Alternatives of Organizations to Recruitment

Even when the human resources planning indicate the need for the additional; work force, affirm should decide and consider the increasing size of its work force and the consequential or related expenses Houghton (1995); Noe (1996). Because, if once employees are placed on the payroll, it may be difficult to remove them, even if their performance is marginal. Therefore, affirm must consider its alternative in the recruitment processes (Dessler, 2002).

Recruitment and other Human Resource

Recall the statement earlier about the inter dependent nature of reputation of the organizations like decision regarding employee testing work policies and programs, compensation, benefits and corporate image all can have impact on recruitment ( Mondy, 1999 ).

These applicants should include both sex and various social groups. Such as minorities and disable groups. Especially for those larger organizations, recruitment is complex and continuing processes that demand extensive planning and effort (Mitiku, 2005).

General areas of evaluating recruitment are includes Quantity of applicants because the goal of good recruiting is to generate a large pool of applicants from which to choose quantity is natural place to begin evaluation. Equal employment opportunity goals the recruiting program is the key activity used to meet goals for hiring protected class individuals (Harris &Michacl, 1997).

Selection

When as recruitment encourages individuals seek employment with the firm, the purpose of selection is to identify and employ the best qualified individuals for specific position.

So that we can define selection as the process of choosing from a group of applicants of individuals those best suited for particular positions (Tyson, & Shoun,1996).

Nature of Selection

Data Presentation and Analysis

From the above out of 50 total respondents, 45%(27) are said working condition and the rest said relation with labor unions 26%(13) organizational climate 20%(10) and there is no respond who said all factors. Therefore from this data we can conclude that the most internal factor affect the organizational recruitment process is working condition and the manager expect to influence such condition.

Table 1 response on employee evaluation for internal recruitment.

From the data depicted on the above Table 1 out of 50 total respondents, 48%(24) and 52%(26) are said yes and no respectively. Which means that the majority of respondents said no that means there is no equal chance for both sex or male and female applicants, because the manager or the concerned body gives priority for females, friends and their relatives. Therefore the researcher can understand that such selection process is forbidden for the organizational performance.
