05.Recruitment and Selection

-

 

Recruitment

Recruitment is the process of finding, testing, hiring and ultimately riding qualified work passengers (Anwar & Surarchith, 2015). The hiring process may be more straightforward, but advances in technology, a strong labor market and a five-generation labor pool can make the first step - finding people who can be a part - especially challenging. Employment is an integral part of human resource management (HR) and is supported by the hiring manager and other stakeholders in the recruitment process. Skilled recruitment efforts will make the company stand out and be more attractive to potential employees, a strategy that can directly contribute to the company's crisis (Abdalla et al.,2021).

Selection

Employee selection commences after prospective employees have been recruitment in an organization. In the views of Maloney (2001), the selection can be considered to be a process where the best candidate is considered from a pool of available candidature. It is generally a type of procedure-oriented activity in which the different types of techniques and methodologies are used to select the most deserving candidate from the list of the available candidates (Ofori & Aryeetey, 2011).

In the view of Gamage (2014), the process of selection can be considered to be a specific type of process that can be used to either select the most suitable candidate from the list of the available candidates or to reject a large number of candidates that do not fulfil the entire set of the criteria for the available job vacancies for the said vacancy from the vast pool of candidates. It can be observed that the process of selection can be considered to be one of the process in which the employers do try to find the type of the person that is most suited for a particular type of job in the said organization by the fulfilment of all of its desirable criteria’s.

Nomination is the process of selecting the most suitable person to receive a vacant position in an organization. In other words, selection means removing unqualified applicants and selecting those people who have the qualifications and skills needed to complete tasks in the organization (Abdalla et al.,2021).

Recruitment and Selection Process

Recruitment and Selection has an essential part to play in ensuring work performance of an employee and positive leadership results. It is regularly guaranteed that selection of employees happens not simply to supplant withdrawing workers or add to a workforce yet rather expects to put set up labourers who can perform at a highlevel and show responsibility. In any company, there is a vital requirement of having successful and motivating leaders, who will ensure the successful running of the company as well as the enhanced performance of the team members (Armstrong, M., & Taylor, S, 2014).
There is a vital need for most effective leadership skills in a company so as to ensure the team performance in an effective and productive manner. Organizational structure, identities of leaders and adherents, the connection in which they work et cetera, all have impact in deciding the capacity and style of leadership. Also, when the team members perform effectively and work towards the common goal, it will enhance the overall success of the company. In this report, the case of an exclusive brand of luxury cosmetics based in London is discussed, in which the recruitment and selection process in the company, role of the line managers in the selection process, leadership skills and attributes, team work etc. in the company are highlighted.(Armstrong, M., & Taylor, S, 2014).



Conclusion

Difference between recruitment and selection is that recruitment involves searching candidates and encouraging them to apply for the vacant position in the organization, while selection involves choosing the most suitable candidate for the vacant post. Recruitment and selection are two stages in the employee hiring process.

The company’s recruitment and selection process is a great way to find fulfillment in the world of commercial trading. Financial managers need to decide on the job requirements and the type of person they should be able to meet. If an additional selection tool is to be used, there needs to be a team above the psychologist if they are to use a psychological test. Which is to set up more effective ways to hire applicants and choose the finest and lightest; it will enhance his ability to satisfy the personal needs of his organization.

    This is a better article on recruitment and selection. But if you can add something about e-recruitment it will be really appreciated. Over the last ten years, e-recruitment has been a popular topic. The internet is the most recent instrument for hiring. It's a true revolution in the world of job searching and recruiting. Online recruitment, often known as e-recruitment, cyber recruiting, or internet recruiting, refers to the official procurement of employment information using the internet (Kapse, Patil and Patil, 2012).

      Definitely I agree with you Ravindu, Almost 92% of companies in the USA started using social networks, which includes 93%, 66%, and 54% shares of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. There is an 85% increase since 2007 in using social sites for recruiting activities (Salmen, 2012).

    Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting qualified candidates for the vacant position and encouraging them to apply for the vacancy. Selection is the process of choosing the right candidate from the shortlisted applicants and offering them the chosen job (Kristina Potočnik, et al., 2021).

    The success of the company depends on it's employees. So, choosing the well-suited employee for the job is much more important for company’s benefits and success for long term. In one word “Recruitment and selection help organizations to choose the right candidates for the right positions” (Kristina Potočnik, et al., 2021).

      Agree with you Usama , according to Sangeetha (2010), “attracting, hiring and retaining qualified workforce is decisive for the growth of an organization”, as effective recruitment processes represent an important source for competitive advantage and thus, financial success of an organization.

    Russell, S. and Brannan, M.J., (2016) say employee recruitment, selection, training and on-going
    monitoring is key to the alignment between behavior and brand image, and potentially
    represents a new ‘frontier for control’ for the employment relationship.

      Yes Rifky , I agree with you, and According to Sarkar and Kumar(2007) organizational performance is hinged on the approach which the organization adopts in the recruitment and selection of employees. To this end, Sarkar and Kumar (2007) spoke of a holistic model of recruitment i.e. emphasizing the importance of the whole process of recruitment and the interdependence of its parts(Sinha & Thaly, 2013).

07.Herzberg's Two Factor Theory for Employee Motivation

  Introduction Motivation is a general term that refers to the entire class of drives, desires, needs, wishes and  similar forces that compel people to choose certain options over others (Maicibi, 2003). Motivation  involves internal and external forces that influence a person’s choice of action. In 1959, Herzberg  conducted a study on the job attitudes for 203 accountants and engineers. The participants were asked to  recall when they had felt positive or negative at work and the reasons why. The findings indicated that the  job characteristics were related to what an individual does and to the nature of the work that a person  performs. Motivation factors did appear to have the capacity to increase the sense of achievement,  competency, personal growth, self-realization and status. However, the absence of such gratifying job  characteristics does not appear to lead to de-motivation or dissatisfaction. Instead, dissatisfaction results...

04.Job Rotation

Introduction Job rotation is a practice where an employer moves employees to a new role that is equal to their previous role, either on an ongoing basis or for a set period (Huang, 1999). Job rotation is a lateral move rather than any type of promotion, although it can benefit the employee and the employer. It may happen on a regular schedule where an employee rotates through multiple jobs per year, or it may be a temporary rotation into a new job for a short period before the employee returns to their original position (Huang, 1999). While job rotation requires the person being rotated to have the right qualifications, it is an opportunity for employees to learn new skills. For instance, an employer can't rotate a nurse into a doctor's role because of the differing qualifications for those roles, but a nurse can move into a nursing role in different departments within the same organization. (Beatty, Schneier & McEvoy, 1987). Important of Job Rotation Job rotation all...
