INTRODUCTION
TO
THE
HUMAN RESOURCE

14
1. INTRODUCTION TO THE HR :
1.1 Introduction: In Human Resources Management cycle as well as in any
organization recruitment and selection plays an important and vital role in achieving the
organizational vision, mission goals and objectives. Recruitment and selection is the
critical resource of the organization which is the staffing function. The primary goal of
staffing is to get the right people for the company to operate effectively and efficiently.
Before recruitment and selection we have to analyze the external environment and
examine its internal situation to develop human resource plans considering any new
requirement and existing vacant positions. Getting the right people interested in applying
for a job at a company is the core of recruitment.
All recruitment and selection should be based on organization’s approved human
resources plan. HRM department should assist line managers to develop their human
resource plans effectively. Based on the recruitment information from all units, HRM
department must analyze human resource plans of different units and develop a master
plan for the organization. To conduct recruitment efficiently, it is better to split the
recruitment in month order, HRM department should process the recruitment after
checking with budget provision and final approval from the top management.

1.2 Background of The study: It is important to have a well defined recruitment

policy in place, which can be executed effectively to get the best fits for the vacant

15
 positions. Selecting the wrong candidate or rejecting the right candidate could turn out to
be costly mistakes for the organization.

 Importance of the Study: A misfit who is not in tune with the

organization’s philosophies and goals can damage production, customer
satisfaction, relationship with suppliers and the overall quality or work. He can
also adversely affect the morale and commitment of co-works and negate efforts
to foster team work. Training way out of a wrong hire can be very expensive.

RECRUITMENT

AND

SELECTION PROCESS

INTRODUCTION:

23
Human resource is an important corporate asset and the overall performance of company
depends on the way it is put to use. In order to realize company objectives, it is essential to
recruit people with requisite skills, qualification and experience. While doing so we need to keep
present and future requirements of company in mind.

Successful recruitment methods include a thorough analysis of the job and the labour market
conditions. Recruitment is almost central to any management process and failure in recruitment
can create difficulties for any company including an adverse effect on its profitability and
inappropriate levels of staffing or skills. Inadequate recruitment can lead to labour shortages, or
problems in management decision making.

Recruitment is however not just a simple selection process but also requires management
decision making and extensive planning to employ the most suitable manpower. Competition
among business organizations for recruiting the best potential has increased focus on innovation,
and management decision making and the selectors aim to recruit only the best candidates who
would suit the corporate culture, ethics and climate specific to the organization.

The process of recruitment does not however end with application and selection of the right
people but involves maintaining and retaining the employees chosen. Despite a well drawn plan
on recruitment and selection and involvement of qualified management team, recruitment
processes followed by companies can face significant obstacles in implementation. Theories of
HRM may provide insights on the best approaches to recruitment although companies will have
to use their in house management skills to apply generic theories within specific organizational
contexts.

 2.1 RECRUITMENT

24
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.” In simple words recruitment can be
defined as a ‘linking function’-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs.

PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE

The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates.
Specifically, the purposes and needs are: 

• Determine the present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its
personnel-planning and job-analysis activities.

• Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.

 • Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the 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

 • Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates.

• Induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the company.

• Infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization.

• Develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company.

• Search for talent globally and not just within the company.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS :

25
 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 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

26
 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. 

 FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT

The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment:

1. Internal Factors:

• Recruiting policy

• Temporary and part-time employees • Recruitment of local citizens

• Engagement of the company in HRP

• Company’s size

• Cost of recruitment

• Company’s growth and expansion

2. External Factors:

• Supply and Demand factors

• Unemployment Rate

• Labour-market conditions

• Political and legal considerations

• Social factors

• Economic factors

• Technological factors

27
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
The sources of recruitment may be broadly divided into two categories: internal sources and
external sources. Both have their own merits and demerits.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT

Internal Methods:

1. Promotions and Transfers: This is a method of filling vacancies from internal

resources of the company to achieve optimum utilization of a staff members skills and
talents. Transfer is the permanent lateral movement of an employee from one position to
another position in the same or another job class assigned to usually same salary range.
Promotion, on the other hand is the permanent movement of a staff member from a
position in one job class to a position in another job class of increased responsibility or
complexity of duties and in a higher salary range.
2.  Job Posting: Job Posting is an arrangement in which a firm internally posts a list of
open positions (with their descriptions and requirements) so that the existing employees
who wish to move to different functional areas may apply. It is also known as Job
bidding. It helps the qualified employees working in the organization to scale new
heights, instead of looking for better perspectives outside. It also helps organization to
retain its experienced and promising employees.
3.  Employee Referrals: It is a recruitment method in which the current employees are
encouraged and rewarded for introducing suitable recruits from among the people they
know. The logic behind employee referral is that “it takes one to know one”.

