This study examines the current recruitment and selection processes in the case company
Viaminnet Oy. This Bachelor’s thesis is a project-based study. The primary objective of this study was to establish recruitment and selection guidelines for Viaminnet Oy. The importance of the candidate experience during the recruitment and selection process was enhanced. The international aspect of the recruitment and selection process was also taken into consideration to prove that the guidelines were suitable for international recruitments.
The study consisted of six project tasks that supported the main project objective. The six
project tasks included: preparing the theoretical framework, establishing selection criteria
through qualitative interviews and an analysis of the current process and development
needs, deciding the recruitment channels, preparing the recruitment and selection guideline, presenting the recruitment and selection guideline, and evaluating of the project.
The study included a qualitative research method. Qualitative interviews with the commissioning company managers and employees were held to find out how the recruitment and selection process is conducted and what the development needs are. Two company managers and two employees were interviewed.
The analysis of the interviews indicated that the company did not have a clear recruitment
and selection process and there was relevant documentation missing. The interview offered a selection criteria for a sales associate position as well as the duties and responsibilities of the salesperson to establish a job description and job advertisement. The company’s main need was to have a clear recruitment and selection process with relevant recruitment channels to get enough skilled employees for the company.
Based on the results from the qualitative interviews, the recruitment and selection guidelines were established. The guidelines were designed visually to have a clear and simple vision of the needed actions to carry out a professional recruitment process. The new recruitment and selection guidelines included: an overview of the process with communication between the candidate and the company, a division of the overview for three different process phases, and a recruitment and selection schedule with relevant documentation needed for the completion of the process. Together these guidelines and documents provided a standardized and professional recruitment and selection process.
The conclusion of the thesis includes the key outcomes of the project, recommendations,
suggestions for future research, project evaluation, and the author's reflection on learning.
