Selection - Selecting a candidate without conducting any technical test. Selection based only on personal interview

Recruitment - This is a process of selecting an employee, Aptitute Test / Technical Test ----> Personal Interview --------> Technical Interview --------> HR Interview --------> Finalising the Offer

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.