28
Benefits of this method are as follows:

• Quality Candidates

• Cost savings

• Faster recruitment cycles

• Incentives to current employees

On the other hand it is important for an organization to ensure that nepotism or favoritism does
not happen, and that such aspects do not make inroads into the recruitment process.

External Methods:

External methods of recruitment are again divided into two categories-

Direct External Recruitment Methods

1. Campus Recruitment In Campus Recruitment, Companies / Corporate visit some of the

most important Technical and Professional Institutes in an attempt to hire young
intelligent and smart students at source. It is common practice for Institutes today to hire
a Placement Officer who coordinates with small, medium and large sized Companies and
helps in streamlining the entire Campus Recruitment procedure.

Benefits of Campus Recruitment

• Companies get the opportunity to choose from and select the best talent in a short span of
time.

• Companies end up saving a lot of time and efforts that go in advertising vacancies,
screening and eventually selecting applicants for employment.

• College students who are just passing out get the opportunity to present themselves to
some of the best companies within their industry of interest. Landing a job offer while still in
college and joining just after graduating is definitely what all students dream of. On the
negative front, campus recruiting means hiring people with little or no work experience. 

29
Indirect External Recruitment Methods

1. Advertisements: Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment.

They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment
fairs) and should include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay
package, location, job description, how to apply-either by CV or application form, etc).
Where a business chooses to advertise will depend on the cost of advertising and the
coverage needed i.e. how far away people will consider applying for the job.

2. Third Party Methods:

• Walk-ins: Walk-ins is relatively inexpensive, and applicants may be filed and processed
whenever vacancies occur. Walk-ins provide an excellent public relations opportunity
because well-treated applicants are likely to inform others. On the other hand, walk-ins show
up randomly, and there may be no match with available openings. This is particularly true for
jobs requiring specialized skills.

• Public and private employment agencies: Public and private employment agencies are
established to match job openings with listings of job applicants. These agencies also classify
and screen applicants. Most agencies administer work-sample tests, such as typing exams, to
applicants.

• E-Recruiting: There are many methods used for e-recruitment, some of the important
methods are as follows:

a. Job boards: These are the places where the employers post jobs and search for candidates.
One of the disadvantages is, it is generic in nature.

b. Employer web sites: These sites can be of the company owned sites, or a site developed
by various employers.

c. Professional websites: These are for specific professions, skills and not general in nature.

• Gate Hiring and Contractors: The concept of gate hiring is to select people who
approach on their own for employment in the organization. This happens mostly in the case

30
 of unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Gate hiring is quite useful and convenient method at
the initial stage of the organization when large number of such people may be required by the
organization.

 MERITS AND DEMERITS OF

‘RECRUITING PEOPLE FROM ‘WITHIN’
 Merits
1) Economical: The cost of recruiting internal candidates is minimal. No expenses are
incurred on advertising.

2) Suitable: The organization can pick the right candidates having the requisite skills. The
candidate can choose a right vacancy where their talents can be fully utilized.

3) Reliable: The organization has the knowledge about suitability of a candidate for a
position. ‘Known devils are better than unknown angels!’

4) Satisfying: A policy of preferring people from within offers regular promotional avenues
for employees. It motivates them to work hard and earn promotions. They will work with
loyalty commitment and enthusiasm.

 Demerits
1) Limited Choice: The organization is forced to select candidates from a limited pool. It
may have to sacrifice quality and settle down for less qualified candidates.

2) Inbreeding: It discourages entry for talented people, available outside an organization.

Existing employees may fail to behave in innovative ways and inject necessary dynamism to
enterprise activities .

3) Inefficiency: Promotions based on length of service rather than merit, may prove to be a
blessing for inefficient candidate. They do not work hard and prove their worth.

