INTRODUCTION
For most of the organizations, the hiring and deploying the people is the basic goal for
maintaining their position in the market. The term recruitment is defined as the aspect of
the organization in which search for a potential candidate in sufficient number is
undertaken. It mainly focuses on the quality of the work that can be presented by the
individual (Kendrick, 2015). On the other hand, selection is the process through which
the information of evaluating and deciding the people with the particular jobs might be
employed for the business. The major difference with the domestic and international
staffing is examined by the constraints imposed by host government. Training and
development is the basic requirement of the human resource management in the
organization. This can help in providing better performance for the individual and groups
in the organizational setting.
The study demonstrates the aspects of recruitment, selection and training to the
employees of the multinational companies. This might help in encompassing basic
activities that evaluate the job held by the employees within the organization (Browning,
2014). The Multinational companies make sure that their employees are skilled and
willful to work in the organization. This might add to the four objectives that focus on the
individual, societal and organizational objectives.
Nestle is the multinational food and drink company which is located in Switzerland. The
company provides the products such as baby food, medical food and bottled water to
more than 188 countries. The current employees for the organization are around
339000 people through which the main shareholder is L’Oreal (Chandrasekaran et al.,
2016). The study presents the recruitment and selection and training aspects of the
business while recruiting international employees.

Project Management
This is a practice which includes initiation, planning, executing and controlling the work
within specified time limit (Sekaran and Bougie, 2016). The key challenge for the project
management is to meet all goals and objectives within the given constraints.
Globalization
According to Chandrasekaran et al (2016), Globalization has brought about the change
in the mutations of the human resources and is meeting to the external environmental
changes in the organization. This might help in recruitment and selection process by
undertaking the actions related to competitive advantage. The process can set the
migration of the people from different places in order appear in the multinational
companies across the globe. In case of extending the activities in another country, the
criteria for selection are made otherwise the difficulties might meet with the personal
recruitment and selection. The key aim of the study is to develop an understanding of
the proposed framework of individual development programme for organization. The
role of the recruitment, and training, selection of the employees to meet the international
requirements is carried out in the study.
Recruitment, selection and training
According Mohamed et al (2013), the business becomes successful when the
organization hire, train and retain the employees. It is necessary for the organization to
set the new direction for the recruitment and selection of the business with the
productivity and labor force. The role identified for the selective hiring is ensured to
meet the better fit between organizational needs and employee skills and abilities. This
might echoed with the perceived profits and market share along with the investment.
The multinational companies have developed some HR practices of recruitment,
training and retention through which the developing economies can extensively manage

the succession and promotion of the business. The multinationals are responsible for
providing extensive support to the employees who are ensured to have stability in the
business.
