Recruitment

Introduction

The selection process consists of a series of specific steps that are used to decide which applicants should be hired. The process begins at the time a person applies for a job and ends when it produces the decision to hire an applicant (Bartlett, Preston, 2000, 199-209). In many departments' staff; integrates the functions of recruitment and selection in a single function that can be called recruitment. In the personnel departments of large dimensions is assigned the role of hiring a manager specific (Dye, 1995, 91-97). In the smaller, the department manager performs this task. The hiring function is associated with the personnel department, but also the selection process is important radical in human resource management. Therefore, proper selection is essential in the management of staff and even the success of the organisation (Edenborough, 2005, 66-72).
