Recruitment and selection - Overview
Higher education specialists Marshall ACM have just launched their first e- learning programme aimed at supporting recruitment and selection in public sector organisations.
New employment legislation relating to disability, sexuality, religion and belief, and age, has made it even more important for all involved to understand the legal and moral implications involved. This programme provides a clear overview of all the major issues and completion will help to ensure that the right person is recruited in a professional and non discriminatory way.
The fresh and interactive format of the programme includes examples, case studies and quizzes to allow practical application of the knowledge gained. The numerous web links provide access to a wide range of recent articles and case studies allowing users to further develop their understanding of the process. Key issues covered include:
- An overview of the recruitment and selection process
- Recruiting the right person for the job
- Fairness - How to avoid discriminatory practices
- How to support existing, new and proposed legislation
- Recruiting people with disabilities
- Job and person specifications, advertising and short listing
- Interviewing
- The legal framework
