                                                ABSTRACT

The most valuable asset of any organization is its human resources. The acquisition of the relevant labour force centres on recruitment and selection process. The ways and method of recruitment and selection of employees however are now challenging today more than ever before by a changing and more demanding labour force that has high expectations about the work place. Simultaneously, rapidly advancing technologies and outside influences are changing the nature of the jobs. It is therefore pertinent to investigate the impact of recruitment and selection on organizational productivity which we took (The Nigeria Breweries Company Plc) as a case study. The hypothesis earlier derived help to guide the study. Therefore it is recommended that adequate attention should be paid to the recruitment and selection of workers in order to promote organization productivity and also to enhance the standard of the product to be produced, because the efficiency and intellectual of the employees been employed will surely boost the level of productivity. This means the right people should be employed at the right time, for the right-job and to the right position.
