Advertising
Ensuring the job is described correctly and the skills and experience needed are clear, is vital, but you also want to tell then why they would want to work for you. An example of a Poor and Successful Advert for a Job
Shortlisting
A lengthy, but important process checking CV’s matching the experience and skills with the position you have. Sometimes telephone interviewing is a quicker way of ascertaining whether the candidate should progress to a face to face interview.
Interviewing
Techniques have evolved from the traditional interview style of asking candidates a series of straightforward questions like ‘what are your strengths and weaknesses?’ ‘What major challenges have you faced?’ to a behavioural interviewing technique 
discovering how the candidate acted in a specific employment related situation. Behavioural interview questions will be more pointed, more probing, and more specific and need planning to be relevant to the position you are looking to fill. Sample Interview Questions.
Reference Checking
This is more than confirming previous employment; it should be structured so it allows you to validate some of the answers given by the candidate.
Remuneration
Pay levels, incentives, bonus schemes. We have various tools to assist you with pitching the salary at the right level to attract the right candidate.
