Recruitment of Personnel and Performance Management
No matter the size of the organisation or the industry in which you operate, recruitment is always a very important function.
What are your current Recruitment skills like? What style of interviewer are you? What results do you currently get from your recruitment system? Do you hire in your own image? Do you match the applicants with your specific needs?
The expense involved in hiring the wrong person especially at a senior level can mount up to be several hundred thousand dollars. Even at an entry level position, costs can build into tens of thousands of dollars in order to change a poor recruitment decision. This process can be used to handle entry positions as well as internal promotions.
Our recruitment model has been tested over many years in a variety of industries and companies. The planning phase is critical for the success of the recruitment outcome. There are many steps that can be included in the planning phase.
Performance management includes activities to ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner. Performance management can focus on performance of the organisation, a department, processes to build a product or service, employees.
The Performance Management approach is used most often in the workplace but applies wherever people interact—schools, churches, community meetings, sports teams, health setting, governmental agencies, and even political settings. Performance Management principles are needed wherever in the world people interact with their environments to produce desired effects. Cultures are different but the laws of behavior are the same worldwide. Performance Management can be described a a strategic and integrated approach to increasing the effectiveness of organisations by improving the performance of the people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of teams and individual contributors.
It is possible to get all employees to reconcile personal goals with organisational goals. One can turn around any marginal business and increase productivity and profitability for any organization, with the transparent and hidden forces embedded in this process.

First of all, deriving from the strategic plan, a commitment analysis must be done, where a job mission statement is drawn up for each job. The job mission statement is a job definition in terms of purpose, customers, product and scope. The aim with this analysis is to determine the continuous key objectives and performance standards for each job position.
Following the commitment analysis, is the work analysis of a particular job in terms of the reporting structure and job description. If a job description is not available, then a systems analysis can be done to draw up a job description. The aim with this analysis is to determine the continuous critical objectives and performance standards for each job.
