EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The core objective of the internship is to fulfil the requirement of the B.com (Honours) program
as prescribed by the Lucknow University. An intern has to prepare project report at the end of the
internship period but the main objective of the internship is to get the hands-on experience of the
real world organization. The internship was completed with the objective of getting practical
knowledge in the HR department in Ifortis Worldwide.
Winning the workplace is important to win the marketplace and to make it happen the Human
Resources department plays a crucial role. In my tenure as a human resource manager trainee
I’ve learnt and gained experience that the best HR is a psychologist, peacemaker, leader ,lawyer
, mentor and the one who maintains the image of the company. The internship conducted was for
a great mission to make “Women Self Reliant” an empowering the globe being a part of it was
a pride to me where not only I was developing myself as a leader and polishing my leadership
skill but also making other women a leader an embracing the field of human .
The first responsibility which I was assigned on this seven week of internship period was to
recruit female HR trainees taking forward company’s mission. Secondly, I was allotted the work
to manage , guide and trained them .I’ve conducted various meeting with the HR trainees and
guided them along with that sent them the minutes of the meeting.
I communicated well with my mentor Mr. Rohit Naidu who is the CEO of the company, “Ifortis
Worldwide” and the Director to the parent company “American Ruler Private Limited”. I came
Page 7
to know a lot from him about the company and also learnt a lot from such a man who has
brought up such a unique and great idea to make a women self-reliant .I’m really inspired by the
way the entire internship program was conducted under his guidance, the way he conducted and
presented in the induction Program even in the meetings held, the way he communicated, time
management, his organised and systematic work.
As an intern, I realized that I was successful to gather a lot of significant learning experiences
which would be helpful in my future career. The HR Department of Ifortis Worldwide offered
me ample space and opportunities, not only to learn but also to exhibit my skills as a HR team
member. I could use my theoretical knowledge of HR in real practice while participating in many
discussions. I was actively involved in the Department meetings where I shared my knowledge
and views regarding the performance In HRD of Ifortis Worldwide.
I also attempted to gather more information on basic job functions of other departments to have
better understanding of the relation between the man the HR department. It was commendable to
see how whole heartedly they welcomed, acknowledged and appreciated new ideas and
knowledge.
I successfully completed all the assigned duties and handed them over to the senior supervisor at
the end of the internship. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that came along every single day. I
could also bring some minor improvisations during my Internship which were able to leave their
mark. These lessons that I have learned will be a valuable one for my future endeavours as well.

contributes nearly twice as much. On a comparative basis, the automobile sector contributes
about 8 per cent of the country’s GDP.
The IT industry’s revenues are at an estimated $190 billion, growing at 7.7 per cent on a year-on-

ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN
The internship aimed that making women self reliant. Therefore, only Female interns where
hired who had to lead their own team on behalf of The company. Company did the initial hiring
of HR trainees. Who further did the hiring of HR interns posting jobs through various social
media platforms and got promoted as a Human Resource manager trainee hence, the one and a
half week was given for recruitment. The remaining week of one and half month was to mentor,
guide and help the interns to do better.
I was directly hired by the company and was given the post of HRM trainee where I was the
direct reporting manager to my team of HR Trainees and a indirect manager to their team who
were marketing/sales and company ambassador interns. So, in total I was the manger of the 159
Interns.
The company not only aimed at making me a leader but also a leader through me and I worked
with the company for the same mission. It passionately aimed at making women of the nation
self-reliant.
It also paved the way for talents in entertainment segment where it launched a platform to
showcase it by coming up with an event called Aarambh which is the world’s and India’s largest
youth festival.
So as a HRM trainee I also had to make sure to make the event successful and do a good team
work by making sure I hire good interns train them well to hire good Marketing/sales and
company ambassadors interns who further make the events like Aarambh 3.0 and Arise
successful.
Page 23
Target: - The target for hiring of minimum 16 HR trainee was given. I had hired 70 later the
final team with me was 45 . This work was given to do in one work where we had to plan up our
recruitment strategy as in where to post the job and how i.e. to do a little bit of employer
branding. We were given an extension of one another week make our target accomplished. But I
had completed in the same time. Just to do be on safer side I kept hiring even in the extension
period and that was a fruitful decision by me.
