Recruitment and Selection Committee (Panels)

The process of hiring the and selection depends on the type of employee or person needed in this
organization there are two types of selection panels will be created for this organization the first
panel which solely responsible for the selection of the top management for this organization
should be high qualified and at least of the 5 years in relevant fields. The goal of this panel is to
select a person who is unique in comprehension of the functional component of the organization
have good exposure of the current trends in his field. If we go in more details the first panel has
the duty to make sure to select those persons who are have good eye on cognitive science of the
field.

The second panel is responsible for selection of the all the executives and workers for this
organization due to nature for this organization skills needed for this organization is related to
food processing, as per the technology changing more and more machines and robots now takes
position in this types of business so therefore the panel may also ensure the selected peoples
must have good knowledge or experience with machines related to this type of food chain. The
second most important consideration the selected employee must show the cleanness in his / her
habits as because the success of this business depends on the cleanliness of the environment of
this organization.

The second panel should have count of 5 persons and it is also recommended the panel must
have mixed gender if this organization exists in those area where the masses have mixed races
and different beliefs and tribes resides than HR make sure the panel may represents all of the
statistical representation of general masses in panel the point is here is simple if the organization
reflected with the beliefs, races and tribal alignments may attract more consumers and different
dynamics of the real world.
At least the HR department will make training videos and create small booklets for hiring the
third layer executives and workforce, the training videos may have duration of 15-30 minutes
and have specific points related to how to seeks the relevant skills sets in future employees for
this organization.

The commencement of any set of interviews the panel must sit back and argue over the desired
skills and schedules interview the panel may also prepare questionnaire and a little test if needed.
It is also important any casual or associate agency member is not the part of the selection panel
one of the member of this panel must attended the training from HR.

It is neither necessary nor requirement the Head of department is to present at schedule interview
but it is recommend for the panel the interview must be conducted with the equality and diversity
in full consideration and further advice should be sought from the director of the department but
these are those considerations which are important for junior or layer three work force.

Shortlisting

The panel start shortlisting candidates as soon as possible this task enable other members of the
team to view applicants qualification and synthesis process which is completed in recent
interviews it is also important the technology plays important role here all the requires and
desired skills sets may written in excel sheets and the submitted applicants skills sets side by side
in excel sheets.

There are also the metrics present in excel sheets if the desired skills sets is not present in town
then the nearest skills sets or if the person fulfill the 65% of requires sets may nominate as the
final interview call to discuss the salary band of the particular job.

The panel also the developed the shortlist grid which trigger the usefulness of the selection
process all of the selected shortlist candidates must fall in this grid the decision of the final
interview depends on the how far the person lies in the grid.

Those applicants who are not fall in shortlist grid must be inserted in to the noncontact list it is
the responsibility of HR to create the secure computerize list where all such applications
information have been put it is also recommended those applicants who fall in this list may not
call again by any means or by no other criteria

The other major consideration all those applicants who are references by inner resource pool may
not guaranteed interview the entire process of selection or shortlisting have not effect on inner
resource pool references and general adverts send to media.

The entire process completed in timely fashion all the interview calls and schedules must be
advise by HR departments those candidates who meets the essential criteria are further
suggested to the further process of the selection process
 The HR department also have the capacity of the online recruitment systems which enables
easily access all the details of the recruitments process this system also accessible by all the
panels including the head of department.

The process to discuss the salary bands is a unique one as because this is the process which
directly reflect the cost of production of Cafe Sole Chain the salary band have different ranges
for different types of work force before communicating with the applicants the expected band
must be decided for any particular job it also the common practice in certain area of this country
some of the professionals wants to show expected salary exaggerated against having skills sets if
the panel have no such information it is the duty for HR to provide current salary bands for
different types of employees here lies another factor as because of human nature may be one of
the panel member offer high enough salary band to reduce such type of malfunctions the hired
person salary band may check by HR, does the selected person qualify for this band.

The selected candidate may also pass from all of the criminal records or any other terrorist
activities due to last years some of the western citizens may involve in ISIS activates the café
sole chain may also ensure all those future employees not have any links with these types of
activities

Preparing for Assessment

The individuals for final assessments are those who conducted the interviews and shortlist the
responsibility of this group is before submitting the final result the panel must consult with head
of department this group select a specific day for final results of the interview process all of the
results may display on organization website. There are three types of assessment criteria which
are follows
 Salary band
 Skills sets
 The Grid of HR

If the person meets the above criteria the department of HR confirmed the final list this list may
also publish on website there is also the clear guideline also display on website if his name on
final list what type of documents and certificates he or she may also bring for final interview if
candidate have some problem in bringing such documents the panel may take advise from the
HR department.

In addition to the panel also prepare the General computer assessments test like to check the
abilities of using or utilizing the normal software e.g. Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel

The evidences for education, experience and all special certification if employees have also bring
with final interview call if panel suggested some cooking test or other technical test it must
perform before final discussion and in some cases if the selection is for general workers class a
normal type of venue will be selected for all of the applicants and the relevant test and technical
test will perform on venue
The psychometric testing also have great importance before commencing the interview process a
minor type of psychometric testing has been done it will eliminate all of the such applicants who
have great skills sets but fail on psychometric testing.

Interview Process

The questions and interview assessments must be based on desired skills sets and specification of
the required job before commencing the interview the panel also on accordance with the
questionnaire prepared for this role the in interview the effective behavior based on Ethics code

Ethics code for any physical behavior the security staff may del with this.

During the interview notes should be taken on the candidate assessment sheets by each panel
member so that they can be referred back to when assessing candidates against the person
specification and deciding who to appoint. Under the Data Protection Act, notes of the interview
should be kept locally by the recruiting manager for a minimum of 12 months following the
selection process, after which they can be destroyed confidentially.

Panel members should agree before the interviews commence whether or not they will be
discussing each candidate after each interview, or at the end of the interviews. It is possible to do
this after each interview, but it is recommended that the assessment be done at the end as panel
members will be in a better position to compare each candidate. In particular, if all candidates are
interviewed on the same day or within a short period of time, it is recommended that discussion
of the candidates should take place only when they all have been interviewed.
