Purpose
Recruitment encompasses the entire process from identifying the need for a role/task to onboarding the selected candidate, including advertising, interviewing, offering terms, and completing probation.
Recruitment templates serve as pre-designed documents that offer a structured framework for various stages of the recruitment process. They aid in streamlining and standardising procedures, saving time, and maintaining consistency throughout hiring activities. Commonly used templates include those for job postings, job applications, interview guides, and offer letters.
Utilising recruitment templates ensures that all aspects of the process - from job postings to offers - adhere to consistency, fairness, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. However, customising these templates is crucial to align them with the specific needs and policies of your organisation and the role being filled.
