Recruitment Responsibility

1

There is a recruitment team and manager dedicated to recruitment. However the

accountability of this team and the accountability of HR and recruiting managers for recruitment activities

and performance (including in particular candidate management) is

unclear.

Clear definition, buy-in and understanding of recruitment

responsibilities across CompanyX to include candidate

management, and overall performance (including costs,

TTH and quality).

Process Management 1

Recruitment processes are ill defined and unclear across the organisation. Local processes in particular areas, e.g. for

volume roles, are understood and practiced. However the process for

recruiting specialist roles and procedures between offices is different

and varies between roles even.

A single consistent recruitment process that provides all stakeholders with a consistent experience and is adhered to.
