THE INFLUENCE OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 THE INFLUENCE OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE


Recruiting is the process of finding and hiring people with the organization’s needs. Selection is the part of the hiring process that determines which applicants or candidates should be appointed to the job(ARMSTRONG, 2014). Recruitment is the process of finding and catching qualified or suitable applicants to fill vacancies (Pshdar Abdalla Hamza, 2021). According to  (Gamage, 2014) The main purpose of recruitment is to create a pool of suitably qualified candidates so that the best candidates for the organization can be selected by attracting more and more employees to apply to the organization.

Employee recruitment and selection have been greatly affected by the emergence of technology (Nikolaou, 2021). According to (Nikolaou, 2021) Recruitment should also be aligned with the strategic goals of the organization. Therefore, especially today, it should include all technology-related activities that influence the hiring and selection cycle, such as employer branding and candidate experience. The link between environmental management and human resource management, stressed the importance of green human resource management practices to attract and develop qualified staff and enhance green capacity (Do Dieu Thu Pham, 2019).

Human resources(HR) are the organization's most important asset because they are what drive all other resources. Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) performance relates to the recruitment and selection landscape in SMEs. The better the impact of recruitment and selection, the better SMEs perform (Rev. Dr. Jonathan W. Omolo, 2012).

Human resources must be professionally managed to achieve stability between employee needs and agency or company demands and capabilities (Rizkia Laila Fitri, 2021). The ability of an agency or company to reach its goals is greatly influenced by the performance of its employees. Recruitment selection and placement impact employee performance  (Rizkia Laila Fitri, 2021).It was also found that complex recruitment and selection procedures were positively related to labor productivity (Gamage, 2014).

The object of the enterprise is highly dependent on the quality of the human resources. to obtain such resources, every company should have proper recruitment and selection of employees based on the main activities of the company (Sarinah, 2016). The author further mentioned that placing appropriate employees and appropriately is one of the keys to achieving the optimum performance of every employee.

I work for a group company of one of the leading commercial bank in Sri Lanka. The early head of the organization followed traditional recruitment methods. Also, The company had not well-established HR policies. He relies on the recommendations given by the applicant’s known parties. On many occasions, replacements failed and bad impact on the company’s growth. Later board of Directors decided to establish HR policies in line with its parent company and all the recruitments were done according to their system. The resulting recent replacements were in accordance with achieving company goals.   

According to (A Hadi Arifin, 2020)HR is a highly skilled workforce that is believed to support employee performance and contribute to a variety of organizational programs. Also, Recruitment, competence, and career development functions can move along with their performance activities to achieve superior performance results. The available data revealed a positive relationship between recruitment and selection and performance (Joy O. Ekwoaba, 2015).

 (Joy O. Ekwoaba, 2015) noted that today there are many methods used in selection and hiring, among which there are methods that are not universally recognized by experts or are not recommended for the recruitment process. Methods of recruitment according to (Celina Sołek-Borowska, 2018) are Attracting Applications, Application Placement, Video Recruitment, Communication with successful candidates, and Formal employment of candidates.

  1. Agreed. Every successful firm must go through the recruitment and selection process since having the proper employees enhances and sustains organizational performance. Any organization's objective is to have their selection system have a positive impact on bottom-line business outcomes like productivity and financial performance. The primary role of the human resources department in the operations of any organization is recruiting and selection, and the recruitment process is the first step in building an organization's competitive strength. (Sunday, et al., 2015).

  3. Agree, further, Gamage (2014) states that productivity, product quality, Innovation, and Customer Satisfaction are key indicators of operational performance of an organization. For a company to be innovative, creativity of the employees makes a huge impact. Creativity is to look into a situation or problem from a new angle & come up with a new solution or plan. Klepić, Mabić & Madžar (2020) states that, creativity and knowledge are the main challenges of modern business. Hence, companies should be looking for people with more brain power & creativity rather than hiring workers at a cheap cost.

    1. Agreed,(Joy O. Ekwoaba, 2015)Selection practices will determine who gets hired. If properly designed, it will identify competent candidates and match them accurately to the job function. Using the right selection device will increase the likelihood of choosing the right person to fill the void.

  5. Great approach Upul. Furthermore, the processes of recruiting employees in any organization are very dynamic and sensitive (Bate et al., 2000). Potential employees need to be handled and managed with care in order not to impact their labour rights, the policy and procedures for selection of the company and also laws governing employment relations. Instances of where interviews have led to bad selections and appointments abound, and these are reflected in the numbers of the recruitment processes being challenged in courts by the aggrieved applicants (Proctor et al., 2008).

  6. I agree with your content and The approach of performance management vindicates the organization’s effectiveness (Cardy, 2004). This umbrella term highlights how work is accomplished, citing the “Achilles Heel” of managing human capital (Pulakos, 2009), concentrating the top priority of managers (Lowel,2009). Moreover, performance management encircles all organizational strategies, and practices and strengthens the organization’s HR architecture pillar to deliver desired performance.

  7. Good Post Samantha, The recruitment process is a systematic process that involves gathering candidates, organizing and conducting interviews, and it takes a lot of time and money. Job analysis refers to the techniques and processes used to learn more about jobs. Recruitment primarily comes from two sources: internally and externally (Gardi et al. 2020).
