Employee Recruitment and Selection

The process of recruiting and selecting employees is a critical aspect to be considered in order to run a successful business. Every manager requires new and up to date employees every year to replace those retiring. As a result, the need to adopt different philosophies in business is one of the greatest steps taken to recruit unique and qualified employees. A standardized code of conduct and evaluation should be followed while recruiting new employees. Any applicant noticed to possess some ethical lapses due to their utter negligence should not be considered to guarantee better business performance. This paper discusses the impact of ethical lapses on a company’s overall performance and further examines the fundamental roles of a manager that should be taken into account while recruiting and selecting suitable human resources and its entire management.

Ethical lapses as a result of making unethical decisions in business usually result in harmful outcomes.
