01. RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
Recruitment
Recruitment as “the process of searching for
prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for the
jobs in the organization.” - Edwin B Flippo.
Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of
manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and
to employee effective measures to attracting that manpower in
adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an
effective workforce. - Yoder.
Recruitment and selection activity is predominantly dealt with in
two fields:
- A generally prescriptive human resource management or personnel management viewpoint and,
- A very technical psychology literature that focuses on the validity (absolute and relative) of different forms of recruitment techniques, such as competency modelling, interviews and various types of psychometric testing.
Selection
Selection is the process of picking individuals who have relevant
qualifications to fill jobs in an organization. Selection is much
more than just choosing the best candidate. It is an attempt to
strike a happy balance between what the applicant can and wants
to do and what the organization requires.
Selection is important, the reason being, hiring
of good resources can help in increasing the overall performance of the
organization.
The difference between recruitment and selection.
Both the processes of recruitment and selection
are considered important for the effective functioning of the organizations and
they take place simultaneously. They are imperative for growth and development
of the organization.
Few factors affecting recruitment & selection.

ReplyDeleteWith covid 19 outbreak is it a huge issue recruiting talented for a company. In my view I think it is not that much hard in IT sector since most of IT officers are following working-at-home procedure. Recruitment refers to a process of simulating applicants for a vacant job position and finding qualified applicants for the job and Selection refers to the process of shortlisting the applicants and selecting the best applicants who are suitable for that job position.
