Human
Resource Planning
Human Resource Planning
(HRP) may be defined as strategy for acquisition, utilization, improvement and
preservation of the human resources of an enterprise. According to Mondy et
(1996) Human Resource Planning is a systematic analysis of HR needs in order to
ensure that correct number of employees with the necessary skills are available
when they are required. The role of HR department to recruit and select the
best candidate is important to avoid employee turnover from an organization.
So, recruitment is important process to achieve HRP strategy.
Recruitment
and Selection
In
human resource management context, recruitment
refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function,
undertaken by recruiters. It’s also involves the process of seeking and attracting
a poll qualified applicants using several of recruitment method. Advertising is
commonly part of the recruitment process by using newspaper, through
professional publication, through a job center, through campus interview, and
the latest trend nowadays recalled
E-recruitment or online recruitment. Another process which is also important is
selection. Selection is the process
to identify and hire individual or group of individual to fill job vacancies
within organization. In this process, HR manager play important role to make
sure only the qualified candidate are chosen in selection process. There
several method that can be used in personal selection. For examples include

Web-Based
Recruitment
When we talk
about web-based recruitment, we may be illustrated in our mind about
e-recruitment. E-recruitment is the use of online technology to attract and
source candidate and aid the recruitment process. The tool can be a job website
such as JobStreet.com, the organization corporate web site or its own intranet.
Many organizations whether big or small are using Internet as a source of
recruitment by advertise job vacancies through worldwide.
Advantages
and Disadvantages of E-Recruitment
The biggest perceived
advantage by using online recruitment is that an individual can quickly and
easily access information via internet for job vacancies. Examples, when a job vacancy can put on a job
site such as JobStreet.com in the morning, the first application arrives by
lunchtime, and a candidate interviewed by the end of the day. For
organizations, online recruitment provides an opportunity for job to be
advertised in local or global. So recruiter can get more applicants easily. By
using e-recruitment system, an organization can reduce cost compared to print
advertising.
The disadvantage of
online recruitment is too many candidates. Candidate spam can waste a lot of
time. However, with a bit of thought about what site we use, how we write the
job description and using screening and filtering tools on job boards can
reduce the number of irrelevant applicants. Sometime, online recruitment won’t
always work because not all job vacancy that we post can be filled online.
Besides that, candidates who see our job posting will be relying on our website
to gain more information about our company related to mission and method of
operation. If our website is poorly designed or out of date, the candidate may not
even bother to respond. There's also the possibility that the site won't have
relevant information regarding the candidate's area of interest.
