Apple’s Hiring Strategy

Apple is one of the most popular recruitment companies in the world. Apple is known for their innovation and talented workforce throughout the world. Hence the recruitment strategy of the company also includes some strict recruitment policies. Apple mainly focuses on evaluating a candidate’s skills and talents before finally making the hiring decision. The recruitment and selection process includes three to four rounds of interviews after starting the listing of the candidate based on this CV. The selected candidates can then go through a round of interviews, with the final interview being conducted by the high official managers. The managers then make the final recruitment decision of the candidate, following which a thorough referral check and background check of the candidate is done and finally inducted within the company. 

The major legislation that directly impacts the recruitment and hiring process of the organization is the Fair Work Legislation of Australia. This law governs the relationship between the employee and the employer in Australia. As per this law, the company or the organization needs to comply with the minimum recruitment standards for hiring employees with the minimum selected wage. All the rejections and the hirings of the employees would be mentioned, and the criteria should be completely transparent and shared with the candidates regularly. The recruitment procedure should align with the job descriptions. The company or organization is prohibited from discriminating any candidate based on their sex, gender, place of origin, living, ethnicity, and colour. This guides the Recruitment Process Of Apple in Australia. 

The key points that I need to be considered wait selection and recruitment of the staff within the organization are as follows 

skills and talents- the skills and talents of the employees from the most important part of the recruitment process. All the employees must meet the specific skill requirements to function efficiently in the given job role. 

Commitment and organizational compatibility- edificant most important point that needs to be considered while selecting and hiring staff for the organization 

Long-term potential- the long-term potential of the employee and shows that the employee is efficient enough to provide, so he’s the real organization for a very long time. 

The staff recruitment policy and procedures will directly impact me as a manager in many different ways. First of the impact would be me identifying the candidates who have long-term potential and would like to stay within the company longer. Second I need to have an open mindset to accept all the ideas and candidates so that I do not become partial towards any particular candidate with a particular skill.

Fair Work Legislation: Impact on Recruitment

The recruitment policy of the organization would greatly influence me as the applicant because I vote like to express my ability and compatibility with the organization even further as well as I will try to express my ability to convert my skills to productive outcomes. Moreover, my attitude would show my commitment and compassion towards my work which word help me present myself as well as differentiate myself from the others in the group. 

the degree of specialty and the requirement for specific knowledge, skills, and attitude is the important and initial part of any recruitment policy and need. The market is a dynamic field where specific it will fulfill requirements, and knowledge requirements keep on changing from time to time; hence this factor would impact greatly to my position as I constantly need to keep up with the changing environment in the market and backward skills and talents that helped me cope with the needs and requirement for the position. The development of new skills is an integral part of withholding a job position because over some time, the skills that I now have may become irrelevant to the job position, and some new skills and specific knowledge could take their place. It is very important to identify these specific skills, common knowledge and attitudes required for the position from time to time. 

The company uses three different technologies to improve their efficiency and effectiveness in this election process. 

Applicant tracking system (ATS)- every year, millions of people apply for their job roles in apple different job roles and job positions, which becomes humanly impossible for anyone to shortlist candidates based on their CV. Hence, the use of ATS helps the organization track this series of candidates who have applied and short list only those candidates who have the most suitability based on the criteria set in the applicant tracking system. 

Candidate relationship management system (CRM)- this software is used to contact all those candidates who have been shortlisted and to contact and give information to candidates who have been unsuccessful but have shown interest in the different job positions within the organization. 

Interviewing software- the interviewing software is used in the initial stages of the recruitment, where the candidates are interviewed using schematic software that shortlists candidates based on their responses to various thematic questions and brings more uniformity to the selection process. 

The organization’s senior managers review the different policies and procedures that are being followed and provide proper training and updates regarding the needs and requirements of the organization and the type of candidates that the organization wants to recruit. The senior managers also provide financial support and a complete personal performer of the type of candidates they are looking for, which helps the recruitment team find the most qualified candidates. 

Key Points to Consider for Staff Recruitment

All these staff are informed about the new recruitment selection of induction policies and procedures through both verbal and nonverbal methods of communication. All of these important tabs for this process are informed via official mail by the H.R. department. All the departmental heads are informed through a verbal mode of communication about the policies and procedures, which are distributed to irrelevant employees. 

Apple currently consists of more than 80,000 employees all across the globe and has a very skilled setup workforce that drives innovation throughout the organization. Hence, three existing workforces easily meet the current needs and requirements and organizational goals. However, as the technological environment is very dynamic and keeps on changing so at the needs of talents and other important factors for employment is also needed hence for the future a total insert internal survey of the skills and talents required for each department would be conducted and based on that the new recruitment policy and strategy would be formulated. 

Those involved in recruitment and this election process word required time to time training of the modern technological software that had been inducted in the recruitment and this election process along with proper training of the required skill identification and talent identification. As far as this support is concerned, all the people involved in this selection and training process would be briefed about the type of candidates that the organization is currently in need of and describe the process through which they want to proceed to refine those candidates. 

Apple recently posted a job as a creative assistant for the apple store visitors. Job advertisement mentions all these skills and talents that the organization is looking for and the organizational environment. The job role and advertisement are in clear alignment with the organizational policies that are currently looking for highly talented and innovative candidates for their organization. As good would be seen in the advertisement, the job posted clearly defines that this election would be based on the skills and talent requirements by the organization; hence it aligns with all the legal obligations of Australia. 

The organization utilizes a skill assessment test to identify specialists wherever necessary. When doing three to four interview processes, one of the interview processes asks the candidate to perform a particular task related to their job role. For example, the person is asked to create different logos and graphic designs for the company for the creative assistant.

Hence, the candidates are required to meet the certain quality standards that are completely aligned with the organizational policy and the legal obligations.
