WHAT IS RECRUITMENT
In human resource management, “recruitment” is the process of finding and hiring the best and
most qualified candidate for a job opening, in a timely and cost-effective manner. It also defined
as the “process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to
It is one whole process, with a full life cycle, that begins with identification of the needs of the
company with respect to the job, and ends with the introduction of the employee to the
organization.
When we speak of the recruitment process, we immediately think of activities such as the
analysis of the requirements of a specific job, attracting candidates to apply for that job,
screening the applicants and selecting among them, hiring the chosen candidates to become new
Obviously, the main reason why the recruitment process is implemented is to find the persons
who are best qualified for the positions within the company, and who will help them towards
attaining organizational goals. But there are other reasons why a recruitment process is
important.

To ensure proper alignment of skill sets to organizational goals.
Through recruitment, organizations make sure that the skill sets of the staff or manpower of the
In the event that they notice some positions do not really contribute to the advancement of the
organization towards its goals, then it can take the proper action to correct this, probably through
Effective recruiting means that the person employed for the job is the best possible candidate for
it, with all the required skills, talents and qualifications of the job. Efficient recruiting, on the
other hand, means that the process has been carried out without incurring a lot of costs on the
part of the organization. By following the process, there is a greater chance that the human
resources department can get the best possible person for the job.
Organizations may carry out their hiring processes their own way, but without a system or set
guidelines in place for its conduct and implementation, there is a risk that the company may
The company will also end up wasting its resources if the wrong or unqualified person was
actually hired. Not only will this create problems for the company in the long run, particularly in
the attainment of its goals, but it would mean that the organization would also have wasted its
resources in training an employee that is not right for the job after all.

To ensure compliance with policies and laws.
There are various rules, laws and regulations that organizations must adhere to when it comes to
hiring are two of them. By following a recruitment process, the chances of the organization
This is how you can create your employer value proposition and convince talent to join your
company.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is affected by several factors. These factors play a big part on whether the
A large organization is bound to have a higher demand for new employees. It is bound to look
for more people, since the structure will require more manpower. On the other end of the
spectrum, a small enterprise, like a new company just starting its operations, will require only a
lean staff.
Comparing the two, it is clear that the smaller enterprise will have a simpler, more
straightforward and shorter recruitment process, conducted by only one or two people. The larger
organization, however, will have a lengthier and more complex recruitment process, one where

difficulty finding the candidates with the talents and skills it requires.
The availability of prospective talents is one huge issue with respect to the economy that an
enterprise belongs to. The company will have to design and implement its recruitment process in
12
Salary structure of the organization
Say one company is known to provide higher salaries and wages to its employees. Once it
advertises its open position, candidates are likely to line up submitting their resumes. However, a
company known to be quite stingy with its wages will have more difficulty recruiting top talents.
In addition, it may even have problems keeping or retaining its employees, since no employee
would want to stay for a long time in a company that will not pay him enough for his services.
Maintaining employees’ job satisfaction is one way for organizations to keep its employees, and
Prospective candidates will first look for work in companies or organizations that are known to
provide good working conditions and looks out for the health and well-being of their employees.
There are organizations that grow at a fast rate, which means that they will require new
employees from time to time. However, there are also organizations that do not grow as much, or
even at all. The only time that these organizations with low growth rates are likely to recruit new
Before we fully launch into the recruitment process, let us address one question first: who
13
The answer is largely dependent on the size of the organization, as well as its culture and
practices. Large companies have their own human resource departments, where they have in-
house hiring managers. They may also acquire the services of third-party and independent human
Organizations, depending on their structure and specific needs, may have special procedures that
they integrate into their recruitment process. For purposes of discussion, however, we will take a
look at the general approach of a recruitment process, one that is used by most organizations or
Many say that recruitment begins when the job description is already in place and the hiring
managers begin the process of actually looking for candidates. However, if we are looking at it
Prior to the recruitment process, the organization must first identify the vacancy and evaluate the
need for that position. Will the organization suffer if that vacancy is not filled up? Is there really
a need for that open position to be occupied by someone? If the answer is affirmative, then you
Basically, this step will allow the human resources manager, hiring manager, and other members
of management on what the new employee will be required to do in the position that is currently
open for filling up. This has to be done in a systematic manner, which is what the job analysis is
for.
14
According to human resource managers, the position or job description is the “core of a
successful recruitment process”. After all, it is the main tool used in developing assessment tests
Before anything else, the organization must first know exactly what it needs. Or who it needs. It
could be that the organization deemed a need for a job that is not included in the current roster of
Job analysis involves identification of the activities of the job, and the attributes that are needed
for it. These are the main parts that will make up the job description. This part has to be done
right, since the job description will also be used in the job advertisement when it is time to
15
Once the job description has been created, it is a good idea to review it for accuracy, and to
assess whether it is current or not. Also, in cases where job descriptions are already in place,
there is a need to revisit them and check their accuracy and applicability with respect to the
status quo. What if the job description is already outdated? A review will reveal the need to

