Unit 8: The Recruitment and Selection Process
Assignment 2: Evaluating the recruitment and selection
process of a large business
The local newspaper has been publishing a series of insights into businesses in my area. I have been
asked to write a case study of a large business that has 250+ employees. I have chosen a business for
this case study. In this case study I will evaluate the recruitment and selection processes, and link these
to the success of the business. I have initially researched 5 businesses that are based in the UK which I
will do further research on one of those businesses.
TESCO
TESCO is a multinational grocery company that Is founded and based in the UK. The company was
founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen and the CEO now is Ken Murphy they now operate in 13 countries with
over 7,000 stores and 460,000 employees worldwide and is the only British based supermarket chain
that operates outside the UK. The company’s headquarters are in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire,
they are a public limited company and sell stocks on the stock market. They also have different sized
stores with the smaller stores being called TESCO express, the medium sized ones being called TESCO
extra, and the bigger stores are the TESCO superstores. TESCO also own other supermarket stores in the
UK like one stop which is a small supermarket and usually smaller than the TESCO express. TESCO also
provide other products and services like the TESCO petrol station which started in 1974. They also have
a TESCO bank which gives credit cards, loans, mortgages, savings accounts and insurance for cars,
homes, life and travel. TESCO also have a mobile phone service called TESCO mobile. TESCO is a for
profit organisation and are a PLC meaning that they trade shares on the stock market.
The business that I have chosen to do further research on about this case study is TESCO as they are one
of the biggest businesses in the UK and are also one of the largest employers with over 460,000
employees. There is also a lot of information available for Tesco and I would be able to provide a
detailed case study for this report.

I researched a range of different jobs at the Tesco and have found these to be the most suitable for me
as they are entry level jobs that are mostly for young people that don’t need a lot of experience. The
business advertise a range of different vacancies on their website in all their locations in the UK and
these are the most suitable for me as they are close and as they are entry level jobs it would be more
suitable for me rather than a managerial position which would need a lot of experience to apply for.
These are job adverts that Tesco have put on their website for their stores in Milton Keynes and these
are all different roles that the business needs and they range from temporary contracts to permanent
contracts. Tesco advertises most of their job roles on their website and these are mostly roles that are in
their stores so sales assistant roles and managerial roles that the business has vacancies for.
This is the role that I have chosen to apply for as its in the local area and the position is suitable for me
and this is a job that I am able to do.
