INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
For every organization it is important to have the right person on the right job. Recruitment and
Selection plays a vital role in this situation. Shortage of skills and the use of new technology are
putting considerable pressure on how employers go about Recruiting and Selecting staff. It is
recommended to carry out a strategic analysis of Recruitment and Selection procedure.
Recruitment however is not just a simple selection process but also requires management
decision making and extensive planning to employ the most suitable manpower. Competition
among business organizations for recruiting best potential has used focus on innovation, and
management decision making and the selectors aim to recruit only the best candidates who
would suit the corporate culture, ethics and climate specific to the organisation.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
“Recruitment is the process of finding and hiring the best Qualified candidate (from within or
Outside of an organization) for a job opening, in a timely and cost effective manner. The
Recruitment process includes analysing the requirements of a job, attracting employees to that
Job, screening and selecting applicants, hiring, and integrating the new employee to the
Organization”
“Selection is the process of putting the right men in the right job. It is a procedure of matching
Organizational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people. Recruitment is
Considered to be a positive process as it motivates more candidates to apply for the job. It
Creates a pool of applicants”
Recruitment and selection refers to the chain and sequence of activities pertaining to recruitment
and selection of employable candidates and job seekers for an organization. Every enterprise,
business, start-up and entrepreneurial firm has some well-defined employment and recruitment
policies and hiring procedures. The HR department of large organizations, businesses,
government offices and multilateral organizations are generally vested with the responsibilities
of employee recruitment and selection.
They clearly defined that Recruitment and Selection Process is a key to the success of any
Human Resources Department

NEED FOR THE STUDY
The generally purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified Job candidates
Determine the present and future requirement of the organization with its personnel planning
and job analysis activities. Increase the job pool of job Candidates at minimum cost Help to
increase the success rate of the selection process by Reducing the number visibly under qualified
or job application.
Help to reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave the
organization only after a short period of time Being identifying and preparing potential job
applicants who will be appropriate candidates.
Recruitment and selection process is one of the important functions of HRM. In this present
globalization era, human resources are very important for every organization. So an effective
process of recruitment and selection are needed for the effective organization.
Blue frog Mobile Technologies PVT LTD should follow the best methods of recruitment and
selection procedures. For every organization, searching for the suitable applications is the first
step and selection of the right person for the right job at the right time is the basic foundation. If
this foundation is strong, then there is a lot of chance for the organization to increase their
effectiveness at the key points. So finally selection of the candidate becomes the heart of the
particular organization. So this study is done to understand the recruitment and selection
activities in the organization and to know to what extent these activities have been successful in
the organization development.
Human resources are the most important asset. The way the organization provides service well to
a large extent contributes to the success of the organization. Hence there is a requirement of
highly motivated workforce i.e., willing to perform high standards

INDUSTRY PROFILE
IT BACKGROUND
India is the world’s largest sourcing destination with the largest qualified talent pool of technical
graduates in the world. According to the National Association of Software and Service
Companies (Nasscom), the Indian IT industry’s revenue is estimated to reach US$ 194 billion in
FY21, an increase of 2.3% YoY. The sector is the largest employer within the private sector.
According to Gartner estimates, IT spending in India is estimated to reach US$ 93 billion in
2021 (7.3 % YoY growth) and further increase to US$ 98.5 billion in 2022. As of FY21, the IT
industry employed 4.5 million people.
This push towards cloud services has boosted hyper-scale data centre investments, with global
investments estimated to exceed -US$ 200 billion annually by 20
25. India is expected to gain a significant share in the global market, with the country’s
investment. Expected to hit ~US$ 5 billion annually by 2025.
According to the research findings commissioned by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Indian
enterprises and public sector organisations (that migrated from on-premises data centres to cloud
infrastructure) can expect to lower energy and carbon Footprint by over 80%.
The Indian mobile gaming market is growing at a pace in tandem with the global trend and is
expected to reach US$ 7 billion in 2025.In Budget 2021, the government has allocated Rs.
53,108 crore (US$ 7.31 billion) to the IT and telecom sector. The IT industry accounted for 8%
of India’s GDP in 2020. Exports from the Indian IT industry are expected to increase by 1.9% to
reach US$ 150 billion in FY21.
India’s software services exports (excluding exports through commercial presence) increased by
4% in FY21 compared with FY20 and are estimated at USD 133.7 billion During 2020-21.
