Best practice guidelines for recruitment and selection (from ACAS UK)



The implications of not recruiting fairly can be serious. You may not get the most suitable person for the job and the cost of recruiting again if you make the wrong recruitment decisions can be considerable. In addition you may be contravening legislation and be taken to an employment tribunal. A structured approach will not only help you to select the best person for the job but also enable you to justify your decision.
