Recruitment and Selection Process of Tesco
Recruitment refers to select the right person for the right position of the job. Selecting the person who has proper knowledge and skills for a specific job should hire him for the job. Tesco is very much cautious about selecting the right employees for their organization (Karen, 1993). Their main motive is to select qualified skilled employees for their organization. Recruitment and selection process of Tesco will be discussed in the following part of this study
Advertise of the job vacancy
Tesco first identifies the empty positions of all different departments of the organization and then make a list of required employees. After that, find out all possible qualifications and skills which are needed for the empty posts separately. When all information is gathered, Tesco publishes job advertisement through newspaper, magazine, television as well as the internet.
Check the application
After seeing job advertisement interest, people apply through the Tesco website or send their CV through email to the HR manager. When the deadline is over, the HR department checks all the application and make a shortlist of that applicant based on their qualification and skills.
Telephone interview
HR personnel manager gives the telephone to the shortlisted applicant and takes an interview over the telephone. Generally, it takes 10 to 15 minutes, and he will ask the applicant about their educational qualification, the experience of the previous job, skills, and UK job rights, and so on.
Final store interview
Based on the telephone interview, the HR personnel manager selects some applicants whose interview was good over the telephone, call them for a face to face interview in the store. In the final interview, the interviewer asks questions regarding basic customer services, their qualifications, skills, knowledge, work experience, nationality, work right, and so on.
