Recruitment is a process of giving the advertisements of a particular job to all the potential candidate to apply for. As in we just post a job telling the job description and the various criteria required to apply for the job.
In recruitment we tell as in who can apply for a particular job.
Selection is the process of selecting among all the potential candidates who actually applied for through various types of interview.
In selection we test all the potential candidates who actually applied for a particular job.

Recruitment is a +ve process where we ae going to just inform various job applicants to apply for there jobs via any media..... ads hoarding campus recruitment.

Selection is a negetive process where the company is going to conduct a series tests where from unfit candidates are rejected step by step and then a certain lot of bestpupil are selected among them.

Recruitment preceeds Selection.

Selected candidates are subset of the Recruited Candidates.
