Recruitment Process
Şölen aims to identify and recruit the right candidates who can adapt to the dynamism, innovation, and motivation of Şölen and share its excitement. During the recruitment process, all candidates are evaluated according to their functional competencies as well as core competencies such as “Innovation and Creativity”, “Success and Results Orientation”, and “Analytical Thinking”. In addition to competencies, professional and technical knowledge is also measured. Compliance with corporate culture and values are the most important criteria considered throughout the entire process.
Candidates invited for interviews undergo an English Proficiency Test, Personality Inventory, General Aptitude Tests, and a Competency-Based Interview for the relevant positions. Candidates whose interview process is evaluated positively by the Human Resources Department are called for a “Technical-Based Interview” conducted by the relevant manager and/or director.
Performance and Career Management
Employee performance is evaluated within the scope of the Target- and Competency-Based Performance Management System.
The Performance Management Process consists of three main stages:
• Planning and Goal-Setting
• Midterm Review (Feedback)
• End of Year Review
The outputs of the performance process provide inputs to other critical human resources processes such as training and development, remuneration management, and career management.
