Recruitment and Selection in Human Resource Management?

Does your organization and HR department REALLY want the best candidates  or is it just words?    SHOULD recruitment and selection be in human  resource management at all???  

HR tends to be put junior people in recruitment who don't like it and leave as soon as possible.  So recruiters aren't developing the skillsets they really need to be effective recruiters.  Their most  important role is to connect with potential candidates and work with  hiring managers to understand the organization.  

Too often HR doesn't provide the budget that good recruitment needs.   AND, as Serge Boudreau says, good recruiters should act more like sales  and marketing people than your typical HR person.  

There's a lot to learn from Serge's perspective on recruitment  that challenges our preconceived notions of recruitment's place in  organizations.  Many HR departments can certainly do better.
