Unit 8
In my assignment, the business I’ll be focusing on is Tesco. In this assignment I will be
examining how effective recruitment and selection contribute to a business success, I will be
undertaking a recruitment activity to demonstrate the processes leading to a successful job
offer, and reflect on the recruitment and selection process on my individual performance.
Recruiting the right people is essential to the success of a business. It is important that the
processes and procedures involved in recruitment and selection meet the needs of the
business and comply with current regulations. I will be explaining what it takes for a
business to have a successful recruitment as it’s key to maintain the success of a business, as
people are often considered to be the most valued resource. I will be exploring the various
selection tools and the enhanced use of technology in this area.

requirements of the position and the job holder, advertising the position and choosing the

company. Vacancy can happen due to a number of different reasons. These include: Job

or new product, someone is leaving and needs to be replaced, retiring, moving to a
different job, promoted, or maternity leave. Identifying the vacancy of Tesco allows the
business to search and put out advertisements for new employees.

and working conditions related to the job listing in the organization through the process of

it includes the needs and skills required for the candidate to have. Tesco job description
includes what the candidate needs to know what their applying for such as, what
qualifications it requires, what skills they need and where the job is. Having a job description
saves Tesco from wasting time because they don’t have to interview all candidates and
narrow it down to the right attributes for the job. The have a job description on their

and other attributes which a candidate must possess to perform the job duties. Tesco’s
person specification can also be found on their website. It is important for Tesco to have a

Stage 4 – Application Process
The next step, for the candidate is to find the job through the website. The candidate then
has to create a profile on the Tesco website and from there the application process begins.
Alongside the application the candidate is required to have a CV. Tesco has an equal
application form that is the same for all candidates. It is significant that all candidates have
an equal right to apply for the job. The application process can only be done online as it
makes it easier to collect all data, which makes the process quicker for both the candidate
and Tesco. This is because the candidate doesn’t have to go in into the shop and can do it
electronically. Below is the application process of Tesco.
