According to above table advance recruitment and selection techniques are followed by MAS Holdings rather than Hayleys PLC. There is no equal technique or point among two companies. Recruitment and selection technics of Hayleys PLC is based on 11 talents. But there can be candidates who couldn’t perform under those talents in interviews but have another talent that help to the company to achieve targets. Hayleys PLC is expecting competency recruitment but it unfair for both the candidates and company. 
Focusing on same talent can be missed effective and educated people and Hayleys PLC has minimum chance to change their recruitment and selection techniques with social changes. Doing external recruitment mostly is minimized the chance to develop to internal employees of Hayleys PLC. According to authors’ opinion recruitment and selection techniques of Hayleys PLC should be developed as MAS Holdings.
Both Internal recruitment and external recruitment are done by MAS Holdings. In case it is provided opportunity to internal and external candidates equally. Head hunting is a good method to recruit knowledgeable and experienced people to top level and middle level management of MAS Holdings. Recruitment and selection are done under two categories is help to continue healthy employee relations and decrease the issues within MAS Holdings. According to the authors’ opinion have suggested MAS Holdings should introduce selection technique under second category for internal candidates. However both companies should be developed their selection techniques with the development of technologies.