10
In 2020, the IT industry recorded 138,000 new hires. According to STPI (Software Technology
Park of India), the software exports by its registered units increased by 7% YoY to reach Rs. 5
lakh crore (US$ 67.40 billion) in FY21 from Rs. 4.66 lakh crore(US$ 62.82 billion) in FY20,
driven by rapid digitization and the IT industry’s timely Transition to remote working
environments that helped to keep up the industry’s growth Amid coronavirus pandemic
According to STPI (Software Technology Park of India), software exports by the IT Companies
connected to it, stood at Rs. 1.20 lakh crore (US$ 16.29 billion) in the first quarter of FY22. In
August 2021, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology. Mr.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, announced that the IT export target is set at US$ 400 billion for March
2022. In addition, the central government plans to focus in areas, such as cybersecurity, hyper-
scale computing, artificial intelligence and block chain
The IT & BPM industry’s revenue is estimated at USS 194 billion in FY21, an increase of 2.3%
YoY. The domestic revenue of the IT industry is estimated at US$ 45 billion and export revenue
is estimated at US$ 150 billion in FY21. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to boost India’s
annual growth rate by 1.3% by 2035, as per NITI Aayog. A substantial increase in Al by Indian
firms can result in a 2.5% increase in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the immediate
term. In September 2020, NASSCOM Future Skills and Microsoft collaborated to launch a
nationwide Al skilling initiative to train one million students in Al technology by 2021.
The computer software and hardware sector in India attracted cumulative foreign direct
investment (FDI) inflows worth US$ 74.12 billion between April 2000 and June 2021. The
sector ranked 2d in FDI inflows as per the data released by Department for Promotion of
Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
In 2020, PE investments in the sector stood at US$ 7.5 billion. IT & BPM led the venture
Capital (VC) investment with 380 deals in 2020, contributing 71% of the total deal count. The
COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the demand for third-party data centre services in India.
The Government of India has extended tax holidays to the IT sector for Software Technology
Parks of India (STPI) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs). As of February 2020, there were 421
approved SEZS across the country, with 276 of them from IT & BPM and 145 as exporting
SEZS.
11
The Karnataka government has signed three MoUs worth US$ 13.4 million (Rs. 100.52 crore) to
help the state’s emerging technology sector.
The development of the Indian software industry is an archetype of how economic liberalization
combined with an entrepreneurial spirit can build an industry that today contributes as much as
8% to the GDP of a fast-growing country like India. On the back of thousands of IT services
companies that were built over the last three decades, the industry has generated US$177 billion
in revenue and more than US$135 billion int exports in FY 20182019 alone. The IT industry has
also created over four million direct jobs and 12 million indirect jobs in India. A testament to this
growth is the fact that the largest Indian IT services company is currently valued at over US$100
billion and generates over US$20 billion in revenue.
Over the years, the Indian software industry has matured from providing cost-effective back
office support to driving the digital transformation agenda ahead in global companies.
Increasingly, leaders of more than a thousand global enterprises across the U.S., Europe, and
other locations have realized India’s potential and have set up their own IT or R&D centre’s to
take advantage of the vibrant Indian software ecosystem.
The current wave of Indian software entrepreneurs is focusing on building platforms and
products for Indian and global markets. This has led to the creation of more than 7,000 tech start-
up’s in India. India is already home to 18 unicorns (start-ups valued in excess of US$1 billion),
and another 10 are expected to be added by the end of 2020.
The Indian software industry has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies in the country.
The industry has played a crucial role in providing digital identities to over one billion people in
the country, which is further enabling the provision of services across industries such as banking,
healthcare, and education in an efficient manner. The next generation of Indian software
companies is helping millions of small and medium businesses (SMBs) and individual workers
such as cab drivers and delivery personnel move into the formal economy.
12
Growth of the Software Industry in India
For the purpose of discussion, the growth and evolution of the industry can be viewed in Three
broad phases-
For the two decades in this period, the software sector was largely composed of firms.
Looking to provide software services to global clients. The focus was on exports, and most
companies viewed themselves as software exporters. The companies started solving Y2K issues
for their customers and further extended their offerings to help companies manage their legacy
portfolio of applications and infrastructure. The first wave of the global Internet and dot-com era
created intercontinental Internet infrastructure. Indian companies were able to leverage this
infrastructure to deliver software development-related services to global enterprises remotely.
