RECRUITMENT
– MUCH MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Recruitment is all about human dynamics,
and as such is a challenging and exciting game.

Look Out
Like all relationships, it can be
fraught with pitfalls, but knowing
what to look out for can make life
a lot easier and painless for all
parties involved. This is where a
recruitment agent’s expertise
comes in.
Matching
Requirements
A recruitment agent works closely
with both the employer and selected
candidates. Extreme care is taken
to match the experience and abilities
of an individual to the job requirements
of a particular position.
Mutually Beneficial
The agent has a responsibility to
ensure that the needs and expectations
of both the employer and candidate
are met; only in this way can a successful,
mutually beneficial relationship be
guaranteed. |
Unique Culture
Every organisation has a unique identity,
and an understanding of the organisational
culture plays a vitally important role in
securing the right people, and in the retention
of valued staff.
| Here the employer
can play a major role by ensuring
that: |
| |
| • |
clear objectives
are set, |
| • |
regular performance management
takes place and |
| • |
growth and development opportunities
are in place. |
|
| New Employee
Planning |
| |
| • |
New employees
should receive a proper orientation
and be inducted into the organisation’s
vision and mission and policies
and procedures. |
| • |
Putting a Personal Development
Plan in place for a new employee
can also assist in the retention
of valued staff. |
|
The last thing an employer
wants is to spend months training someone
only to lose them to the competition.
| Food for Thought |
| |
| • |
With the World
Cup on our doorstep, all eyes
will be on South Africa and
many businesses will have the
opportunity to showcase their
products and services. |
| • |
In particular the hospitality
industry, already one of the
fastest growing industries in
the Western Cape, will benefit
enormously from the influx of
foreign visitors. |
| • |
Conversely, demands and expectations
from foreign visitors will put
additional pressure on service
levels, which many businesses
are already struggling to improve.
|
|
Solution
Hotels, restaurants and other operations
in the hospitality industry have shown
an interest in jacking up their service
standards in preparation, and in this
respect it is worthwhile for them
to consider employing experts from
abroad, for example from Europe. |
Fresh blood is invigorating,
and employing top staff has a knock-on effect.
In Conclusion - Get the
Best, Use Experts
Recruiting an individual from one
of the renowned European hotel schools
or a person with valuable and exceptional
skills practically guarantees knowledge
transfer and heightened motivation
within the organisation. |
In this case, using an agency that networks
with foreign partners and has access to
a broad pool of international candidates
is hugely beneficial.
