Factors Affecting Recruitment & Selection

| Figure 1. Factors affecting Recruitment & Selection |
Defining the recruitment and selection process in HRM, the selection part of the process includes screening interviewing, shortlisting and selecting the best person for the job. Each part of the process is drastically different. Recruitment attempts to get a large pool of candidates to apply for the job, so you have sufficient number of applicants to choose from, but selection aims to sift through this pool to find one person who is the best fit from all the applicants. (Jill Harness, 2019).
The factors affecting recruitment and selection are organized into the internal and the external categories.