Realising the potential and the availability of talent, some multinational corporations
established their own offshore development centers in India. Companies involved in the software
aspects of hardware for example, design of tools or VLSI (very large-scale integration)/system
design also took root, diversifying their services portfolio .
Circa 2000-2010: The rise of Indian software multinationals and R&D centers.
With experience in dealing with complex IT systems and confidence in working with
international customers, several companies become multinationals with offices and centers
across countries. They offered a wider range of services like executing large and complex
projects involving integration, complete end-to-end solutions including management of IT
infrastructure, running the services, providing IT strategy, and other related services.
To date, 1,250 companies from around the world have set up their own centers in India across
almost all key industry verticals. Software/Internet, telecom, semiconductor, automotive, and
industrial are the top industries present, with R&D being a strong focal point. Enterprises across
industries such as banking, retail, and healthcare also started driving digital engineering work
from their India development centers
13
Over 400,000 engineers work in global R&D centers in India. Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad,
National Capital Region (Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon), and Chennai are key locations for such
centers, amplifying the possibility of ecosystem wide learning, relearning, innovation, and
partnership.
The Indian software ecosystem has now evolved into an extremely dynamic and varied
sector that is building and managing the most complex IT systems for global enterprises. The
combination of available talent, lower rates of brain drain to the U.S., the presence of large
technology companies’ R&D centers, and the presence of global venture capitalists has helped
accelerate the growth of the start-up ecosystem. India, today, has over 7,000 start-ups (started
less than five years ago), and over 1,200 technology start-ups were established in just the last
year.
There are largely two types of technology start-ups. The first are consumer-led and largely
focused on the India market. Initially these were replicas of U.S. companies, but Soon morphed
with unique innovations for the India market. The second set of start-up’s are focused on serving
the U.S. and European markets.
In the last few years, 18 start-ups touched US$1 billion in market capitalization. Walmart bought
India’s largest e-commerce company, Flipkart, which is only about 11 years old, at a valuation of
US$21 billion. OYO Rooms, a technology-enabled franchise model hotel chain, was started by a
20-year-old, and now has the largest number of rooms under management in India, overtaking
both traditional Indian and global hotel chains.
Start-ups are driving innovation at an accelerated pace. To maintain the warp speed of
innovation, large companies are building partnerships with the start-ups and are actively looking
at acquisitions, both for talent and intellectual property.
14
Impact of IT Industry on India
Growth in exports: In terms of revenue and foreign exchange, this sector has transformed India’s
finances, and is effectively financing a large share of imports. The sector is currently the largest
forex earner from exports and accounts for over 25% of the country’s total exports. The sector is
already contributing over 7.9% to India’s GDP.
Capability development and employment creation : No other industry segment has generated as
many jobs for the middle class. The sector directly employs over four million people and
indirectly supports an additional 12 million jobs. The industry was also a major trigger for the
government to push for an increase in output of engineering colleges to over 700,000 graduates a
year.
Companies have also set up processes to hire, train, and engage thousands of employees. In fact,
Indian IT services companies spend over US$1.6 billion a year on employee training. Large
technology companies have set up campuses exclusively focused on training their employees on
skills relevant to their global customers. Over 500,000 engineers in India are already equipped
with relevant digital skills to drive digital transformation.
The extensive engineering education system and the deployed talent pool in the IT industry are
also helping improve the digital capabilities of Indian enterprises. The technical and managerial
talent from IT companies have moved to Indian enterprises to help them accelerate their digital
transformation initiatives.
Female empowerment : industry has been supportive of women in the workforce, an aspect
where India has traditionally lagged. Some 30% of the IT sector workforce is women employees
and this has been a trend since the early stages of its development. The sector has not only
helped empower women but has also provided them with highly aspirational career options.
15
Start-up ecosystem: The start-up ecosystem in India attracted over US$10 billion in investments
from venture capitalists from across the world between 2016 and 2018. US$6 billion has already
been invested in Indian start-ups by SoftBank out of its US$100 billion Vision Fund.
Start-ups such as Flipkart, Ola, and Swiggy have helped create or digitally enable millions of
jobs such as cab drivers and e-commerce/food delivery professionals. Start-ups such as
Power2SME and Capital Float are offering innovative financial services for SMBs, including
“flow-based lending;” a lending model that provides credit to SMBs based on an analysis of their
financial transactions, thereby improving SMBs’ ability to invest and grow their businesses.
