Recruitment and selection is the process by which organizations find and hire new employees. It involves identifying job vacancies, advertising positions, screening applicants, interviewing candidates, and selecting new employees. The recruitment process aims to attract qualified people to apply for jobs in order to create a large talent pool for selection. Factors like a company's recruitment policies, human resource planning, size, costs, growth, the labor market, image, laws, unemployment rates, and competitors all influence recruitment strategies. The goal is to hire the best candidates efficiently in a fair manner.
