For the growth or replenishment of talented workers in the modern workplace, effective recruitment and selection procedures that are sufficiently sophisticated and founded on the evidence of job competency and person-organization-job and team fit are essential (Lill and Coetzee, 2021).

There are two types of recruitment internal and external recruitment.
The case study has done for the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT's recruitment and selection practices' effects on organizational performance (AITI-KACE), The study used a sequential explanatory mixed method design with a sample of 39 respondents, Interviews, and focus groups were used to collect qualitative data for analysis, According to the study's findings, AITI-KACE has a policy on hiring and choosing employees that it largely abides by.

The writer is working at a reputed telecommunication network organization in Sri Lanka and the organization is mainly focused on recruiting employees in 3 main languages (Sinhala, English, and Tamil) known employees to fill the resource gap in order for an organization can save costs. As a network company, the organization is responsible to provide its service to all Sinhala, English, and Tamil customers, and the HR team is paying an additional Rs.1500 for the employees who can speak/write 3 languages and which is cost saving for the organization. it is a better option instead of recruiting 2 language known employees. Further, the organization will make sure to recruit all the main religions' (Sinhala, Tamil, and Muslim) employees as this organization is responsible to work 24/7 days. Then the company will be able to work every day even on special occasions.
In conclusion, when recruiting new staff to the company, the HR team should identify candidates’ academic qualifications and how candidates efficiently work in this kind of workplace. When individual skills are buildup, organizational skills will be automatically build-up. The contributions of each employee play a pivotal role in the sustenance and growth of a business. Hence it is extremely important to select the right person for the job.

Agreed.Recruitment and selection in an organization is a serious undertaking, as the success or efficiency of service delivery of an organization depends on the quality of the workforce recruited by the organization through recruitment and selection exercises. (Joy O. Ekwoaba, 2015).Recruitment of qualitative systems in recruitment and selection has helped the organization to grow, as it can acquire the right people for vacancies (Joy O. Ekwoaba, 2015).
ReplyDeleteHi Upul, Thank you for commenting and totally agreed with your point. The recruitment procedure seeks to deliver the best candidates with top-notch credentials and qualifications, The Human Resources Department values the recruitment process because it helps them avoid making a costly hiring error that might end up costing the company a lot of money, As a result, this procedure is among the most crucial ones for the management of human resources as well as for the business as a whole, Whereas, the selection process is the process that aims to select the best and most suitable donor for the job (Mohammad, 2020).
DeleteI agree with your content and I would like to add that According to (Wilson & Hawks, 2022) internal recruitment can be defined as the process of filling the vacancies within the organization by using the workforce or manpower which is currently available in the organization which may include employees from different job positions and roles and promote employees from the current department.
ReplyDeleteYes Joel, That is true, and thank you for highlighting the point. Internal recruitment may lead to a more efficient onboarding procedure, which will save time for both the employee and the business, A current employee could be allowed to start in a new position right away without having to give a longer notice period (Hume, 2021). However, internal hiring isn't ideal for every business or role, it can simplify the hiring process for a variety of reasons, According to one study, external recruits are 61% more likely to be fired and are paid 18% more than internal promotions, Internal recruitment can have certain drawbacks, though, so it's vital to examine the pros and negatives before making a decision (Hume, 2021).
DeleteBarney and Steven Elias (2010) found that with extrinsic motivation there exist a significant interaction between job stress, flex time, and country of residence. Leaders know that at the heart of every productive and successful business lies a thriving organizational culture and hardworking people collaborate passionately to produce great results (Gignac and Palmer 2011). In the body of literature, various frameworks are used by the researchers based on theory of motivation, with only few dimensions of motivation.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with you Nimesha, Further to adding, One of the key goals for the organization is to increase employee commitment at work, Employees that are not committed to the organization typically perform less than their best, according to the research, Organizational commitment is influenced by extrinsic motivation. The findings of this study have policymakers thinking about how to support employees while simultaneously enhancing their intrinsic drive through fair promotions, rewards, and a solid pay (Siregar, 2022).
