 INTRODUCTION
The recruitment and selection unit is dedicated to recruiting and
selecting qualified candidates for appointment. This process includes
administering all testing phases from the written examination up until
applicants are appointed. The recruitment and selection process should
ensure fairness and consistency throughout the entire process. It should
be administered in such a way that only those applicants who meet
various job related standards are offered positions of appointment. The
recruitment and selection units should actively recruit and participate in
event that will foster a diverse applicant pool. Recruiting from a pool of
targeted leads can decrease member attrition.

The objective of my study was to understand the recruitment and

selection practices. In this report, I have tried to include all the issues
related to recruitment and selection process which I could gather after
reading various articles on Human Resource.

In overall study I have emphasized a project on “ recruitment and

selection process of corporates” study incorporates AMAZON company
hiring.

placements as a source of recruitment.
III.
IV. Walk-ins are always used as a source of recruitment for junior
level.

process of Amazon such as new sources of recruitment should be
entertained, written examinations should be included in selection
process and physical examination should be considered as a part of
Selection Process

 SUGGESTIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the results obtained.

CONCLUSIONS
Company mainly focuses on internal sources which has its own
limitations. By focusing on Campus Placements Company can attract
qualified personnel for vacant jobs in the organization. It can
facilitate the infusion of fresh blood with new ideas in to the
enterprise. This will improve the overall working of the enterprise.
