Compare/contrast the two functions of recruitment and employee selection.

What will be an ideal response?


Recruitment is reaching out to attract a supply of potential employees. It's generally done by advertising but may also be accomplished using employee referrals, temporary help services, networking, state and private employment agencies, and scouting.
Selection is the process of determining whether an applicant has personal qualities that match the job specifications for a given position. Some of the qualities that working men and women say helped them get ahead are hard work, ability, and high standards.
The selection procedure involves (1) gathering information about the applicant, (2) making a job offer, and (3) orienting the new employee. Validity is not only important in the selection procedure but also can become a very important measure in defense of discrimination allegations in court.
