Recruitment Documentation
Each organisation will carry out a process when they are recruiting so they can make sure that they got the
best candidate possible for the position they needed filling with the correct skills and qualifications.
The first step for John Lewis would be to carry out a job analysis, this is where they would look at their
current employees and would identify their strengths that would be needed in the perfect candidate, and
they could also look at the weaknesses in employees and see what they would need to improve on. Another
method would be by carrying out interviews with their current employees to see what they would expect
from future employees. This helps to give senior management important information on the candidate that
they require in the business. John Lewis will carry out these methods to be able to find the potential
candidate for the job.
The business would then look at the information which has been gathered and would create a description
for the job role that they had available. In the description they could include information such as the working
hours for the job the pay and the responsibilities that the candidate would have if they got the jobs
The screenshot shows the job description of a section
manager in the company John Lewis. They would put
together a document which would inform potential
employees about the job position that is available.
In the job description they will focus on two areas, the first
area would be the purpose of the job role and the
qualification that would be required. The second area
would focus on the responsibly and tasks that the
candidate would be carrying out in the specific role that
they applied for. They would then also create a job
specification which would inform the candidates on the
skills and abilities that they would need to be accountable
for the position which is available.
After they have written up the document they would start to advertise it so that potential candidates would
start to apply. The advertisement would be done on the John Lewis website if it was external recruitment
and would be advertised within the business if they were recruiting internally. Once they have advertised
their job position then they would start to look at the potential candidates that have applied and would
short list them to the ones that matched the criteria that they were looking for.
The shortlisted candidates would then be asked to attend an interview where they would talk about their
skills, qualifications and any experience that they had. John Lewis conducts these interviews so that they can
meet the candidate and get a better view on them and if they would be suitable for the job. If the candidate
was successful with the interview then they would be informed about their success and would sign the
contract of their employment. This will be a document which shows the duties of the employee and the
employer, this is too protect both of the individuals and make sure that they are being treat fairly.
