Rekrutmen adalah salah satu pekerjaan HR yang paling kompleks sekaligus paling krusial. Kesalahan memilih orang di tahap ini berdampak panjang — mulai dari biaya onboarding yang terbuang, produktivitas tim yang terganggu, sampai harus mengulang proses dari awal.
Panduan ini membahas setiap tahapan rekrutmen secara berurutan, lengkap dengan hal yang perlu diperhatikan di tiap tahap.
Tahapan Proses Rekrutmen Lengkap
Tahap 1: Identifikasi Kebutuhan
Sebelum membuka lowongan, pastikan kamu sudah menjawab pertanyaan berikut bersama hiring manager:
- Apakah posisi ini benar-benar perlu diisi, atau bisa dikerjakan tim yang ada?
- Posisi baru atau penggantian? Jika penggantian, apa yang membuat karyawan sebelumnya pergi?
- Kapan posisi ini harus terisi? (Deadline yang realistis)
- Berapa anggaran untuk gaji dan benefit?
Dokumentasikan ini dalam Manpower Request (MPR) — form internal yang jadi dasar proses rekrutmen.
Tahap 2: Tulis Job Description
JD yang baik menghemat waktu screening secara drastis. Sertakan tanggung jawab, kualifikasi wajib, benefit, dan rentang gaji. (Baca panduan lengkapnya di artikel: Cara Membuat Job Description yang Efektif)
Tahap 3: Tentukan Channel Rekrutmen
| Channel |
Cocok Untuk |
Biaya |
| JobStreet / Kalibrr / Glints | Posisi mid-level umum | Berbayar |
| LinkedIn | Posisi senior / spesialis | Gratis + berbayar |
| Referral karyawan | Semua posisi | Gratis / bonus referral |
| Website karier perusahaan | Kandidat yang sudah kenal brand | Gratis |
| Headhunter / EO | Posisi C-level / sangat spesifik | 15–30% gaji tahunan |
Tahap 4: Screening CV
Ini tahap yang paling menyita waktu. Tips efisien:
- Buat kriteria sebelum buka CV — tentukan 3–5 must-have yang jadi filter pertama
- Batch screening — jadwalkan 1–2 jam khusus per hari untuk review CV, jangan sambil multitasking
- Gunakan sistem scoring — beri nilai 1–3 untuk setiap kriteria, jumlahkan
- Shortlist 10–15 kandidat dari seluruh pelamar untuk tahap berikutnya
Tahap 5: Screening Awal (Phone Screen / HR Interview)
30 menit per kandidat untuk validasi dasar:
- Konfirmasi ekspektasi gaji — apakah sesuai budget?
- Konfirmasi availability — kapan bisa mulai?
- Cek motivasi — kenapa tertarik dengan posisi/perusahaan ini?
- Klarifikasi hal-hal yang tidak jelas dari CV
Tahap 6: Interview Teknis / Hiring Manager Interview
Tahap ini melibatkan hiring manager atau tim terkait. HR bertugas:
- Koordinasikan jadwal (hindari reschedule berulang!)
- Siapkan daftar pertanyaan terstruktur (sama untuk semua kandidat)
- Dokumentasikan hasil evaluasi setiap interviewer
Tahap 7: Assessment (jika diperlukan)
Psikotes, tes teknis, atau case study. Pilih assessment yang benar-benar relevan dengan pekerjaan — jangan asal pakai karena "sudah tradisi".
Tahap 8: Reference Check
Hubungi 1–2 referensi kandidat (mantan atasan langsung, bukan teman). Tanyakan:
- Apa kekuatan utama kandidat ini?
- Apa area yang masih perlu dikembangkan?
- Apakah Anda akan mempekerjakan mereka kembali jika ada kesempatan?
Tahap 9: Offering
Setelah kandidat dipilih, kirim Surat Penawaran Kerja (Offering Letter) yang memuat:
- Judul posisi dan departemen
- Tanggal mulai kerja
- Kompensasi (gaji pokok, tunjangan, bonus)
- Periode percobaan (probation)
- Deadline untuk konfirmasi (biasanya 3–5 hari kerja)
Tahap 10: Onboarding
Rekrutmen tidak selesai saat kandidat tanda tangan. Onboarding yang baik menentukan apakah karyawan baru akan bertahan atau keluar dalam 3 bulan pertama.
