Recruitment and Selection

    

"Recruitment is best described as the way in which an organization tires to source or attract the people from whom it will ultimately make selections. Recruitment strategies include effort to reach better pools of candidates and to sell the organization as an employer of choice" (Feichtinger & Hörold,2015) 

“Selection is about choosing between job candidates. It is about how to make a fair and accurate assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of applicants and how to identify the candidate who is most likely to perform well in the job” (Feichtinger & Hörold, 2015)

 

Recruitment and selection processes are one of the most important way in a company being repeated periodically. Recruiting and selecting the right workers is very important to organizations progress (Emma & Denisa, 2017). Today, Recruitment and Selection is considered as a crucial frame for aligning the people of the association to the business objects. Likewise, in moment’s modernized associations, Recruitment and Selection is seen as a major donation to Human Resource Management (Argue, 2015). 

Recruitment is defined as process of generating a pool of able people to apply an employment to an association but on the other hand Selection is act of opting one or further people or effects from a group or people is a set of them that have been named from a larger group (Anosh, et al., 2014)

The Figure 1 shows the hiring process is a systematic process that involves gathering candidates, organizing and conducting interviews, and the vacant position must be defined in the first stage in order to know how to fill it or what kind of employee we need to fill it. Once the position has been identified, it is necessary to update the job description and job specification, which describe the vacant position to applicants and specify the experience a person must have in order to perform the job (Hamza, et al., 2021).                 

Currently, utmost large associations have Human Resource department, some which are internal and some which are external, either way, this department has a lot to contribute. Some of the processes include training and development, performance operation, commercial image, payroll and employee satisfaction. These are all aspects that contribute to the overall performance of a business. Still, Recruitment and selection can be stressed as a major point of strategic Human Resource operation, as it's the people who are employed who insure the association can target its objects (Argue, 2015).

      Thanks for your feedback Rayan, For all firms around the world, finding and selecting the proper people is a significant task. The productivity, morale, timeliness, and financial health of an organization may all suffer from hiring the incorrect person. Understanding the recruitment and selection processes that are employed, or that should be employed, in order to attract, find, and select potential candidates who have the talent to become future leaders is crucial after determining the types of leaders or suitable candidates that the companies are looking for (Feichtinger & Hörold, 2015)

    Good content Haasan. Organizations invest funds and resources to design policies and procedures for their successful execution to achieve business goals because they understand how crucial they are to the success and survival of organizations (McDowall & Saunders 2010). It is the activity that links the employees and the job seekers. It is also defined as the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment (Kumari, 2012).

      Thank you for comment Madushan, The scope of Recruitment and Selection is very broad, and it includes a wide range of operations. Any organization's most valuable asset is its resources. As a result, the most important aspect of recruitment is hiring the right resources. Every company has its own recruitment pattern based on its recruitment policies and procedures (Armstrong, 2014)

    I agree with the points highlighted in Zacky 's blog. Especially when it comes to evaluation of qualifications and experience, I have witnessed Misrepresentation of qualifications by the candidates. For such deception, the curriculum vitae is a key location. On some CVs, degrees that were never earned are listed. (Attewell and Domina, 2011).

      Thanks for your feedback, The recruitment process begins with raising awareness about vacancies among potential candidates via various RMs such as advertisement, OLR methods, social media, and so on. These methods serve as a means for recruiters to communicate with prospective candidates in order to provide valuable and accurate job-related information, which encourages those candidates to apply for the same position in an organization. The intention of recruiters to use various RMs may be influenced by their attitude toward the usefulness of the methods in the form ROs, which can be a PEHO (easy accessibility, genuineness of resources, active processing) (Jamal El-Den & Sriratanaviriyakul, 2019)
