D3 Evaluate how well the recruitment and selection process complied with best practice, drawing
reasoned conclusions as to how it will support your future career.
In this section of the report I will evaluate how well the recruitment and selection process complied with
the best practice. I will also draw a reasoned conclusion on how this will support my future career. This
will include outlining the recruitment and selection process and explaining the ways in which this
process could have been better and this unit will support me in the future.
As previously mentioned Tesco’s recruitment and
selection process starts from identifying the vacancy.
Vacancies can occur due to an individual leaving the job,
retiring or promoted to a different position or is on a
leave. When planning to recruit new employees the
business would need to consider the costs and if it is
necessary to employ more workers therefore this needs
to be formally agreed too.
Secondly, I needed to draw up a job description, this highlighted the role, responsibilities and duties that
the chosen candidate would need to acquire for a particular job. For example, working as a store
manager for Tesco, the candidate would need to have a good understanding on how to manage and
solve customer problems. This will help the business to meet their customer needs and provide good
service. In order to get a good candidate for this job role I also would need to identify the job title, the
duties and the expected salary level.
Next, I needed to write up a person specification; this is a description of the qualifications, skills,
experiences, knowledge and other attributes required from a candidate in order to perform the job
duties. The specification had to be derived from the job description and forms the foundation for the
recruitment process1.
After this I created an advertisement for the vacancy in order to attract skilled candidates for the job of a
store manager. Advertisements include information on the conditions of employment such as salary,
working hours, how to apply for the post, closing dates, job description and person specification. I could
use the internal and external methods to advertise a vacancy. Internal recruitment involves employees
within the business to fill in this position. For example, an internal method would be posting the job
advertisement inside the business through notice boards and company intranets. On the other hand,
external methods of recruitment include advertising to individuals outside the business. Therefore, the
business would advertise on newspapers, online or billboards for potential applicants to find out about
the job vacancy and be recruited through recruitment agencies.
After this I created an application form which stated all the personal information I required from the
candidates such as name, birth date and addresses. Next, it was the candidate’s role to apply for the
vacancy. Candidates can apply for jobs through certain job websites such as Tesco careers 2. The
candidate would need to find the job they want to apply for and click the ‘Apply’ button to open the
application form. The website would require the candidate to fill in their personal details as well as their
email and upload their CV. The candidate would be able to long into an account through email and track
