Personal recruitment

An adequate personnel recruitment programme requires that the organization should anticipate vacancies as fast as possible in advance. Recruitment includes all prospective applicants for job position in the organization. A good recruitment programme is one that is properly planned and well operated. Poor recruitment efforts could led to poor selection of applicants because positions are to be filled quickly.

If a satisfactory recruitment effort is not made, a company may be forced to lower standards to accept marginal applicant. In some countries where certain high-level manpower such as engineers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, architects, e.t.c are in great demand, a proper recruitment effort must be made if these type of positions must be filled by qualified personnel.
