At present, Indian commercial banks cannot claim to have a proper human resource planning system that captures the type of people it requires, the level at which they are required and clearly defined roles for everyone and now it has become essential to design the recruitment process carefully and to adopt the effective measures to acquire the best talent in the banking sector. The present research based on qualitative as well as quantitative approaches proposes to make a comparative analysis of policies and practices relating to employees’ recruitment and selection in public and private sector commercial banks. It has been traced that well defined recruitment and selection system is followed and line manager and HR managers participate. A comprehensive selection process is used before rendering a decision, unbiased tests and interviewing techniques are used, attitude and desire to work in a team and individual as a criterion used in recruitment and selection process in Indian commercial banks. Moreover, public sector banks by following the private sector banks’ philosophy of growth have exploited productivity enhancement for growth so far, but now they need to induct new talent in large numbers to maintain growth. Recruitment machinery is required to attract talent (as against evaluate applicants) and to retain them through well planned HRM practices.
