Recruitment includes sourcing and selecting...it means hiring people to fill any vacant position in the company. Staffing is managing your existing manpower; reallocating and relocating your people as per the need of the company, assignment and project.

Staffing means fitting the right candidte at the right job. It includes matching of skills and knowledge of the employees with the requirements of the job, i.e. Job specification and Job description. Staffing is next step after recruitment and selection and may be on the basis of performance in various tests, interview etc.