31
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF RECRUITMENT MODELS:
Different companies have different hiring needs. So depending on level of engagement,
exclusivity, long term prospects and other factors many different recruitment models are
followed in the market.

Different recruitment models:

• Contingency Hiring

• Retained Search

• Exclusive Recruitment

• Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

• Outplacement

• Executive Search

CONTINGENCY HIRING: In contingency hiring whenever a company comes across any

recruitment it gives it to many consultants at the same time and asks all of them to send
resumes. Only the consultant whose candidate is offered gets money from the company. Here
recruiters don’t get any assured and fixed salary. Their revenue depends entirely on whether
they can make offers or not. As risk factor is high here, consultants charge more percentage
for such type of recruitment. Generally company pays in terms of a specific percentage of
CTC of the candidate. This is the most prevalent way of recruitment.

RETAINED SEARCH: Here a recruitment consultant works exclusively for a specific

requirement and payment is divided into two parts. He is paid a fixed amount by the
company for search activity. It is called retainer fee. Other than that if he makes offer he gets
more money. For recruitment of senior executives like CEO, Sales head very focused
approach is required, so this method is preferred.

32
EXCLUSIVE REQUIREMENTS: Sometimes companies give some requirements
exclusively to recruiters. Here recruiter assures the client to close the position with specific
date, if he can’t close the position by that time he needs to either close to the position with
lesser commission or bear some other penalty. All the conditions are clearly decided before
the contract. Here percentage of commission is less than contingency hiring because there is
no competition.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING (RPO):

 RPO model is gaining lot of popularity recently. Here a company outsources whole
recruitment process to another consultant. Some people from the consultant side seat in the
company itself and manage the whole process by themselves. The sources can either’s it in
the client place or in their own office. Here RPO partner is responsible for closing all the
requirements. They take care of the whole recruitment process right from sourcing,
scheduling, interviews, and offer to join. The benefit for the company is that-they don’t have
to manage their own recruitment team which reduces costs. But on the other hand risk is
high, because if consultants don’t understand the company culture and hiring plans properly
it can get disastrous also. So companies should be careful while choosing recruitment
partners. Because we are talking about high scale and longer duration engagement here.

OUTPLACEMENT: Outplacements come into picture during recession period. Here if a

company wants to lay off some people employees to cut costs, they can hire a consultant to
place those employees in other companies. The recruitment cost is borne by the current
employer. Outplacement is not very popular till now.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH: Executive search teams only focus on senior level i.e. CEO, CTO,
Sales head and similar kind of requirements. Method of sourcing for such positions is quite
different from junior level of requirements. Here number of potential candidates is less and
they don’t prefer to show their resumes on the portals. So head-hunting’ searching in
networking sites and personal networks help a lot. For such requirements commission is
much higher. Executive search teams do retained search activity also.

Other than the above models recruitment can be divided in other two types.

33
• Permanent Recruitment

• Contract or temporary staffing

Permanent staffing: Here after recruitment the candidate stays in the company payroll as
a permanent employee.

Temporary staffing: In case of temporary staffing/ contract staffing the candidate

remains in the payroll of the consultant and works with the company for a limited time
period. Companies generally prefer this model if the project is small or uncertain. Again it
reduces their long term costs also. So this model is gaining good popularity now a day.

Both permanent and temporary staffing can be applied to all the above recruitment models. 

THEORIES AND POLICIES OF RECRUITMENT AND

SELECTION

Theories:

1. Objective theory

1) Assumes applicants use a very rational method for making decisions

2) Thus, the more information you can give them (e.g. salaries, benefits, working condition,
etc), the better applicants weight these factors to arrive at a relative “desirability” index

2. Subjective theory

1) Assumes applicants are not rational, but respond to social or psychological needs (e.g.
security, achievement, affiliation)

34
2) Thus, play to these needs by highlighting job security or opportunities for promotion or
collegiality of work group, etc.

3. Critical Contact theory

1) Assumes key attractor is quality of contact with the recruiter or recruiter behavior, e.g.
(promptness, warmth, follow-up calls, sincerity, etc.)

2) Research indicates that more recruiter contact enhances acceptance of offer, also
experienced recruiter (e.g. middle-aged) more successful than young or inexperienced
recruiter - may be especially important when recruiting ethnic minorities, women, etc.

