A Study on Recruitment and Selection in Amara Hospital at Tirupathi

This study examines the recruitment and selection practices at Amara Hospital, Tirupati, with emphasis on employee perception, recruitment efficiency, selection methods, and HR policy support. The research was undertaken to understand how effectively the hospital attracts, screens, and selects suitable candidates in a competitive healthcare environment. A descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from employees through a structured questionnaire, supported by secondary data from academic and organizational sources. The study found that employees were generally satisfied with the recruitment and selection process and viewed it as systematic and effective. It also revealed that job descriptions, interview questions, and selection criteria were considered clear and relevant by most respondents. The findings further showed that job portals and employee referrals are major recruitment sources, while nursing vacancies occur more frequently and shortage of qualified candidates remains a challenge. Although the overall system was viewed positively, certain issues such as recruitment delays, communication gaps, and the need for wider sourcing were identified. The study concludes that Amara Hospital follows a well-structured recruitment and selection process, but continuous improvement in planning, communication, and HR policies is essential for better organizational performance.
