The goal is to thoroughly assess candidates to ensure they are the best fit for the role, as well as the company culture and strategic goals.
Recruitment, on the other hand, covers a broader range of job levels, from entry-level to mid-management positions. It typically involves open job postings and outreach to attract actively searching candidates.
