Recruitment & Selection is defined as?

• A. A method for forecasting sales.
• B. A strategy for employee onboarding only.
• C. A process for identifying, pursuing, and hiring qualified candidates to fill current and future positions.
• D. A process for evaluating employee performance.

Answer: (C)

Recruitment and selection is the process of identifying, pursuing, and hiring qualified candidates to fill current and future positions. It starts with understanding what the organization needs and sourcing potential candidates (recruitment), followed by evaluating and choosing the best fit through screening, interviewing, testing, and reference checks (selection). This approach not only fills today’s openings but also builds a talent pipeline to meet future needs and support long-term goals. The other options miss important parts: forecasting sales isn’t about hiring people, onboarding is only the initial integration after someone is chosen, and evaluating performance deals with current employees rather than bringing new ones in.