Policies:

Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy of the same
organization. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into consideration the
government’s reservation policy, policy regarding sons of soil, etc., personnel policies of
other organizations regarding merit, internal sources, social responsibility in absorbing
minority sections, women, etc .

Specific issues which may be addressed in Recruitment Policy:

1) Statement : Nondiscrimination (EEO employer) or particular protected class members

that may be sought for different positions (see also Affirmative Action guidelines) 
2) Position description: Adherence to job description (& qualifications) in recruitment &
selection -BFOQ’s -bonafide occupational qualifications
3) How to handle special personnel in recruitment/selection: e.g. relatives (nepotism)
veterans (any special advancement toward retirement for military experience?), rehires
(special consideration? vacation days or other prior benefits?), part-time or temporary
personnel (special consideration? benefits?)
4) Recruitment budget/expenses: what is covered? Travel, Lodging/meals, Staff travel to
recruit, relocation, expenses, etc.

35
 5) Others:

a. Residency requirement in district?

b. Favors, special considerations related to recruitment? - e.g. get spouse a job?

INDUCEMENTS TO RECRUITMENT
Organizational inducements are all the positive features and benefits offered by an organization
that serves to attract job applicants to the organization. Three inducements need specific mention
here, they are:-

• Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases, incentives and fringe

benefits can all serve as inducements to potential employees.
• Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow personally and
professionally and also attract good people to the organization. The feeling that the
company takes care of employee career aspirations serves as a powerful inducements to
potential employees.
• Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organization’s reputation include its general
treatment of employees, the nature and quality of its products and services and its
participation in worthwhile social endeavors.

CONSTRAINTS
• Poor image: If the image of the firm is perceived to be low( due to factors like
operation in the declining industry, poor quality products, nepotism etc), the likelihood of
attracting large number of qualified applicants is reduced.
• Unattractive jobs: if the job to be filled is not very attractive, most prospective
candidates may turn indifferent and may not even apply. This is especially true of job that
is boring, anxiety producing, devoid of career growth opportunities and generally not
rewards performance in a proper way (e.g. jobs in post office and railways).

36
 • Government policy: Government policies often come in the way of recruitment as per
the rules of company or on the basis of merit and seniority. Policies like reservations
(scheduled castes, scheduled tribe etc) have to be observed.
 • Conservative internal policies: Firms which go for internal recruitments or where
labour unions are very active, face hindrances in recruitment and selection planning. 

2.2 SELECTION

Introduction

The size of the labour market, the image of the company, the place of posting, the nature
of job, the compensation package and a host of other factors influence the manner of
aspirants are likely to respond to the recruiting efforts of the company. Through the
process of recruitment the company tries to locate prospective employees and encourages

37
them to apply for vacancies at various levels. Recruiting, thus, provides a pool of
applicants for selection.

Definition

To select means to choose. Selection is the process of picking individuals who have
relevant qualifications to fill jobs in an organization. The basic purpose is to choose the
individual who can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified
candidates.

Purpose

The purpose of selection is to pick up the most suitable candidate who would meet the
requirements of the job in an organization best, to find out which job applicant will be
successful, if hired. To meet this goal, the company obtains and assesses information
about the applicants in terms of age, qualifications, skills, experience, etc. the needs of
the job are matched with the profile of candidates. The most suitable person is then
picked up after eliminating the unsuitable applicants through successive stages of
selection process. How well an employee is matched to a job is very important because it
is directly affects the amount and quality of employee’s work. Any mismatch in this
regard can cost an organization a great deal of money, time and trouble, especially, in
terms of training and operating costs. In course of time, the employee may find the job
distasteful and leave in frustration. He may even circulate negative information about the
company, causing incalculable harm to the company in the long run. Effective election,
therefore, demands constant monitoring of the ‘fit’ between people the job.

The Process

Selection is usually a series of hurdles or steps. Each one must be successfully cleared
before the applicant proceeds to the next one. The time and emphasis place on each step
will definitely vary from one organization to another and indeed, from job to job within
the same organization. The sequence of steps may also vary from job to job and
organization to organization. For example some organizations may give more importance
to testing while others give more emphasis to interviews and reference checks. Similarly

38
 a single brief selection interview might be enough for applicants for lower level positions,
while applicants for managerial jobs might be interviewed by a number of people. 