dissatisfaction. By reviewing the job description, management can assess whether the job is
getting paid an amount that is commensurate to the skills and competencies required.
Finally, you should then have an effective job description ready for attracting talent.
16
c. Set minimum qualifications for the employee who will do the job.
These are the basic requirements that applicants are required to have in order to be considered for
the position. These are required for the employee to be able to accomplish the essential functions
of the job. Therefore, they should be relevant and directly relate to the identified duties and
The organization may also opt to include other preferred qualifications that they are looking for,
The job must belong to a salary range that is deemed commensurate to the duties and
responsibilities that come with the position. Aside from complying with legislation (such as laws
on minimum wages and other compensation required by law), the organization should also base
For example, if the position is that of a computer programmer, then the salary range should be
within the same range that other companies within the same industry offer
This is the stage where the organization will let it be known to everyone that there is an open
position, and that they are looking for someone to fill it up.
Before advertising, however, the organization must first know where to look for potential
candidates. They should search out the sources where the persons that can potentially fill the job
17
are going to be available for recruitment. That way, they will know where to direct their
advertising efforts.
Various methods are employed by organizations in order to advertise the open position.
Networking. Word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising, and when it takes the form of
networking, it becomes more effective. In recruitment, this is often done through representatives
of the company attending college and career fairs, letting them know about the opening in their
organization. This is a tactic employed by large software and tech companies that want to hire
fresh, young and brilliant minds into their organization. They personally visit colleges, targeting
the top students. They also use their connections within the industry to attract the attention of
Posting. Recruitment often involves the application of candidates both from within and outside
the company. Thus, in order to attract the best possible talents, it is recommended that the
posting of the open positions be made internally and externally. Internal posting usually takes the
form of the vacancy announcement being displayed in bulletin boards and other areas within the
business premises where the employees and visitors to the company are likely to see it. Posting
externally may be in the form of flyers being distributed, or vacancy notices being displayed in
other areas outside of the business premises. Companies with websites often post open positions
Print and media advertising. One classic example of this would be the Classifieds section of
the local daily or weekly newspaper. Companies looking for people to fill up open positions
make the announcement in the newspapers, providing the qualifications and the contact details
where prospective applicants may submit their application documents. When trying to attract the
18
attention of suitable candidates, the organization makes use of various tools and techniques. If it
wants to get the best candidates, then it should not be haphazard about things.
Developing and using proper techniques. The company may include various offerings in order
to attract the best candidates. Examples are attractive salaries, bonus and incentive packages,
additional perks and opportunities that come with the job, proper facilities at work, and various
Using the reputation of the company. Perhaps the best publicity that the company can use to
attract candidates is its own reputation in the market. If the company is known for being a good
employer – one that aids in its employees’ personal and professional growth and development –
then it is a good point for the company to capitalize on in advertising its open positions.
This is most probably the part of the recruitment process that requires the most amount of work.
This is where the applicants’ skills and personalities are going to be tested and evaluated, to
ascertain whether they are a good fit for the job and its description.
Preliminary screening. It is often the case, especially in large organizations, where one open
position will receive hundreds to thousands of applications from candidates. In an ideal world, it
would be good for the hiring managers to be able to interview each and every single one of them.
However, that is also impractical, and very tedious. Not really advisable, especially if the
organization is in need of manpower in the soonest possible time. Thus, there is a need to shorten
the list of candidates, and that is done through a preliminary screening. Usually, this is conducted
by going through the submitted resumes and choosing only those that are able to meet the
19
minimum qualifications. It is possible that this would shorten the list of applicants, leaving a
Initial interview. The candidates who were able to pass the preliminary screening will now
undergo the initial interview. In most cases, the initial interview is done through phone. There
are those who also conduct interviews through videos using their internet connection. Often a
basic interview, this may involve the candidates being asked questions to evaluate or assess their
basic skills and various personal characteristics that are relevant to the open position.
Conduct of various tests for recruitment. The hiring managers may conduct tests on the skills
of the candidates and how they use these skills and talents. Other tests that are often employed
Final interview. Usually depending on the number of candidates for the job, and the preference
of the hiring managers and senior management, a series of interviews may be conducted,
gradually narrowing down the list of candidates. This may go on until the company has finally
come up with a shortlist of candidates that will undergo a final interview. Often, the final
interview requires a face-to-face meeting between the candidate and the hiring managers, as well
as other members of the organization. Top management may even be involved during the final
Selection. In this stage, the hiring managers, human resources representatives, and other
members of the organization who participated in the process meet together to finally make a
selection among the candidates who underwent the final interview. During the discussion, the

