The staff recruitment is conducted when someone has attained qualification to become a teacher from a university. When application is submitted to the HR and there is vacancy then recruitment is done. The practice of recruitment is done according to the policies required to provide employment. When recruitment is done it meets the ILO principles as the teacher is selected from the requirements and qualification submitted. It is also done according to the rules where the teacher selected is also provided with rules and guidance for the employment.
When a teacher is selected to work in the ministry of education they are also explained about the requirements. When a teacher is transferred to a school they are provided with the resources and safe working environment. The teachers are also provided with professional development sessions so that they can effectively develop skills required. During the employment different policies can be referred by the teacher which is a guide provided by ministry of education. The HR rating for the organization can be given six which is excellent as guidance is provided during recruitment and also during employment.
The school in which teachers are transferred head of school guides the teachers based on the requirements from ministry of education. When teachers start the work, they are also monitored and provided feedback by the head of school so that they can develop the effective skills. The teachers are also motivated to perform effectively so that they can guide the students to become successful in their lives.
My organization have been following the principles given.
I would rate our organization by 6
There is a transparency at the work place ti create a proper and safe environment.
However, disparities may arise in the recruitment process there is always room for improvement and development in teaching and learning for betterment of the nation.
According to our setting, I think the ILO principle is being applied as equal opportunity of vacancies are given.
However am going to rate it as 4 out of 6, because final selection is not based on qualifications and experience but money and who you know.
In Fiji, the proper labor recruitment follows up the policy state by the ILO. I would rate as 5 because thereâs still some improvement need whereby there is always a room for improvement.

Overall, however, I believe that our HR practice is strong and aligns well with the ILO principles.

The recruitment exercise at my institution follows the international Labour Laws to some extend such as posting the advertisement in various media and giving the applicants fourteen days to submit their applications. everybody is allowed to apply as long as they meet the minimum requirement. This is being transparent in the process of application., shortlisting and interviews. After the interview, all those who were invited for the interview whether successful or not successful, all of them are communicated to.
This shows respect for human rights.
I can rate my institution at 5
Reason: This is because most of the ILO principles are adhered to.
