CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
In every organization or system, the need for recruitment arises when an existing employee retires or leaves or is terminated thereby creating a gap which must be filled. Also when a new line of operation is introduced, it will lead to procurement and training of new and old staff to man the new operational product or services (Higgins 1991).
According to Ohadinma and Uwaoma (2000) recruitment is the searching or prospective employees and stimulating them t apply for the job openings in the organization. Selection involves screening applications, short listing, and inviting short listed candidates for an interview which after the interview, successful candidates are appointed and if they accept in writing and report for work, a period of orientation begins which is the process of placement.
Essentially, recruitment, selection and placement decision is made with the view of assigning an individual to a given jobs or training for a job and the essence is to ensure that a perfect fit exists between the workers potentials and the job demands. This is to ensure maximum attainment of productivity while maintaining employee motivation (Ugwu and Onyeje 2000)
Meanwhile, Civil Service according to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary is the government departments in a country, except the armed forces and the people who work for them. Therefore Civil Service System is seen as a large scale governmental organization of permanent paid officials of the state. Their activities are strictly guided by rules and procedures of the government. In the Civil Service System with regard to Imo State, it is the duty and responsibility of each department to solve the issue of recruitment, selection and placement. In each department, there is the existence of a board called personnel management board that handles the issue of recruitment, selection and placement. The exercise is an obvious acknowledgement of the existence of individual differences in the world of work (Ugwu and Onyeneje 2002).
They further stated that6 people differ in their abilities, performances, personality, dispositions, intellectual endowment, and physical make up and so on and this fact constitutes the foundation of Recruitment, Selection and Placement in organization without an exception to Imo State Civil Service System. The personnel department analyses the staff strength, the available job and come up with areas that need staff and the number required in each ministry.
Generally, Recruitment, Selection and Placement into the Civil Service System in Imo State is usually through either internal or external sources. Ohadinma and Uwaoma (2000) stated that most organizations adopt the policy of recruiting from within and this means that whenever they have the need for personnel to fill vacant positions, these organizations will not immediately rush out to the external sources but will first see how much of these positions can be filled up by the existing labour force through promotion and transfer.
While external sources involves when an organization must of a necessity turn to an external sources at one time or the other for lower positions, expansion and other jobs whose specification cannot be met by the present organizational personnel. The external sources according to Ohadinman and Uwaoma (2000) includes advertising media, recommendation from present employees, schools and colleges, labour unions, employment agencies and casual applicants.
The importance of recruitment, election and placement into the Imo State Civil Service System cannot be over emphasized in that it helps them (Civil Service) to secure the tight types of men and women because it implies that those selected are deemed more likely to be effective workers all things being equal than those rejected.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
One of the major problems which management in any organization both the Imo State Civil Service must contend with is the most effective ways of matching people with jobs. Should jobs be designed to suit individuals or vice versa? There are some questions that must be addressed by an organization if it hopes to supply its desired human resources and to optimize their performance (Ohadinma and Uwaoma 20002).
Formerly, recruitment, selection and placement into the Imo State Civil Service System is through competitive examination, at times it is through political patronage (Anaemeka 2003). The theory of the Nigerian Civil Service is governed by the merit principle. But in practice, the reverse is the case for instead of employing applicants on merit basis; they do it now on who they know. There has been some new introduction that negates the principle of merit like the quota-system, federal character and son of the soil syndrome.
Aniemekea went further to say that a qualified applicant whose state or local government has exhausted its quota and who is not a federal character cannot be employed, thereby making the personnel management board to recruit the wrong staff. The survival of the Civil Service System depends significantly on its workforce and care must be taken over the issue of recruitment, selection and placement. The system no longer adhere to the recruiting principle on merit rather they do it based on long leg (Ima Madu) which brought about decline in productivity.
The need for coherent recruitment, selection and placement procedure cannot be over emphasized in that for the personnel department to recruit quality workforce, there has to be a well determined and formalized policy that will guide management in the process.