Timeline Rekrutmen yang Realistis
Minggu 1–2 : Buka lowongan, tunggu lamaran masuk
Minggu 2–3 : Screening CV
Minggu 3 : Phone screening
Minggu 4 : Interview tahap 1 (HR)
Minggu 5 : Interview tahap 2 (Hiring Manager)
Minggu 5–6 : Reference check + keputusan
Minggu 6 : Kirim offering letter
Minggu 7–8 : Kandidat notice period di perusahaan lama
Minggu 8–10 : Karyawan mulai bergabung
Total: 6–10 minggu untuk posisi mid-level. Posisi senior bisa 3–6 bulan.

Recruitment is one of the most complex and crucial HR jobs. Mistakes in selecting people at this stage have a long impact — ranging from wasted onboarding costs, disrupted team productivity, to having to repeat the process from the beginning.
This guide discusses each stage of recruitment in order, complete with things to note at each stage.
Complete Recruitment Process Stages
Step 1: Identify Needs
Before opening a vacancy, make sure you have answered the following questions with the hiring manager:
- Does this position really need to be filled, or can the team work on it?
- New position or replacement? If reimbursement, what made the previous employee leave?
- When should this position be filled? (Realistic deadline)
- What is the budget for salaries and benefits?
Document this in the Manpower Request (MPR) — the internal form that forms the basis of the recruitment process.
Stage 2: Write Job Description
A good JD drastically saves screening time. Include responsibilities, mandatory qualifications, benefits, and salary ranges. (Read the full guide in the article: How to Create an Effective Job Description)
Stage 3: Determine Recruitment Channel
| Channel |
Suitable for: |
Fee |
| JobStreet / Kalibrr / Glints | General mid-level position | Paid |
| LinkedIn | Senior / specialist position | Free Vs Paid |
| Employee referrals | All positions | Free /referral bonus |
| Company career website | Candidates who already know the brand | Free |
| Headhunter / EO | C-level / very specific position | 15-30% annual salary |
Stage 4: CV Screening
This is the most time-consuming stage. Efficient tips:
- Create criteria before opening CV — specify 3-5 must-haves that are the first filters
- Batch screening — schedule 1-2 special hours per day for CV review, not while multitasking
- Use a scoring system — give a score of 1-3 for each criterion, sum
- Shortlist 10-15 candidates from all applicants for the next stage
Stage 5: Initial Screening (Phone Screen / HR Interview)
30 minutes per candidate for basic validation:
- Confirmation of salary expectations — is it within budget?
- Confirm availability — when can I start?
- Motivation check — why are you interested in this position/company?
- Clarify things that are not clear from the CV
Stage 6: Technical Interview/ Hiring Manager Interview
This stage involves hiring managers or related teams. HR is in charge of:
- Coordinate schedules (avoid repetitive reschedules!)
- Prepare a structured list of questions (same for all candidates)
- Document the evaluation results of each interviewer
Stage 7: Assessment (if required)
Psychotics, technical tests, or case studies. Choose an assessment that istruly relevant to the job — don't just use it because it is "traditional".
Stage 8: Reference Check
Call 1-2 candidate referrals (former direct supervisors, not friends). Ask:
- What are the main strengths of this candidate?
- What areas still need to be developed?
- Would you hire them back if you had the chance?
Stage 9: Offering
After the candidate is selected, send an Offering Letter containing:
- Position and department title
- Work start date
- Compensation (base salary, benefits, bonuses)
- Probation period
- Deadline for confirmation (usually 3-5 business days)
Stage 10: Onboarding
Recruitment is not completed when the candidate signs. Good onboarding determines whether a new employee will stay or leave within the first 3 months.
Realistic Recruitment Timeline
Minggu 1–2 : Buka lowongan, tunggu lamaran masuk
Minggu 2–3 : Screening CV
Minggu 3 : Phone screening
Minggu 4 : Interview tahap 1 (HR)
Minggu 5 : Interview tahap 2 (Hiring Manager)
Minggu 5–6 : Reference check + keputusan
Minggu 6 : Kirim offering letter
Minggu 7–8 : Kandidat notice period di perusahaan lama
Minggu 8–10 : Karyawan mulai bergabung
Total: 6-10 weeks for mid-level positions. Senior position can be 3-6 months.