There will be no problem if they have a unanimous decision on the candidate that the job will be
If they do not arrive at a decision, there may be a need to restart the recruiting process, until such
time that they are able to reach a decision that everyone will be satisfied with.
The last step of the previous phase involves the selection of the best candidate out of the pool of
applicants. It is now time for the organization to offer the job to the selected applicant.
Making the offer: To make things more formal, a representative of the company or of the
human resources department will contact the candidate and inform him that he has been selected
for the job. In this stage, complete details of the compensation package will also be made known
to the applicant.
Acceptance of the offer by the applicant: The applicant should also communicate his
acceptance of the offer for it to be final. Take note that, if the selected applicant does not accept
the job offer and declines it, the recruitment process will have to start all over again.
The moment that the applicant accepted the job offer, he has officially gone from being an
applicant to an employee of the organization. The induction process will now begin.
Usually, the beginning of the induction process is marked by the signing of the employment
contract, along with a welcome package given to the new employee. The date for the first day

However, it doesn’t end there. The employee will still have to undergo pre-employment
screening, which often includes background and reference checks. When all these pre-
employment information have been verified, the employee will now be introduced to the
organization.
Recruitment Functions
Recruitment is the process by which companies find and hire new employees.
The HR department is usually responsible for recruitment. This department works to find and
attract capable applicants. Job descriptions and specifications provide the needed information

Factors of Recruitment
The recruitment function of the organizations is affected and governed by a mix of various
internal and external forces. The internal forces are the factors that can be controlled by the
organization.
And the external factors are those factors which cannot be controlled by the organization.
The internal and external forces affecting the recruitment function of an organization are:

Size of the organization
The recruitment process is affected by the size of the organization to a large extent. Experience
suggests that larger organizations recruit more candidates than small ones.
Recruiting Policy
The recruitment policy of the firm also affects the recruitment process. This policy is concerned
with candidates from outside the organization, whereas others want to recruit from internal
sources.
Image or goodwill of the organization also affects recruitment. Organizations having good image
Good public relation, rendering public services, etc. help to enhance the image and reputation of
the organization.
Image of job
Jobs had a good image in terms of better remuneration, working condition, promotion, career
development opportunities, etc can attract the potential and qualified candidates to a large extent.
External factors are concerned with the environmental changes that will take place in the external
Some of the external factors that affect recruitment policy are as follows:
25
Demographic factors
Demography is the study of human population in terms of age, sex, occupation, religion,
composition, ethnicity, etc. The demographic factors have a profound influence on the
recruitment process.
Labor market
Labor market constitutes the force of demand and supply of labor of particular importance.
For instance, if demand for a particular skill is high relative to its supply, the recruitment process
evolves more efforts. Contrary to it, if the supply is more than demand, the recruitment process
will be easier.
Unemployment situations
The unemployment rate of a particular area is yet another influencing factor of the recruitment
process. If the unemployment rate is high, the recruitment process will be simpler and vice versa.
The forces of the social and political environment also influence recruitment policy.
For instance, the change in government can have a direct impact on the recruitment policy of the

