Recruitment needs differ by role and organisation. The answers below are general guidance; confirm the scope, timing and terms for any specific assignment directly.
For employers
What is the difference between recruitment and selection?
Recruitment is the process of attracting and finding potential applicants for a role. Selection is the assessment and decision-making process used to choose whom to appoint. The steps vary by role and employer.
What recruitment support can an employer request?
Depending on the agreed brief, support may include executive search, talent sourcing or job advertising. Confirm the deliverables, responsibilities and fees before work begins. See the recruitment services overview for the current service areas.
What should a hiring brief include?
Include the role’s purpose and expected outcomes, key responsibilities, essential and preferred skills, location and working arrangements, compensation range if available, target dates, decision-makers and planned interview stages. A clear brief helps everyone understand the requirement.
How are recruitment fees agreed?
Fees depend on the service and agreed scope. Ask for a written proposal that explains the fee basis, included work, any third-party advertising costs, payment timing and any agreed replacement terms. Do not assume fixed rates or guaranteed outcomes unless they are expressly set out in the agreement.
How long does recruitment take?
There is no single timeline. Role scope, candidate availability, notice periods and the employer’s decision process all affect timing. Agree target milestones and feedback dates with the people involved.
