Recruitment, it follows, is about attracting and securing talent for the organisation and includes the process of matching individuals with work. Selection is deciding 'best possible fit' between people and roles.

Effective recruitment:

• Reflects organisation direction
• Attracts the right people
• Minimises risk to the organisation
• Acknowledges the changing nature of work and individuals' career aspirations
• Influences job and organisation design
• Maximises benefit from internal job markets

It is really quite simple - to be successful, organisations need to get better at:

• Describing what they want [see Selecting The Best]
• Exploiting the match between personal capability and job deliverables
• Acknowledging individual career aspirations
• Recognising and rewarding talent
• Supporting personal development

That is why the New Horizons team is well equipped to help you describe your ideal organisation, write output-focused role descriptions (that balance individual capability requirements with job deliverables) and recommend appropriate selection methods in order to help you make informed selection decisions.

New Horizons can ensure that your organisation's selection processes are:

• Clearly defined and transparent
• Robust and consistent
• Valid and defensible
• Well documented and measurable
• Compliant with current legislation
