INTRODUCTION
Human resource management is the essential function of organizations. Among the HR
practises recruitment is the basic function where employees are entry into the organizations.
Recruitment is the process of searching prospective employees to apply for the job posting in
the sai yarntex private limited. Selection is the process of choosing an appropriate candidate
among the job applicants. Selection process starts after the completion of the recruitment
process. Recruitment is the positive aspect where as selection is the negative aspect of HR
practises. Many of the researchers say that recruitment and selection policies should be
ethical for the organizations in order to sustain in the competitive environment.

recruitment process differs from one organization to others. According to Edwin B. Flippo
recruitment is the process of attracting the candidates and making them to apply for the job.
Recruitment process followed at many Indian organizations is by framing the recruitment
policy and then making the policy into action. Sources of the traditional recruitment are by
employee referrals, transfers and promotions, walk-in and by the advertisements. In the
modern economy the recruitment process was drastically changed with the entry of social
media. Many organizations are following the online recruiting methods for attracting the
prospective employees but in the sai global yarntex private limited only the traditional
recruitment methods were followed. There are many factors that affect recruitment process
like organization culture, working hours, facilities, salary, welfare, brand image, good will,
location and etc.
Selection is the second step in the in the process of man power planning. Selection is the
process of choosing the appropriate candidate which matches the candidate skills and the job
requirements (Bhattacharyya, 2010). Selection process will be lengthy for large organizations
and will be wider for manufacturing organizations and it differs from one industry to other
(Venkatesh, 2008). As this a manufacturing organization its process will be wider in
departments and activities. According to the Dale Yoder selection means dividing the total
job applicants into two classes as selected and not selected (K.Aswathapa, 2007). The
selection process followed at sai global yarntex private limited is like the selection procedure
of scientific selection procedure. There are many factors that are to be considered while
selecting a candidate those are like group discussions, employment background, referral
background, interviews, medical tests and etc.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
According to the Burack (1985) recruitment sources are closely linked to the organizational
activities as performance of employees, employee turnover, employee satisfaction, employee
wishes and the commitment of the organization (Burack, 1980). These recruitment and
selection process should be done at each and every sector for fulfilling their organizational
goals (Nartey, 2012). Recruitment and selection practises were important in the police
department as said by Michael D. White and Glipsy Escobar (2008) in the world and this
paper shows the importance of seven issues relating to recruitment, selection and training
practises in the organizations (M.N.Malhotra, 2014) (Terpstra.D, 1996). Mohammed Nurul
Absar (2012) says the importance of recruitment and selection in his paper by considering
both public and private manufacturing firms in Bangladesh (M.M.Absar, 2012). Some of the
research professionals and scholars say that there is a close linkage between the recruitment
selection employee satisfaction organization performance and HR practises (Gorter, 1996). In
his paper Recruitment and Selection of public workers: An international compendium of
modern trends and practises say that the importance of using technology in the recruitment
and selection process for updating the organizational resources (Hays, 2004).
Ongori Henry and Temtime Z (2009) say that in their paper the recruitment and selection
practises of the small and medium enterprises and make them to improve their HR practises
(R.D.Omolo, 2012). French says that the importance of certain selection and recruitment

that internal source of recruitment is effective compared to the external source (H.John,
2003). Decker & Cornelius say that compared to the traditional recruiting sources the modern
sources like referrals, casual applicants and direct approaches will benefit at large (L.Barclay,
1985) (Cappelli, 2001). Selection procedure also should be in application to the modern
techniques (M.Smith, 2001). The literature says that employers are doing the traditional
method of recruiting rather than the modern technologies (Schmidt, 1998). Chris Piotrowski
and Terry Armstrong say that in their article that around all the organizations are using
traditional recruitment sources and 30% of organizations are screening candidates honestly
(Armstrong, 2006). According to SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) says
that 15% joined in the organizations are placing false resume (Gusdorf, 2008). Some of the
employers select the candidates with discrimination was not supposed to be done in the
organizations (Fomunjong, 2009).
