Having selected the most suitable persons for the various categories of jobs in the enterprise through the application of recruitment techniques, it becomes necessary to arrange for their training. And thats where the role of recruiting software comes in.

While education improves the knowledge and understanding of employees in a general way, training aims at increasing the aptitudes, skills and abilities of the workers to perform specific jobs. With increased chances of a new worker doing well at his job, the systematic methods of vocational guidance and selection are extended to their logical conclusion.

A person, however capable and competent, cannot do his best at a job unless he is systematically trained in the current methods of work. The advantages of a training program are obviously enormous. In the first place, training brings about an improvement of the quality and quantity of output by increasing the skill of the employees. A novice, who has just started working without proper training, will normally produce less than another person who has been systematically trained. In fact, the quality of work done by him may not be up to the mark for lack of proper training.

Secondly, trained personnel will be able to make much better and more economical use of materials and equipment then untrained employees, thus reducing the cost of production. In addition, since trained personnel will commit very few mistakes, the management can well afford to focus its attention on planning the work and encourage expert workers.

Finally, training will create a feeling among the workers that they are being properly cared for, and that the employer is sincere to them. This will improve relations between the employers and employees. If, on the contrary, the workers are not fully trained in the correct methods of work, unwholesome developments may follow. The level of output and the quality of work may be poor.
