This paper will cover the main areas of a selection and recruitment process from applying for a job, resum writing, participating in an interview finalising the job offer._x000D_
A holistic recruitment process has many facets to it. These processes can be quite sophisticated and technical but at the end of the day they are designed to identify talent._x000D_
A recruitment process will generally include: ability testing (usually online); telephone interview; face to face interview; behaviourally based interviews; psychometric assessments; presentations; simulations (independent or team based); and assessment centres, etc._x000D_
