EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Human Resources are the most important asset of the organization. The success
or failure of an organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people
working therein. Without positive and creative contribution from people,
organization cannot progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goals or the
activities of an organization, therefore, they need to recruit people with requisite
skills, qualifications and experience. While doing so, they have to keep the present
as well as the future requirements of the organization in mind.

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is the process concerned with the identification of sources from where
the personnel can be employed & motivating them to offer themselves for
employment.
Recruitment is the process of finding & attracting capable applicants for
employment. Recruitment has been regarded as the most important function of the
HR department, because unless the right type of peoples are hired, even the best
plans, organization chart and control system would not do much good. Recruitment
is the discovering of potential applicant for actual or anticipated organizational
vacancies. Accordingly, the purpose of recruitment is to locate sources of manpower
to meet the job requirement and job specification. It is defined as a process to
discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of staffing schedule and
to apply effective measures for attracting the manpower to adequate number to
facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce.

Yoder points out that 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. It is the process of finding and attracting
capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are
sought and ends when their application are submitted. The result is a pool of
applicants from which new employees are selected.

5. Economy in Training Costs: The existing employees are fully aware of the
operating procedures and policies of the organization. The existing employees

This method of recruitment can prove to be economical because new employees are
already trained and experienced and do not require much training for the jobs.
1.Demoralization:
When new persons from outside join the organization then present employees feel
demoralised because these positions should have gone to them. There can be a heart
burning among old employees. Some employees may even leave the enterprise and

The old staff may not co-operate with the new employees because they feel that their

The process of recruiting from outside is very expensive. It starts with inserting costly

There may be a possibility that the new entrants have not been able to adjust in the

such cases either the persons may leave themselves or management may have to replace them.

SELECTION
The Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable candidate for the vacant position in
the organization. In other words, selection means weeding out unsuitable applicants and
selecting those individuals with prerequisite qualifications and capabilities to fill the jobs in the
organization.
Selection Requirements
The requirements for a selection system are knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics,
determine the most qualified candidates, which can include both new candidates and individuals
Common selection tools include ability tests (cognitive, physical, or psychomotor), knowledge
tests, personality tests, structured interviews, the systematic collection of biographical data, and
work samples. Development and implementation of such screening methods is sometimes done by
human resources departments. Some organizations may hire consultants or firms that specialize in
18
Metrics
Two major factors determining the quality of a newly hired employee are predictor
validity and selection ratio. The predictor cutoff is a limit distinguishing between
passing and failing scores on a selection test— people with scores above it are hired
or further considered while those with scores below it is not. This cutoff can be a
very useful hiring tool, but it is only valuable if it is actually predictive of the type
The selection ratio (SR) is the number of job openings (n) divided by the number
of job applicants (N). When the SR is equal to 1, the use of any selection device has
little meaning, but this is not often the case as there are usually more applicants
than job openings. As N increases, the quality of hires is likely to also increase: if
you have 500 applicants for 3 job openings, you will likely find people with higher-
quality work among those 500 than if you had only 5 applicants for the same 3 job
openings.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Recruitment and selection are the two phases of the employment process but there is a difference
between them. The first is the process of searching the candidates to fill identifies vacant and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization while the later involves the series of steps
by which the candidates are screened in order to choose the most suitable persons for vacant
positions. The basic aim of recruitments is to create collection of talent candidates to enhance
selection of best candidates for the organization, by attracting more and more prospective
employees to apply in the organization while the basic purpose of selection process is to choose
