CHAPTER ONE
1.1.BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Recruitment and selected fall within the traditional functions of personal management. The functions have to do with filling vacant positions within an organization structure. The guarantees the enterprises a continuous manpower to operate both in the present and in the future.
Most people see recruitment and selection as being synonymous with employment and such, there is no clear distinction between recruitment and selection. This is not true. Every organization begins by recruiting certain number of employees and the next step that comes is selection whereby some would be eliminated. After selection, those selected would now be placed on the job. It is this last stage that is known as placement.
Recruitment as a process starts from the manpower planning stage from where the human resources requirements of an organization are determined through job analysis, which in turn provides information that leads to the formation of personnel policies regarding quality. Recruitment however end at the stage where applications are received from the job applicants selection on the other hand, starts from the short-listing stage up to the time the applicants are offered employment. It is necessary of organizations to appreciate that recruitment, selection and placement constitute one of the most critical aspect of personnel function. It is the foundation on which the organization is built. If a proper foundation in times of recruiting capable employees is built, the organization would not fall in times of tremor but if the foundation was built with inadequate manpower, it would not even stand minor wind.
The greater problem that affects employment process in most organizations is at the selection stage where pressure along the lines of religion, family, state of origin, peer groups and ethnicity comes in. These pressures are brought to bear in the employment process and they constitute obstacles in the smooth running of an organization because in the process of satisfying these groups, mediocre could be employed.
One of the most common things many companies do it to keep openings a secret and reserve such vacant positions for family relations and close friends hereby reducing the pool of potential applicants that may apply. It is the ardent belief of this research that even when an enterprise advertises a post, the advertisement may just be a mere formality and that letter of applications might not be screened let alone to be considered because the enterprise had already programmed persons it wants to employ.
However, recruitment and selection procedure cannot be without some bottlenecks. The pitfalls associated with them are not likely to be resolved satisfactorily in this study. It is also the belief of this researcher that the views and recommendations in this work will help practitioners and co-students in this field to minimize these problems as they carryout recruitment and exercises in their individual organization or in their consultancy work
