Does your organization waste salary or non salary resources?
The position description should reflect current practice guidelines and include:
● Principal duties and responsibilities involved in a particular job ● Tasks required to carry out those duties ● Personal qualifications (skills, abilities, knowledge, and traits) needed for the position ● Competency-based behaviors (perhaps)
Recruiting Applicants The purpose of recruitment is to locate and attract enough qualified applicants to provide a pool from which the required number of individuals can be selected. Even though recruiting is pri- marily carried out by HR staff and nurse recruiters, nurse managers and nursing staff play an important role in the process. Recruiting is easier when current employees spread the recruiting message, reducing the need for expensive advertising and reward methods.
The best recruitment strategy is the organization’s reputation among its nurses. Aiken and colleagues (Aiken et al., 2008) found that a positive hospital care environment not only reduced patient mortality but improved nurses’ perception of the work setting. Brady-Schwartz (2005) found that nurses in Magnet hospitals demonstrated higher levels of job satisfaction than those in non-Magnet hospitals. It follows that satisfied nurses are more likely to speak highly of the organization.
