Human Resources: Recruitment and Selection: Course Description
This undergraduate-level course is designed to offer students an introduction to the hiring process and covers many Human Resources related topics, including the development of job descriptions and the interview and hiring processes. A thorough investigation of the entire process is executed in this class, from the initial assessment to the selection of a suitable candidate. Emphasis is placed on the distinction between the recruitment and selection process, and each is explored in great detail. The differences between the person-job and person-organization fit are discussed here, as well as ways in which employers can efficiently attract applicants. The pros and cons of hiring internally rather than conducting an external search are also considered. The 'Human Resources: Recruitment and Selection' OpenCourseWare is offered through The Open University's Business and Management Department.
