The Workforce Planning and Employment: Sourcing and Selecting Candidates course is the 8th of 20 courses developed as part of the Human Resources Certification Program.

HR professionals must have a solid understanding of the internal and external recruitment strategies, as well as the most effective sources for qualified applicants. In addition, we'll explore selection procedures, pre-employment testing, and interviewing strategies. We'll end this course with information on job offers and negotiation.

In our first topic, Internal and External Recruitment Sources and Employment Branding, our focus will be on internal and external recruitment sources, developing and implementing our selected recruitment methods, and marketing the company to potential qualified applicants.

In topic two, Develop and Implement Selection Procedures, HR is responsible for developing and implementing selection procedures related to applicant tracking, interviewing, and reference and background checks.

The best selection process is useless if it's cost prohibitive. In topic 3, Selection Tests and Interviews, you'll be introduced to the concepts of reliability and validity in selection tools and increase your knowledge of various selection tests and interviewing techniques.

Rewards are only a part of an overall compensation package. In topic 4, Make Offers and Conduct Negotiations,the employment offer process is explored and capped off with a look at employment contracts.
