 Introduction

The company of the Wilson brothers is currently looking for an Administrative Assistant to act as

a liaison with human resources officials within the department. It is essential to find a qualified

Considering that the HR team today plays a crucial role in developing and simplifying many

processes within the Human Resources Department, such as succession planning,

performance management, policy formation, etc., it is necessary to find a candidate who can

support the Manager in all areas.

One possibility could have been internal consideration, but since the company has not started

several human resource practices necessary for its growth and development faster, it seems

unlikely that they would be able to secure an appropriate candidate in the firm. Therefore, it is

better to get candidates out of the way, as this will give them a very new and fresh perspective

on many of the processes needed, and they'll be able to view things from a unique perspective.

To make sure the company can attract enough applicants and is able to select an appropriate

candidate for its administrative assistant vacancy, it would be best if they advertised the position

by means of three different web sites: LinkedIn, Facebook and Indeed.ca.

Recruitment Strategy

The recruiting strategy of the organisation should be consistent with its business plans, purpose,

and vision.

4
The following elements must be considered while creating the recruitment strategy.

· Government policies

· Organization’s personnel policies

· Personnel policies of other competing organizations

· Recruitment Budget

· Recruitment sources

· Selection criteria and preferences

Depending on the company's budget, job postings can be presented in

a) Top 3 circulated newspapers

b) Careers section of company website

c) Social media channels of company (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn and Indeed etc)

This will catch the eye of potential prospects, cultivate it, and keep it there.

Sources of Recruitment can include Internal recruitment if suitable candidates are available for

this position as,

1) this can be used as a technique of motivation

2) suitability of internal candidates can be judged better than external candidates as “known

devils are better than unknown angels”

5
3) Loyalty, commitment, a sense of belongingness and security of present employees can be

enhanced

If reasonable inside applicants are not accessible, we can go for Outer candidate Enrollment

based on their skills, educational background and job experience and select top 20 candidates

for interview

Characteristics of an excellent resume:

The lively, action-oriented language that reflects the applicant's particular character and talents

is what characterises a good resume. The information covered shall be relevant, precise, and

up to date. The resume's job is to act like a marketing piece, leading up to an interview. The

positive initial impression is achieved by professional appearance and good resume. In terms of

font & style, an efficient resume needs to be professional. Resume should be limited to a page

or utmost two pages as a lengthy resume consumes more time to be read and can create a

negative impact

Good formatting and professional appearance of the resume A candidate who is detail oriented

and organised should make sure that he or she has good formatting, to satisfy the recruiter's

eyes. In addition, a lot of candidates have tried to scrunch up too much on one page and it's

hard to read. The candidate's failure to organise the information in such a systematic way is

clear. (Human Resource - 2202 Words | Bartleby, n.d.)

Clear Objective – the objective of the candidate mentioned in the beginning of the resume is

very important as it shows what the candidate wants to achieve and where the candidate

wished to go soon. This might be one of the criteria used to exclude or screen resumes.

6
A good resume should highlight your core skills and competitive advantages at the beginning

followed by your most recent work experience, listed at the top of the application, to the bottom.

The experience list should be followed by educational qualifications and certifications that the

candidate possesses and then followed by reference of their peers / superiors of current

employer. (Human Resource - 2202 Words | Bartleby, n.d.)
