EVALUATING RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION STRATEGIES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract

Recruitment and selection play a crucial role in ensuring that organizations acquire talented and competent employees who can contribute to achieving organizational goals. Recruitment refers to the process of attracting potential candidates to apply for job vacancies, while selection involves evaluating and choosing the most suitable candidate from the pool of applicants. An effective recruitment and selection system helps organizations build a skilled workforce and maintain a competitive advantage in the dynamic business environment. This study examines the various methods and practices involved in recruitment and selection and their impact on organizational performance. It discusses different recruitment channels such as internal promotions, employee referrals, job portals, social media platforms, and recruitment agencies. The selection process includes stages such as application screening, written tests, interviews, and final selection based on merit and organizational requirements. The study also highlights the role of human resource management in designing fair and efficient hiring procedures. The findings indicate that organizations that adopt systematic recruitment strategies and objective selection techniques are more likely to hire qualified and motivated employees. A well-structured recruitment and selection process not only reduces hiring costs and employee turnover but also enhances employee satisfaction, productivity, and long-term organizational effectiveness
