The Job Hiring Process

[Md. Anikuzzaman]

As you review the job search process from your perspective, it is also important to understand the hiring process from an employer perspective. Following is the basic flow for most employers:

Develop workforce plan
Current staff
Attrition (voluntary and involuntary)
Planned growth or contraction targets
Financial plan targets
Workforce required to meet financial and growth targets
Hiring required to meet financial and growth targets
Experienced hires
Entry level hires
Develop hiring plan
Candidate sourcing
On-campus recruiting
Internet job sites
Employee referrals
Job fairs
Newspaper/other advertising
Direct sourcing
Third party recruiting
Candidate screening
Job fairs
Phone interviews
In person interviews
On-campus interviews
Company site interviews
Post interview
Gather interviewer feedback
Decision
Offer
Background check
Extend offer
Offer acceptance confirmation
Onboarding
Required logistics (work location, badge, employment and tax forms, equipment assignment, etc.)
Performance planning
Learning and development planning

While the hiring process is different from your job search process, you need to understand where you fit into the employer's process. So start at the beginning to build a firm career foundation.
