As we all know that Recruiting itself  is a unique proffession , for a lots of reasons .

Unethical recruitment and selection practices is said to be unethical when it ignores the laid down policies , procedures and results in hiring that based on hiring that based on unfairness , biasness or discrimination especially if person hired does not fit the job or the culture of the organization.


UNETHICAL ISSUES :-

•  DISCRIMINATION:-

Discrimination is one of the oldest unfair practices going on all over the world in both formal and informal working  Discriminatory  practices in organisations covers unequal treatment between individuals and groups and between men and women . The preferential or unequal treatment can be based on gender , race , colour, payment,religion,national origin and region within the nation.

• DISABILITY:-

Disabled persons are employed in India in public sectors and government offices due to the rules and reservations applicable to them .however most of the disabled people are neglected in terms of selection and after employment.some of the disabled persons are quite good in their work . However society treats them in an unfair manner.

• EMPLOYMENT ISSUES:-

In developing world the employment issues are still to get stabilized satisfactorily . The employment , working conditions , exploitations and unfair practices still continue due to lack of organisation amongst employees.

• RACE :-

Selecting a particular race of people represents to somehow selecting from their own group .This is more applicable at national and international level of selections .

• ADVERTISEMENTS:-

Announcing the vacancies and not taking any action further . Not clear about processing dates , written tests / interview dates and selection dates . Accountability is totally lacking.

• MANPOWER CONSULTANTS :-

By and large manpower consultants do a good job as mostly they are hired by the private organisations. moreover their services are mostly for official posts and there is no statue to follow rules of reservations.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-

• DON'T NEGLECT TO SHARE NEXT STEPS:-

Job candidates leave the interview with no clue about what happens next i believe the candidate should be aware of expected communication ,whether he/she receives a job offer.

• BE PREPARED FOR THE INTERVIEW:-

The interviewer must be just prepared for the interview as the potential job candidate . An interviewer who is distracted, under prepared to the interview process sends a clear signal that the candidate has little value to the organization. It is unlikely that the most qualified candidates will accept a job offer.

• DON'T MAKE PEOPLE WAIT DURING SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS:-

Making people wait when they have scheduled appointment leaves a person feeling devalued and disrespected.keep this in mind and honour your appointment times.This will demonstrate respect and of course time is valuable for all.
