• For example on a farm there might be need for temporary/seasonal workers during harvest and planting periods
• A job description is then prepared
• Job advertisements are then prepared and disseminated
• The recruitment and selection processes are carried out
• Successful candidates sign contracts
• They are placed and inducted into the organisation
• Workers might also be trained/retrained to make sure the organisation’s human resources needs are met
• Policies are crafted to make sure the organisation retains it’s staff
