An Evaluation of the Human Resources Recruitment Process of BRAC

Abstract

BRAC is an international development organization based in Bangladesh. In order to receive foreign donations, BRAC was subsequently registered under the NGO Affairs Bureau of the Government of Bangladesh. BRAC is the largest non-governmental development organization in the world. Established by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed in 1972 after the independence of Bangladesh, BRAC is present in all 64 districts of Bangladesh as well as 11 other countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. BRAC employs over 90,000 people, roughly 70 percent of whom are women and that it reaches more than 126 million people with its services. The organization is partly self-funded through a number of social enterprises that include a dairy and food project, a chain of retail handicraft stores called Aarong, seed and Agro. BRAC has operations in 12 countries of the world with a holistic development approach geared toward inclusion, using tools like microfinance, education, healthcare, legal services, community empowerment, social enterprises and BRAC University. BRAC’s work now touches the lives of an estimated 135 million people, with staff and BRAC-trained entrepreneurs numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Focusing on employee recruitment, development, and motivation is crucial for any firm. Nothing else can accomplish what HR function can for a company. Human resources are crucial to every organization's success. However, people can only be a resource if they are trained, developed, and given the necessary skills to help the business achieve its goals. And the right staff development activities must be implemented in order to develop their skills. The executive team and the human resources department should lead this project. One of the main goals of the human resources division should be to hire the right people in the proper positions to meet the goals and objectives of the company. BRAC Human Resource Division prioritizes employee satisfaction and offers fast service. This gave rise to the notion of evaluating the success of the HRD efforts implemented by BRAC HRD and identifying ways to enhance the development process.
