hiring and onboarding qualified job candidates. Recruitment refers to the process of identifying, attracting,
interviewing, selecting, hiring and onboarding employees. In other words, it
involves everything from the identification of a staffing need to filling it.
Depending on the size of an organization, recruitment is the responsibility of a range of workers. Larger organizations may have entire teams of recruiters, while others only a single recruiter. In small outfits, the hiring manager may be responsible for recruiting. In addition, many organizations outsource recruiting to outside firms. Companies almost always recruit candidates for new positions via advertisements, job boards, social media sites, and others. Many companies utilize recruiting software to more effectively and efficiently source top candidates. Regardless, recruitment typically works in conjunction with, or as a part of Human Resources.

Selection is the process of assessing candidates' qualities, expertise
and experience to narrow down the pool of applicants until you're left with the
best person for the role. This process
usually involves conducting interviews and using various tests and assessments
to evaluate each candidate. The selection process can be described as the procedure of identifying and
shortlisting qualified people with the requisite qualifications and skill set
to fill vacancies in a company. The selection procedure differs from industry to industry, company to
firm, and even within the same organization's departments. Selection strategy in

selecting candidates for a job position. This process is done by analyzing the skills, experience,
and qualifications of a candidate. A systematic approach is designed to ensure
that the recruitment process is fair
