Vigorous vetting before the employment of personnel is often neglected by organisations in the exciting process of business growth.
Points on Recruitment:
- When recruiting new employees the process must be seen as fair and non discriminatory. It is your legal responsibility to check eligibility of future employees to work in the UK.
- Be careful when writing notes about applicants, under Data Protection Laws candidates can ask to see the notes during an interview.
- Experience may be a good quality but you may need adaptability which allows your work force to respond to changes within your marketing arena.
- Commitment might be a virtue and during interview look to seek previous achievements and attained qualifications to assimilate how committed the new employee may be.
Employment Contract:
- A verbal agreement exists i.e. as soon as employment is offered to an applicant and all employers must under UK Employment Legislation provide in writing, definition of terms of employment within eight weeks.
- As of October 2004, it is compulsory that employers provide further written policies to define grievances and disciplinary issues.