HR Challenges in Recruitment
Recruitment is a function that requires business perspective, expertise, ability to find and match
the best potential candidate for the organization, diplomacy, marketing skills (as to sell the
position to the candidate) and wisdom to align the recruitment processes for the benefit of the
organization.
The HR professionals – handling the recruitment function of the organization- are constantly
facing new challenges in Recruitment. The biggest HR challenge in Recruitment for such
professionals is to source or recruit the best people or potential candidate for the organization.

Sources of recruitment
Two types of sources of recruitment are available such as;
internal sources (present employees, employee referrals, former employees and previous
applicants), and
recruitment, walk-ins and write-ins, consultants, radio and television, competitors and E-
recruiting, etc.).
Rival firms can be a source of recruitment. Popularly called poaching or raiding, this method
involves identifying the right people in the rival companies, offering them better terms and luring
them away. In order to reduce costs, organizations look into labor markets likely to offer the
Generally, companies look into the national market for managerial and professional employees,
regional or local markets for technical employees and local markets for clerical and blue-collar
employees.
Sources of Recruitment
There are basically two sources of supply from where potential employees can be drawn. These
are internal sources and external sources. Internal sources indicate recruiting qualified people
from within the organization itself (from the present working force).
When reference is made to the number of employees already employed by the organization, we

External recruitment is concerned with generating a pool of qualified candidates through external
sources of employment.
The external sources of recruitment include – employment at the factory gate, advertisements,
recommendations, etc.
Advantages and disadvantages are associated with promoting from within the organization and
The people responsible for selecting internal candidates for vacant positions have access to more
comprehensive information relating to their abilities, track record and potential achievement than
they would have if they were selecting people originating from the external source.
It is motivating to employees, as they are preferred over outsiders when the vacancies occur.
The promotion may be biased in nature and may be based on seniority rather than merit.
31
Possible morale problems emerged for them who have not been promoted.
This channel of recruitment discourages new blood from entering the organization.
Promotion from within should be aided by careful employee selection. The employment process
Effective promotion from within also depends on other HR actions. It depends on providing the
education and training needed to help employees identify and develop their promotion potential.
All firms more or less rely on external sources. Advantages of external sources are: o It offers the
organization the opportunity to inject new ideas into its operations by utilizing the skills of
external candidates.

THEORIES REGARDING RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is two-way street it takes a recruiter has a choice whom to recruit, same way the
prospective employee also has taken the decision whether or not to apply for the given job
vacancy. The individual takes the decision usually on three different basic:
The objectives theory views that the process of organizational choice as being one of weighing
and evaluating set of measurable characteristic of employment offers, such pay, benefits ,
location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of job to performed, and education
opportunities.
Whereas, the critical contact theory suggests that the typical candidates is unable to make a

when applicant can readily perceive the factors such as the behaviour of the recruiters, the nature
of the physical facilities, and such as the efficiency in processing paper work association with the
application.

the compensation package and a host of other factors influence the manner of aspirants are likely
to respond to the recruiting efforts of the company. Through the process of recruitment, the
company tries to locate prospective employees and encourages them to apply for vacancies at
To select means to choose. Selection is the process of picking individuals who have relevant
qualifications to fill jobs in an organization. The basic purpose is to choose the individual who
can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates.
The purpose of selection is to pick up the most suitable candidate who would meet the
requirements of the job in an organization best, to find out which job applicant will be
successful, if hired. To meet this goal, the company obtains and assesses information about the
applicants in terms of age, qualifications, skills, experience, etc. the needs of the job are matched
The most suitable person is then picked up after eliminating the unsuitable applicants through
successive stages of selection process. How well an employee is matched to a job is very
important because it is directly affects the amount and quality of employee’s work. Any