I first went through my job description very well. My internship duration was for one month
which got extended for 45 days. I had attended the Orientation meet and the other meetings held
very sincerely and attentively to understand the company’s values, culture and environment .
I was pretty much impressed by the sessions held. I made my observations my learning and
started with my first week SOP that was to Recruit female interns. I then first searched for the
platforms where I can post and one best which will give me a large number of responses on my
job post. So I targeted LinkedIn and my college. I received around 100 plus responses. I gave
them the link to fill the Google form which i had created for the sake of knowing about them
more.
After then I screened the resumes as per the requirement of the company that was mentioned in
the job description and then I went for interviewing them. For Interviewing I drafted a
questionnaire as per Job Description and twisted it as when required and also added questions
accordingly so that I do selections very well.
Page 24
The questions drafted by me were,
Describe yourself
Your strengths and weakness and why do you feel so?
Have you participated in any extracurricular activities in school, college? If yes then how
did you coordinate?
Are you a HR student? If yes, then why did you select it? If not, then why did you come
for this internship?
Do you have any prior exposure to the field and specifically recruitment
Have you shown any kind of leadership quality? If yes! What all did You do? If not , if
got the opportunity how will you do?
I did telephonic interview. Those who did much good in the interview selected them on spot.
Those who were not so good I kept them on hold.
Later I shared the application form which they had to fill initially so that I could add them in my
company dashboard. I had learnt to use the company website and the dashboard when the
company conducted training on the same in the orientation and meetings held earlier. Once they
filled up the application form. I had to put them as HR trainee and add them in my group. After
then I was able to generate their login id and password. I drafted an email mentioned all the
details of the offer letter.
I explained them how to get the offer letter and all required. Then shared with them an on
boarding form, got it filled by them and then brought them on-board.
Page 25
I made an What’s App group adding all of them making a setting that only I the admin can
message regarding all important instructions and other communication over there as the company
protocol and later if any individual query contacting them personally and this was done so that
the mentor that is me and the n should know each other and develop compatibility and work
smoothly. So I kept in touch with each one of the mind individually and understood their
psychology with that I understood more about their calibre with which I got to understand on
whom I need to focus more and help them.
It was not easy to manage different minds. In such situations it was important to understand my
people and then do communication with them accordingly and bringing ego no where rather
keeping calm and being there for them whenever they needed.
I also conducted meetings for them on my own to explain them their SOP well. I also sent them
minutes of meeting for their reference. And also was available for them even after that for
doubts. I also trained few interns how to take interview and the questions to be framed and also
removed any kind of psychological barrier as for few this was their first internship or was not
from HR and MBA field. I am glad that I mentored well and made them complete their
internship successfully. After this I not only mentored them but also their team indirectly as on
company’s behalf I had to mentor them on each and every aspect.
Page 26
Achievements: -
I had achieved the target of 16 interns as assigned. I had received a lot of appreciation from my
interns saying I was the best mentor for the way I communicated, mentored, guided them and
was approachable to them. I not only polished my leadership and communication skills but also
helped my team to develop it. I also have received the certificate of excellence and stipend for
my Performance.
Limitations: -
At the time of recruitment as it was my first experience I was not aware of it much. So after
getting the responses when I Screened and called the candidate so at times it happened that they
already got interviewed by some other intern of my level and also taken in their group and my
time wasted for the same and also with this as I was thinking getting the responses that I will
achieve the target soon but due to this I wasn’t.
Due to some reasons initially my dashboard was having some problem but my mentor the CEO
of the company was so kind to help me, just an intern which made my work go on smoothly.
This shows how much they value their people.

THEORETICAL OVERVIEW OF RECRUITMENT AND
SELETION PROCESS
Page 29
Human Resource Management Process:
HRM is a field of management involves planning, organizing, directing and controlling the
functions of procuring, developing, maintaining and motivating a labour force. Human Resource
Management Process consists of eight activities necessary for staffing the organization and
sustaining high employee performance.
Page 30
Human Resource Planning :
Planning is the core area of all the functions of management. It is the foundation upon which the
other three areas should be built. Planning requires management to evaluate where human
resource of the company is currently, and where it would like to be in the future. From there an
appropriate course of action to attain the company's goals and objectives is determined and
implemented.
