It is one of the most critical area within HRM. Recruiting employees who are able to fit with the organization and perform once they have been employed is risky, and there are no guarantees of future performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recruitment is also strongly connected to workforce planning and development and accurate job descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective recruitment depends on the extent to which the overall management philosophy supports and reinforces an approach to HRM that focuses on the utilization and development of new employees once they have joined the organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recruitment is also reflected in the psychological and behavioural characteristics expected of employees, which are expressed through competency frameworks, and allow organizations to identify and admit the people that possess organizationally defined critical qualities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compatibility between norms and values of the organization and the values of an employee influences outcomes such as organizational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover. There is an indication that person-environment fit includes a person-organization, person-job, person-group and person-supervisor fit. Many organizations seek to express their values by statements or visions and missions, which form part of the image, or brand that is projected by the company. Projected images will determine how attracted potential recruits feel to an organization. The image projected by an organization and the response from potential employees provide the basis for a compatible P-O fit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a match between the values within each of these areas expressed by the organization at the recruitment stage, the organization and the new recruits have a clear understanding of what is expected of new employees and can therefore manage these expectations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A further manifestation of the image projected by an organization to which recruits will be attracted is a description of the actual work that potential employees will be required to do. The traditional way of providing such information is in the form of a job description.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a job description, there is, in the form of a personnel or person specification, some attempt to profile the &#8216;ideal person to fill the job. It indicates the importance of different essential or desirable requirements such as: competencies, abilities, qualification, experience, motivation, adjustment, interests, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Job descriptions and personnel specifications have been key elements in the traditional repertoire of HR managers. Over the years, various attempts have been made to develop and fine-tune techniques and practices. One such development has been the shift of emphasis in job descriptions away from specifying tasks and responsibilities towards the results or outcomes to be achieved. Some organizations have replaced or complemented job descriptions with performance contracts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test of success of a recruitment process is whether it attracts a sufficient number of applicants of the desired quality within the budget set. Traditionally, applications are made by a combination of a covering letter, a completed application form and\/or a CV. Increasingly, such forms can be submitted by email or completed online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-521\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-522 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image5.jpg\" style=\"object-position:48% 49%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"48% 49%\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-contrast-background-color has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning for Recruitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">A guide to recruitments basics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/RecruitmentInfographic.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download Infographic<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Additional Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fb90a72e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-75bfdb63673e358a9ddcb67f9f13e3c4\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/1099-050X(200024)39:4%3C347::AID-HRM6%3E3.0.CO;2-C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deepdyve.com\/lp\/emerald-publishing\/with-recruitment-i-always-feel-i-need-to-listen-to-my-gut-the-role-of-qENJxuQatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">With recruitment I always feel I need to listen to my gut: the role of intuition in employee selection<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05077866140a93151b30728e37815710\" style=\"color:#444444\">Miles A. and Sadler-Smith, E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fb90a72e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b44e18183122b5bea8fe41e3dbdf2895\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.hrmr.2018.08.001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1002\/ert.21479\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Conducting thorough job analyses and drafting lawful job descriptions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cf31c9a5f703ffe34fa4c88cbdf7fd0f\" style=\"color:#444444\">Smith, K.

