INTRODUCTION
Recruitment can be defined as the process of seeking out, searching and hiring suitable
candidates for a particular job position within the business organisation (Angima and Carroll,
2019). Recruitment is an important part of the business because this helps in bringing more
talented and skilled employees for attaining the set objectives and goals. Whereas onboarding
can be defined as the process of introducing a newly recruited employee to the company norms
and regulations that they follow for managing smooth functioning of the business. With the help
of onboarding employees get to know about their new position and job profile requirements in a
easy manner for better growth and success. Employees are the most necessary factor of the
business which assist in achieving the high sales and profitability in the competitive business
environment (Czopek and Kazusek, 2021). Recruitment and onboarding helps in retaining and
sustaining employees in the business for attracting customers attention for contributing towards
the business.

The main purpose of the project is to understand about the concept of recruitment and
onboarding within an organisation for retaining talented and skilled employees. The research
project includes different activities for completing each activity in a proper and effective manner.
For completing the activities with the stipulated period of time, the researcher has used Gantt
chart for accomplishing the given activities according to the given plan and order. Gantt chart
helps in providing an overview about the activities of the research and how much time a project
will take, identify the resources required, and also gives order plan for carrying the activities in
that order (Palombarini and Martínez, 2022). It helps in determining the process of the project so
that they deal with the competencies related with the particular research project in an effective
manner. This helps the researcher in planning out work according the the given deadlines and in
allocating the resources properly.
