personnel for filling up the requirements. The process of doing so is called

Recruitment and Selection.

a) Sources of recruitment

Organisations have specific policies about whether recruitments will be made

from outside the organisations or, through promotions or otherwise, from

within the organisation.

b) Reservations

There are reservations of jobs for certain categories of persons like weaker

sections, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, ex-servicemen, etc in the public

sector. Such reservations are not mandatory in the private sector. But there

are pressures that demand reservations in the private sector as well.

c) Recruitment through advertisements

Recruitment through advertisement in the press has the advantage that range

for selection becomes quite wide. There is a belief that public organisations

should not distribute jobs among acquaintances but should provide

opportunities to maximum number of job seekers, particularly in the context of

limited employment opportunities.