STEPS IN SELECTION PROCESS 

 selection process or selection procedure involves a series of steps to be followed for choosing
the suitable person for the vacant job. This process starts after recruitment and divides the
candidates in two parts those who will be offered job and those will not be. There is a need of
well-organized selection process because only then right type of candidate can be selected and
unsuitable candidates are rejected. The selection process varies from organization to organization
and even from department to department within the same organization. Like in some
organizations medical examination is done after final selection while in other it may be done
before final selection. However every organization designs the selection process as per its need.
The main selection process steps are:

1. Preliminary interview: The selection process generally starts with this step where the
totally unsuitable applicant is eliminated. Thus the organization is saved from the expenses of
processing the applicant through the remaining steps of selection. The candidates who pass this
step are only asked to fill the application form.
2. Receiving applications: After passing the preliminary interview the candidate is asked to
fill the standard application form. The application form generally consists the information about
the age, qualification, experience etc. of the candidate on the basis of which the interviewer gets
the idea about the candidate and this information also helps in formulating questions.
3. Screening of applications: After receiving the applications the screening committee
screens the applications. Only the candidates who qualify the criteria of the screening committee
are called for the interview. Usually the candidates selected for interview are four to six times
than the number of posts. Interview letter is sent to them or they are called telephonically.

39
4.Employment test: After getting the interview letter and before going to the interview there
is one more step and that is the employment tests. These tests are done to check the ability of the
candidate. These tests vary from organization to organization and change as per the need of the
particular job. these tests are intelligence tests, aptitude tests, trade tests, interest test, personality
tests etc. these tests must be designed properly otherwise they will not good indicator of one
knowledge.  
Some of them are
1. Intelligence Tests: These are mental ability tests. They measure the incumbent’s learning
ability and the ability to understand instructions and make judgments. The basic objective of
such test is to pick up employees who are alert and quick at learning things so that they can be
offered adequate training to improve their skills for the benefit of the organization.
2. Aptitude Test: Aptitude test measure an individual’s potential to learn certain skills- clerical,
mechanical, mathematical, etc. These tests indicate whether or not an individual has the
capabilities to learn a given job quickly and efficiently. In order to recruit efficient office staff,
aptitude tests are necessary
3. Personality Test: The definition of personality, methods of measuring personality factors and
the relationship between personality factors and actual job criteria has been the subject of much
discussion. Researchers have also questioned whether applicants answer all the items truthfully

40
or whether they try to respond in a socially desirable manner. Regardless of these objections,
many people still consider personality as an important component of job success.
4. Simulation Tests: Simulation exercise is a tests which duplicate many of the activities and
problems an employee faces while at work.
 5. Graphology Test: Graphology involves using a trained evaluator to examine the lines, loops,
hooks, stokes, curves and flourishes in a person’s handwriting to assess the person’s personality
and emotional make-up.6. Polygraph (Lie-Detector) tests: the polygraph records physical
changes in the body as the tests subject answers a series of questions. It records fluctuations in
respiration, blood pressure and perspiration on a moving roll of graph paper. The polygraph
operator forms a judgment as to whether the subject’s response was truthful or deceptive by
examining the biological movements recorded on the paper.

TEST AS SELECTION TOOL:

Tests are useful selection devices in that they uncover qualifications and talents that can’t be
detected otherwise. They can be used to predict how well one would perform if one is hired, why
one behaves the way one does, what situational factors influence employee productivity, etc.
Tests also provide unbiased information that can be put to scientific and statistical analysis.

However, tests suffer from sizeable errors of estimate. Most psychological tests also have one
common weakness, that is, we can’t use scales which have a known zero point and equal
intervals. An intelligence test, for example starts at an arbitrary point, where a person may not be
able to answer question properly. This does not mean that the person is totally lacking in
intelligence. Likewise, a person who is able to answer all the10 questions correctly cannot be
called twice as intelligent as the one who was able to answer only 

5. Employment interview: The candidates who qualify the above tests are called for the
employment interview. This interview is done to get more information about the candidate, to
give him the actual picture of what is required from him, to check the communication skill of the
candidate etc. for senior position post; a panel is prepared who take the interview. At the end of
interview of each candidate the members of panel discuss about the candidate and give him the
grades.