Digital infrastructure: thin a span of about a decade, Indian IT companies have taken several
services being provided to citizens and corporations and moved them online. Most of these
systems have been developed by indigenous IT companies, and many are also maintained and
managed by them. Examples include the Ministry of Corporate Affairs system for corporate tax
filing, the income tax management system, including e-filing of tax returns, the entire India
Stack digital infrastructure, the Goods and Services Tax system, the passport system, the Indian
rail reservation system (that books over 200 million tickets annually), the Aadhaar unique
identification infrastructure the largest in the world (whose chief conceptualizer and first CEO,
NandanNilekani, is a product of the IT industry), and others.
Until the 1980s, India was perceived as a poor country that needed support from more
developed nations. Today, this view has changed, and India now has a seat at the global table.
The world is aware of India’s technology prowess and is actively looking to make investments,
form partnerships, and tap India’s bustling technology ecosystem. Frequent foreign travellers can
attest to the fact that the quality of interaction with local people has evolved dramatically over
the last quarter century due to the IT industry’s widespread impact.
Global Impact: Rising from a position where it was almost impossible for a poor and
impoverished country like India to create capabilities around software technology, India has
emerged as a software powerhouse serving the world. The IT sector has helped global
corporations optimize their cost, improve quality, create jobs and capabilities worldwide, and
drive global business models and technology innovations.
16
Cost optimization and quality. India’s high quality and relatively lower cost engineering, IT, and
BPM talent has helped corporations gain huge cost savings that have allowed them to increase
their shareholder returns and invest in growth and transformational initiatives. Assuming a cost
difference of over 50% between developed locations and India, the Indian IT industry has helped
global enterprises save over US$500 billion in the last five years alone.
It was important for the Indian IT companies to ensure that they could deliver high quality
software. In fact, they were among the first to adopt the software development process standard
called Capability Maturity Model (CMM), launched by the Software Engineering Institute at
Carnegie Mellon University in 1987. By 1998, half of all global companies assessed at CMM
level 4 or 5 were from India. Companies from across the world, and even countries wanting to
develop their own IT sectors, turned to India’s experience of rigorous software development
process and the use of quantitative techniques to manage them. Indian companies shared what
they learned at software-related conferences, workshops, seminars, and so forth. Delegations
from various countries visited India to learn from its experiences, and case studies were also
developed. There were books like CMM in Practice (Addison-Wesley, 2000), and Software
Project Management in Practice, (Addison-Wesley, 2002), which were translated into other
languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and French.
The Indian IT sector is in a unique position to lead global technology innovations over the
next decade .
17
Global delivery model: riding on its CMM capabilities, Indian IT companies have pioneered the
global delivery model where distributed teams can seamlessly work together to deliver complex
software projects.
The global delivery model innovation has quickly become an industry best practice among all
global IT services companies as well as enterprises. Large enterprises have anchored on the
global delivery model to set up their own IT and R&D centers in India to drive IT and product
innovation. Today, over 500 global companies have their second largest development centers
based in India. Not just American and European countries, but also companies from Asian
locations including China, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan have established a presence in
India. Companies such as IBM and Accenture have increased their headcounts to around 100,000
in India, due to their ability to use a global delivery model to execute complex projects for
customers.
Global innovation and digital transformation: Large global companies have realized the
capability of Indian talent and started focusing on driving core innovation from the country. In
fact, several companies have started filing global patents for ideas that were conceptualized and
productized from their India centers. Between 2015 and 2018, more than 4,300 patents were filed
by India-based companies/offices in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Companies have also
expanded the roles at their India centers to include product management, customer success, sales,
and marketing. Some companies, including Cisco and Samsung, consider their India centers as
second headquarters. Also, India is rapidly rising as a hub of global Centers of Excellence
(COEs) for modern technologies such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, Internet of
Things, robotic process automation, and others.
18
The Indian software industry was quick to realize the changing needs of customers and started
supporting global digital transformation initiatives of several legacy companies in the retail,
manufacturing, energy, and utilities industries.
The large Indian IT companies are now multinationals in their own right. Top companies operate
in over 50 countries, where they have substantial offices. Many have significant development
centers in other regions like the United States, Mexico, China, Europe, and Australia, employing
thousands of software engineers and managers.
