As a federal government parastatal, the NBTE which was established by the decree 9 of January 1977 and inaugurated on 27th May, 1977, is an important organization playing supervision role on the effectiveness of technical and vocational education for the manpower needs of Nigeria. With staff strength of 309 largely professional with a minimum of HND/BSC certificates, the of how it recruits its personnel and how this has effect on productivity is very important, and it was on this basis which certain recommendations were made.         

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

No organization can function without corporate objectives; organizational objectives are normally set for several years ahead. This has made it possible to estimate what manpower requirement would be needed in terms of number and levels and the types of skills necessary to meet such objectives etc. Current staff turnover gives an indication of the number of staff due to leave, the service of the organization over the next few years, while the ages of the existing staff will indicate the number of people who will retire.

However it is generally accepted that manpower planning can never be exact, but it can provide a useful guide for recruitment purposes. Therefore, to strengthen the caliber of employee, both management and staff through the appropriate recruitment procedures, should constantly replace lower level employees, bring in new skills by looking outside the organization and providing talents for future development. In fact, both internal and external labour markets may be used for the purpose of recruitment.

In this study, the term employment  is  used simultaneously as recruitment in an organization.  The quantum of the needs to employ labour to carry out the various functions towards the realization of the organizational objectives is a topic that cannot be neglected in any given organization.  The researcher  looks at the employment procedure and its effects on productivity at the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Kaduna.

According to Robert (1994: 368-369) “The aims of management development is to get the right person with the right equipment in the right place at the right time”.  He further states that the use of consultant to recruit and select supervisory or managerial positions is becoming increasingly common because of the following:-

–      Technological advancement in science and couple with many specialized candidates seeking employment made it difficult to select the best candidate for the right job;

–      The selection process is expensive;

–      The consultants are seen as unbiased in testing and selection of candidates;

–      Only when candidates are certain that they will be considered for employment or recruitment that is when they will be willing to reveal their identity.

Robert (1994:369) further suggests that “Management Planning seeks to maintain and improve an organization’s ability to achieve corporate objectives by developing strategies which are designed to increase the present and future contribution of manpower.”

Wrong procedures is being applied in recruitment and selection process by managers in many organizations. Some of the mistakes associated with recruitment and selection process in a work setting include, faulty recruitment of employees, faulty postings and frequent postings, incompetent superiors, lack of clear objectives, political interference, false reporting. (Augustus Adebayo 1995: 168-171).

Therefore, it is pertinent to note that recruitment and selection procedure plays important role in all organizations.  Focus on the tools of forecasting the demand and supply of labour in organizations will lead to the improvement of performance in an organization. This is what study tries to establish in the case of NBTE, Kaduna, Federal parastatal established with aim on how to advice the Federal Government on how to coordinate all aspects of technical and vocational education falling outside the universities and to make recommendations on the national policy necessary for the training of technicians, craft men and other middle skilled manpower.   

1.2  STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

In this regards, adequate attention must be paid towards the techniques of recruitment and selection procedure in today’s global society.
