Hi all,
It is really wise to say that ‘ being a enterprise depends largely on the quality of manpower you have' Very often , recruitment misunderstood as filling in of vacancies. The real purpose of recruitment is not to fill up a vacancy but to add a person to the staff whom management expect to become important in the future scheme of things. Systematic recruitment should see that the person selected has:
willingness to do the job,
has the ability to do the job,
can fit into the work situation, and
has appropriate growth potentialities and also stays the organization for a fair period.
In the other words, recruitment is the pillar stone of the whole personal structure of any organization. For a lay man it is like picking persons for filling up jobs laying vacant in some office. Its function should be positive and dynamic to identify and attract the best available talent from the society. The management should must stress on manpower planning and must ask question to themselves that whether the recruitment is at all necessary, because recruitment means an additional employee and therefore an additional load. These two factors namely, an additional complement meaning, thereby more complex problems and additional financial liability must have fair justification on the basis of returns in terms of additional work load carried out and the capacity of the industry to meet the financial liabilities. If the answer to these two points is in the affirmative, then only recruitment could be said to be justified.
Many steps has to be taken while recruiting of a candidates.
Firstly, physical fitness as required by the job. This will impact directly the work for which candidates are to be taken. As level to level would differ from job to job. For example, high level fitness would be necessary for armed force or pilot, it would not necessary if the job related to software work or other clerical work.
Secondly, Mental suitability i.e. both by intelligence and education commensurate with the nature of the job. That means a person for the higher post of in the hierarchy of management will need higher level of intelligence and education while at lower level intelligence and education standards would not be demanding.
Thirdly, Sufficient experience to acquire skill and knowledge to do a job
(a) to satisfactory standards of quality and
(b) with necessary degree of safety.
This mean the necessary experience would differ from job to job
