Human Resources
Human resource planning, recruitment, and selection are the initial steps in effecting the company’s strategy by maximizing its investment in human capital. Think of the recruitment and selection like a funnel, with the wide part of the funnel collecting a wide assortment of candidates, and the selection process sorting the candidate pool into a smaller group of qualified candidates, both in terms of the skills needed for the job and from the standpoint of their fit with the organizational culture of the company. Both kinds of suitability are needed to effectively advance the company strategy via its human resources capabilities.
