ABSTRACT

This research project was set out to alleviate the problems that Human Resource Departments

face from time to time as they undertake the process of looking for prospective employees for

their respective corporations. As they are doing this, many impediments arise as to how they can

manage to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. For this, a number of factors arise. These

factors affect overall performance of the Human Resource in discharging its responsibilities to

the Organization which is the main financier and beneficiary of having a qualified and diverse

workforce. The general objective of the project was to examine the factors affecting the

recruitment and selection process that has led to loss of time, money and in-efficiency, the

project intended to propose measures for improvement in this important yet neglected

functionality. The research design used was a case study technique to obtain data from the target

population which was the Kenya Railways staff and in particular, the Human resource

Department. The study utilized documentation, interviews and observation to obtain the findings.

The Human Resource/Recruitment Management System is a general purpose set of instruction

that facilitates the process of advertising, applying and management of various applications of

prospective employees; they describe the relational databases as a collection of data, typically

describing the activities of one or more related origination; the report covers the fundamentals of

the modern Human Resource management system in particular the implementation of a database

system. What resulted from this was an efficient mechanism that allowed the proper management

of job applications and selection by the Human Resource Staff. From the study we would recommend online application and management system to enable an easy transition from the application process to eventually the end of the recruitment and selection process.
