CONCLUSION
◦ RECRUITMENT and SELECTION are very meticulous processes and require
expertise to perform them. Nowadays IT organizations face competition from
rapidly changing environment & have to tap upon the best possible work force
available in the market in least cost possible, and to perform this task , they
practice a detailed recruitment and selection process
◦ IT sector organizations face significant challenges in RECRUITMENT and
SELECTION . Many report that they are only somewhat adequately staffed and
an increasing number report that they are grossly understaffed in critical areas.
◦ HR professionals’ training and expertise must be utilized to the fullest extent in
order to address these challenges.
