Reasons for Recruitment
Tesco aims at ensuring that all positions work together in
pursuit of its business goals. It must ensure at the right time
that it has the correct number of people in the right positions.
The method of recruiting allows companies to hire the workers
they need to perform those tasks. These may need to be hired
to replace workers leaving or growing, or because the company
requires employees with specific skills.
The business is growing: If sales and customer numbers
increase, the company would need more staff to support the
manufacture and production of more goods. This means that
the company must recruit. Local (to assist warehouses),
national (to support public relations) and foreign employees
, may be required (to help with relationships with other
countries).
Vacancies caused by leavers/staff turnover: this may be
because the staff might get a higher pay elsewhere or because
of personal reasons.
Staff are being internally promoted: An employee being
promoted could result in the company having to hire someone
else to fill the unoccupied role.
Seasonal fluctuations lead to a need for temporary staff: Tesco
will have to hire some temporary for the many events that
happen during the year such as, festivals or religious holidays.
An example could be Christmas, since that is one of the busiest
time of the year for Tesco so they will need more staff to keep
up with the demand.
