies and practices designed to increase the presence of qualified women, visible minorities, and people with disabilities in the workforce. Internal factors: the type of occupation and the nature of the industry affect the recruiting strategy. Recruitment: the generation of an applicant pool for a position or job in order to provide the required number of qualified candidates for a subsequent selection or promotion process. First step in making contact with others outside the organization for the purpose of hiring them: all about attracting the right people, the goal is to be able to select from the largest qualified candidate pool as possible. Self-selecting out - candidates form their own opinion that they do not want to work in the organization for which they are being recruited.
