The project report is all about recruitment and selection process which is an
important part of any organization.
I have completed my summer internship at AAM AADMI PARTY for a time period of 6
weeks.
I was hired as an HR Manager (intern) for SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
DEPARTMENT.
I applied through INTERNSHALA where I got selected for the respective position.
Aam Aadmi Party is an Indian political party, formally launched on 26 November 2012,
and is currently the ruling party of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
It came into existence following differences between the activists Arvind
Kejriwal and Anna Hazare regarding whether or not to politicise the popular India
Against Corruption movement that had been demanding a Jan Lokpal Bill since 2011.
The party made its electoral debut in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election,
where it emerged as the second-largest party, winning 28 of the 70 seats.
In the 2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election, AAP won 67 of the 70 seats in the
assembly and is ruling since then
Nowadays, every organization necessitates personnel planning as one of the most vital
activities. Human Resource Planning is, by far, an essential ingredient for the success
of any organization in the long run.
The objectives of Human Resource Planning department include resource, planning,
recruitment and selection, career planning, training and development, promotions, risk
management, performance appraisal, to name a few. Each of these objectives requires
special attention and accurate planning and execution.
It is of utmost importance for every organization to employ a right person on a right
position. And recruitment and selection plays a pivotal role during such situation
With shortage of skills and the rapid spread of new technology exerting considerable
pressure on how employers perform recruitment and selection activities, it is
recommended to conduct a step-by-step strategic analysis of recruitment and selection
processes.
DEFINATION
Edwin Flippo defines Recruitment and selection process as "A process of searching for
prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an
organization.“
According to Korsten (2003) and Jones et al. (2006), Human Resource Management
theories emphasize on techniques of recruitment and selection and outline the benefits
of interviews, assessment and psychometric examinations as employee selection
process. They further stated that recruitment process may be internal or external or
may also be conducted online. Typically, this process is based on the levels of
recruitment policies, job postings and details, advertising, job application and
interviewing process, assessment, decision making, formal selection and training
(Korsten 2003).
Work by Hiltrop (1996):
Hiltrop (1996) was successful in demonstrating the relationship between the HRM
practices, HRM-organizational strategies as well as organizational performance. He
conducted his research on HR manager and company officials of 319 companies in
Europe regarding HR practices and policies of their respective companies and
discovered that employment security, training and development programs, recruitment
and selection, teamwork, employee participation, and lastly, personnel planning are the
most essential practices (Hiltrop 1999).
However, the process of recruitment does not cease with application of candidature
and selection of the appropriate candidates, but involves sustaining and retaining the
employees that are selected, as stated by Silzer et al. (2010).
Work of Silzer et al. (2010) was largely concerned with Talent management, and
through their work they were successful in resolving issues like whether or not talent is
something one can be born with or is it something that can be acquired through
development. According to Silzer et al (2010), that was a core challenge in designing
talent systems, facing the organization and among the senior management. The only
solution to resolve the concern of attaining efficient talent management was by
adopting fully-executable recruitment techniques.
Meaning:
Recruitment is a positive process of searching for prospective employees and
stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organisation. When more persons apply for
jobs then there will be a scope for recruiting better persons.
Definition:
According to Edwin B. Flippo, “It is a process of searching for prospective employees
and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an organisation.”
Meaning
Finding the interested candidates who have submitted their profiles for a particular job
is the process of recruitment, and choosing the best and most suitable candidates
among them is the process of selection. It results in elimination of unsuitable
candidates. It follows scientific techniques for the appropriate choice of a person for the
job.
The recruitment process has a wide coverage as it collects the applications of
interested candidates, whereas the selection process narrows down the scope and
becomes specific when it selects the suitable candidates.

Every company looks for an employee who can work effectively and efficiently.
They are in a search for a person who has the maximum skills for the required job.
After selecting the right person the company is now aiming for the right job for the
person. The main strength of an organization is its employees. Effective workers are
the best route to success. For this reason, company’s strive to attract and hire the
best, and to provide the best place to work.
Aam Aadmi Party has competent and committed workforce, still there are scope for
improvements. To ensure that the organization recruits the best people, it has to
identify the best essential skills and behaviors that applicants should demonstrate.
Management should structure and systematically organize the entire recruitment
processes. It should offer tolls and supports to enhance productivity, solutions and
optimizing the recruitment processes to ensure ROI. The recruitment management
system (RMS) should be such help that it helps to save the time and costs of the HR
recruiters in company and improving the recruitment process.
Aam Aadmi party should try to focus more on the grievances of the employees.
There should be weekly check that whether the interns are understanding the work
they are doing.
There should be a proper check that whether the employees or the interns are
satisfied with the assigned jobs.
The system of multiple bosses should come to an end as it creates a huge confusion
between the employees and interns about the work.
Assigning of tasks should be scheduled
