The banking sector plays a vital role in the economic development of a country, and its efficiency largely depends on the quality of human resources. This study focuses on the recruitment and selection practices adopted in the banking sector, with the objective of analyzing their effectiveness, challenges, and recent trends. The research examines various recruitment sources such as internal hiring, campus recruitment, employee referrals, and digital platforms, along with selection methods including aptitude tests, interviews, group discussions, and background verification. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data is collected through surveys and interviews with bank employees and HR professionals, while secondary data is obtained from journals, reports, and official banking websites. The findings indicate that the adoption of digital recruitment tools and online assessment methods has significantly improved the efficiency and transparency of hiring processes. However, challenges such as high competition for skilled talent, lengthy selection procedures, and bias in evaluation still persist.The study concludes that while the banking sector has modernized its recruitment and selection processes, there is a need for continuous improvement through the use of advanced technologies, structured interview techniques, and unbiased assessment systems. Effective recruitment and selection practices can enhance employee performance, reduce turnover, and contribute to overall organizational success.
