d) Recruitment agencies

The sources for names referred to above may be appropriate where jobs are at

lower levels or require mostly routine activities. Where the jobs require highly

specialised skills, of which there are not likely to be many available in the

market, the source would be placement agencies or social media. They usually

have names of highly qualified persons who are looking for better

opportunities, but do not want to make that known. Such persons will be

found in distant countries or working in organisations in very different

businesses

2. Selection

The candidates or applicants available after recruitment would satisfy the

calriteria or specifications made while inviting applications. It does not mean

that all of them are good for appointment. The specifications would be factors

verifiable on paper viz. qualification (graduation marks obtained), age, past

experience, etc. None of these are determinants of suitability for appointment.

a) Educational qualification vs knowledge and skill

b) Attitudes, aptitudes and behavioural characteristics
