ABSTRACT
An important element in successful recruiting is an awareness of the factors resulting in a need to recruit. Establishment of a new installation is a very exact reason for recruiting, and numbers of staff necessary and the appropriate levels of experience are likely to have been discussed in detail before active recruiting begins. Additional problems arise when staffs are to be recruited as a result of an extension to the installation, whether this is: new types of hardware, the adoption of a new operating system or other major piece of software or firmware. Increase in work-load is usually a precise one, and it is probable that the recruiting procedure will be the result of planning rather than a suddenly realised need. Replacement can combine the happiest of recruiting conditions and the most difficult. To get a good man is one of the most dangerous reasons for recruiting, although the arguments for it tend to be advanced with most convincing certainty.
