In this assessment we are going to Identify the recruitment needs and administer recruitment. We are going to use the scenario of PAX HOTEL. You are the Human Resource Manager of this hotel.

You have had meetings with the general manager and department heads and you have become aware of the need to recruit new staff in the hospitality department to meet increased demand.

To recruit, hire and induct the new staff for the hotel you will need to complete several different steps. First step is to begin your research, make sure you consider the following:

• Determine the number of staff required (You must choose a minimum of three (3) which includes
one from each of the categories above.
• Determine the employment structure) i.e. full time, part time or contract etc)
• For this assessment you must choose one (1) permanent and one (1) casual and one (1) volunteer - for your 3-new staff).
• How the applicant will apply. E.g. telephone. email or online
• How you plan on interviewing the applicant e.g. one person or a panel interview.
• Most importantly -Determine the essential selection criteria for the job. - what skills must they have? What qualifications must they hold? What characteristics must they demonstrate for the role?
• Detail the Selection Criteria I.e. Job Description for Three (3) of the above employment categories

Once you have completed this initial research you will then create a:

Job Description

This job description is based on the positions x (3) you chose for the hotel. If you have never prepared a job description before you may like to use the template: Use the link below.

These templates and tools are created by Fair Work - (Government organisation that helps support businesses/employers and employees) These templates are available to download and customise for any business.

Once you have completed the job description you will then research job advertisements, read through the information provided by Fair work or in your learner guide to ensure you understand the difference between a job description and a job advertisement. Next create your job advertisement for your position(s) at the ‘PAX HOTEL.' You will compile this research and your documents ready to be submitted to the Operations manager for ‘approval of the recruitment based on Pax's organisational recruitment policies and procedures.

Job Advertisement

Now that you have your 3 x job descriptions - / (selection criteria) you will proceed with the recruitment selection and orientating phases. Your job advertisement will be based on your completed job description. The aim of the advertisement is to "attract" the right candidate to your organisation and the role.

So, it is important that you show the benefits that a candidate would gain by working for your company. Include your logo and branding -Consider the look and feel of the job advertisement.
