Furthermore, Hendra stated that these changes affected the increasingly complex jobdesk as HR. “HR is expected to be able to communicate to prepare solutions for the direction of company development. HR not only utilizes its resources as capital, but can also build and develop these resources,” said Hendra.
The recruitment process cycle begins with preparing job advertisements via LinkedIn and other job portals. Then, the stage of sourcing and screening CVs, as well as social media for prospective employees. After the screening process is carried out, the next stage is selecting through assessments, interviews, and others. In this stage, the company also provides offers regarding salary determination, insurance, and other benefits. The last stage is onboarding after the signing of the contract by the prospective employee.
HR currently generally uses a framework with the concept of how to attract employees with the stages of Attraction (Reputation, Employee Value Proposition, Experience), Recruitment, Onboarding, Separation, and Development. “Companies need to build their best image in the eyes of the public through a good work culture, a place for employees to grow, and positive branding. So, employees will be proud to work for their company,” said Hendra.
