EFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION AS A TOOL FOR ACHIEVING HIGHER EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY IN AN ORGANIZATION

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

 

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

 

It is no doubt that the achievement of the corporate objectives largely depends on the caliber of human resources or personnel factors that make up such organization. Since, the survival of any ideal organization is a function of the nature and quality composition of such venture. This crucial fact influenced the recruitment and selection practices with special emphasis to first Banks Plc.

In many organizations, the reasonability for the choice of new employee is shared between line management and human resource department. The human resource department should be competent to advice on the most modern and best techniques and practices as well as provide a professional support and monitoring service, while line management is involved in the final decision as to who does or does not work in their department. It is therefore very glaring that line managements must be trained, and advised in selection matters especially interviewing.

The need for recruitment and selection in any organization depends upon the number of existing vacancies to be filled or new post to be created. Generally speaking, the conducts of recruitment and selection processes are cost involved and such could be advertising cost, testing cost, interviewing, placement and event employment cost. In view of these, there is much need for any ideal organization to exhibit the concept of seriousness, commitment, merit selection and organizational diplomacy in the conduct of recruitment and selection exercises. Once organizational yield to these facts, it would go along way to influence the velocity of the attainment of corporate objectives and also reduce the rate of labour turnover drastically, First Bank Plc would be not be exemption.

Recruitment according to “Thomas H. Stone” is a systematic and organized procedure where potential employees are obtained for selection and placement in the organization through a variety of sources.

The sources can be from the following:

1.    Institutions e.g. universities, polytechnics, colleges of education

2.    Recruitment agencies, such as Author Andrew, Omoloye and Associate etc.

3.    relative and friends

4.    labor exchange e.g. labour minisry i.e. ministry of labour and productivity.

5.    Internal labour market

 

After recruitment, selecton is the next step in the employment process. The main purpose of selection is to choose individuals that are most likely to succeed on the job from these that are available or responded to the advertisement or limitation to apply for the  job vacancies.

 

The human element has been considered the most crucial in the attainment of any organizations objectives. Therefore, selection procedure involve the screening of candidates according to the progressive series of steps designed to eliminate those who in some says are unsuitable. It involves submitting a comprehensive information or data on the applicant and conducting physical or medical examination, aptitude test, interview and reference checks on the applicant.

 

Once an individual has been deemed fit to be employed, the person is offered an appointment letter and given the conditions of his/her appointment and responsibilities. The individuals acceptance of the appointment is implicitly a contract to seal and accept the obligation of his/her appointment and perform his/her duties that assigned to him/her for a certain remuneration.

But however as a financial institution that have live above board for many decades, it has several branches both within and outside  the state, but with its headquarters at Lagos.

the headquarter as major managerial decisions are often initiated there. As such first hand information for this research for this research would have been readily available there.
