agencies, and internal referrals. It involves attracting a pool of talented candidates for
open positions.

or tests to evaluate the skills, experience, and cultural fit of candidates. The goal is to
select the right person for the job.
2. Training and Development

processes to ensure a smooth transition and integration.

training.

employee roles, and organizational budget.

development programs.

HR processes such as employee data management, payroll, performance tracking, and
recruitment.

turnover rates, employee satisfaction, and productivity, to make more informed
decisions.

discrimination, wage and hour laws, family leave, health and safety regulations, etc.
