P1: Explain how a large business recruits and selects giving reasons for their processes.
Workforce Planning
The workforce planning identifies and analyses the need of the organisation in terms of type,
knowledge and size in order to meet its business objectives. This process informs the business on the
cornet and future impact on the workforce taking into account internal as well as external factors. In
Currys the human resources management team and the finance department work closely to identify
the workforce needs. This large British company needs to recruit staff constantly due to several
factors, listed below:
Growth of the business – Currys have continued to grow annually by 3% for the past few
years[ CITATION ByT17 \l 2057 ]. This leads to higher demand for staff members because
more customers are visiting the store. If there aren’t enough staff to help the customers the
store may loose on sales and result in bad customer experience. Further the company is
expanding in Northern Europe mainly with their subsidiary business Elgiganten which is
based in Denmark and Sweden. Because of the company growth nationally and
internationally there are constantly new vacancy spaces created which need to be filled in,
to help the business continue to grow.
Currently (2019) Currys has 10 760 employees which means that there will be a lot retiring
staff which opens job places. Further the retail industry is known for its high staff turnover,
meaning that a big percentage of the employees leaves the company every year[ CITATION
Mar17 \l 2057 ]. This is another big factor which influences the new staff demand.
Peak period temporary staff – The retail industry sales are highly seasonal – the period
around Black Friday, Christmas and New Years are the busiest times of the year. To meet the
demand each year Currys needs to employee Christmas temporary staff.
The recruitment and selection process of Currys is consisted of two main stages:
Creating all the documents needed for the job advertisement as well as the portal for the
applicants to send off their applications to the business
Once the application portal is closed comes the selection process. It is when the company
filters and selects the best candidates to be invited for interview.
Job Centres and Agencies
Some organisations, typically smaller companies, don’t have the suitable staff and department for
recruitment. Those companies typically outsource this function by the use of recruitment agencies
