Recruitment refers to the process of identifying, attracting, interviewing, selecting, hiring and onboarding employees. In other words, it involves everything from the identification of a staffing need to filling it. Depending on the size of an organization, recruitment is the responsibility of a range of workers

Depending on the size of an organization, recruitment is the responsibility of a range of workers. Larger organizations may have entire teams of recruiters, while others only a single recruiter. In small outfits, the hiring manager may be responsible for recruiting. In addition, many organizations outsource recruiting to outside firms. Companies almost always recruit candidates for new positions via advertisements, job boards, social media sites, and others. Many companies utilize recruiting software to more effectively and efficiently source top candidates. Regardless, recruitment typically works in conjunction with, or as a part of Human Resources.

Recruitment in HRM is a systematic process for Hiring Talent.  It starts from identifying, attracting, screening, shortlisting interviewing, selecting, and finally hiring the most potential candidate for filling up the vacant job vacancies in an organization.

In any business organization, employees are always considered to be their biggest asset and People Management is the most important function managed by their HRM Department. The primary job of the Human Resource Management (HRM) Team is to keep building the pool of Human Capital for the organization which can result in the selection of the right candidate for the right job. Recruitment aims for choosing and hiring the right person for the right job at the right time. The Human Resource Management Department often considers two major sources of recruitment namely internal and external sources of recruitment. The purpose of the recruitment process is to gather information about the talented and qualified individuals who might be interested to work for the organization in an effective way.
