I will be conducting research on Human resource management focusing the recruitment po licies procedures and practices that are being implemented in Standard Chartered , CITI Bank and United Bank Limited. The objectives of this study are to identify general practices that Banks in Pak istan use to recruit the employees. This study also aims to determine which recr uitment policies and practices are most effective. Determine how the recruitment policies and practices affect organizational outcomes. For recruiting managerial/professional candidates, the Internet is the most popu lar advertising medium used by organizations. Organizations also regularly utili ze internal resources (e.g., internal job postings and employee referrals) when recruiting both internal and external candidates. Different kinds of agencies ar e used to recruit for positions at different levels. Temporary and government ag encies are used mainly to recruit non-management candidates. Employment agencies , colleges, and professional organizations are used more often to recruit manage rial/professional candidates. Organizations with the most effective selection systems were more likely to use the practices such as, behavior-based interviews, training and experience evalua tions, ability tests, and biographical data. Organizations with highly effective selection systems experienced higher business outcomes (i.e., financial perform ance, quality of products and services, productivity, and customer satisfaction) and employee outcomes (i.e., employee satisfaction and retention of quality emp loyees) than those with ineffective selection systems. 2008 Hussain Raza , Lahore School Of Economics 1 The study of this proposal highlights the effects of recruitment, how it affects sales and the final output of the organization and whether better recruitment p olicies would lead the organization to achieve economies of scale. 1.1 Background: In the Banking sector the success or the failure mainly results on the performan ce of employees. The better the performance of the employee the better will be t he output. The HR department of the banks keeps on looking for the person who th ey think is suitable for their job. Recruitment is a part of Human Resource Management and no organization can progr ess without proper Human Resource Practices. Recruitment refers to the process o f finding right people for the right job or function. Recruitment polices and pr actices refer that how that person should be hired and are followed and carried out by the recruiters or the HR managers. Procedures refers that through which c hannel the policies and practices are implement, how the policies are implement and what ways should be adopted to carry out the human resources practices. Recruitment is the process of identifying and attracting potential candidates fr om within and outside an organization to begin evaluating them for future employ ment. Once candidates are identified, an organization can begin the selection pr ocess. This includes collecting, measuring, and evaluating information about can didates qualifications for specified positions. Organizations use these processes to increase the likelihood of hiring individuals who possess the right skills a nd abilities to be successful at their jobs. Todays tight labor market is making it more difficult for organizations to find, recruit, and select talented people . The competition for talent is intensifying, as there are fewer qualified appli cants available. This shortage of applicants makes it all the more important for organizations to be able to effectively attract, select, and retain quality can didates. 1.2 Objectives: Standard charted and CITI bank are one of the leading international banks where as United Bank was previously owned by the Government of Pakistan and later on d
