Unit 2: HR Planning, Recruitment, and Selection

David Cherrington, DBA, SPHR Laura Middleton, SPHR, SPHRi

Great organizations start with hiring the right people, and this resource helps students and HR practitioners build that expertise while preparing for the PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, and SHRM-SCP exams. Students begin with employment discrimination and the legal framework that shapes every hiring decision, then learn human resource planning, job analysis, job descriptions, and job specifications. They move on to recruitment and selection, building the practical judgment HR professionals need to attract and choose the right talent. Unit practice assessments and timed assessments let students check their readiness along the way.
