Through the practical exercises to be used during the training, participants will learn how the effective sources of recruitment as well as the current selection methods to hire the right candidates are crucial to meeting business needs for manpower.
In this regard therefore, the Federation wishes to invite your organization to nominate participant(s) at the said workshops.

WORKSHOP PROFILE RECRUITMENT & SELECTION, 20th – 21st JUNE 2024, GARDEN COURT HOTEL, KITWE
Recruitment and Selection system and practices is the cornerstone of human resource function. This is because without the right talent, sourced and selected with the appropriate methods, no other functions in the organisation can operate at the optimal level. Accordingly, it is critical that line managers and human resource practitioners acquire a good knowledge and skills to sharpen their ability to seek and select the right employees in terms of behaviour, skills and competencies.
Job description, derived from job analysis, is a business tool as it helps the organisation to hunt for talent of different profiles and to reward and develop them accordingly to meet the business requirements. Without hiring right, all subsequent human resource activities are not aligned.
Therefore, it is important that HR practitioners as business partners and hiring line managers be equipped with the knowledge and skills to write a good job description to use it to match and hire the potential employees with the skills needed to support business goals and objectives. Organisations that implement proper job descriptions are able to align their talent recruitment to business since employees will be suitably sourced and chosen to match their needs and the organisation.
The key objective of this workshop is to share knowledge with participants on thorough handling of job recruitment and selection systems and techniques. Through the practical exercises to be used during the training, participants will learn how the effective sources of recruitment as well as the current selection methods to hire the right candidates are crucial to meeting business needs for manpower.
