IMPROVEMENT OF PERSONNEL SELECTION AND EVALUATION PROCESSES AT IRKUTSK POLYMER PLANT

Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the processes of personnel selection and assessment at the Irkutsk Polymer Plant (IZP), which is the largest investment project in Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East. Personnel selection and assessment are key factors determining the efficiency of organizations, especially in a rapidly changing market. The article examines in detail recruitment as a specialized HR function, which includes searching for and selecting candidates for vacant positions. Personnel assessment is presented as a set of tools and methods that allow identifying employee characteristics for making management decisions, which is necessary for the successful functioning of the company. An analysis of the current state of processes at IZP shows that traditional selection methods are used, such as posting vacancies on specialized portals and interviewing candidates. However, the average time to find and hire a new employee is about 45 days, which significantly exceeds the industry standard of 30 days, and the staff turnover rate reaches 12% per year. These indicators indicate the need to optimize current processes. The article also includes a description of methods for assessing the effectiveness of personnel selection, such as resume screening and interviews, and provides recommendations for improving HR practices. The proposed measures are aimed at improving the qualifications of personnel and reducing the time spent on selection, which will contribute to the successful launch and operation of the IZP at its design capacity.
