What is Recruitment ?
Human Resource Management, also called as HRM or HR as short form is the process that manage the peoples within the organization. HRM directly involve with the companies performances by recruiting right peoples to the right places at the right time. in this article I'm going to describe "what is recruitment ?'.As per the Sage " Recruitment is the process that actively seeking out, finding and hiring people for a specific position or job. The recruitment definition includes the entire hiring process. From inception to the individual recruit's integration in to the company". (Sage,2019)
According to the above statement, We as HRM, going to recruit candidate for a specific position or a job. May be Sales, Finance, Logistic or Procurement, but need to evaluate is that recruitment is must for the organization. Because hiring people is an investment for the company. If recruitment fail to perform it will be a lost for the company and other wise hiring new one is three time costly than existing employer. It take time most probably three months, need to set training and developments, may be challengeable remuneration, motivational programs and team building activities like outbound trainings, employee orientations etc... If the recruitment fail to perform, the cost will not be recovered to the company within the planed time frame .
Some leading organization practices routinized, strategically developed processes for their recruitments. Also they believe that mismatch candidates harm full for the companies performance as well as culture.
EX :- Energizer holdings, Fonterra brands, Siam city cements not to allow recruit DSR (Distributor Sales Representatives) for their sales force because the same companies believes that type of people will not match with company culture and they can't adopt speedy to the new systems which is implement by the company.
So, the recruitment process is very important and vital for a company. Companies following systematic process for recruiting candidates which we are discuss in future articles. Any way right recruitment at the right time for the right place gives nurture for the company well.

As a HR manager, recruitment process could be one of the most frustrating tasks among other HR activities. Mainly because this involves in several processes that the HR has no direct control over and acting upon the recruitment process without knowing the out come of the process; whether to recruited employee will thrive to do well or give up within a short period of time. Thus it is much important as a HR manager to invest more time and effort to find the right candidate/s during the recruitment process to have a successful sustainable recruitment. Good article !

ReplyDeleteRight person should be recruit to the right place. Since, most of the times we know maturity is based on favourations does it happen in the organizations specially in a country like srilanka?
ReplyDeleteyour argument right but up to some certain extend. Yup, recruitment for a post within the organization it can be happen. But external recruitment normally following the real methods. That's why some MNC organizations such as Unilever, Fontarra, Dialog Axiata etc...put condition like "Pre canvasing Couse to disqualify".
DeleteThen what about internal recruitment process. Anyhow Thanks for the clear answer.
DeleteNot only MNC organization's other organizations have same condition "Pre canvasing Couse to disqualify".But the thing is proper application instead of favourations here in SL
ReplyDeleteBy recruiting the right person, business will move in a positive direction and will become more successful in the future.
