Introduction

The most valuable assets of an organization are the people who invest their time, skill and energy into laying a strong foundation for the operational and economic progress of the company. These human resources need to be motivated and compensated for their valuable contribution in order to sustain growth of the company. In this paper we are going to discuss the pertinent details about recruitment and selection of people. Today, approximately all the organizations are focused towards effective human resources. We are going to describe in detail about the recruitment and selection process that affect an organization's, and organizational benefits of attracting and retaining a diverse workforce.

Factors That Affect an Organization's Approach to Recruitment and Selection

Employees are the essentials of any organization and are an integral part of it. No organization can operate without its human resource. In this competitive environment it's a matter of having the right person at the right place. An employee that has been selected and placed well would contribute to the organization by performing efficiently.

Factors that affect the approach of an organization during the period of recruitment and selection include long and short term goals of the business which may include opening of a new department or hiring to achieve a short term goal that needs to be achieved within a set time period. The organization needs to analyze what sort of work force is required to accomplish functional requirements in the short and long term and meet the company's goals.

The budget of an organization determines how many employees can be hired. The quality triangle describes the connection between the three main factors that are required to run a project smoothly. Time is the available duration until the deadline to achieve the given target, budget and resources are represented by money and cost and quality is the standard that needs to be met in order to meet the customer requirements and achieve success. If the deadline is closer than to achieve the target on time effectively, more individuals may be employed which would affect the cost but otherwise the quality will suffer and not meet standards (Exforsys Inc. 2006, p1).

Each angle of the triangle affects the other, and both sides change if one does. So it is important to keep the budget allocated for the project in mind when recruiting and hiring. The client's requirements are to be assessed when hiring, as that will be done according to the average output required and if the current workforce's average efficiency is not matching the client's demands then the budget needs to be revaluated to accommodate recruitment of individuals who can help achieve the company's goals effectively and meet the demands and standards of the clients and customers (Ahmed, Tabassum and Hossain, 2006, p11).
