Overview

Welcome to Introduction to Recruitment. In this brief presentation, we are going to define recruitment needs and take a look at how recruiters identify what they would like to hire. Let's make it happen.

What a recruitment need is

In recruitment needs, when the employer identifies the need of bringing someone on the boat, they need to create a statement. Usually the statement of the needs. Usually the statement is a result of job analysis or an assessment that defines jobs and behaviors and as a result the statement can be expressed in job description which is a written statement that describes job.

Sometimes employers, let`s say department does this work, it creates a job description, sometimes recruiters do that. At least recruiters usually overview some addition or their opinions because usually recruiters post job descriptions.

Credential creep

We are going to discuss a phenomenon known as Credential Creep. Recruiters usually are bureaucrats and tend to increase requirements for the job. If an employer brings a need or department brings a need for an accountant, a recruiter thinks there is going to be too many responses and pushes the requirement higher. For instance, adds a master’s degree in accounting as one of the requirements. So an employer needs an accountant who does balance sheet and income statement but recruiters add an additional requirement to this. This phenomenon is called Credential Creep.

KSA

KSA

There is no any one single way to describe job and no single way to describe job description, we at Educaship Alliance LLC use something called KSA`s and these stands for knowledge, skills and abilities. Why? Because the United States Government use this KSA`s for their job openings. KSA is a description of what related competence in the series of narrative statement.

Going over this, the first comes knowledge, knowledge is the part of knowledge applied directly to a particular occupation and industry and skills is technically work related skills and abilities is the set of capacities. What is the difference between skills and abilities? Skill is a learnt ability, but ability is the capacity to do something more just like learned skills.

From the review of the previous section, we know that any competence or work related competence can be chunked into administrative occupation required and industry related, we can create some kind of a matrix or a table that we can chunk further for instance administrative competence can include administrative knowledge, skills and abilities and vis versa. Abilities can include administrative abilities, occupation required and industry related.

Summary

This concludes the Introduction to Recruitment presentation. We have defined recruitment need and taken a look at the tools that recruiters use to identify a profile of a successful candidate including job descriptions and knowledge, skills, and abilities. A special stop was made by credential creep that some say is a recent trend in recruitment. If you haven't done yet so, you are now welcome to move to Vacancy Marketing.