41
There may be direct interview or indirect interview. The interview should be conducted in a
room free from the noise and disturbance only than the candidates will be able to speak freely
and frankly.

Types of interviews:

Several types of interviews are commonly used depending on the nature and importance of the
position to be filled within an organization.

In a non directive interview the recruiter asks questions as they come to mind. There is no
specific format to be followed.

In a patterned interview, the employer follows a pre-determined sequence of questions. Here

the interviewee is given a special form containing questions regarding his technical competence,
personality traits, attitudes, motivation, etc.

In a structured or situational interview, there are fixed job related questions that are presented
to each applicant. In a panel interview several interviewers question and seek answers from one
applicant. The panel members can ask new and incisive questions based on their expertise and
experience and elicit deeper and more meaningful expertise from candidates. Interviews can also
be designed to create a difficult environment where the applicant’s confidence level and the
ability to stand erect in difficult situations are put to test. These are referred to as the stress
interview. This is basically an interview in which the applicant is made uncomfortable by a series
of, often, rude, annoying or embarrassing questions.

Steps in interview process:

Interview is an art. It demands a positive frame of mind on part of the interviewers. Interviewers
must be treated properly so as to leave a good impression about the company in their minds. HR
experts have identified certain steps to be followed while conducting interviews:

42
PREPARATION:

• Establishing the objective of the interview

• Receiving the candidates application and resume

• Keeping tests score ready, along with interview assessment forms

• Selecting the interview method to be followed

• Choosing the panel of experts who would interview the candidates

• Identifying proper room for environment

6. Checking references: Before selecting the employ the prospective employee generally

look out for the referees given by the candidate. To check about the candidate’s past record,
reputation, police record etc.
7. Physical examination: The organizations generally prefer medical examination to be
incurred of the person to avoid time and expenditure spend on the medically unfit person.
Sometimes the organization may ask the candidate to get them examined from the medical
expert.
8. Final selection: After all these steps the candidate is selected finally. He is appointed by
issuing appointment letter. Initially he is appointed on probation basis after finding his work
satisfactory he is appointed as permanent employee of the organization or otherwise he may be
terminated.
 Thus, all the above said steps of selection are important for the appointment of right kind of
person for the right job.

STRATEGIES FOR SUCESSFUL RECRUITMENT STEP

43
1: ENSURE AN UP-TO-DATE JOB DESCRIPTION:

A clear, accurate and up-to-date job description is crucial to ensuring a good person-job fit. It is
worthwhile spending some time making sure that the job description matches the everyday
reality of the job.

2: EVALUATE THE RECRUITMENT STRATEGY:

periodically evaluating the effectiveness of your recruitment strategy, such as the type of sources
used for recruiting, can be a useful activity. For instance, a cost-benefit analysis can be done in
terms of the number of applicants referred, interviewed, selected, and hired. Comparing the
effectiveness of applicants hired from various sources in terms of job performance and
absenteeism is also helpful. One could also examine the retention rates of workers who were
hired from different sources.

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE SELECTION: 

The main objective of selection is to hire people having competence and commitment. This
objective is often defeated because of certain barriers. The impediments which check
effectiveness of selection are perception, fairness, validity, reliability, and pressure. 

PERCEPTION: Our inability to understand others accurately is probably the most fundamental
barrier to selecting right candidate. Selection demands an individual or a group to assess and
compare the respective competencies of others, with the aim of choosing the right persons for the
jobs. But our views are highly personalized. We all perceive the world differently. Our limited
perceptual ability is obviously a stumbling block to the objective and rational selection of
people. 

FAIRNESS: Fairness in selection requires that no individual should be discriminated against on

the basis of religion, region, race or gender. But the low number of women and other less
privileged sections of society in the middle and senior management positions and open
discrimination on the basis of age in job advertisements and in the selection process would
suggest that all the efforts to minimize inequity have not been very effective. 

44
VALIDITY: Validity, as explained earlier, is a test that helps predict job performance of an
incumbent. A test that has been validated can differentiate between the employees who can
perform well and those who will not. However, a validated test does not predict job success
accurately. It can only increase possibility of success. 

