In today''s rapidly changing business environment, organisations have to respond quickly to requirements for people. Hence, it is important to have a well-defined recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to get the best fits for the vacant positions. Selecting the wrong candidate or rejecting the right candidate could turn out to be costly mistakes for the organisation. Selection is one area where the interference of external factors is minimal. Hence the human resources department can use its discretion in framing its selection policy and using various selection tools for the best results. These caselets discuss the importance of having an effective recruitment and selection policy. They discuss the importance of a good selection process that starts with gathering complete information about the applicant from his application form and ends with inducting the candidate into the organisation. These caselets are designed to enable students to: (1) understand the importance of having an effective recruitment and selection policy in an organisation; (2) understand the process involved in the recruitment and selection of the right candidates for the organisation; (3) understand the recent trends that have influenced the process of recruitment and selection in an organisation; and (4) discuss the various challenges faced by organisations in the process of recruiting and selecting employees. The caselets are targeted at undergraduate and postgraduate students and are intended to be part of the human resources management curriculum.
