CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist. Usually, the recruitment process starts when a manger initiates an employee requisition for a specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy. Definition: According to Plumbey, The focus of recruitment is on matching the capabilities & inclination of prospective candidates against the demands & rewards inherent in a given job. Recruitment means to, Finding the talent to meet the organization hiring needs Edwin B.Flippo, defined recruitment as, Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees & stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization. 4 ps of recruitment Product: What position the recruitment department trying to fill? What do they offer to potential candidates? Who else is trying to hire similar candidates & how can the team gain a competitive advantage?

Price: How much the organization is willing to pay top quality candidates? Is it more or less than competitor?

Person: What is the target market? What type of candidates organization trying to hire? What competencies are needed for filling the jobs? What does the ideal candidate look like for this company?

Promotion: Where can your ideal candidates are found? How will candidates know about job opening and how they encourage applying?

RECRUITMENT NEEDS ARE OF THREE TYPES PLANNED i.e. the needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy. ANTICIPATED anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment. UNEXPECTED Resignation, deaths, accidents, illness give rise to unexpected needs

Recruitment is a challenge in an organization The critical work of any high growth organization is to attracting, hiring & retaining the right talent. Add a right player in a team is a key source of competitive advantage while attract the wrong talent will have to meet the difficulty to acquired the strategic goal & objective. Hire a wrong person resulting in high attrition rate, misrepresent the company policy, procedure & organization will not even know that what harm done to the organization public image Recruitment: return on investment (ROI) Recruitment return on investment (ROI) understands and compares the elements, costs and risks of a recruitment related project to the expected benefits. Recruitment ROI can assist in building a business case for the organizations decision makers to evaluate the benefits and estimated return on the investment to upgrade an organizations recruitment function. SELECTION Definition of selection: Selection is the process of picking individual (out of the pool of job applicants) with requisite qualification and competence to fill jobs in the organization. Selection of

personnel to man to organization is a crucial, complex & continuing function. The selection procedure is the system of functions & devices adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidates specifications are matched with job specification & requirement or not. Selection as a source of competitive advantage: The role of selection in an organizations effectiveness is crucial for two reasonsFirst, work performance depends on individuals. The best way to improve performance is to hire people who have the competence and the willingness to work, thus inappropriate choice can be demoralizing & de-motivating the rest of the workforce. Second, cost incurred in recruiting & hiring personnel speaks volumes about the role of selection. It clears that cost of wrong selection is much greater than no selection. According to Kilibarda & Fonda, Unclear use of recruitment & selection design might lead to Type-1 error Not selecting the right candidate & Type- 2 error Selecting the wrong candidate. Sources of Recruitment and Selection Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment processes from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources within the organization itself (like transfer of employees from one department to

other, promotions) to fill a position are known as the internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of recruitment. SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Internal Sources:1. TRANSFERS:The employees are transferred from one department to another according to their efficiency and experience 2. PROMOTIONS:The employees are promoted from one department to another with more benefits and greater responsibility based on efficiency and experience

3. Upgrading and Demotion Others are of present employees according to their performance. 4. Retired and Retrenched Employees may also be recruited once again in case of shortage of qualified personnel or increase in load of work. Recruitment such people. Save time and costs of the organizations as the people are already aware of the organizational culture and the policies and procedures. 5. Deceased employees and Disabled employees The dependents and relatives of are also done by many companies so that the members of the family do not become dependent on the mercy of others. External Sources:-

10

1. PRESS ADVERTISEMENTS Advertisements of the vacancy in newspapers and journals are a widely used source of recruitment. The main advantage of this method is that it has a wide reach. 2. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES Various management institutes, engineering colleges, medical Colleges etc. are a good source of recruiting well qualified executives, engineers, medical staff etc. They provide facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source is known as Campus Recruitment. 3. PLACEMENT AGENCIES Several private consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf of client companies by charging a fee. These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) 4. EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE Government establishes public employment exchanges throughout the country. These exchanges provide job information to job seekers and help employers in identifying suitable candidates. 5 .LABOUR CONTRACTORS

