Executive Summary

Healthcare United (HU) has to address several areas of their recruitment and selection policy. It need to be identified that the responsibility for implementation of these policies is in the hands of Executive Managers and department heads/line managers. The timeframes for all of the tasks need to be looked at and it should be noted that the guidelines are all encompassing (i.e. for all levels of staff recruited).

This would be required at all levels – from CEO/GM through to line managers and administration staff. Below is an analysis of the policy and guidelines with comments made on various procedures.
