Employee Selection is the process of putting right

people on right job. It is a procedure of matching
organizational requirements with the skills and
qualifications of people. Effective selection can be done
only when there is effective matching. By selecting best
candidate for the required job, the organization will get
quality performance of employees. Moreover,
organization will face less of absenteeism and employee
turnover problems. By selecting right candidate for the
required job, organization will also save time and
money. Proper screening of candidates takes place
during selection procedure. All the potential candidates
who apply for the given job are tested.

But selection must be differentiated from

recruitment, though these are two phases of
employment process. Recruitment is considered
to be a positive process as it motivates more of
candidates to apply for the job. It creates a pool
of applicants. It is just sourcing of data. While
selection is a negative process as the
inappropriate candidates are rejected here.
Recruitment precedes selection in staffing
process. Selection involves choosing the best
candidate with best abilities, skills and
knowledge for the required job.
