REKRUTMEN DAN SELEKSI SDM PENDIDIKAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the processes, methods, and techniques of recruitment and selection of human resources (HR) in the field of education as strategic factors determining the quality of teaching and non-teaching personnel. The research employs a library research method by reviewing various academic literatures, scholarly journals, and recent studies related to recruitment strategies, selection techniques, and staff placement in educational institutions. The findings indicate that recruitment in education is not merely an administrative procedure to fill vacancies but a strategic effort to ensure the alignment between educators’ competencies and the institution’s vision and mission. An effective recruitment process includes needs analysis, criteria formulation, open job announcements, and multi-step selection processes such as administrative verification, competency testing, micro-teaching, structured interviews, and reference checks. Moreover, the application of modern recruitment methods such as e-recruitment and competency-based placement has proven to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of teacher selection. Proper placement, along with onboarding and mentoring programs, plays a vital role in supporting the adaptation and performance of new teachers. Therefore, the integration of professional, transparent, and competency-based recruitment, selection, and placement processes is key to developing high-quality, character-driven, and competitive educational human resources in the global era.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses, metode, dan teknik rekrutmen serta seleksi sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam bidang pendidikan sebagai faktor strategis penentu kualitas tenaga pendidik dan kependidikan. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka (library research) dengan mengkaji berbagai literatur akademik, jurnal ilmiah, dan hasil penelitian terkini terkait strategi rekrutmen, teknik seleksi, dan penempatan tenaga pendidik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa rekrutmen dalam lembaga pendidikan tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai proses administratif untuk mengisi kekosongan jabatan, tetapi merupakan upaya strategis untuk menjamin kesesuaian kompetensi tenaga pendidik dengan visi dan misi institusi. Proses rekrutmen yang efektif mencakup analisis kebutuhan tenaga kerja, penyusunan kriteria, publikasi lowongan secara terbuka, hingga seleksi berlapis melalui verifikasi administrasi, tes kompetensi, micro-teaching, wawancara terstruktur, dan verifikasi referensi. Selain itu, penerapan metode rekrutmen modern seperti e-recruitment serta penempatan berbasis kompetensi terbukti mampu meningkatkan efisiensi dan akurasi pemilihan tenaga pendidik. Penempatan yang tepat serta program onboarding dan mentoring juga berperan penting dalam mendukung adaptasi dan kinerja guru baru. Dengan demikian, integrasi antara rekrutmen, seleksi, dan penempatan yang profesional, transparan, serta berbasis kompetensi menjadi kunci dalam menciptakan SDM pendidikan yang berkualitas, berkarakter, dan berdaya saing di era global.