SELECTION PROCESS
Selection is usually a series of hurdles or steps. Each one must be successfully cleared before the
applicant proceeds to the next one. The time and emphasis place on each step will definitely vary
from one organization to another and indeed, from job to job within the same organization. The
sequence of steps may also vary from job to job and organization to organization. For example
some organizations may give more importance to testing while others give more emphasis to
interviews and reference checks. Similarly a single brief selection interview might be enough for
applicants for lower level positions, while applicants for managerial jobs might be interviewed
by a number of people.
39
The Employee selection Process takes place in following order-
It is used to eliminate those candidates who do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria laid
down by the organization. The skills, academic and family background, competencies and
interests of the candidate are examined during preliminary interview. Preliminary interviews are
less formalized and planned than the final interviews. The candidates are given a brief up about
the company and the job profile; and it is also examined how much the candidate knows about
the company.

Comprehensive Interviews
Interviews are a crucial part of the recruitment process for most organizations.
Their purpose is to give the selector a chance to assess the candidate and to demonstrate their
abilities and personality. It’s also an opportunity for an employer to assess them and to make
sure the organization and position are right for the candidate. An interview is an attempt to
secure maximum amount of information from candidate concerning his suitability for the job
under consideration.

Technical Interviews
If a candidate has applied for a job or course that requires technical knowledge (e.g. positions
in engineering or IT) it is likely, at some stage in the selection process, that the candidate will
be asked technical questions or have a separate technical interview to test his/her knowledge.

assessment centres- followed by a discussion about the polygraph test, graphology and integrity
test.
standardised because the way the tests is carried out, the environment in which the test is
administered and the way the individual scores are calculated- are uniformly applied. It is
objective in that it tries to measure individual differences in a scientific way giving very little
room for individual bias and interpretation. Over the years employment tests have not only
gained importance but also a certain amount of inevitability in employment decisions. Since they
try to objectively determine how well an applicant meets the job requirement, most companies
do not hesitate to invest their time and money in selection testing in a big way. Some of the
Intelligence tests
Aptitude tests
Personality tests

learning ability and the ability to understand instructions and make judgements. The basic

clerical, mechanical, mathematical,etc. These tests indicate whether or not an individual has
the capabilities to learn a given job quickly and efficiently. In order to recruit efficient office

with other tests like intelligence and personality tests as it does not measure on-the-job-
motivation
3. PERSONALITY TETS: Of all test required for selection the personality tests have
generated a lot of heat and controversy. The definition of personality, methods of measuring
personality factors and the relationship between personality factors and actual job criteria has
been the subject of much discussion. Researchers have also questioned whether applicants
answer all the items truthfully or whether they try to respond in a socially desirable manner.
4. ACHIEVEMENT TEST: These are designed to measure what the applicant can do on the
job currently, i.e., whether thetestee actually knows what he or she claims to know. A typing

the applicants to complete the application forms and write about why they want a job. These
samples may be finally sent to graphologist for analysis and the result may be put use while

considered internal recruiting. There are many different mechanisms, some formal and some

INTRODUCTION:
This study helps the organization to identify the area of problem in recruitment and selection
process and suggests the way to improve the recruitment and selection process in the
organization.
Human resource always remains central to the organisations as dynamic and effective people can
construct dynamic enterprises. Among the HR practices recruitment is the basic function where
Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting, short listing, selecting and appointing
suitable candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an organization. It is one
whole process, with a full life cycle, that begins with identification of the needs of the company
with respect to the job, and ends with the introduction of the employees to the organization.
Selection is a process which includes various phases such as exploring the applicants in order to
check whether they are suitable for the job or not, picking up the right ones from the pool of
applicants and eliminating the rests . Therefore, selection can be regarded as a negative process
in its application, as its main aim is to reject as many unsuitable individuals as possible.

