The most important asset of an organization is not its physical infrastructure or market share or the product alone. An efficient workforce can make a major difference to the slackest organizations. That is why recruitment is given so much importance. The responsibilities of a human resource department in any company are not limited to short listing and recruitment of an eligible candidate. A greater challenge is to manage them effectively, be consistent and fair in their treatment and provide appropriate compensation to the candidate for their contribution in the company’s growth. The department should also maintain detailed records of each and every employee (existing as well as ex-employees).
