Answer Posted / rajesh
RECRUITMENT
Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible
candidates for a job or function, undertaken by recruiters.
It may be undertaken by an employment agency or a member of
staff at the business or organization looking for recruits.
Advertising is commonly part of the recruiting process, and
can occur through several means: through newspapers, using
newspaper dedicated to job advertisement, through
professional publication, using advertisements placed in
windows, through a job center, through campus interviews,
etc.
Suitability for a job is typically assessed by looking for
skills, e.g. communication skills, typing skills, computer
skills. Evidence for skills required for a job may be
provided in the form of qualifications (educational or
professional), experience in a job requiring the relevant
skills or the testimony of references. Employment agencies
may also give computerized tests to assess an
individual's "off-hand" knowledge of software packages or
typing skills. At a more basic level written tests may be
given to assess numeracy and literacy. A candidate may also
be assessed on the basis of an interview. Sometimes
candidates will be requested to provide a résumé (also
known as a CV) or to complete an application form to
provide this evidence.
SELECTION
Selection is the process used to identify and hire
individuals or groups of individuals to fill vacancies
within an organization. Often based on an initial job
analysis, the ultimate goal of personnel selection is to
ensure an adequate return on investment--in other words, to
make sure the productivity of the new hire warrants the
costs spent on recruiting and training that hire.
Several screening methods exist that may be used in
personnel selection. Examples include the use of minimum or
desired qualifications, resume/application review, oral
interviews, work performance measures (e.g., writing
samples), and traditional tests (e.g., of job knowledge).
The field of personnel selection has a long history and is
associated with several fields of research and application,
including human resources and industrial psychology.
