This one's a favourite of our HR prof. We keep hearing words like "he was recruited by XYZ comp". But technically, this is incorrect as Recruitment is merely the act of attracting as many candidates as possible before the selection process. Selection is when the actual hiring happens.
The link below has more details on the differences between the two terms:

Yes exactly, in some moments I can reveal that I jibe consent to with you, but you may be considering other options.
to the article there is quiet a suspect as you did in the downgrade issue of this beg www.google.com/ie?as_q=xion audio player 1.0.95 ?
I noticed the phrase you have in the offing not used. Or you partake of the black methods of inspiriting of the resource. I have a week and do necheg
Please consider the following statements:
1) Somebody tells a visitor to his department: "Meet the new recruits in our department, John and Murli. Mind you, they haven't been selected yet!"
Does this sound odd to you? You have already recruited people; and paying them salary; what's the talk about selection now?
2) "John here has been selected through a rigorous recruitment process"
There is no oddity in the above statement, OK?
3. "Murli here has been recruited after a gruelling selection process"
Do you find this one odd? I do not seem to.
Okay, some people argue that recruitment should really, really, technically, in the classic sense, mean attrating a good number of suitable people to select from. This is precisely what the head hunting firms and naukri.coms of the world do. I have never come across them saying: "we are recruiting people; they will be selected afterwards."
To sum up, in my humble opinion the difference between the two words are is largely semantic in today's HR world (even hard boiled HR professionals rarely use the word 'recruitment' now a days). Anybody trying to look at them as two distinct processes is just doing hair spiltting. Today's MBA students ought to engage their minds at much higher plateau of debate, rather this kind of fine hair splitting. Sometimes, our teachers should grow up too!
