Recruitment is linked to other practices. If it is difficult to recruit the desired volume of people, or the desired competencies and qualities needed:
• What reasons might there be for not being able to hit the desired recruitment volumes or competencies?
• What problems have to be solved for each of your different reasons?
• What solutions to these problems might be possible, within the bounds of reasonable costs?
• If the recruitment and selection process is poor, how will this impact other parts of the HRM system, such as training and development, performance management, and pay and rewards?
