Recruitment
is a 'linking function' - joining together those with jobs to fill and thoseseeking jobs. It is a 'joining process' in that it tries to bring together job seekers andemployer with a view to encourage the former to apply for a job with the latter.The basic purpose of recruiting is to develop a group of potentially qualified people. To this end, theorganization must communicate the position in such a way that job seekers respond. To be costeffective, the recruitment process should attract qualified applicants and provide enough informationfor unqualified persons to self-select themselves out.
