Bus/Financial - Human Resources
German term or phrase: Personalentscheidung
CONTEXT:
Überprüfung der ***Personalentscheidung***: Bei Neueinstellungen erfolgt in Abhängigkeit vom individuellen Arbeitsvertrag eine Probezeitbeurteilung anhand des entsprechenden Formulars (Anlage 7). Diese wird rechtzeitig – 6 Wochen - vor Ablauf der Probezeit eingeleitet.

Bei der Berücksichtigung eines internen Kandidaten durch Versetzung soll analog zur Probezeitbeurteilung eine Beurteilung nach einer Einarbeitungszeit durch die neue Fachabteilung vorgenommen werden. Diese dient vornehmlich als Hilfestellung zur weiteren persönlichen Entwicklung des Mitarbeiters.

Recruitment/appointment decision
Explanation:
It seems to me that what is meant here is a review of the decision to recruit or appoint (in the case of internal candidates) the individual based on his/her performance in the trial period. Personnel decision, in this case, would be a bit too general...

  -> Thanks - yes, while 'recruitment' can also be used for internal candidates, it is not as common as 'appointment'.
agree  Armorel Young: or even just "the appointment" since the "appointment decision" amounts to an appointment being made.

agree  Tom Tyson: I was going to suggest simply 'appointment' for the same reason - if it's been decided then they've been apopointed!

hiring decision


Explanation:
I would use the term "hiring" in this context because they are talking about "Neueinstellungen".
