Practice Guidelines -  Recruitment, Selection and Appointment

The practice guidelines accompany most of the topics in the Manager’s HR Toolkit, but are broader and more in-depth. You will use them when you want to learn more about the range of options available to you at a particular step of a staffing action, and to get more in-depth background information on particular topics.

These are “live” documents that that will be changed and updated as we learn more about new ways of staffing. We look forward to incorporating suggestions and recommendations from users – so please use the “feedback” feature, found on most pages of this toolkit, to pass along your comments.
