A STUDY ON RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS

Recruitment and selection represent one of the most significant functions of Human Resource Management (HRM), as they directly influence organizational productivity, workforce quality, and overall performance. This research investigates the recruitment and selection practices at MIDEA INDIA Pvt. Ltd., Supa, Ahilyanagar. A descriptive research design with a mixed-method approach was employed using primary data (questionnaires, interviews, and observations) and secondary data (HR manuals, reports, and literature). Findings reveal that job portals and employee referrals are the most widely used sources of recruitment, while interviews, technical tests, and background verification serve as the key selection tools. Although the recruitment system is effective, challenges such as skill shortages, competition for talent, and hiring delays persist. The study proposes recommendations to enhance sourcing strategies, streamline hiring cycles, and strengthen induction programs.
