Where is the demarcation line between recruitment and selection?
It is observed that an MNC is collecting all sorts of information on the date of the interview. Once the interview is cracked, the HR immediately asks for documents from successful candidates. The HR has no intention of selecting all successful candidates but will shortlist among those candidates after the HR rounds (or may not select anyone based on the urgency of the requirement).
My query is, even before issuing the offer letter, is the company 'legally authorized' to collect copies of documents like PAN Card, Passport, ITR, Salary Breakup/Slips, Previous Company's Appointment/Appraisal Letter, Education Certificates, Form-16, Organization ID, and more importantly, the 'Information Release Form' that authorizes the company to conduct verification on me without me yet being a part of the company? There are many other less intimidating personal pieces of information like marital status, phone numbers of families/references, address, etc.
I would like to emphasize again that the info is collected without an offer and purely on a 'candidacy' basis just after the interview process.
I believe it is not ethical to database the personal information of people who are not part of the company. However, I am interested in the legality of it.

Hi Charles,
Recruitment and Selection are two interrelated functions but yet different. Recruitment comes first and is followed by Selection. Recruitment is a positive process, while Selection is a negative process. Recruitment involves calling a large pool of candidates, while Selection involves choosing the suitable candidate. These are the major differences that I know.

Recruitment = Getting to know (gathering) the Pool of what is available. Selection- To choose the Best from the available.

Hi Charles, this is Trinadh. Actually, what our HR family members said is absolutely correct. I will also explain the meaning of Recruitment and Selection in a single line, which I believe will be helpful for you to understand. Please see as follows:
RECRUITMENT:
Recruitment means searching for candidates and encouraging them to apply for the job.
SELECTION:
Selection means choosing candidates based on their skills, knowledge, qualifications, physical appearance, and other unique qualities relevant to the job.
My dear seniors, if I make any mistakes, please excuse me and provide the correct answers. If my post is correct, please appreciate me because I am a fresher who has recently joined as an HR.

Recruitment
Recruitment is the activity of establishing contact between employers and applicants. It encourages a large number of candidates for a job and is a simple process where candidates do not have to overcome many hurdles. It is a positive approach that precedes selection and is considered an economical method as it requires less time.
Selection
Selection is the process of picking up more competent and suitable employees. It aims at rejecting unsuitable candidates and is a complicated process where many hurdles have to be crossed. It is a negative approach that follows recruitment and is considered an expensive method as it requires more time.
