$.1- Recruitment and election
Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of personnel
management. Recruitment precedes selection and helps in selecting a right
candidate.
Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the
re"uirement of the sta,ng schedule and to employ eective measures for
attracting that manpower in ade"uate numbers to facilitate eective selection of
e,cient personnel.

ta,ng is one basic function of management. +ll managers have responsibility of
sta,ng function by selecting the chief e/ecutive and even the foremen and
supervisors have a sta,ng responsibility when they select the rank and *le workers.
0owever the personnel manager and his personnel department is mainly
concerned with the sta,ng function.
'very organi2ation needs to look after recruitment and selection in the initial period
and thereafter as and when additional manpower is re"uired due to e/pansion and
development of business activities.

Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitablearrangements for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the
process of searching for and obtaining applicants for the jobs from among whom
the right people can be selected.
+ formal de*nition states 6)t is the process of *nding and attracting capable
applicants for the employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought
and ends when their applicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants
from which new employees are selected7. )n this the available vacancies are given
wide publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as
to have a pool of eligible candidates for scienti*c selection.
)n recruitment information is collected from interested candidates. or this dierent
source such as newspaper advertisement employment e/changes internal
promotion etc. are used.

The applicants received from job seekers would be subject to scrutiny so as to
eliminate un"uali*ed applicants. This is usually followed by a preliminary interview
the purpose of which is more or less the same as scrutiny of application that is
eliminate of un"uali*ed applicants. crutiny enables the 0R specialists to eliminate

+fter obtaining information through the preceding steps selection decision- the
most critical of all the steps- must be made. The other stages in the selection
process have been used to narrow the number of the candidates. The *nal decision
has to be made the pool of individuals who pas the tests interviews and reference
checks.
D. :0)C+% 'J+#)4+T)O4@ -
+fter the selection decision and before the job oer is made the candidate is
re"uired to undergo a physical *tness test. + job oer is often contingent upon the
candidate being declared *t after the physical e/amination. The results of the
medical *tness test are recorded in a statement and are preserved in the personnel
records. There are several objectives behind a physical test. Obviously one reason
for a physical test is to detect if the individual carries any infectious disease.
econdly the test assists in determining whether an applicant is physically *t to
perform the work. Thirdly the physical e/amination information can be used to
determine if there are certain physical capabilities which dierentiate successful
and less successful employees. ourth medical check-up protects applicants with
health defects from undertaking work that could be detrimental to them or might
otherwise endanger the employerFs property. inally such an e/amination will
protect the employer from workers compensation claims that are not valid because
the injuries or illness were present when the employee was hired.
K. HO! O'R@ -
The ne/t step in the selection process is job oer to those applicants who have
crossed all the previous hurdles. Hob oer is made through a letter of appointed.
uch a letter generally contains a date by which the appointee must report on duty.
The appointee must be given reasonable time for reporting. Thos is particularly
necessary when he or she is already in employment in which case the appointee is
re"uired to obtain a relieving certi*cate from the previous employer. +gain a newjob may re"uire movement to another city which means considerable preparation
and movement of property.

documents need to be e/ecuted by the employer and the candidate. One such
document is the attestation form. This form contains vital details about the
candidate which are authenticated and attested by him9her. +ttestation form will be

Contrary to popular perception the selection process will not end with e/ecuting the
employment contract. There is another step amore sensitive one reassuring those
candidates who have not selected not because of any serious de*ciencies in their
personality but because their pro*le did not match the re"uirement of the
organi2ation. They must be told that those who were selected were done purely on