RELIABILITY: A reliable method is one which will produce consistent results when repeated
in similar situations. Like a validated test, a reliable test may fall to predict job performance with
precision. 

PRESSURE: Pressure is brought on the selectors by politicians, bureaucrats, relatives, friends,

and peers to select particular candidate. Candidates selected because of compulsions are
obviously not the right ones. Appointments to public sector undertakings generally take place
under such pressure

METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The title of present research is "Recruitment and Selection."

MEANING OF RESEARCH & DEFINITION

49
Research refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define research as a scientific and
systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. Research is an art of scientific
investigation. Systematized effort to gain new knowledge.

METHODOLOGY

Methodology can be defined as- ―The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and
postulates employed by a discipline. ―The systematic study of methods that are, can be or
have been applied within a discipline. ―A particular procedure or set of procedures
.Methodology includes a collection of theories, concepts or ideas as they relate to a particular
discipline or field of inquiry: Methodology refers to more than a simple set of methods; ]
rather it refers to the rationale and the philosophical assumptions that underlie a particular
study relative to the scientific method. This is why scholarly literature often includes a section
on the methodology of the researchers. This section does more than outline the researchers’
methods might explain what the researchers’ ontological or epistemological views are
.Another key (though arguably imprecise) usage for methodology does not refer to research or
to the specific analysis techniques. This often refers to anything and everything that can been
capsulated for a discipline or a series of processes, activities and tasks.

RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is simply the framework or plan for a study that is used as a guide in
collecting and analyzing the data. It is blueprint that is followed in completing a study. A
research design ensures that the study:

50
Will be relevant to the problem

Will employ economical procedure

TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

DESCRIPETIVE RESEARCH

It is typically concerned with determining the frequency with which something occurs or the
relationship between two variables. The descriptive study is typically guided by an initial
hypothesis. The objective of such a study is to answer the who, when and how of the subject
under investigation.

TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN USED

The current study is descriptive research with an applied bias. It explains the present industrial
scenario and the results of research work may be utilized to enhance efficiency in HR Practices
in Industrial Sector.

SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION

There are two types of sources:

1. Primary Sources

51
 2. Secondary Sources

I have used both the forms of sources to complete my research.

1. PRIMARY SOURCES

A primary source has been used for obtaining information regarding: facts and quasi-facts,
attitudes/options, awareness/knowledge, perception, intentions and behavior, demographic
and socioeconomic characteristics.

Primary data is the data collected by

1 Questionnaires

The survey instrument or the survey questionnaire contained a questions that encompassed the
objective of the research. Different employees and workers of the organisation are the population
of the study. The survey has been done on 10 employees having different designation and
working experience. With the help of online questionnaire form I am able to collect the
responses of the population within the few days.

2. SECONDARY SOURCES

Secondary source has played a vital role in this report. A good amount of data has been collected
from various books, internet, official website of the organisation and some of the published
reports.

 HR Manual of the organisation

 Official Website of The organisation
 Internet Sites

52
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
Structured well designed questionnaire is used to gather primary information. In it, questions
are presented with exactly the same wording and in exactly the same order, to all respondents.

RESEARCH APPROCH
Survey Research.

SAMPALING
It is an integral component of research design. It addresses three questions:

1. Whom to survey? (The sample unit)

2. How many to survey? (The sample size)

3. How to select? (The sampling procedure)

Sampling is necessary because it is almost impossible to examine the entire population.

Various factors such as time, efforts, money and purpose of study make it necessary for the
researcher to choose a sample.

The sample should be convenient in terms of size i.e. neither too large nor too small and
sampling unit must be a true representative of the universe. Besides this, sample should be
powerful i.e. the selection process is done keeping in view the objective of the problem.

The total sample size for survey was 10.

 FINDING

CONCLUSION

&

RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY:

In this study there were 10 employees of Pie Infocomm Pvt Ltd who responded to the
questionnaire. The answers provided by them were a positive response on the mode of
recruitment. They were satisfied/unsatisfied with the whole step by step process. There

66
was very little negative/positive response and were very few no opinions given by the
respondents over the whole process. So as a fresher they were satisfied with the process
and appreciate the transparency followed by Pie Infocomm Pvt Ltd in the recruitment
process. It is clear from the above that Pie Infocomm Pvt Ltd is adopting transparency
and well communicates recruitment process.  

