Abstract

recruitment is the process of soliciting, screening, and selecting qualified people for a job at an organization or firm, and therefore the process by which organizations fulfill their human resource requirements. Small and Medium scale industries are relatively small enterprises employing far less manpower compared to large scale firms and usually concentrated on a specific area or region, tapping into the resources available in such areas.recruitment is one of the major Human Resource activities of an enterprise. An enterprise first determines the number of employees required to run its operations through a manpower planning exercise, and then lists out the skills and qualifications required for each of these employees through a Job Analysis. The Human Resource department then conducts the recruitment process wherein they sources candidates through various ways to fulfill such requirements. The short listing and eventual selection the appropriate candidates from the candidates sourced for the vacancies count as the selection process, which is a sub-set of the recruitment process. This process repeats itself whenever there are new vacancies on when an existing employee leaves.
