The Labourers Are Few

Those appointed as leaders of new branches, divisions, off-site/external departments should be such as can become bona fide members of the higher level management usually answerable to the board. They should be trusted, tried and tested people with expertise and experience. They should also be the kind of person that can rise above internal rivalries and conflicts and able to accept responsibility and manage public relations. They should be good representatives of the company and understand and be able to translate the mission of the enterprise.

Recruiters should try to attract the right kind of person for the job. Externally, there is the available labour in the market, there may be suitable candidates but sometimes there isn't, and there are the company's internal resources and promotion up or transfer across structures. The job analysis will give a picture of the ideal person and the selection process should discover who the most suitable person is. They should also be able to command the acceptance and respect of all concerned.
