Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment within an organization. It begins with identifying job vacancies and ends when applications are submitted, creating a pool of candidates for selection. Selection involves screening candidates to identify the most suitable person for the job. Key aspects of recruitment include advertising positions, managing responses, shortlisting, and conducting interviews. Selection evaluates candidates using tools like written tests, interviews, and reference checks to make hiring decisions. The two processes are related but distinct, with recruitment attracting applicants and selection differentiating between them to fill positions with optimal candidates.
