Introduction

Recruitment and Selection, are the main key steps for hiring employees. Recruitment and selection is typically most challenging segment for employers’ .The keys to choose the right candidates at the right time and hiring them are being strategic and significant matter of the organization's future .That is where associations discuss their human asset as their significant hierarchical resource. In reality strongly the capacities of an association falls upon the shoulders of its workers (Chungyalpa and Karishma,2016).

The significant improvements in the field of associations as of late is the expanding significance given to human asset. Individuals are imperative to associations as employees offer points of view, qualities and assigns to confident life; and when managed successfully, these human characteristics can be of extensive advantages to the association (Ekwoaba, Ikeije and Ufoma, 2015).

The success of recruitment and employment specialists generally is measured by the number of employment positions they fill and the time take to fill required positions. Recruiters who work in-house -- as opposed to companies that provide recruitment and staffing services, playing a key role in developing the employer's workforce .Recruitment is characterized as procedure of delivering a group of fit individuals to apply a work to an association yet then again choice is a demonstration of choosing at least one individuals or things from a group or individuals is an arrangement of them that have been chosen from an affiliation (Anosh, Hamad, and Batool,2014).The number and comprehensive of individuals required might be set out in normal workforce designs from which are indirect ideal recruitment designs. All the more normally, necessities are communicated as open requests for individuals due to the production of new posts, venture into new exercises or zones, or the requirement for a replacement. (Armstrong and Taylor,2014).  

Recruitment and selection approach should be adopted in order to achieve one the most important practice of Human Resource Management within the organization. There are two methods of selection and recruitment process which are internal recruitment and External recruitment.

Internal Recruitment 

It is suitable for the association to hold inside technique for recruitment which can be considered as the premise of people in created and steady organizations.The internal type of recruitment may provide the opportunity to alter the position of job to employees in the Company (Anyim, Ikemefuna, and Shadare ,2011). Internal Recruitment may construct the healthy reliability with the Company as the workers have the opportunity to alter employees’ location after some point of time. There are close links between the internal recruitment and the human resource planning, work analysis, job design and human resource development (Muscalu 2015). On the other side, the inside source of recruitment offers open door for the improvement inside the business.

The process of the internal recruitment conveys an extraordinary load of work to the capacity of the HRM as all people for the position are required to informed and made do with strict obligations during the time spent Internal Recruitment.Furthermore an undeniable motivation to be incomplete insiders is that employee understand the organization and its hierarchical culture and have created skills that are explicit to the association. Those abilities will in general initiate over the long improvement business connections among employees and employers in light of the fact that the specific profitable work relationship benefits the two entities (Varo 2016).

External Recruitment

Outside sourcing of the recruitment delivers new people to the Company that might be an incredible preferred stance for the Company.The External source of the recruitment permits the Company to explain accurate needs and the Company may select the individual that suit to the organization requirement (Li 2015). This is where the pool of likely employment hopefuls is bigger for outer organization, especially if the firm will perform a wide net and put strongly in reliant enrollment and screening systems (Varo 2016).

McGregor’s Theory in recruitment & selection

Theory X and Y made by McGregor has been a significant imported standard from which to create positive management style and techniques . McGregor's ideas suggest that there are two bottom line approaches to managing people. Several managers subjective by the theory x, and generally get poor results. On the other hand, liberal managers use theory y, which determine better performance and results, and allows people to abound and develop (Mohamed and Nor, 2013).

The concept of this theory as theory Y practices companies will generate more motivation compared to theory X (Gannon and Boguzak 2013). as giving more responsibility, freedom, recognition, responsibility will defiantly motivate the people, Also theory Y will help for innovation and higher productivity from the employee base. Therefore sometimes the real productivity comes in real stress; hence theory Y will not give best results .Always. Since employees might get things too easily with the freedom given by the management (Hattangadi 2015).

How McGregor’s theory apply to the Organization which I Work for

• This is a strategic way of amalgamate both theory X and Y to create motivation on employees. As a middle of X and Y were taken to build this theory since extreme end of any end will create issues in the long run. 

• As Etisalat management needs to take more control the X end is modified by including new defensive measures and controls rather than putting a pressure on the employees. In this method the ambiguity that the management has on employees can mitigate by introducing audits, reviews and Compliance of the KPI’s. This will make sure that they are pre consent for the targets without much pressure from the management.

• The responsibility is included to X end as it generates incitation as well as ensure the output of the delivery, hence that can be used as a managing tool in X end which generates motivation in return.

• Y end of the theory is mainly core on the motivational factors of the staff, as currently staff is facing on lack of training and development, career progression, growth and compensation issues, those can be mitigated by introducing this practice. Apart of the common aspects, “Pay” is included in to the Y end of motivational factor as it was discovered that the delay of increment and variations of the same level employee salaries are generating a demotivation in employee base.

• Also the innovation and leadership improvements were targeted by giving more authorization in this model, where both employees and organization will gain in long run.

• This theory is designed to satisfy both employees and the management expectations in a cost effective manner.