11

Manual workers can be recruited through contractors who maintain close contacts with the sources of such workers. This source is used to recruit labour for construction jobs. 6 .UNSOLICITED APPLICANTS Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such callers are considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can help in creating the talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the organization. 7. EMPLOYEE REFERRALS / RECOMMENDATIONS Many organizations have structured system where the current employees of the organization can refer their friends and relatives for some position in their organization. Also, the office bearers of trade unions are often aware of the suitability of candidates. Management can inquire these leaders for suitable jobs. In some organizations these are formal agreements to give priority in recruitment to the candidates recommended by the trade union. 8. RECRUITMENT AT FACTORY GATE Unskilled workers may be recruited at the factory gate these may be employed whenever a permanent worker is absent. More efficient among these may be recruited to fill permanent vacancies. RECRUITMENT PROCESS The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and

12

the strategic advantage for the organizations. Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows Identifying the vacancy: The recruitment process begins with the human resource department receiving requisitions for recruitment from any department of the company. These contain: Posts to be filled Number of persons Duties to be performed Qualifications required

Preparing the job description and person specification. Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees (Advertising etc).

Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required characteristics.

Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates. Conducting the interview and decision making

13

1. Identify vacancy 2. Prepare job description and person specification 3. Advertising the vacancy 4. Managing the response 5. Short-listing 6. Arrange interviews 7. Conducting interview and decision making

14

The recruitment process is immediately followed by the selection process i.e. the final interviews and the decision making, conveying the decision and the appointment formalities. SELECTION PROCESS 1. Initial screening interview 2. Completion of the application form 3. Employment tests 4. Comprehensive interview 5. Background investigation 6. Conditional job offer 7. Medical/physical exam 8. Permanent job offer

MODERN SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT A number of modern recruitment sources are being used by the corporate sector in addition to traditional sources. These sources are divided into internal and external. Internal source include employee referrals. EMPLOYEE REFERRALS: Present employees are well aware of the

qualifications, attitudes, experience and emotions of their friends and relatives. They are also aware of the job requirements and organizational culture of their company. As such, they can make preliminary judgment regarding the match between the job and their friends or relatives.

15

Hence, the HR managers of the company depend on the present employees for reference of the candidates for various jobs. This source reduces the cost and time required for recruitment. Further this source enhances the effectiveness of recruitment. The other category of modern source is external sources.

WALK-IN: The busy organizations and the rapid changing companies do not find time to perform various functions of recruitment. Therefore, they advise the potential candidates to attend for an interview directly and without a prior application on a specified date, time and a specified place.

CONSULT-IN: The busy and dynamic companies encourage the potential job seekers to approach them personally and consult them regarding the jobs. The companies select the suitable candidates from among such candidates through the selection process

HEADHUNTING: - The companies request the professional organizations to search for the best candidates particularly for the senior executive positions. The professional organizations search for the most suitable candidates and advice the company regarding the filling up of the positions. Headhunters are also called search consultants.

E-RECRUITMENT:-The technological revolution in telecommunications helped organizations to use the Internet as a source of recruitment. Organizations advertise the job vacancies through the World Wide Web (www). The job seekers send their applications through e-mail using the

16

Internet. Alternatively, the job seekers place their CVs in the worldwide web/internet, which can be drawn by the prospective employers depending upon their requirements.

OUTSOURCING: - Some organizations recently started developing human resource pool by employing the candidates for them.

Recruitment and Selection Policy of a Company In todays rapidly changing business environment, a well defined recruitment policy is necessary for organizations to respond to its human resource requirements in time. Therefore, it is important to have a clear and concise recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to recruit the best talent pool for the selection of the right candidate at the right place quickly. Creating a suitable recruitment policy is the first step in the efficient hiring process. A clear and concise recruitment policy helps ensure a sound recruitment process. It specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of recruitment programmed. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programmers and procedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people. COMPONENTS OF THE RECRUITMENT POLICY

CHAPTER-3 LITERATURE REVIEW


RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS Recruitment is defined as, a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce. Edwin B. Flippo defined recruitment as the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. Recruitment is a linking function-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs. It is a joining process in that it tries to bring together job seekers and employer with a view to encourage the former to apply for a job with the latter. A few definitions of recruitment are: A process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected. It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force. Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a pool of prospective employees for the organisation so that the management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the selection process.

39

Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist. Usually, the recruitment process Steelts when a manager initiates an employee requisition for a specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy. RECRUITMENT NEEDS ARE OF THREE TYPES PLANNED i.e. the needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy. ANTICIPATED Anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment. UNEXPECTED Resignation, deaths, accidents, illness give rise to unexpected needs. In order to attract people for the jobs, the organization must communicate the position in such a way that job seekers respond. To be cost effective, the recruitment process should attract qualified applicants and provide enough information for unqualified persons to self-select themselves out. Thus, the recruitment process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.

