Overview
HRMT 301 is the study of recruitment and selection (R&S) as a key aspect of human resources management (HRM) in an organization. This course is intended to provide you with an understanding of recruitment and selection methods and processes as well as give you an opportunity to develop a critical approach to R&S and HRM. This critical approach is necessary because choosing whom to employ is an important way in which employers pursue their interests in the workplace.
