This Guidebook provides information and processes associated with the full recruiting cycle, from the time an employee gives notice to onboarding a new hire. The recruitment process can be time-consuming and laborious but hiring the right employee is well worth the effort and time spent. Hiring a less qualified candidate may lead to performance problems, a decline in department morale, and the potential need to reopen the search process costing time and money to recruit, select and train another new employee.