40

PURPOSES AND IMPORTANCE Attract and encourage more and more candidates to apply in the organisation. Create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates for the organisation. Determine present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its personnel planning and job analysis activities. Recruitment is the process which links the employers with the employees. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. Help increase the success rate of selection process by decreasing number of visibly under qualified or overqualified job applicants. Help reduce the probability that job applicants once recruited and selected will leave the organization only after a short period of time. Meet the organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its workforce. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates. Increase organization and individual effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources for all types of job applicants

41

Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decide whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and well-managed recruiting effort will result in high-quality applicants, whereas, a haphazard and piecemeal effort will result in mediocre ones. High-quality employees cannot be selected when better candidates do not know of job openings, are not interested in working for the company and do not apply. The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about employment opportunities, create a positive image of the company, provide enough information about the jobs so that applicants can make comparisons with their qualifications and interests, and generate enthusiasm among the best candidates so that they will apply for the vacant positions. The negative consequences of a poor recruitment process speak volumes about its role in an organization. The failure to generate an adequate number of reasonably qualified applicants can prove costly in several ways. It can greatly complicate the selection process and may result in lowering of selection standards. The poor quality of selection means extra cost on training and supervision. Furthermore, when recruitment fails to meet the organizational needs for talent, a typical response is to raise entry-level pay scales. This can distort traditional wage and salary relationships in the organization, resulting in avoidable consequences. Thus, the effectiveness of a recruitment process can play a major role in determining the resources that must be expended on other HR activities and their ultimate success.

SUB-SYSTEMS OF RECRUITMENT The recruitment process consists of the following four sub-functions: Finding out and developing the sources where the required number and kind of employees will be available. Developing suitable techniques to attract the desirable candidates. Employing the techniques to attract candidates. Stimulating as many candidates as possible and asking them to apply for jobs irrespective of the number of candidates required. Management has to attract more candidates in order to increase the selection ratio so that the most suitable candidate can be selected out of the total candidates available. Recruitment is positive as it aims at increasing the number of applicants and selection is somewhat negative as it selects the suitable candidates in which process; the unsuitable candidates are automatically eliminated. Though, the function of recruitment seems to be easy, a number of factors make performance of recruitment a complex one. SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT Before an organization activity begins recruiting applicants, it should consider the most likely source of the type of employee it needs. Some companies try to develop new sources, while most only try to tackle the existing sources they have. These sources, accordingly, may be termed as internal and external.

STEPS IN SELECTION PROCEDURE There is no shortcut to an accurate evaluation of a candidate. The hiring procedures are, therefore, generally long and complicated. Many employers make use of such techniques and pseudo-sciences as phrenology, physiognomy, astrology, graphology etc., while coming to hiring decisions. However, in modern times, these are considered to be unreliable measures.

Preliminary interview

Receiving applications

Screening applications

Employment tests

Interview

Rejection

Reference checking

Medical examination

FINAL SELECTION

Every candidate for the job has to clear a number of hurdles before getting selected for the job. If he is not found suitable at any stage, he is not considered for the further stages. Thus, he will be rejected. For instance, if a candidates particulars in the application are not found suitable, he will not be called for the tests. Similarly, if a candidate fails in the tests, he will not be called for the interview. The following is a popular procedure through it may be modified to suit individual situation:

about an applicants background and life history; 3. A sell conducted interview to explore the facts and get at the

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS


The suggestions and recommendations are made by comparing the observed data with the theoretical data, and also from the findings of the survey. During my tenure of summer training I studied a complete review of recruitment & selection process in B.C.L. & I found that the system is efficient & well organized. But as my subject concerned to finding the opportunities of improvement, I m responsible to finding certain loopholes in which improvements can be done. There has been problem of unethical /fake candidates who keep posting resumes by changing their name, date of birth etc. Therefore HRD needs to be upgraded by making it mandatory that the candidates previous companys employee number is also made as primary key. The people whoever join newly should be given adequate orientation with the process and the tools In order to avoid lengthy cycles, proper training should be given to the team members of recruitment team. The interactions should take place between the Business heads and the recruitment team. During this process I have suggested to implement Modern ways of recruitment assisted by the online screening test.
