Difference between
recruitment and selection has been described by Flippo as, “Recruitment is a
process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them
to apply for jobs in an organization. It is often termed positive as is stimulates
people to apply for jobs, selection on the other hand tends to be negative
because it rejects a good number of those who apply, leaving only the best to
be hired.” Recruitment and selection differs in following manner:
1. Difference
in Objective:
The
basic objective of recruitment is to attract maximum number of candidates so
that more options are available. The basic objective of selection is to choose
best out of the available candidates.
2. Difference
is Process:
Recruitment
adopts the process of creating application pool as large as possible and
therefore. It is known as positive process. Selection adopts the process
through which more and more candidates are rejected and fewer candidates are
selected or sometimes even not a single candidate is selected. Therefore, it is
known as negative process or rejection process.
3. Technical
Differences:
Recruitment
techniques are not very intensive, and not require high skills. As against
this, in selection process, highly specialized techniques are required.
Therefore, in the selection process, only personnel with specific skills like
expertise in using selection tests, conducting interviews, etc., are involved.
4. Difference
in Outcomes:
The outcome of
recruitment is application pool which becomes input for selection process. The
outcome of selection process is in the form of finalizing candidates who will
be offered jobs.
