resources at the workplace. This essay presents the role of HRM to determine and enhance the

Role of HRM in determining and enhancing the organizational performance of
international firms
Recruitment and Selection
According to Foster (2014), recruitment and selection is an essential role that performed by HR
manager in an international organization. It aids to determine and enhance the performance of
the company. For example, Tesco PLC Retail Company hires HR manager to emphasize on
recruitment practices with the aim to influence the right person for their job. In this way, the HR
manager can focus on different recruitment activities such as technical and vocational events,
traditional newspaper advertisements, college hiring fairs, and internal efforts.
On the other side, Armstrong and Taylor (2014) stated that as per the requirement of current
opening and prospects for future recruitment, a HR manager will have a need to direct the efforts
with regards to best alternative for recruiting the right employees. For example, Virgin Atlantic
International airline focuses on hiring the employees through college fairs and traditional
newspaper advertisement as it can be feasible for an entry-level position within an organization.
In contrast to this, Shields et al. (2015) evaluated that there is a need for HR manager to address
the specific competency, knowledge, and qualities that a company seeks and desires from an
individual while selecting the right employees. It can aid to maintain the required skills and
maintaining the position itself like particular degree and certification and expected personal
qualities like a preference to recruit workforces with good ethical standard and good morale.

In support of this, Guest (2017) stated that selection procedure involves the conducting aptitude
test and a background check assessment in order to make sure that employees meet their basic
qualification of both the position and their company. For example, John Lewis partnership Retail
Company hires an individual with the right personality types and job skills as it would be
beneficial to select the happy worker. A culture that matches the preference of employees and
makes them happy can also lead to a higher extent of retention.
Brewster (2017) argues that lower turnover rates and more favorable workplace moral may
contribute to the higher efficiency with higher profits. An effective recruiting and selecting
procedure may lead to producing the better outcome in the company. The quality of products and
services can be improved while the best workforces are retained and hired. The financial
outcome can be improved while the best people are retained and hired.
In support of this, Sheehan (2014) stated that financial success can be improved while the best
individual is recognized, retained, hired and trained. There are some employees who accomplish
their goal and objective hence organizational structure should permit more freedom while
workforces understand how to effectively complete their jobs. Influencing new workforces can
be easier while the reputation of the company for hiring and training is better. There are also
fewer requirements for recruiting and choosing the department in case of lack of constant hiring
procedure.
Motivation
Bailey et al. (2018) illustrated that a well motivates employees will perform in a way that offers
the greatest worth for international firms organization. Disinterest in daily tasks and feeling of
disconnect from the overall objectives of the company can lead to decline the quality of work.
Instead of performing their best, employees will want to do their jobs well enough in order to