recruitment strategy, recruitment activities, intervening variables and recruitment results. The trend of using online recruitment is common for SMEs. E-recruitment has many advantages, but also some disadvantages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3c46939c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does recruitment work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recruitment process can be divided into five stages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stage includes the determination of the&nbsp;<strong>recruitment objectives<\/strong>, and consequently prepares a basis for the development of the&nbsp;<strong>recruitment strategy<\/strong>. In addition, pre-hire, post-hire, and post-hiring outcomes are classified. More detailed recruitment objectives are necessary to secure a certain standard for the next stages of the recruitment process.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the identification of the main recruitment objectives, the development strategy can be derived. Therefore, the following questions should be answered: &#8211; Who should be recruited? &#8211; Where to recruit? &#8211; When to recruit? &#8211; What recruitment sources should be used? &#8211; What message should be communicated? &#8211; Who should carry out the recruitment process? In addition to the stated questions, budget limitations should be taken into consideration at this stage as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the recruitment strategy is developed, a company can launch specific&nbsp;<strong>recruitment activities<\/strong>. They may include recruiters, recruitment sources, and message to be communicated&nbsp;<strong>(intervening variables<\/strong>). The right combination of recruitment activities leads to the desired pre-hire and post-hire outcomes, and thus to successful&nbsp;<strong>recruitment results<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent reports have noted that small business now recruit more graduates (70%) than larger companies (64%), and small business have the biggest rise in graduate recruitment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trend of using online recruitment is common for SMEs as well as for big corporations, and helps to create a large pool of qualified applicants quite fast. A recent research conducted by LinkedIn for SMEs on how candidates want to be recruited, shows that 65% of candidates used social professional networks or online job boards to find an open position. Nowadays, it is quite hard to find any organization without a web site or a professional profile on the LinkedIn platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has also been shown that the usability of a company website affects an applicant&#8217;s perception of a job, with a focus on hyperlinks and test rather than graphic images and navigation links. The number of companies using mobile phone technology has increased by 70% since 2011, and there has been a 90% increase in the number of applicants who have learnt of job opportunities via mobile phone technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of advantages to the internet recruitment. One of the most important ones is that it is cost-effective, it is easy and quick to post an advertisement or remove it, a great number of responses arrive very fast and a wider pool of applicants is presented. Especially at a time when there are more applicants than vacancies, the online recruitment can also save time of a HR manager, rejecting the unsuitable candidates automatically with the use of tools for filtering applicants and tools for starting the selection process. Many job applicants are also using the Internet and social media to find a suitable position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are, however, issues with e-recruitment, including the one-way communication system, the fact that it is impersonal and passive, and the fact that it creates an artificial distance between the individual and the organization.&nbsp;Content Here<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-523\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-427cb6396b337ea331ef49d392d69968\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-524 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image7.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-custom-light-black-background-color has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Steps for Recruitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\">The recruitment process can be divided into five stages&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5SteptRecruitmentInfographic.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download Infographic<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Additional Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fb90a72e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-63de6ffd1e682871e1591fa2fc995718\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/1099-050X(200024)39:4%3C347::AID-HRM6%3E3.0.CO;2-C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theallianceframework.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2014-32271-009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Predicting voluntary turnover from job applicant biodata and other applicant information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94115b45fb46e0d09e68ee35be833e7d\" style=\"color:#444444\">Breaugh, J.

the first video, Preptel shows how a typical Applicant Tracking System works and how resumes are seen by the hiring company. Most job seekers believe a fancy resume is still reviewed by hiring companies; however, as you will see from this demonstration technology is redefining how hiring companies view and evaluate applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second video is the recruitment video by Apple. It will give you an inside look at the people developing new ideas at Apple. Some great pointers to take from this video and apply to your own are as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show people actually at work on well-known product<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have employees talk about specific things they have worked on and how those projects have made a difference<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a recognizable logo&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Facebook recruitment video follows Apple\u2019s. You\u2019ll see how Facebook recruitment heavily depend upon the ability to change and fit into a new environment&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fourth video you\u2019ll gain insights on how recruiters use Google to do quick and free searches to find candidates for hire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth animated short video highlights some of the problems with traditional online recruitment sites from the viewpoint of both employers and job seekers. The video was created by BasharJobs.com.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last video is a tutorial that describes the Recruiter Dashboard in SAP E-Recruiting. It walks you through how the recruiter (end user) can tailor the look of the dashboard to meet their needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

