Recruitment refers to the overall process of identifying, sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and interviewing candidates for jobs within an organization. It is a core function of the HR department. There are many stages in the recruitment process. Thus, the human resource department has to go through various stages of recruitment to hire great employees.

The recruitment life cycle refers to the entire hiring process. And all the phases from which the hiring manager and recruiter undergo. Different terms may be used for this process such as

      · Recruitment life cycle process
      · Full life cycle recruiting process
      · End to end recruitment life cycle process
      · HR recruitment life cycle
      · Recruitment life cycle in HR
      · 360 Recruitment​

The recruitment life cycle is about managing and handling each stage of hiring. This is what end-to-end recruitment is. As we know, the whole recruitment process is made up of different stages.

Here are the 7 stages of recruitment that are the primary reason for successful hiring.

        1. Understanding Requirements
        2. Preparing Job Description
        3. Sourcing
        4. Screening
        5. Selection
        6 Hiring
        7 Onboarding

Recruitment Step #1: Understanding Requirements

The first recruitment stage of the full recruitment life cycle is to gather the requirements from the client or hiring manager and conduct an examination e.g., gap analysis to identify what's the best way to meet their job position-related expectations and needs.

It is essential to get this step of the recruitment process right because it will determine the rest of your full recruitment life cycle process. Be well-prepared and define what it is that the next hire should fulfil and what type of person is the best for that role.

The main focusable points are:

      ·  Size of organization
      ·  Salary range and structure
      ·  Company culture and work environment of the organization
      ·  Growth percentage of the company
      ·  Number of requirements
      ·  Skills, qualification and experience
      ·  The current state of employment

Recruitment Step #2: Preparing Job Description

The checklist of the perfect job description:

      ·   Company name and detail
      ·   Type of job/ job title
      ·   Number of the open position
      ·   Salary structure
      ·   Location
      ·   Duties' description
      ·   Specific skill, knowledge and experience
      ·   Additional skills and knowledge that will add advantages
      ·   Benefit offer

​Recruitment Step #3: Sourcing

There are various ways and places for attracting the right candidate, but these are the most frequent forms:

      ·  Job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed, CV-Library etc)
      ·   SB-Recruit Portal
      ·   Social media recruiting
      ·   Searching the web
      ·   Referrals
      ·   In-house recruiting

​Recruitment Step #4: Application screening

One of the most time-consuming and demanding stages, screening stands for going through and evaluating all the job applications.

While it's challenging, this step is also critical to identifying the best talent, and you need to analyze each resume and cover letter carefully, paying attention to the detail. You can consider using built-in features in various job portals that will speed up the recruitment process.

As you seek a resume that points to a candidate who would be a perfect fit for the job role, you can also conduct a brief phone interview to weed out incompatible job applicants. That's also a great way to get more insights into who are the persons behind the resumes.

​Recruitment Step #5: Selection

Another key stage of the recruitment process, the selection includes conducting thorough interviews with the best talents who passed the screening phase. By now, you should be sure what you are looking for to fill the position and what kind of a candidate will feel the most comfortable in your company, and in return, give the best results

Ensure that you are ready for this stage of the full recruitment life cycle, that you have prepared questions and that you have a method of getting the answer to all you need to know.

Recruitment Step #6: Hiring

As you finalize the selection phase, you will probably already have an idea of who is the ideal employee. The final decision comes after going again through all the insights and data. It's recommendable to talk about the decision with other team members and departments. Once you have the decision, it's time to invite the candidate and give an official job offer.

 Include all the terms of hiring, including the salary, schedule, working hours, and potential deal-breakers. Be aware that you might have to negotiate these terms, which is why you need to determine beforehand what is non-negotiable.

Recruitment Step #7: Onboarding

Make sure that you have a good onboarding strategy because this is a crucial stage, and it might affect whether the employee will want to continue working in the company. Create an engaging and detailed onboarding, with a welcome pack and team introduction.

The outcome of your full recruitment life cycle process should be an employee who feels ready to start working because they have all the necessary information about their job position and the company.