The Indian IT services industry is estimated to employ a total of 40,000+ locals in the United
States alone. Additionally, the industry is also exporting its massive talent training infrastructure
to global locations. Tata Consultancy Services has set up a training hub in Cincinnati and is
creating a pipeline of graduates coming out of U.S. universities.
▪ Code written by Indians is present in almost all systems with software, including cars,
consumer electronics, enterprise software solutions, industrial products, banking systems,
and more;
▪ Indian designers are involved in most chip and system designs by major multinationals;
▪ Indian IT firms have development centers in over 80 countries around the world; and
▪ Over 1,000 companies develop global products from their centers in India.
19
Key Lessons:
Observing the growth and impact of the Indian IT industry provides a set of valuable lessons that
can be replicated for the development of other industries in India and other countries.
Shilling and development. Focus on skills and talent development has been instrumental in the
growth of the IT industry. Even in their early stages, IT companies spent significant time and
money developing the skills of their employees ahead of time. This helped companies rapidly
address the changing technology needs of their global customers.
Process orientation. The heightened focus on process orientation in the Indian software industry
has undoubtedly contributed to its meteoric growth and has also enhanced the perception of the
industry globally. A strong process and continuous improvement focus is a catalyst for both
quality and productivity.
Industry collaboration. One key factor in the success of the Indian IT sector has been its ability
to bring companies together to develop an industry. The sector has created a huge collaboration
ecosystem in the form of an industry body NASSCOM. The association has helped develop best
practices that get disseminated to companies across the sector.
Scale and entrepreneurship. Widespread industry effort to promote, cultivate, and celebrate
entrepreneurship has created an ecosystem for entrepreneurs to conceptualize, fund, and scale IT
companies. The first generation of entrepreneurs focused on building and scaling IT services
companies, while the second was focusing on building IT products and IP-led services
companies.
20
The Way Forward
The Indian IT sector is in a unique position to lead global technology innovations over the next
decade.
India’s per capita income is expected to cross US$3,500 by 2025 from the current US$2,000.
This will increase discretionary spending by the population, creating a huge consumer market,
potentially triggering the next wave of digital entrepreneurs building India-focused technology.
Venture capital activities will increase due to massive domestic opportunities and the ability of
Indian start-ups to build global products. The availability of capital will catalyse the creation of
many companies with valuation in excess of US$1 billion across India.
Further, second- and third-tier locations will join India’s software ecosystem due to the strong
mobility network, education, and digital infrastructure built over the last decade. Global
companies, Indian IT companies, and start-ups will leverage these cities to drive innovation.
Over the last three decades, India has risen as a technology and software trailblazer, and with
concerted efforts by the entire ecosystem including Indian IT companies .

THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
30
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
RECRUITMENT:-
The process of finding and hiring the best-qualified candidate (from within or outside of an
organization) for a job opening, in a timely and cost effective manner. The recruitment process
includes analyzing the requirements of a job, attracting employees to that job, screening and
selecting applicants, hiring, and integrating the new employee to the organization
IMPORTANCE OF RECRUITMENT
● recruitment is the process which links the employers with the employees.
● Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.
● increase the success rate of the selection process by decreasing the number of visibly
Under qualified or overqualified job applicants.
● Help reduce the probability that job applicants once recruited and selected will Leave
the organization only after a short period of time.
● Attract and encourage more and more candidates to apply in the organization.
● Create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates of the
Organization.
● Determine present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its
personnel planning and job analysis activities
● Using a recruitment agency will shorten the time it takes to fill your open positions. A
recruitment agency can find candidates much faster than you can.
31
ADVANTAGES OF RECRUITMENT
Recruitment process outsourcing(RPO) is still new for a lot of companies. Some may not realize
that there are options in how to outsource or to improve their recruiting process, while others
may stick with other solutions because that’s the way it’s always done and that’s the way the
boss likes to do things. However, if you’re serious about RPO and really want to know what it
could do for your organization, then here are the six awesome benefits of RPO.
This is one of the top reasons why organizations choose an RPO solution, and it’s also one of the
biggest benefits of RPO. Many companies spend a lot of money on head hunters and job boards,
or waste a lot of money through high turnover rates. With other companies, time is simply
wasted in lengthy hiring processes or outdated (or a lack of) technology. An RPO provider can
reduce recruiting costs by streamlining your recruiting process and showing you how to find
good candidates better and with less time and money .
