Recruitment, Selection and Appointment
What's in this topic area
Staffing your school is one of the most crucial activities that managers and governors undertake, regardless of organisation size. The recruitment and selection process covers a diverse range of activities, commencing with a review of the post to be filled, a decision on the type of contract to be offered and how and when to advertise. Assuming a suitable pool of candidates can be established, time and effort must be expended on devising appropriate selection activities and interview questions as well as organising the selection day. If a person is successfully identified for appointment there are a range of pre-employment checks that need to be undertaken before the offer of appointment becomes unconditional.
The effort required to undertake a recruitment process properly is time well spent as the implications of poor appointment choices can be substantial in terms of the time and cost to rectify the situation subsequently, as well as associated reputational impact where poor performers or disengaged individuals are working directly with pupils, parents or other stakeholders.
