    Recruitment and selection refers to the essential functions of human resource management. It is the process of searching for and obtaining potential candidates for an organization. Important to note is that the success of an organization depends on the efficiency of the recruitment and selection processes. This study examines the recruitment and selection process of an organization primarily focusing on how the two practices affect organizational development. Major questions answered are; what is the Difference between Recruitment and Selection, What is Recruitment, among others?
    Recruitment and selection is the process of procuring human resources into organizations. It can also be defined as the art of determining and obtaining potential employees for a vacant position in an organization. Recruitment and selection processes are the procedures taken into account by an organization to find suitable applicants to occupy a vacant position. During these processes, applicants get to interact with the organization through interviews, and later selection is carried out to pick one who is most suitable to work in an organization. It is worth noting that an organization’s success is largely dependent on an effective recruitment and selection process as they clearly affect the outcomes of an organization. Efficient employees are significant to an organization and they contribute largely to its success. Therefore the various stages involved in the recruitment and selection process must be critically considered when choosing employees for an organization. The key aspects of these processes are attraction and selection which are looked at in detail in the following sections of this study.
    There is a difference when it comes to these two processes for example; recruitment entails finding candidates for the vacant position whereas selection involves choosing the right candidate out of the applicants, recruitment is positive as it attracts whereas selection is negative because it rejects all the unfit candidates for the job, to mention but a few.
