INTRODUCTION
The human resource function within the company is the main function and under this also
the recruitment is the main focus area (Popa, 2016). This is majorly because of the reason that
the recruitment is the department which is responsible for managing the employees in the
business. If the employees will not be recruited in correct way then this will not be beneficial for
the company. this is so because if the efficient people are not placed at the correct position then
this will impact the efficiency of the company.
The present report is based on the two case studies pertaining one to Queen Alexandra
College and the other one is ASDA. The present report will outline the debate pertaining to the
benefits and challenges which are associated with the recruitment of the older people in the two
organization. And in the end some recommendations will be highlighted in the report.

employees will take place within the company (Ramdhani, Ramdhani and Ainissyifa, 2017).
Thus, the human resource is the main department and the reason for the success of the company.
this is due to the fact that if the HR department is not efficient then it will not be able to recruit
the efficient and effective employee. It is the duty of the human resource department that they
recruit the efficient employee only which are energetic and productive in doing their work.
In the present case the main discussion is on the topic that whether the older people need
to recruited for the companies or not. This is the major and buzzing topic for the human resource
department of the company. this is due to the fact that the recruitment of the older people has
both the advantages and also some of the challenges attached to it (Ringim, Dantsoho and John,
2017). The older people are the ones who have been exceeding the retirement age and are much
older even in some case there is a generation gap between the existing employees and the older
employees present within the company. this is due to the fact that the older employees are
sometimes treated as a block within the company as they are of no use as they have become so
old and are not enough capable of doing the work effectively as compared to the young