Human resources undoubtedly play the most important part in the functioning of an
organization. The term ‘resource’ or ‘human resource’ signifies potentials, abilities,
capacities, and skills, which can be developed through continuous interaction in an
organizational setting.
The interactions, interrelationships, and activities performed all contribute in some way or
other to the development of human potential. Organizational productivity growth of companies,
and economic development are to a large extent contingent upon the effective utilization of
human capacities.
Hence, it is essential for an organization to take steps for effective utilization of these resources.
In the various stages in the growth of an organization, effective planning of human resources
plays a key role. Matching the requirements of the job with the individual is important at all
stages, including the recruitment procedures, in this endeavour.
Page 31
RECRUITMENT PROCESS
The Recruitment is the process of analyzing the job requirements and then finding the
prospective candidates who are then encouraged and stimulated to apply for the job in the
organization.
The Recruitment programme is designed to attract more and more applicants such that the pool
of candidates applies for the job, and the organization has more options to select the best out of
them. The recruitment process consists of five interrelated stages which are as follows:
Page 32
Recruitment Planning:
The first step in the recruitment process is planning. This involves writing a complete job
specification for the position to be filled, outlining major and minor responsibilities, required
skills, experience and qualifications, grade and salary level, start date, whether the position is
temporary or permanent, and special conditions, if any, related to the position to be filled.
Strategy Development:
Once it is known how many candidates, with what qualifications, are needed, the next step is to
develop an appropriate strategy for recruiting candidates to the organization. Strategic
considerations to be taken into account may include such issues as whether to prepare the
required candidates themselves or to recruit them externally, the type of recruitment method to
be used, the geographic area to be considered for sourcing candidates, the recruitment source to
be used, and the sequence of activities to be followed in recruiting candidates into the
organization.
Page 33
Candidate Search:
This step involves attracting job seekers to the organization. There are basically
These are:
Screening:
Although some consider screening to be the starting point for selection, we have considered it an
integral part of recruitment. This is because the selection process only begins after the screening
and selection of applicants. Let's take an example to illustrate our point.In universities,
applications are solicited to fill faculty positions. The applications received in response to the
invitation, i.e. the advertisement, are reviewed and screened on the basis of eligibility and
suitability. Then, only shortlisted candidates are invited to participate in a seminar and a personal
interview. The selection process starts here, i.e. at the seminar presentation or interview.
The job specification is very valuable for the selection. Applications are reviewed based on the
qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, interests and experience listed in the job specification.
Those who do not meet the requirements are eliminated directly from the selection process.The
techniques used to screen candidates vary depending on the source of supply and the method
used for recruitment. Preliminary applications, screening tests, and selection interviews are
common techniques used to select candidates.
Page 34
Evaluation and Monitoring:
Given the considerable cost of the recruitment process, its evaluation and
(ii) Cost of time spent preparing the job analysis and advertisement.
Given the above, it is necessary for a prudent employer to try to answer some questions such as:
Are the recruitment methods appropriate and valid? And whether or not the recruitment process
followed in the organization is effective? If the answers to these questions are negative,
appropriate controls must be developed and implemented to remedy the situation. However,
such an exercise seems to be rarely carried out in practice by employer organizations.
Page 35
Sources of Recruitment of Employees:
The searching of suitable candidates and informing them about the openings in the enterprise is
the most important aspect of recruitment process. The candidates may be available inside or
outside the organisation. Basically, there are two sources of recruitment i.e., internal and external
sources.
Page 36
Best employees can be found within the organisation… When a vacancy arises in the
organisation, it may be given to an employee who is already on the pay-roll. Internal sources
include promotion, transfer and in certain cases demotion. When a higher post is given to a
deserving employee, it motivates all other employees of the organisation to work hard. The
employees can be informed of such a vacancy by internal advertisement.
1. Transfers:
Transfer involves shifting of persons from present jobs to other similar jobs. These do not
involve any change in rank, responsibility or prestige. The numbers of persons do not increase
with transfers.
2. Promotions:
Page 37
3. Present Employees:
The present employees of a concern are informed about likely vacant positions. The employees
recommend their relations or persons intimately known to them. Management is relieved of
looking out prospective candidates.
The persons recommended by the employees may be generally suitable for the jobs because they
know the requirements of various positions. The existing employees take full responsibility of
those recommended by them and also ensure of their proper behaviour and performance.
