3. 3. Pitfalls in Recruiting
iHRM 18.03.2012 Recruiting
Scoping
When drawing up a job description and person specification, make sure
they are relevant, reflect the work and do not discriminate. For example,
do not ask for a driving licence unless the role requires driving, as this
could discriminate against people with some disabilities.
Advertising
By placing a discriminatory job advertisement, you could face claims
from unsuccessful applicants and also from would-be applicants who
were put off applying.
Wrong Spending
Spending several thousand of Euros on a national newspaper
advertisement without giving due thought to the messages being sent,
the candidate specification, package, etc.
