Fatima Turay (70230602)Unit 8 Recruitment and selection
Learning aim A: Examine how effective recruitment and selection contribute to
business success
P1: Explain how a large business recruits and selects
giving reasons for their processes.
NatWest:
To discover the right employees for the organisation, a recruitment procedure is
necessary for an organisation such as NatWest.
NatWest must first determine which positions need to be filled in the company. A
position may become vacant if a person needs to be replaced due to retirement,
promotion, relocation, or hiring into a new department. Furthermore, openings may
arise from the establishment of a new department or a new product to the company.
Secondly, NatWest must draft a job description that details the responsibilities and
duties of the role. For example, a NatWest bank teller has to help and interact with
customers. Since the role is primarily sales-oriented, you'll need to be quick to make
decisions and have the ability to spot potential leads in order to assist the branch in
achieving its objectives. You will also need to perform basic bank procedures, such
as cashing checks, checking statements, making payments, moving funds, and
changing account details. Therefore, the job description needs to be detailed and
clear about what is expected of each role if NatWest is to hire the best individuals.
Next, NatWest has to write a person specification. The credentials, abilities,
background, expertise, and other characteristics that a candidate must have in order
to carry out the job duties are outlined in the person specification. The person
speciation is meant to facilitate NatWest's search for the best candidates. For
instance, an applicant seeking a bank manager position at NatWest must possess
strong communication skills, organisational abilities, and a working knowledge of
word processing, databases, and email. The bank manager must have prior project
management and team or individual management expertise. Possession of a degree
or postgraduate degree in finance, banking, economics, or other related fields is one
of the prerequisites for becoming a NatWest manager.
After that, they must advertise any vacancies to attract competent candidates.
NatWest may choose to post job openings internally, in which case the role will be
filled by current employees. A job posting is a type of internal communication in
which an employer posts an announcement on the corporate bulletin board informing
current employees about impending job openings. This is often done when a
department requires more help from the company in order to meet a deadline.
Nonetheless, NatWest can also post job positions externally, meaning it will advertise
to people outside the organisation. Posting job openings on their website is one way
to do this. NatWest can also use posters to attract employees' attention.

Candidates now need to apply for the position. Job seekers can apply for jobs at
NatWest on their website. Candidates access the application by clicking the "Apply"
button after choosing a desired role. After that, they'll need to send in their resume
and give you your email address, among other personal information. You can track
your application and use your email address to log in at a later time. Candidates
need to give a justification for why they are the most qualified for the job.
The following step involves shortlisting individuals based on their application; those
who meet the requirements for the position submit applications that align with the job
description and person specification. For instance, a candidate seeking a position as
a bank manager must possess strong leadership and communication abilities as well
as organisational abilities.
NatWest conducts interviews based on the role for which an applicant is applying.
Certain job orders only allow in-person interviews, while others need video
interviews. For big positions, in-person interviews are necessary because selecting
the right candidate is critical to NatWest and the position carries greater significance.
It's easier to pay attention to aspects like appearance in person interviews.
NatWest customises the interview and selection process to focus on candidates who
possess the precise talents they are looking for in an employee after determining
what those skills are. They examine the weaknesses of your present team. Choose
someone who can help fill the void, for instance, if NatWest has five employees who
excel in textual communication but find it difficult to present to a large group of
people. Try again after the first round of interviews if you are unable to locate a
match.
P2: Explain how and why a business adheres to
recruitment process which are ethical and comply with
current employment.
The government has established laws and regulations to carry out the hiring and
choosing process. These actions guarantee that each applicant has an equal chance
of being hired.
The equality act 2010
People are shielded from employment discrimination by the equality act. The Sex
Discrimination statute of 1975, the Race Relations Act of 1976, and the Disability
Discrimination Act of 1995 were among the various portions of the statute that were
previously divided. This meant that you would have to cite a specific act if you were a
victim of inequality. For instance, the Race Relations Act of 1976 would apply if you
had been the victim of racial abuse at work. All disparities were covered under the
2010 Equality Act after October 2010.
The equality act covers:
