RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION INTRDUCTION People are integral part of any organization today.

No organization run without its human resources. In todays highly complex and competitive situation, choice of right person at the right place has far reaching implications for an organizations functioning. Employee well selected and well placed would not only contribute to the efficient running of the organization but offer significant and potential for future replacement. This hiring is an important function. This process of hiring begins with human resource planning (HRP) which helps to determine the number and type of the people on organization needs. Job analysis and job design enables to specify tasks and duties of jobs and qualification expected from prospective job HRP, Job analysis, job design helps to identify the kind of the people required in an organization and hence hiring. It should be noted that hiring is an ongoing process and not confines to formative stages of an organization. Employee leaves the organization in search of greener pastures, some retire and some die in the saddle. More importantly an enterprises grow, diversifies, take over the other units all necessitating hiring of new men and women. In fact the hiring function stops only when organization ceases to exist.

Hiring involves two broad categories 1) Recruitment and 2) Selection RECRUITMENT The word recruitment has many meanings and plays an important role. To understand recruitment in simple terms it is understood as process of searching for obtaining the applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. Theoretically, recruitment process is said to end with receipt of application in practice the activity extends to the screening of applicants as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the job.

SELECTION Selection is a process of picking individuals (out of the pool of the job applicants) with requisite qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization. A formal definition of selection is: It is a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and here) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.

Recruitment and selection are the two crucial in the HR process and are often used interchangeably. There I, however, a fine distinction between the two steps. While recruitment refers to the process of identifying and encouraging prospective employees to apply for jobs, selection is concerned with picking the right candidates from the pool of applicants. Recruitment is said to be positive in its approach as it seeks to attract as many as candidates as possible. Selection, on the other hand, is negative in its applicants as possible in order to identify the right candidates. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: Research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem. In it, we study the various steps that are generally adapted by a researcher in studying research problem along with logic behind them. It includes the formulating of research problem, study of literature, collecting the data, analyzing that data and making interpretations of that data.
