Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of various recruiting and selection strategies in the construction industry. The HR department supervises various procedures and activities for hiring and selecting new employees in businesses, particularly in the construction industry. Businesses must now employ various methods and procedures to select candidates and fill available positions. The main objective of the research is to identify the effectiveness of different methods of recruitment and selection. Using a technique of purposive sampling, the data were collected online via a Google form. The survey was limited to nine participants, and all nine responded, resulting in a response rate of one hundred percent. It was decided to create a self-administered questionnaire with sixteen questions. After data collection, the researcher performed a theme analysis to evaluate the findings. Initially, several codes were gathered and merged into significant and emerging themes. Extensive research yielded four noteworthy conclusions: selection and sample procedures, obstacles and barriers, influencing variables, and transition dynamics. These recurring themes were apparent in every aspect of the interviews. Human resource managers face many challenges in the ever-changing world of recruitment, particularly in the construction industry. Self-management requirements are one of the most significant barriers to achievement.
