INTRODUCTION

INDUSTRY PROFILE

The FACT people have traditionally relied heavily on agriculture, and we have been cultivating
the land and harvesting its produce for centuries. This was obviously discovered as the land was
getting less and less fertile. As production decreased, we discovered that we had to rely on
imports to meet our minimal food grain requirements in the first half of this century. We
realized the obvious fact that the soil had been losing its fertility over a long period of repetitive
agriculture, but it was much too late. The amount of organic manure we were adding back to the
soil was not enough to restore it or balance out the land's uneven fertility state. Advanced
countries elsewhere had discovered the answer to this problem in chemical fertilizers and some
of the large-scale farming entrepreneurs like foreign-owned plantations in India also were
importing chemical fertilizers for their own use. The mixed economy standard, which
characterized the coexistence of the private and public sectors, was put into place by the Indian
government in 1948. It made it easier for the public sectors to grow and for the private sectors
to reorient themselves to the requirements of a planned economy. Prior to 1991–1992, the
majority of India's public and private sector businesses operated in a safe atmosphere. But over
the past ten years, for a variety of causes, there have been a lot of developments in the Indian
industry. They included the massive infusion of foreign capital into domestic businesses,
mergers and acquisitions, Indian customers' desire for world-class goods and services provided
by multinational corporations, and the establishment of multinational manufacturing facilities
with improved technology. As a result, the government began gradually opening up various
economic sectors. By actively involving the states in the growth of industries, India's industrial
policy sought to guarantee a balanced regional development. India's economy is heavily
dependent on agricultural products because the country is primarily agriculturally oriented. The
Indian fertilizer sector has made contributions to food security as well. However, it also
contributed to the expansion of the Indian economy by raising agricultural productivity. The
basic goal of the fertilizer sector is to guarantee a sufficient supply of primary and secondary
nutrients for agriculture. Additionally, this offers farmers a lot of support. The development of
structured research into fertilizer technology began in the seventeenth century.

The government of India's "Nutrient Based Subsidy Scheme" for fertilizers cleared the path for
additional investments in the fertilizer business, balanced fertilizer use, and the utilization of
micronutrients to increase farm output. This signaled significant advancement in the fertilizer
sector. After China and the United States, India is the third-largest producer and consumer of
fertilizers worldwide. The government's regulations, which include extensive controls on
pricing, distribution, and movement of fertilizers, have had a significant impact on the growth
of the fertilizer business in India. There are currently 64 large-scale fertilizer facilities in the
nation producing a variety of nitrogenous and phosphate complex fertilizers. In 1998, the
nation's installed capacity for producing fertilizer was 104.98 lakh nitrogen tones and 29.51
lakh phosphate tones; by 2000, that capacity had increased to 110.71 lakh nitrogen tones and
36.48 lakh nitrogen tones. The main issues that the fertilizer industry in India was dealing with
were the lack of appropriate supply of feedstock and raw materials on the international market
and the price instability. By implementing various strategies for increasing the production of
fertilizers, such as Expansion and increase in efficiency through modernization and revamping
of existing fertilizer units, setting up joint venture projects with businesses in nations that are
abundant in less expensive resources for row materials, the Indian fertilizer industry has reached
the international level of capacity utilization.

India has formed joint ventures with international companies in a number of nations in order to
meet the need for gas, which is one of the primary prerequisites for the production of
nitrogenous fertilizers. It is clearly obvious that the Indian fertilizer sector has had extensive
growth and has come alive in a short period of time with such extensive growth, joint ventures
have also been developed for the supply of phosphoric acid. On the international market, the
fertilizer sector in India has a promising future. By subsidizing the raw materials, loosening the
reporting policies, and other measures, the Indian government is providing full support to the
fertilizer industry. Both the domestic and international demand for Indian fertilizer has been
steadily increasing. India currently occupies the fourth spot in the world market.

INCORPORATION AND HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION

The Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) was founded in 1943 as India's
first large-scale fertilizer plant in Udyogamandal, Kochi, Kerala. FACT began production in
1947. Founded in the private sector by M/s. Seshasayee Brothers, FACT became a public
sector business in 1960, with the Government of India becoming a substantial shareholder in
1962. FACT is administered by the Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals and
Fertilizers, Government of India. FACT grew from humble beginnings to become a multi-
divisional organization with a wide range of operations. Until 1972, the main division at
Udyogamandal went through four rounds of expansion, updating technology, and expanding
capacity.
FACT Udyogamandal began producing Ammonium Sulphate in 1947, with an installed
capacity of 10,000 MT Nitrogen. FACT became a Kerala State Public Sector Enterprise on
August 15, 1960, and the Government of India became a substantial shareholder on November
21, 1962.
FACT's second round of expansion was finished in 1962. The third stage of FACT's expansion
was completed in 1965 with the establishment of a new Ammonium Sulphate Plant.
Recognizing the need to develop indigenous capabilities for the design and construction of
Chemical and Fertilizer Plants in the 1960s, FACT developed an Engineering & Consultancy
wing FEDO (FACT Engineering & Design Organization).In 1966, the Fabrication Division
FEW (FACT Engineering Works) was also founded. On July 24, 1965, FACT Engineering and
Design Organization was established to satisfy the rising need for indigenous capabilities in
critical areas of Engineering, Design, and Consultancy for the establishment of large and
modern fertilizer facilities. Since then, FEDO has expanded into Chemicals, Petrochemicals,
Hydrometallurgy, Pharmaceuticals, and other industries.
FEDO provides services ranging from project identification and evaluation to plant design,
procurement, project management, site monitoring, and commissioning of new plants, as well
as overhauling and modernization of existing plants. On April 13, 1966, FACT Engineering
Works was created as a unit to fabricate and install equipment for fertilizer plants. FEW has
acquired expertise in the manufacturing of pressure vessels and heat exchangers throughout the
years. FEW has also laid cross-country pipelines and fabricated and installed massive penstocks
for hydroelectric projects.

