Too often, recruitment is seen as a stop-gap exercise, designed to fill a vacancy as quickly and cheaply as possible. Convenience and availability are often the priority, with too little thought given to long-term considerations. This book puts recruitment firmly into the context of a long-term personnel plan. It shows how to introduce the plan, how to recruit staff at all levels and how to develop the plan on an on-going basis. The book is supported by real documents, action checklists, chapter summaries, useful contacts and recommended reading sections.
