Human resources are the pivotal variable without which other inanimate assets are worthless. It is therefore the aim of the Human Resource department to get the right person with the right qualification, experiences and still in the right place and at the right time who will be able to manage effectively and efficiently all the other resources of the organisation. This research work tries to analyse and evaluate the problem of recruitment, selection and placement of employees in Institutions of Higher learning in Cameroon. The research employed quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design. Questionnaire was used to collect data from 331 respondents. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select the sample from the targeted population. Data processing was done using SPSS version 22. On the whole, based on the statistical results above, Universities in Cameroon are approved of the need for effective and efficient recruitment and selection in their institutions. From the analysis and findings, I will recommend that: The Human Resource department should be given a free hand to discharge its functions without undue interference and good recruitment and selection panel should be put in place to conduct the exercise so as to avoid the issue of favouritism, waste of resources and recruiting unqualified workers.
