The document discusses recruitment and selection processes. It defines recruitment as generating a pool of job applicants, while selection is the process of choosing candidates most likely to succeed. The summary discusses the key aspects of both processes:
Recruitment involves attracting qualified candidates through sources like job boards, websites, agencies or referrals. The goals are to attract suitable applicants and encourage unsuitable ones to self-select out. Selection methods evaluate candidates, and commonly include testing, interviews and reference checks to select the best candidates based on criteria like skills, experience and personality. The difference between recruitment and selection is that recruitment creates a talent pool, while selection evaluates candidates and results in a job offer.
