Objectives

The main learning objectives of the course are to provide students with conceptual and operational knowledge so that they can design and implement recruitment and selection processes that are appropriate to the specific nature of the job and the organizational context. Specifically, the main learning objectives are: - adapting the criteria of the recruitment and selection process to the environment, - Framing recruitment and selection in people management, - know the methods and techniques used in recruitment and selection, - design and implement a recruitment and selection process, from identifying the need to evaluating the effectiveness of the process.
Teaching Methods

Theoretical-practical classes will predominantly use active methodologies, based on the analysis and discussion of real cases, simulations, group dynamics and watching videos. The expository method will also be used to present the concepts, but students will be encouraged to participate by asking questions and proposing viable solutions, thus fostering discussion and critical analysis. In classes throughout the semester, students will apply the knowledge they have acquired by designing a recruitment and selection process which aims to integrate theoretical concepts with their practical application.
