This research project was set out to alleviate the problems that Human Resource Departments face from time to time as they undertake the process of looking for prospective employees for their respective corporations. As they are doing this, many impediments arise as to how they can manage to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. For this, a number of factors arise. These factors affect overall performance of the Human Resource in discharging its responsibilities to the Organization which is the main financier and beneficiary of having a qualified and diverse workforce. The general objective of the project was to examine the factors affecting the recruitment and selection process that has led to loss of time, money and in-efficiency, the project intended to propose measures for improvement in this important yet neglected functionality.