Everything you need to know about the recruitment and selection process in HRM. Recruitment
& selection is one of the important aspects of human resource planning. Human resource
planning ensures that right kind and right quality of employees are employed so as to achieve the
organizational goals.
Recruitment helps in creating a pool of suitable and interested job applicants, out of which few
are chosen for the further selection process. Hence, it forms a base for selection process. If the
recruitment process is carried out properly, it will help in employing workforce that suits the
organizational requirements.
Selection of candidates begins where their recruitment ends. In other words, it is only after an
adequate number of applications have been secured through different sources of recruitment –
The enterprise has to choose the best and the most promising persons from among the applicants.
In this sense, it may be said that while recruitment is a positive function in that it seeks to induce
as many persons as possible to apply for a job in the enterprise. Selection is negative function
because it aims at eliminating those applicants who are not found suitable in one respect or the
other.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Nowadays, every organization necessitates personnel planning as one of the most vital activities.
Human Resource Planning is, by far, an essential ingredient for the success of any organization
in the long run. There are a number of techniques that need to be followed by every organization
that guarantees that it possesses the right number and type of people, at the right time and right
place, so as to enable the organization to achieve its planned objectives. Commonly, the
objectives of Human Resource Planning department include resource, planning, recruitment and
selection, career planning, training and development, promotions, risk management, performance
appraisal, to name a few. Each of these objectives requires special attention and accurate

However, the process of recruitment does not cease with application of candidature and selection
of the appropriate candidates, but involves sustaining and retaining the employee that are
Work of Silzer et al. (2010) was largely concerned with Talent management, and through their
work they were successful in resolving issues like whether or not talent is something one can be
born with or is it something that can be acquired through development. According to Silzer et al
(2010), that was a core challenge in designing talent systems, facing the organization and among
the senior management. The only solution to resolve the concern of attaining efficient talent
drawn practical plan on recruitment and selection as well as involvement of highly qualified
management team, companies following recruitment processes may face significant obstacles in
implementation. As such, theories of HRM can give insights in the most effective approaches to
recruitment even though companies will have to employ their in house management skills for
applying generic theories across particular organizational contexts. Word conducted by Silzer et
al (2010) described that the primary objective of successful talent strategies is to create both a
case as well as a blueprint for developing the talent strategies within a dynamic and highly
that matter,, shapes the competitive advantages and success of many companies (Silzer et al.
2010).

Price (2007), in his work Human Resource Management in a Business Context, formally defines
recruitment and selection as the process of retrieving and attracting able applications for the
purpose of employment. He states that the process of recruitment is not a simple selection
process, while it needs management decision making and broad planning in order to appoint the
most appropriate manpower. There existing competition among business enterprises for
recruiting the most potential workers in on the pathway towards creating innovations, with
management decision making and employers attempting to hire only the best applicants who
would be the best fit for the corporate culture and ethics specific to the company (Price 2007).
Edwin Flippo defines Recruitment and selection process as “A process of searching for
prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an
organization.”
In simpler terms, recruitment and selection are concurrent processes and are void without each
other. They significantly differ from each other and are essential constituents of the organization.
It helps in discovering the potential and capabilities of applicants for expected or actual
organizational vacancies. It is a link between the jobs and those seeking jobs.
According to Korsten (2003) and Jones et al. (2006), Human Resource Management theories
emphasize on techniques of recruitment and selection and outline the benefits of interviews,
assessment and psychometric examinations as employee selection process. They further stated
that recruitment process may be internal or external or may also be conducted online. Typically,
this process is based on the levels of recruitment policies, job postings and details, advertising,
82
job application and interviewing process, assessment, decision making, formal selection and
Jones et al. (2006) suggested that examples of recruitment policies in the healthcare, business or
industrial sector may offer insights into the processes involved in establishing recruitment
Successful recruitment techniques involve an incisive analysis of the job, the labour market
scenario/ conditions and interviews, and psychometric tests in order to find out the potentialities
of job seekers. Furthermore, small and medium sized enterprises lay their hands on interviews
and assessment with main concern related to job analysis, emotional intelligence in
inexperienced job seekers, and corporate social responsibility. Other approaches to selection
outlined by Jones et al. (2006) include several types of interviews, role play, group discussions
Any management process revolves around recruitment and failure in recruitment may lead to
difficulties and unwanted barriers for any company, including untoward effects on its
profitability and inappropriate degrees of staffing or employee skills (Jones et al. 2006). In
additional, insufficient recruitment may result into lack of labour or hindrances in management
decision making, and the overall recruitment process can itself be advanced and amended by
complying with management theories. According to these theories, the recruitment process can
be largely enhanced by means of Rodgers seven point plan, Munro-Frasers five-fold grading

