Recruitment Plan Template
What is a recruitment plan?
A recruitment plan is a strategic document outlining the systematic approach an organization takes to attract, evaluate, and hire qualified individuals for job openings. It encompasses various elements, such as defining job requirements, sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, and finalizing offers, with the goal of acquiring the right talent to meet organizational needs.

A recruitment plan is imperative to ensure that you recruit the right talent for your business. It may sound like common sense; however, many companies don't have a plan, and they just run through a process, and by luck, they manage to tick all the boxes that are necessary.
Having a road map of the necessary stages within the recruitment process could ensure that you get that 'A grade' candidate for your business, rather than settling for B or C. Planning a recruitment campaign takes time. You're probably looking at dedicating half a day or a day to getting it right.
The difference in your approach to recruiting will be huge. Many people think that working to a checklist is a waste of time. But look at the consequences of getting it wrong.
We estimate that the wrong recruit will cost your business around 3.75 times their basic salary. Add onto that the impact it will have on your client base of a changing account manager.
Add onto that the impact it will have on the rest of the team. And the cost is enormous.
So by just dedicating half a day, looking at your recruitment process to get it right is not a waste of time. To help you put together the checklist to get recruitment right, we've put together a 48-stage recruitment checklist.
You may be thinking, 48 stages? Is that really necessary? Probably 35 of these you'll be doing anyway. But I hope that there are some steps in there you haven't thought of that will assist you in making the right hiring decision.