4.Job-posting programs:
HR department becomes involved when internal job openings are publicized to employees
through job positioning programs, which informs employees about opening and required
qualifications and invite qualified employee The notices usually are posted on company bulletin
boards or are placed in the company newspaper. Qualification and other facts typically are drawn
from the job analysis information. The purpose of the job posting is to encourage employees to
seek promotion and transfers the help the HR department fills internal opening and meet
employee’s personal objectives. Not all job openings are posted .Besides entry level positions,
senior management and top staff positions may be filled by merit or with external recruiting. Job
posting is most common for lower level clerical, technical and supervisory positions.
Page 38
B) External Sources:
All organisations have to use external sources for recruitment to higher positions when existing
employees are not suitable. More persons are needed when expansions are undertaken.
It is a method of recruitment frequently used for skilled workers, clerical and higher staff.
Advertisement can be given in newspapers and professional journals. These advertisements
attract applicants in large number of highly variable quality. Preparing good advertisement is a
Page 39
specialised task. If a company wants to conceal its name, a ‘blind advertisement’ may be given
asking the applicants to apply to Post Bag or Box Number or to some advertising agency.
2. Employment Exchanges:
Employment exchanges in India are run by the Government. For unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled,
clerical posts etc., it is often used as a source of recruitment. In certain cases it has been made
obligatory for the business concerns to notify their vacancies to the employment exchange. In the
past, employers used to turn to these agencies only as a last resort. The job-seekers and job-
givers are brought into contact by the employment exchanges.
Direct recruitment from educational institutions for certain jobs (i.e. placement) which require
technical or professional qualification has become a common practice. A close liaison between
the company and educational institutions helps in getting suitable candidates. The students are
spotted during the course of their studies. Junior level executives or managerial trainees may be
recruited in this way.
The present employees know both the company and the candidate being recommended. Hence
some companies encourage their existing employees to assist them in getting applications from
Page 40
In certain cases rewards may also be given if candidates recommended by them are actually
selected by the company. If recommendation leads to favouritism, it will impair the morale of
employees.
5. Factory Gates:
Certain workers present themselves at the factory gate every day for employment. This method
of recruitment is very popular in India for unskilled or semi-skilled labour. The desirable
candidates are selected by the first line supervisors. The major disadvantage of this system is that
the person selected may not be suitable for the vacancy.
6. Casual Callers:
Those personnel who casually come to the company for employment may also be considered for
the vacant post. It is most economical method of recruitment. In the advanced countries, this
A file of past applicants who were not selected earlier may be maintained. In order to keep the
Page 41
8. Labour Unions:
In certain occupations like construction, hotels, maritime industry etc., (i.e., industries where
there is instability of employment) all recruits usually come from unions. It is advantageous from
the management point of view because it saves expenses of recruitment. However, in other
9. Labour Contractors:
This method of recruitment is still prevalent in India for hiring unskilled and semi-skilled
workers in brick klin industry. The contractors keep themselves in touch with the labour and
bring the workers at the places where they are required. They get commission for the number of
persons supplied by them.
In case employees have been laid off or have left the factory at their own, they may be taken
back if they are interested in joining the concern (provided their record is good).
Apart from these major sources of external recruitment, there are certain other sources which are
exploited by companies from time to time. These include special lectures delivered by recruiter
in different institutions, though apparently these lectures do not pertain to recruitment directly.
Page 42
Then there are video films which are sent to various concerns and institutions so as to show the
history and development of the company. These films present the story of company to various
Various firms organise trade shows which attract many prospective employees. Many a time
advertisements may be made for a special class of work force (say married ladies) who worked
These ladies can also prove to be very good source of work force. Similarly there is the labour
market consisting of physically handicapped. Visits to other companies also help in finding new
sources of recruitment.
Page 43
The Selection Process
The selection process is aimed at finding and hiring the best candidates for job openings. This
process is often depicted as a funnel. 50 candidates may apply to a function, five of them are
invited for an in-person interview, and one person is selected in the end.
