CONCLUSION
The human element of organization is the most crucial asset of an organization.
Taking a closer perspective it is the very quality of this asset that sets an organization
apart from the others, the very element that brings the organization’s vision into
fruition.
The employees of any organization are its life blood, without doubt. With the dawn
of this realization upon the present day business organizations, there appears to be a
major shift towards human resource management .In fact, the employees of today are
encouraged to participate in the major decisions and thus play a vital role in the
management of the firm. The performance of the organization depends on the
efficiency that its employees exhibit. Hence it is of crucial importance that
employee’s with the most suitable qualifications be selected. This is where the
processes of recruitment and selection come in. It is difficult to separate one from the
other. Thus, one can grasp the strategic implications that the manpower of an
organization has in shaping the fortunes of an organization. This is where the
complementary roles of Recruitment and Selection come in. The role of these aspects
in the contemporary organization is a subject on which the experts have pondered,
deliberated and studied, considering the vital role that they obviously play.
The essence of recruitment can be summed up as ‘the philosophy of attracting as
many applicants as possible for given jobs’. The face value of this definition is what
guided recruitment activities in the past. These days, however, the emphasis is on
aligning the organization’s objectives with that of the individual’s. By making this a
priority, an organization safeguards its interests and standing. After all, a satisfied
workforce is a stable workforce which also ensures that an organization has credible
and reliable performance. The project examines the various processes and nuances
one of the most critical activities of an organization.
The end result of the recruitment process is essentially a pool of applicants. Next to
recruitment, the logical step in the HR process is the selection of qualified and
competent people.
In the end, this project endeavors to present a comprehensive picture of sources &
process of Recruitment and Selection of candidate and hopes to enable the reader to
appreciate the various intricacies involved.
These processes require a great deal of thought and advanced planning. In fact, it is
not only the HR department that is involved. The finance department provides the
budget for the processes and the manpower gap is determined by inputs from all the
departments. Also the grueling procedure through which the candidate goes through
is, in itself, an indicator of the significance of these processes in the efficient
functioning of the organization.
