A. The Concept of HRM

In management, there are some subordinates such as production, financing, human

resource, and marketing. Different from other subordinates, Human Resource Management is
the kind of management related to human. Strategic HRM addresses broad organizational
concerns relating to changes in structure and culture, organizational effectiveness, and
performance, matching resources to future requirements, the development of distinctive
capabilities, and the management of change (Amstrong : 2000).

Based on the definition above, it can be concluded that human resource management is
management that related to human in organization, and human resource management has role
to solve the problem from an organization and improve the effectiveness of human in
organization whether by changing the structure and culture or improving the capabilities of
human in an organization.

There is another definition of human resource management. Kent (1997) said that human
resource management is also the management of various activities designed to enhance the
effectiveness of an organization’s workforce in achieving organizational goals in term of
recognizing human resource as crucial element in the strategic success of organizations. It
means that Human Resource Management are activities that have purpose to improve the
effectiveness of workforce to reach the goal of organization. human resource management
considers that Human is the crucial asset to get organizational success.

B. Job Opening

Frumkin (2005) defines job opening as (a) a specific position for which work is
available, (b) where work could start in three days, (c) the employer is actively recruiting
from outside the establishment such as transfers, promotions, or recall from lay off.
Therefore, Job opening is needed by an organization when they need workforce, for there is
specific position available. In Job Opening of APEC, APEC gives information of Job
opening in some medias such as radio and newspaper. APEC also gives information in mouth
by mouth.
C. Recruitment System

Recruitment is best described as the way in which an organization tries to source or to

attack the people from whom it will ultimately make selections (Elearn Limited ,Pergamon
Flexible Learning: 2005). It means that recruitment is done by an organization when they
need workforce to fill it’s job needs. To have effective management, an organization should
have appropriate workforce, it can be said that recruitment is important for an the
effectiveness of an organization. As Pandey (2006) said that Recruitment is a crucial part of
effective human resource management in all organizations for both the present and the future.
In addition, the requirement activity should also be concerned with filling the needs of job
candidates (Cawsey in Pandey:2006). It means that in recruiting the workforce, the
recruitment process must be based on the position needing to be filled so that it will be
effective recruitment.

Recruitment has several purposes (Sparrow and Hiltrop in Harris:2003).

• To determine present and future staffing needs in conjunction with job

analysis and human resource planning

• To increase the pool of applicants at minimum costs

• To increase the success rate of the (subsequent) of the selection process: fewer
will turn out to over or under-qualified

• To increase the probability of subsequent retention

• To encourage self-selections by means of realistic job preview

• To meet responsibilities, and legal ,and social obligations

• To increase organizational and individual effectiveness

• To evaluate the effectiveness of different labor pools

In APEC recruitment system, firstly APEC gives information about job opening.
Secondly, APEC selects the candidates based on the application file received. Thirdly, APEC
interviews the selected candidates. Fourthly, if the candidates pass the interview test, APEC
tests the candidates by teaching for three month. If the candidates pass the teaching test in
three month, they will be approved to be English tutor in APEC. The measurement of the
result of the three month test is from the students taught and the APEC owner.

D. The concept of Applicant

The concept of an applicant is that of a person who has indicated an interest in being
considered for hiring, promotion, and other employment opportunities. This interest might be
expressed by completing an application form, or might be expressed orally, depending on the
employer’s practice (Uniform Guidelines on employee Selection Procedures in David:2009).
It means that an applicants is the person interested for hiring, promotion, and employment
opportunities. In employment opportunities, the applicants will look for the necessary
information to support their application. To be able to apply well, the applicants should know
the complete application form, for the application form is the written data that will give
information of the applicants to the employer.

In the applicants of teacher in APEC, they should complete the requirements stated in
application form. The documents required in application form of APEC are copy of
undergraduate diploma legalized, copy of transcript legalized, CV, and photograph 4X6. The
minimum undergraduate index cumulative score required by APEC is 2.75, and the
applicants must not be from English department.

D. The Definition of Teaching

Hart (1868) defines teaching is let any one to know. Hart (1868) also adds that
teaching, then, most truly, and in every stage of it, is strictly of cooperative process. You
cannot cause any one to know, by merely pouring out stores of knowledge in his hearing, any
more than you can make his body grow by spreading the content of your market basket at his
feet. You must rose his power of attention, then he may lay hold of, and receive, and make
his own, and the knowledge you offer him. You must awaken and strengthen the power of
memory within him, that he may retain what he receives, and thus grown in knowledge as the
body by a like process growth in strength and muscle.

Based on the description above, it can be concluded that It means that the main
purpose of teaching is how to make the students know about the object taught. In addition, in
teaching, the teacher should know how to make the students get interest and able to memorize
the object well. The teacher should be able to strength and awaken the students memorize . It
means that the teacher should have good or proper method to improve the students ability.

In APEC, to be able to pass the 3 month test, the teacher candidates must be able to
teach the students well, and They must have proper methods in teaching the students. The
result of process whether the teacher candidats are approved to be teacher in APEC is based
on the students’ and owner’s sight.

E. Conclusion and Suggestion

The recruitments system of APEC their own method. APEC starts by giving
information in some media or even mouth by mouth. Then, APEC selects the candidates
based on the application form received. Then, APEC interviews the candidates selected. The
last, APEC tests the candidates by asking the candidate to teach the students for 3 months. If
the owner and students likes the method of the teacher candidate, the candidates will be
approved as teacher of APEC. The characteristics of recruitment in APEC is the test for three
months. After the candidate is trained for three month, they will be decided whether to be
teacher in APEC or not. Nonetheless, the background of the teacher in APEC must not be
English department so that it will make the candidate who come from their background will
have double effort to pass the training session, which is the test. Therefore, APEC should
selects the candidate from related program with English department.
