Introduction
Hiring the right employees is crucial for any business. Mis-hires are very costly, therefore it is important to use effective and accurate methods in recruitment and selection. There is a well-documented correlation between good recruitment methods and financial gain for a business. This course provides, among other things, an introduction on how to improve the quality of job interviews, as well as combine different selection methods, including psychological tests, to thereby make better hires. The course focuses on the entire recruitment process, from job analysis to job performance. This includes designing an onboarding program based on the information you have gathered about the job and the newly hired candidates. The course also reviews theories of personality and intelligence, as this is important knowledge for assessing candidates' suitability for a position.
Just as important as the hiring is the new employees' organizational socialization in the onboarding process. Knowledge about the new employee's learning processes, facilitating learning, knowledge sharing in established practice, access to and development of explicit and tacit knowledge, formal and informal learning, tools and training plans, making leaders, colleagues, and the new employee themselves accountable, thus becomes a crucial part of this course. The goal is to follow the entire recruitment process from job analysis to onboarding.
