Recruitment and Selection i

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the recruitment and

selection process followed by the businesses at public

markets in the Municipality of Tigbauan. The researchers

studied the literature review of recruitment and

selection in the hiring process of employees and the

variables such as type of business, years of business and

number of employees were used as categories of the

factors in hiring process and performance of employees.

The result revealed that when taken as a whole group, the

businesses practice recruitment methods such as

referrals, advertisement, head hunting and walk in\direct

application are sometimes observed in their businesses.

The businesses always require resume and personal

interview and seldom practice verification on their

employees. The study also shows that businesses agree

that they have capable employees working on their

business because of their effective hiring process but

also believe that they need to improve their recruitment

and selection practices.
