What is the purpose of recruitment documents and templates?
Recruitment is the onboarding process that starts from identifying the need to employ someone to perform a role/task, selecting candidates through advertising (agencies / job board / press etc.), interviewing (and testing), offering terms, commencing employment and though to the point that probation is complete.
Recruitment templates are pre-designed documents that provide a framework for various stages of the recruitment process. These templates can help to streamline and standardise the recruitment process, save time, and ensure consistency in the hiring process. Recruitment templates are commonly used in areas such as job postings, job applications, interview guides, and offer letters.
Using recruitment templates can help you to ensure that all job postings, job applications, interviews, and offers are consistent, fair, and comply with relevant laws and regulations. However, it is important to customise these templates to ensure that they reflect the specific needs and policies of your organisation / and the job position being filled.
