Unit 8 - Assignment 1
The Recruitment and Selection Process
Daniel Vroy
How and why a business adheres to recruitment
processes which are ethical and comply with
current employment law.
Introduction
In this document I will explain how and why Asda adheres to recruitment processes
which are ethical and how it complies with current employment law.
Why recruitment processes must be ethical and adhere to equal opportunities
legislation.
It is not illegal if a business doesn't follow ethical considerations, but they help
businesses to be fair. Some of these include:
● Being honest in advertisements
● Maintaining confidentiality throughout the process
● Making sure that the same questions are asked in all the interviews
● Using the same criteria for all candidates
● Asking candidates if any of their family or friends work at the same place to
where they are applying
Ethical recruiting refers to recruiting that focuses on careful, considered selection
and placement. A hiring process should have a regular, reliable cadence that allows
positions to be filled in a timely manner and doesn’t leave candidates in an endless
process. But ethical hiring focuses on quality candidates over quantity and is meant
to facilitate the right long term fit as opposed to just filling the position.
Asda’s reputation depends on how well they treat employees and that includes
recruiting them. Ethical recruitment helps grow a better reputation for businesses
because it stresses communication with candidates, transparency in job postings,
follow up on questions, feedback after hiring, and a whole host of healthy, holistic
hiring practices.
Ethical recruiting is the driving force behind the best candidates. Some of the
practice of sourcing and hiring requires attention to unspoken details or things that
aren’t on a resume, like a candidate’s ability to get to an interview on time, follow up
to an email, and more. But ethical recruiting focuses on factors beyond personality,
like skills assessment, referrals, and other considerations that speak to the quality of
someone’s skills and fit for a role.
