Background

Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the activities that influence most critically the performance of an organisation.

While it is understood that poor recruitment affects organisational performance and limits goal achievements, it is crucial to identify and implement adequate hiring strategies.

This paper defines the recruitment process and compares strategies that organisations apply to ensure the best choice of qualified applicants.

Finally it will describe international recruitment trends and will define the importance of employee appraisal and development after the recruitment process.
