Right person for the right job is the basic principle in recruitment and selection. Every organisation should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers.

The operative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly working of an enterprise. Every business organisation/unit needs manpower for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates are essential. Human resource management in an organisation will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and employment in a business unit.
