Receiving applications can be an exciting time as this proves that your advertising was successful and you have attracted prospective employees to your post. The next step in the process is to ensure that you select the best applicant from those who have applied, for your business.

It is important to have clear procedures in place through this next part of the process to show that you have selected your new employee in a non-discriminatory way.

The following tools will ensure that your selection and appointment process goes smoothly:

• you have a selection ‘panel’ in place
• the panel is clear on the objectives of the process
• there are specific recording procedures in place for each stage
• the interview procedures and content has been planned
• you have considered all resources needed
• you have notified each applicant

A well planned process will result in a stress free experience and hopefully a positive outcome.
