12.6 Summary

• Recruitment is the development and maintenance of adequate manpower sources. It involves
the creation of a pool of available human resources from which the organisation can draw
when it needs additional employees. Recruiting is the process of attracting applicants with
certain skills, abilities, and other personal characteristics to job vacancies in an organisation.
• The function of recruitment is to locate the sources of manpower to meet job requirements
and specification.
• The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified candidates
to meet organisational need. Its specific purposes are to:
• Determine the present and future requirements of the organisation in conjunction with the
personnel planning and job analysis activities.
• Increase the pool of job candidates with minimum cost.
• Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of
underqualified or overqualified job applicants.
• Dunn and Stephens follow a three-tier classification of recruitment method-direct, indirect
and third party.
• Direct Methods: The most frequently used direct method is at schools, colleges, management
institutes and university departments. Usually, this type of recruiting is performed in
educational institutions arranging interviews, and making available space and students’
resumes.
• Indirect Methods: The most frequently used indirect method or technique of recruitment is
advertisement in publications such as newspapers, magazines and trade journals as well as
technical and professional journals.
• Third-party Methods: The most frequently used third-party methods are public and private
employment agencies. Public employment exchanges have been largely concerned with
factory workers and clerical jobs.

education (B.Ed.) start their career as primary school teachers and gradually move up.
• Secondary and Senior Secondary Teacher the candidate must preferably have a post graduate
degree in the subject and a bachelors in education (B.Ed), degree. The B.Ed. course thoroughly
