How could Recruitment take advantage of HR Shared Services Centre?

For what it's worth, my thoughts are that there would be two levels of Recruitment service where a Shared Centre could provide support that would benefit the business and other colleagues in HR:

- The first would be in terms of administration; acting as a Transaction Processing Centre i.e. placing advertisements internally and externally, scheduling of interviews or booking assessment centres, creating and issuing contracts of employment, issuing new starter packs, entering new hires into the HR system and managing any pre-employment screening processes. At this level the service centre could also act as a first level HelpDesk for Managers and HR Partners

- The second would be in terms of a Centre of Expertise; this may depend on the sophistication of your recruitment processes. The service provision could include counsel on hiring policies, interview and assessment centre techniques, conducting interviews, designing and running assessment centres (including provision of certified test administrators), guidance and support with sourcing strategies including 'employment branding', project management of mass recruitment campaigns etc. At this level the CoE would act as a second level 'HelpDesk' Service Line for Managers and HR Partners to contact for advice.