Christmas season is here, and many employers during this time go through a hiring spree for
seasonal employees. If that’s you, then an awesome benefit of RPO is having a recruiting process
in place that can scale up for the Christmas season, and then scale back down at the beginning of
the next year. RPO is also great for companies that are growing rapidly, that may need extra help
in scaling their recruiting capacity to meet growth.
Candidates don’t like it if they don’t know where they stand in the recruiting process, or if they
don’t know what’s happening or what’s supposed to happen next. This problem could also
plague companies who have multiple entities or multiple departments, where each one could
have their own hiring process. RPO can help get everything together and make the recruit-to-hire
process consistent and predictable for both parties and across the entire organization

Hiring managers know that a great candidate is much more than a combination of experience and
education, but also includes personality and previous accomplishments. Hiring managers who
are pressed for time to fill a position, or have a ton of candidates to go through, may not
necessarily take a look at the qualities that determine whether or not the new hire will stick with
the position. An RPO solution can get into those qualities while still looking for candidates who
have the needed experience and education.
The increased hiring manager satisfaction comes from many aspects of RPO. Hiring managers
now have better ways to assess the success of their efforts. Hiring managers now have more
support from executives in the recruiting process. Hiring managers now aren't stretched so thin
and are better able to do their jobs. With the help and partnership of an RPO provider, hiring
managers will be more satisfied with what's accomplished and how candidates are recruited and
brought into the company.
The employment brand is essentially the identity of the company as an employer, and when
every other aspect of the recruiting process is in place and doing well, the employment brand
improves. If your candidate quality improves, that only looks good to other potential candidates
for your organization. If your hiring managers are satisfied and are working in a consistent
recruit-to-hire process, then people who go through that process will only have good things to
say about it and your company as an employer. Overall, RPO helps the company in many more
ways than just cutting

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:
Broadly, there are two main sources of Recruitment-
34
1. Internal sources of recruitment which means recruitment from within the
organization
Transfer: it means shifting of employees from one job to another. There is no drastic
change in the pay or status of the employees; it generally remains the same.
Promotion: it means shifting the employee to a higher position with the change in pay
or status.
Lent services: it means employing the person for a newly started plant in the
Organization.
Absorption of trainees: those who come in the organization for training employing
them.
II. Casual callers: the good organizations have a list of casual callers also who apply to
them and the organization instead of giving new advertisements give a call to these casual
callers.
III. Employment exchange: it is a good source of recruitment where the candidates are
Called with the help of employment exchange.
35
IV. Educational institutions: here the company’s go to the educational institutions from
where they select the suitable employees for the job.
V. Labour union: the organization may select the candidate from the labor union of the
company to satisfy the labourers also.
VII. Waiting lists: generally the organization prepares the waiting lists of the employees.
Sometimes the selected candidates failed to join in that case the waiting list employees
are called.
Thus the above said are the main sources of recruitment of the employee’s within the
organisation and outside the organisation which are used by the organisation to employ the
employees

PROCESS OF RECRUITMENT:-
37
SELECTION
The process of interviewing and evaluating candidates for a specific job and selecting an
individual for employment based on certain criteria. Employee selection can range from a very
simple process to a very complicated process depending on the firm hiring and the position.

selection.
IMPORTANCE OF SELECTION
Recruitment attracts many applicants to a particular job, which may prove difficult to manage,
but selection reduces applicants to a manageable number. Candidates who have applied for a job
during the recruitment stage are screened in the selection stage. Those who prove suitable for the
job are selected, and unsuitable ones are rejected.
Assess Behaviour
Appropriate selection procedures applied in the recruitment process ensure that only the most
qualified individual is chosen to fill a vacancy. Recruited employees who are satisfied with their
jobs lead to a low employee turnover rate. Employee retention is important to an organization, as
the costs of hiring and training new employees are very high
38
The Time Dimension
A good selection procedure saves time in the recruitment and orientation processes because the
applicant is expected to have been introduced to some aspects of the organizational culture, such
as the dress code. No time is wasted trying to inculcate the new recruit with various aspects of
the organization’s culture and norms. The employee is given an adequate picture of what the new
job entails, thus eliminating wasting time doing unnecessary chores that are not part of his job
description.
