Recruiting, Hiring, and Onboarding Employees

The University of Minnesota follows staffing from workforce needs into recruitment, selection and onboarding. The sequence makes clear that hiring is a connected process rather than an interview alone. It suits learners who want to understand how a role, candidate assessment and early employee experience support the same business need.

What you will learn

• Align workforce planning with organizational strategy.
• Compare recruitment and selection approaches.
• Plan a coherent employee-onboarding process.

Who this suits

Learners developing practical HR and people-management skills; preview the course examples and assignments to assess preparation needs.

Before you enroll

Course examples need to be adapted to the organization, location and current employment rules. Use fictional or anonymized employee data for practice, and review the suitability of any AI tool before sharing workplace information or using its output in a people-related decision.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Design a fictional hiring process with role criteria, a consistent assessment method and an onboarding plan that prepares the successful applicant for the work.
