Discussion paper: Legal aspects in recruitment and selection. By Johanette Rheeder Recruitment generally entails a process undertaken by a prospective employer, or a recruitment agent who acts on behalf of the prospective employer to attract or invite a candidate to apply for a position, to screen, select, test (e.g. competency based testing or psychometric testing) and to appoint a qualified and suitable person for a job. The stages of the recruitment process normally start with the prospective employer identifying a need (job or functions) which cannot be accommodated by current staff due to reasons such as resignation, retirement, dismissal or the need for new positions generated by restructuring or down scaling or growth. The prospective employer will then do a job analysis and start developing person and key specifications for the job. This will result in the position being advertised with critical and non critical specifications. Most employers have a policy of first recruiting internally before the position is advertised externally or in the media.