The selection process always starts with a job opening. This job opening should have a clearly
defined function profile that includes criteria like minimum years of work experience,
Page 44
Once this job opening is published and advertised, candidates flow in – hopefully! This is where
Page 45
Preliminary Interview
This is a very general and basic interview conducted so as to eliminate the candidates who are
completely unfit to work in the organisation. This leaves the organisation with a pool of potentially
fit employees to fill their vacancies.
Receiving Applications
Potential employees apply for a job by sending applications to the organisation. The
application gives the interviewers information about the candidates like their bio-data, work
experience, hobbies and interests.
Screening Applications
Once the applications are received, they are screened by a special screening committee who
choose candidates from the applications to call for an interview. Applicants may be selected on
special criteria like qualifications, work experience etc.
Employment Tests
Before an organisation decides a suitable job for any individual, they have to gauge their talents
and skills. This is done through various employment tests like intelligence tests, aptitude tests,
proficiency tests, personality tests etc.
Employment Interview
Page 46
The next step in the selection process is the employee interview. Employment interviews are
done to identify a candidate’s skill set and ability to work in an organisation in detail. Purpose
of an employment interview is to find out the suitability of the candidate and to give him an
idea about the work profile and what is expected of the potential employee. An employment
interview is critical for the selection of the interview is critical for the selection of the right
people for the right jobs.
Checking References
The person who gives the reference of a potential employee is also a very important source of
information. The referee can provide info about the person’s capabilities, experience in the
previous companies and leadership and managerial skills. The information provided by the
referee is meant to kept confidential with the HR department. right people for the right jobs.
Medical Examination
The medical exam is also a very important step in the selection process. Medical exams help
the employers know if any of the potential candidates are physically and mentally fit to perform
their duties in their jobs. A good system of medical checkups ensures that the employee standards of
health are higher and there are fewer cases of absenteeism , accidents and employee turnover.
This is the final step in the selection process. After the candidate has successfully passed all written
tests, interviews and medical examination, the employee is sent or emailed an appointment letter,
confirming his selection to the job. The appointment letter contains all the details of the job like
working hours, salary, leave allowance etc. Often, employees are hired on a conditional basis where
they are hired permanently after the employees are satisfied with their performance.
Page 47
Importance of the Selection Process
1. Proper selection and placement of employees lead to growth and development of the
company. The company can similarly, only be as good as the capabilities of its employees.
2. The hiring of talented and skilled employees results in the swift achievement of company
goals.
3. Industrial accidents will drastically reduce in numbers when the right technical staff is
employed for the right jobs.
4. When people get jobs they are good at, it creates a sense of satisfaction with them and thus
their work efficiency and quality improves.
5. People who are satisfied with their jobs often tend to have high morale and motivation to

Selection is the second steps of Recruitment and selection process. Selection is the process of
choosing the best one among the number of applicants. Management
typically followed a standard pattern, beginning with an initial screening, interview, presentation
and concluding with the final employment decision.
The first step in the selection process is the screening process. During the initial screening
process the Human resource manager describes the job in detail so the candidates can consider
seriously about applying. After that HR Manager compiles the resume and curriculum vitae
from the applicants. The applicants may come to the corporate office or he or she can post his or
her documents by post.

Many employment tests exist in company , but each type of test has only limited usefulness.
Each type of test has a different purpose.
# Performance tests measure the activity of applicants to do the some part of the work for which
they are to be hired.
# Attitude and honesty tests are being used in the same circumstances to learn about the attitudes
of applicants and employees toward a variety of job related subjects. Attitude tests are being used

The supervisor of the vacant position takes the interview. This time the interviewee only face one
person. This is often called individual interview.
# Group interview
The applicants may meet with two or more interviewers, allowing all the interviewers to evaluate
the individual on the same questions and answers. And sometimes two or more applicants are
interviewed together by one or more interviewers. This is called group interview.
Page 56
# Unstructured interviews
Management also applies the unstructured interview. This interview allows interviewers to
develop questions as the interview proceeds. The interviewer goes into topic areas as they arise,
trying to simulate friendly conversation. This approach may overlook key areas of the applicant’s
skills or background.
# Structured interviews
All sorts of certificates are to be checked by the HR service manger in this stage. At least two
references are needed in order to verify applicants. After verification the reference and
certificates the next is begin.
MEDICAL CHECK UP
The section process also includes a medical evaluation of the applicant before the hiring decision
is made. Normally, the evaluation consists of a health checklist that asks the applicant to indicate
health and accident information. All sorts of expenses in this regard are borne by Company
Management.