FINDINGS:
Pie Infocomm Pvt have a lot of strengths in recruiting and selection procedure. Findings
derived from question-answer sample personnel as primary source and company’s book
and records as secondary source. Answer to some important questions on the subject
matters has been presented below:
 The lack of human resource Department but they have human resources
planning. Although after a certain time activities are not monitor properly.
 They have gone through the policy of recruitment and selection but no HR
budget on HR or HR planning.
 Their Job analysis process is not fair. Increment and incentive is depending on
their mental satisfaction. Their HR planning but any kind of dispute all staffs are
responsible for that. The luck of proper work distribution is the main reason
behind that.
 Requisition for employment is not measure accurately. So many qualified people
are recruited but they have a habit of negligence of responsibilities.
 They have informal selection process which is satisfied, but all existing staffs
need to co-ordinate properly by the right hand.
 The exiting procedures are very much time consuming.
 They do not allow any women as Board Member.
 They do not keep of finally rejected a resume which is very much important
 Their recruitment and selection transparent.

 No medical test, no orientation before final placement.

67
There have been no such weaknesses in recruiting and selection procedures which mean that they
are selecting right people for their organization. Always remember, educated and experienced
person can give extra ordinary performance all the time. But their evaluation, time to time
correlation and co-operation for betterment are necessary. By a proper process we can get better
but after selection it’s also mandatory to fulfill every expectation of the employees.

  LIMITATION:
As the research is based on a sample, therefore findings may not reveal the factual information
about the research problem, though an utmost care was taken to select the truly representative

68
sample. Carrying this survey was a great learning experience for me but I faced some problems,
which are listed below:

1. There is small sample size of the study due to organizational constraints.

2. Many of the respondents have not given proper response that makes the data collection
vague to certain extent.

3. The information that is provided by the individual may be biased.

4. Time constraint is the major constraint of the study.

5. Only a small part of industry and small sample size is taken only from the employees
working at Lucknow branch.

6. Respondents were reluctant to disclose complete and correct information about themselves
and the organization

7. Due to lack of awareness it is difficult to get proper data from the employees.

8. The most important point that survey was carried through Questionnaire and the Questions
were based on perception.

 CONCLUSION:
Materials, People, systems, tools, knowledge, management, equipment, processes, skill and
attitudes all are input for any king of production cycle in an organization. To increase

69
productivity of any organization they need to develop staffing process properly and consider the
following important ISSUES:

Planning Motivation Organizing Managerial Functions Staffing Directing Co-Coordinating

Controlling

Transformation of the demographic makes up of the workforce, including internationalization,

Quality of employee recruitment decision must be ensured, Recruitment and selection processes
are complex and involve human making so that, there should careful monitoring to minimize
subjectivity and ensure fairness, Human is the most dynamic resources for an organization,
getting the best person is a critical task, Recruitment and selection are an integral component of
human resources activities, which include employees training, development, compensation and
employee relation. To increase productivity, growth and progress, effective and dynamic
recruitment and selection procedures are essential. A qualified person is the beginning of better
performance. All organization needs a strong team to accomplish their goals and objectives.
Without proper recruitment and selection process, it’s too tough to build up dynamic working
group and successive atmosphere for all tasks. 

RECCOMANDATION:

70
To improve the present ‘Recruitment and Selection Policy” of Pie Infocomm Pvt Ltd the
following recommendations have been suggested:

 An ideal and independent HR Department should be functioned

 Every recruitment and selection process should be according to job analysis.
 Lengthy and time consuming should be Revised into their policy
 As an interviewer at least one women is to be added in the interview panel
 Manpower planning is to be established 

SUGGESTIONS:

71
  Entrepreneurs should go for campus placement on large scale as source of external
recruitment so that capable students make contribution in growth of Industry.
 During training procedure, entrepreneurs should give preference to job rotation
because in job rotation, employees feels some changes regarding place, environment
etc. and take more interest in their work.
 To make easy and congenial environment in organization, it is necessary that
entrepreneurs should interact with their supervisors on regular basis.
 To increase the efficiency of employees, it is necessary that entrepreneurs provide the
more facilities of counseling to their employees.
