Recruitment & Selection
What we understand by that? Recruitment is a positive action, which results in receiving lots of application. But we are concerned and paid for selecting the right candidate from the whole bunch of applications that we receive. But when we talk about hiring or filling a position, we don`t refer to has selection process, rather it is referred to as recruitment process. For the very reason, that selection is the end result of recruitment. If we follow the process of recruitment thoroughly, then we are sure to achieve the end result of selecting the right candidate at the right time and at the right cost.
As I have been into recruitment for 7 years now, would like to share my knowledge and experience around it.
After completing my MBA (in HR), I tried hard enough to find a job in core HRM, but I was only getting called for recruitment jobs. I had no choice other than to take up the role of recruiter with Artech Information Systems (formerly known as Softek India Pvt. Ltd).
I am ashamed of my ignorance for failing to understand the fact that the recruitment is the very first step in HRM. But now I realize and I am thankful to God, to have made the right decision. As such, recruitment is the heart of HRM. Because if you don`t have anyone to fill the positions in your organization, for whom are you going to devise the policies, or train or manage compensation for?
And with recruitment, I got an opportunity to learn to interact with people with business sense, right from the candidates, hiring managers, technical managers, agencies, colleges and my own managers. This way it helped me to build up the foremost quality of HRM professionals of interpersonal and negotiating skills. And I am sure each one of you would agree that, though we may or may not be much familiar with concepts of HRM, if we can negotiate terms and have good interpersonal skills, we can get away with majority of issues. Also, just being a chatter box do
