Personnel departments are usually involved in finding new staff and recruiting them.

Recruitment is the process of employing new people. It will vary from one organization to another.

When a company needs to recruit or employ new staff, it may advertise the vacancyin newspapers, or may contact an employment agency, a private company that matches jobseekers with jobs. Companies looking for senior staff may approach people working for another company. This practice is known as headhunting. Headhunters are specialist consultants who search for high-level executives and try to persuade them to leave their current job in order to go to work in another company. Executives may be persuaded to move company by the promise of a golden hello: a large sum of money or some other financial enticement offered by the company they move to.

If you area jobseeker and you are interested in a particular post, you may decide to apply for the job.The first step is to get an application form and a job description from the company. The next step is to complete the form and return it with your curriculum vitae (CV, BrE ) or resume (AmE), which is a summary of your work history, education and skills. You should also send a covering letter, supporting your CV. By doing this you have become an applicant. The company's Human Resources department will select the most suitable applicants and invite them to attend an interview.