But, most hiring teams build their hiring process around these four stages:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning. Hiring managers usually need to get the job opening approved before posting the job ad. They should also discuss the recruiting budget for their position, prepare the job description and assemble their hiring team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attracting candidates. This stage involves any action hiring teams take to fill their hiring pipeline with qualified candidates (e.g. candidate sourcing, job advertising and asking for referrals.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selecting candidates. The most important part of a candidate screening phase is the interview. Screening calls, job application reviews and pre-employment tests help ensure that hiring teams interview the best candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering the job. If all goes well, this process involves drafting and sending a job offer email to your desired candidate, who accepts it. Sometimes though, candidates may choose to negotiate their offers or reject them outright.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/tutorial\/faq-hiring-process\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">workable.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How should we manage hiring process workflow?<\/summary>\n<p>Using emails and spreadsheets to manage all aspects of the hiring process is not efficient. If you hire in low volumes, then project management tools are a good option. For example, tools like Trello help you see the hiring workflow as a series of steps and assign tasks to your hiring team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hire often and manage multiple hiring teams, consider investing in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS.) An ATS gives you a full view of every step of the process and each team member\u2019s actions and feedback. An effective ATS helps hiring teams focus more on hiring and less on administrative tasks. The best applicant tracking system features also help teams customize their hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/tutorial\/faq-hiring-process\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">workable.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What is a hiring process flow chart?<\/summary>\n<p>A hiring process flowchart is a visualization of recruiting steps and how they connect. A flowchart is a good way to communicate your recruitment policy in a concrete and memorable way to both hiring teams and candidates. A flow chart looks like a Decision Tree diagram. For example, you could use a flowchart to present recruiting steps to hiring managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring flowcharts can get more complex if you add more actions, decisions and phases, as well as different stakeholders (e.g. recruiters, candidates) and recruiting tactics (e.g. internal hiring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more and take a look at example flowchart at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/tutorial\/faq-hiring-process\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">workable.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Should I customize the hiring process for specific roles?<\/summary>\n<p>Different roles require different hiring stages. Candidates for senior positions face multiple interviews and tests before getting hired, while entry-level candidates usually face much simpler hiring processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, customizing shouldn\u2019t be overly flexible, since:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most hiring processes share some elements. Asking hiring managers to create their own processes from scratch may be counterproductive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recruiters who are involved in multiple hiring pipelines may have trouble keeping track of all the different steps, if there\u2019s no consistency between roles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recruiters can find it challenging to consolidate metrics from lots of different hiring processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to find the balance. Give hiring teams a set of general steps and workflows to choose from for specific roles or types of roles (senior, junior, developers etc.) A recruitment policy or hiring flowcharts&nbsp;can be useful. If you\u2019re using an ATS, you will already have a basic pipeline in place that your hiring teams can modify when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/tutorial\/faq-hiring-process\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">workable.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details alignwide has-custom-off-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What is the best way to reject a job candidate after an interview?<\/summary>\n<p>Candidates who interviewed with your hiring team and met you in person expect a personalized and considerate rejection message. Since people may feel uncomfortable being rejected over the phone, email is a good choice. Use a template to save time but make sure you craft a highly-personalized email. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be brief and direct. Write one sentence at the beginning of your email to let candidates know you won\u2019t be hiring them. Make sure your email won\u2019t be misunderstood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopt a positive tone. Don\u2019t use negative phrases like \u201cyou were so close\u201d or \u201cyou\u2019re not a good fit.\u201d If possible, add a sentence or two about what you liked about the candidate in general.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer to give feedback. Most candidates want to know how they did during an interview, so offer to give them more specific feedback. There are a few simple rules for offering constructive feedback that won\u2019t jeopardize your employer brand or invite legal trouble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/tutorial\/faq-hiring-process\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">workable.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#f3f3f3;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2b43bde3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<p class=\"page-nav-5 has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0de42d81bdabaf5afa957431faeaf880\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\">&lt; Previous Section: Useful Links<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"page-nav-1 has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c945c9a5d6d09b2d4448495726145fb\" style=\"color:#8f13b0\">Back to Toolkit &gt;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Toolkit Contents<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[20,24,29],"class_list":["post-519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sme","tag-human-resources","tag-organisation-person-fit","tag-recruitment"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":943,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions\/943"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ascnet.ie\/3wayswitch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
