ABSTRACT

Recruitment is defined as a process of seeking and attracting suitable candidates from within the organization or from outside the organization for job vacancies that exist. ‘Suitable candidates’ means those who possess the required characteristics that will enable them to perform satisfactorily in the specific job.

nature and number of job vacancies are. This information comes from human resource planning and job analysis. In recruitment planning that information is used to decide on the number and characteristics of potential candidates that need to be attracted. Organizations try to recruit more candidates than the number they wish to employ. Some candidates will most probably be overqualified for the specific positions, while some might not really be interested in obtaining a position.
