Recruitment

Recruitment is a fundamental function of human resource management that involves identifying a company’s talent needs and finding the right people to fill those needs. It is a strategic process that goes beyond merely filling vacancies. Instead, it involves understanding the skills, qualifications, and cultural fit required for each role, and then sourcing, screening, and selecting candidates who meet these criteria.

Recruitment plays a crucial role in shaping the workforce of an organisation, contributing to its overall performance and success. It is the first step in building a strong employer-employee relationship, setting the tone for an employee’s experience with the company. Effective recruitment strategies can lead to higher job satisfaction, improved employee retention, and a more engaged and productive workforce.