Page 57
SUPERVISORY INTERVIEW
The ultimate responsibility for a newly hired worker’s success falls to the worker’s immediate
supervisor. The supervisor is often able to evaluate the applicant’s technical abilities. When
supervisors make the final decision, the employment function provides a supervisor with the best
pre screened applicants available. From those two or three applicants, the supervisor decides
whom to hire.
Regardless of whether the supervisor or the HR department makes the final hiring decision,
hiring makes the end of the selection process, assuming that the candidate accepts the job offer.
To maintain good public relations, management notifies applicants who are not selected.

MAJOR FINDINGS
The major findings in the recruitment and selection procedure of IFortis Worldwide that are
justified in my view are:
3. The concerned Department Head raise the requisition of recruitment through the prescribed
Recruitment Requisition Form with required information and after that forward it to the Human
Resources Department. The Human Resources Department than complete its formality and
return it to the concern department. Last of all the concern department submit the Recruitment
Requisition Form to the Managing Director for approval. In order to attract the applicants an
advertisement in the national newspaper is publishing. Then the HR Department collects the
Resume or Curriculum Vitae and filed it.
4. No discrimination against the applicant on the basis of sex, colour, region, race, age, national
origin or any other factor.
5.The company always tries to find out the best people for recruiting.

any recognized public or private universities.
7.A minimum requirement of two references is needed in order to verify the applicants. But if

RECOMMENDATION
During my internship program in HRM at IFortis Worldwide , I found some deficiency (as
mentioned in findings) in the present recruitment and selection procedures. For better
recruitment and selection I do humbly recommend the following points:
1 .Company should arrange orientation program for all new employees. As a result new
employees happen to know the organizational culture, values, mission, vision etc.
2. Though company provides induction training before placing in job but I think they should
provide some more training related with job.
3. The company can recruited also for campus recruiting that could bring a yield of highly
educated fresh-starters for the entry-level the organization could arrange seminars in the top
business schools.
4. The Company could participate in the job fairs in their recruitment. A considerable volume of
applications is dropped in the organizations as a result of the exposure created in the job fairs.
The organization can promote its image as a potential recruiter through its successful
participation in the job fairs.

CONCLUSION
It was an absolute worthwhile experience working at the IFortis Worldwide. The friendly
welcoming staff and the space they have created for a trainee/intern allowed me with ample
opportunities to learn and know myself as a worker. It was a wonderful time with the company
under the mentorship of the CEO himself. He is an amazing human. The entire Journey in the
company was my worthwhile. I got immense workplace exposure and practical knowledge. I
have actually used my theoretical knowledge for the very first time practically starting from
recruitment strategy to mentoring understanding the employee psychology, maintaining
employee relation specifically during risk times and human resource information system
management.
I gave my best in whatever task given to me. Company aimed at giving the best of the training
and I tried to take all the opportunities provided and turned my entire journey successful.
This experience brought out my strength and also the areas I needed to improvise. It added more
confidence to my professional approach, built a stronger positive attitude and taught me how to
work in team as a player. The primary objective of an internship is to gather a real life working
experience and put their theoretical knowledge in practice. I am grateful to the entire team of
HRD of the Company for their unprecedented support to make my working experience truly
rewarding. Especially working in this department made me realize my competencies and level of
understanding regarding the human resources. On completion Of this internship period, I came to
Page 79
know about the importance of human resources and The role of HR manager, Training
Executive, HR Senior Supervisor and HR Senior Assistant in an organization.
As an intern, though I had a limited space to work, I still managed to grab plentiful of
experiences. I made the best of every opportunity I was given and made the utmost use of my
abilities and knowledge to fulfil all my responsibilities. I could implement my academic skills
into practice and my efforts were highly acknowledged. There is however some gap between our
theoretical knowledge and real life practice, yet the managerial level staff members is quite open
towards upgrading current approach, which was extremely motivating.
Hence, I can sum up by saying that my internship experience was a milestone to my academic
and professional experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that came along every single
day. I could also bring some minor improvisations during my Internship which were able to
leave their marks. These lessons that I have learned will be a valuable one for my future
endeavours as well.
