Dear Poornima,
I believe that the exact position of induction in the HR workflow depends on the size and organization of the company. In most small companies, there is a single general HR department which handles everyday HR activities, recruitment as well as induction. In such cases, it is best if induction is treated as part of the recruitment & selection process.
In bigger firms, where there are separate recruitment teams, naturally the induction process gets separated and comes under the training department.

Dear All,
Different companies follow different policy for induction. Induction can be part of R&S and it can't be also it all depends upon how the company wants to utilize their manpower... for eg.. if any organization is doing bulk hiring induction will not be a part of R&S as their nos will be high and they will be occupied in achieving their month on month target and hence will not be able to delivery the induction programme where recruitment is less and pressure is not there induction can be a part of R&S process.... It all depends upon what type of strategy your organization follows.....

Hii Poornima,
Induction is the process which comes after recruitment and selection.
It is not at all a part of recruitment. The hiring process which we call as recruitment ends at selection of a candidate, It is the second step for an employee to know the company.
