Selection focuses on evaluating and choosing the right candidate for a specific position within an organization. Recruiters, on the other hand, actively seek out and attract candidates, often working for agencies or multiple clients. While both roles involve hiring, Selection is more about decision-making after candidate sourcing, whereas Recruiter emphasizes candidate sourcing and outreach.