Hiltrop (1996) was successful in demonstrating the relationship between the HRM practices,
on HR manager and company officials of 319 companies in Europe regarding HR practices and
policies of their respective companies and discovered that employment security, training and
development programs, recruitment and selection, teamwork, employee participation, and lastly,
personnel planning are the most essential practices (Hiltrop 1999). As a matter of fact, the
primary role of HR is to develop, control, manage, incite, and achieve the commitment of the
employees. The findings of Hiltrop’s (1996) work also showed that selectively hiring has a
insight for executives and officials involved. Furthermore, staffing and selection remains to be an
area of substantial interest. With recruitment and selection techniques for efficient hiring
decisions, high performing companies are most likely to spend more time in giving training
particularly on communication and team-work skills (Hiltrop 1999). Moreover the finding that
there is a positive connection existing between firm performances and training is coherent with
the human capital standpoint. Hence, Hiltrop (1996) suggests the managers need to develop HR
practices that are more focused on training in order to achieve competitive benefits.
As discussed by Jackson et al. (2009), Human resource management approaches in any business
organization are developed to meet corporate objectives and materialization of strategic plans via
training and development of personnel to attain the ultimate goal of improving organizational
performance as well as profits. The nature of recruitment and selection for a company that is
pursuing HRM approach is influenced by the state of the labour market and their strength within
it. Furthermore, it is necessary for such companies to monitor how the state of labour market
connects with potential recruits via the projection of an image which will have an effect on and
84
reinforce applicant expectations. Work of Bratton & Gold (1999) suggest that organizations are
now developing models of the kind of employees they desire to recruit, and to recognize how far
applicants correspond to their models by means of reliable and valid techniques of selection.
Nonetheless, the researchers have also seen that such models, largely derived from competency
frameworks, foster strength in companies by generating the appropriate knowledge against which
the job seekers can be assessed. However, recruitment and selection are also the initial stages of
a dialogue among applications and the company that shapes the employment relationship
(Bratton & Gold 1999). This relationship being the essence of a company’s manpower
recruitment and selection can lead to the loss of high quality job seekers and take the initial stage
outcomes extremely difficult. In the opinion of Bratton and Gold (1999), recruitment and
selection practices are essential characteristics of a dialogue driven by the idea of “front-end”
loading processes to develop the social relationship among applicants and an organization. In this
relationship, both parties make decisions throughout the recruitment and selection and it would
be crucial for a company to realize that high-quality job seekers, pulled by their view of the
organization, might be lost at any level unless applications are provided for realistic organization
as well as work description. In view of Jackson et al. (2009) and Bratton & Gold (1999)
applicants have a specific view of expectations about how the company is going to treat them;
recruitment and selection acts as an opportunity to clarify this view. Furthermore, one technique
of developing the view, suggested by Bratton and Gold (1999), are realistic job previews or RJPs
that may take the form of case studies of employees and their overall work and experiences, the
opportunity to “cover” someone at work, job samples and videos. The main objective of RJPs is
85
to allow for the expectations of job seekers to become more realistic and practical. RJPs tend to
lower initial expectations regarding work and a company, thereby causing some applications to
select themselves; however RJPs also increase the degree of organization commitment, job
satisfaction, employee performance, appraisal and job survival among job seekers who can
continue into employment (Bratton & Gold 1999) Jackson et al. (2009).
