more than a million people with various
leanings and inclinations, beliefs and practices,
spread over 3,600 agencies all over the country.

10. MODES OF RECRUITMENT AND
SELECTION AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Recruitment and selection is an important
issue within human resource management.
Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting a
pool of suitable candidates for the vacancy. In any
organization that views the human resource as a major
source of competitive advantage, attracting, selecting
and retaining the right people to the organization will
be of great importance. (Coyle-Shapiro, et.al, 2013)
11. The following methods can be done
by any organization or firm on
recruitment or selection:
• Application Form
• Biodata Inventories
• Job Previews
• Drug Screening
• Graphology
• Online Tests
• Curriculum Vitae or Résumé
• Interview and;
• Personality Tests
13. WHY COMPETENCY-BASED RECRUITMENT?
• Competencies serve as objective guide in the assessment of candidates;
hence it improves accuracy in assessing candidate’s fitness to a particular
job.
• Competency-based recruitment minimizes hiring errors as it helps prevent
interviewers and selectors from assessing interviewees on the basis of
characteristics that are not relevant to the job or from making hasty
decisions.
• Competency-based recruitment leads to a standardized or structured
selection process since the same metrics are used to assess all applicants to
the same position.
• Competency-based recruitment provides clarity for the recruiters and
candidates as well about the requirements for the vacant position to be filled.
