Recruitment & Selection
Recruitment
Selection & recruitment are
very important elements of the human resource management in a business
organization. As per the Gamage (2014) the quality of the human resource of the
organization extremely depends on the effectiveness of these functions. If
selection & recruitment is wrong; That recruitment will be a huge lost
which the organization cannot afford. that kind of wrong recruitment will
damage the business internally and also externally.
Therefore, the overall target of
the selection & recruitment in the business is to obtain the quality
employees and the no of employees that are required to fulfill the objectives
of the business at minimal cost (Ofori & Aryeetey, 2011).
“Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting suitably qualified people to apply for job vacancies in the organization” as explained by Opatha (2010).It is a set of activities to attract job seekers who has the needed attitudes and abilities. This is very important to every business organization.
Types of Recruitment.
1. Through internal source recruitment
2. External source recruitment
- Promotions
- Transferring
- Hiring ex-employee
- Employee referrals
- Internal job postings
Above pointed internal recruitments
gives advantages and also disadvantages to the organization. Like easy and
quick fulfilment of vacancies, and also someone who did not get promotion will
be discouraged also.
External
recruitment will benefit to the organization to get skill, semi skill &
unskilled work forces. This is quite time concerned process.
- Job advertisement
- Employment agencies
- Professional associations
External recruitment will benefit to the organization to get skill, semi skill & unskilled work forces. This is quite time concerned process.

There are advantages and disadvantages in this source too. External recruitment will help to get new knowledge to organization.
But recruitment process takes more time

company brand name in the employee market.

formal or informal, structured or unstructured, group interviews, depth interview,
stress interview, panel interview and individual interviews.
