Recruitment and Selection Administration
When a business hires the wrong person, or loses the right one because the process was slow or messy, it pays for it for years. Recruitment administrators keep the hiring process moving: they place adverts, track applications, screen CVs, book interviews, run reference checks and prepare offer letters. It is detailed, people-facing work, and it must be fair and lawful at every step. This course teaches you to write a clear job advert from a job description, manage and screen applications consistently, schedule interviews and prepare the panel, carry out reference and qualification checks with consent, write offer and regret letters, and keep recruitment records in line with the Employment Equity Act and POPIA. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
