Recruitment is the process of searching for and identifying the prospective employees and encouraging them to apply for jobs in the enterprise. It is the process of discovering and attracting capable applicants for vacant jobs lying in an organisation. It involves seeking and attracting adequately qualified people from which suitable candidates can be selected. The basic purpose of recruitment is to create a pool of qualified persons from which selection may be made.
According to Dale Yoder, "Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient work force."