Another unit of fertilizer. Cochin Division was established in two stages at the BPCL-Kochi
Refineries in Ambalamedu. Phase-I consisted of the Ammonia-Urea Complex, which was
completed in 1973, and Phase-II, which included the Sulphuric Acid, Phosphoric Acid, and
Complex Fertilizer Plant, which was completed in 1976-78.
During 1990-91, FACT expanded further with the commissioning of the Petrochemical
Division at Udyogamandal for Caprolactam manufacture. Following an order of the High Court
of Kerala in February 1994 on a Public Interest Litigation, FACT established a 900 TPD
Ammonia Plant in Udyogamandal at a cost of 638 Crores to decommission the existing
imported Ammonia storage and handling facilities at Willington Island (Cochin Port). The
Ammonia plant went into operation in 1998.
C.P Ramaswamy Iyer, the then Diwan of Travancore, opened the way for the establishment of
FACT in Udyogamandal, a previously unknown village in Kerala. From 1960 until 1971,
FACT was directed by Shri M.K.K Nair, an exceptional administrator, and visionary. He was
the longest-serving MD, and it was during his term that FACT prospered, with the
establishment of several units to boost output, the Engineering consultancy division (FEDO),
and the fabrication unit (FEW). During this time, work on the development of another
industrial unit in Ambalamedu, the Cochin Division, was also begun.
The Company's authorized share capital is 100 crore equity shares with a face value of 10/-
apiece (.1000 crore). The total share capital issued and subscribed is.647.07 crore.
FACT went through ups and downs on its way to becoming one of the country's largest
fertilizer firms and an enthusiastic exemplar of the public sector's triumph. The primary
business of the company is the manufacture and selling of –
fertilizers

caprolactam and engineering consultancy and equipment fabrication.

(FACT) is located at Eloor, Udyogamandal.

Number Of Units

 Udyogamandal Complex

Udyogamandal complex is divided into two divisions:

 Udyogamandal Division

In 1947, the Udyogamandal division began producing ammonium sulfate using thefirewood
gasification process, with a single ammonium sulfate plant capable of producing 10,000 tonnes
of nitrogen. Today, this division consists of many medium-capacity plants that use multiple
process approaches to generate a wide range of fertilizers and chemicals, including ammonia,
sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, ammonium sulfate, and FACTAMFOS 20 - 20. This division
has developed tremendously throughout the years. Multi-stage expansion programs combining
optimization and modernization of the manufacturing process and plant usage increased the
yearly production capacity to 76,050 tonnes of nitrogen and 29,700 tonnes of phosphorous
pentoxide (P2 O5)

 Petrochemical Division

The petrochemical division was established in 1990 as a significant departure from our
conventional fields of fertilizers and associated chemicals. Caprolactam, a versatile
petrochemical, is added to FACT's product line by this division. The very advanced plants that
use cutting-edge technology assure the highest quality product, which is recognized as one of
the best in the world The division is made up of distinct plants that produce Cyclohexanone
(ANONE), Hydroxyl Amine Sulphate (HYAM), and Caprolactam (LACTUM). It can produce
50,000 tonnes of Caprolactam per year and 2,25,000 tonnes of Ammonium Sulphate as a
byproduct. A thorough product application assistance is provided by a marketing and customer
service cell comprised of experienced technical professionals.

 Cochin Division

Cochin Division was established in the late 1960s in Ambalamedu, Cochin, Kerala. This
division has the distinction of being one of the largest fertilizer factories in the world,
employing complex process technology entirely created and engineered by their own
technocrats with minimal outside technical support. This sector includes several large-capacity
factories that generate ammonia, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, urea, and complex fertilizers
such as FACTAMFOS 20-20 and DAP 18-46. This division now has an annual production
capability of 1,92,000 tonnes of nitrogen and 1,13,700 tonnes of phosphorous pentoxide (P2
O5).

 FACT Engineering & Design Organization (FEDO)

FACT Engineering & Design Organization (FEDO) was founded in 1965 to fulfill the growing
demand for indigenous capabilities in key areas of engineering, design, and consultancy for the
establishment of large, modern fertilizer facilities. FEDO has the distinct advantage of having
the backing of FACT's three manufacturing divisions. It provides a wide range of services,
including project discovery and appraisal, plant design, procurement, project management, site
monitoring, commissioning and operating new facilities, and renovating and updating existing
ones. Over the years, technical collaborations with top overseas businesses have expanded
FEDO's engineering capabilities in a variety of disciplines such as fertilizers, acids and
chemicals, petrochemicals, non-ferrous metallurgy, insecticides, antibiotics, cement, and
environmental engineering.

 FACT Engineering Works (FEW)

FACT Engineering Works (FEW) was founded in 1966 with the intention of fabricating and
erecting equipment for fertilizer plants. It has gained expertise in the production of Class-I
pressure tanks, heat exchangers, spiral-guided wet type multi-lift gas holders, rail-mounted
LPG tank wagons KVAERNER & MCGREGOR type hatch covers, and bulkhead stools for
cargo ships over the years. FEW has a Lloyds-approved workshop with all of the newest
testing and handling equipment.
  Marketing Division

FACT has been a marketing pioneer, developing a continuous and complete package of
communication and promotional programs to raise fertilizer awareness among farmers. The
package includes demonstration plots, unique concepts such as fertilizer festivals, Krishi
Vigyan Kendras, intensive consumer engagement programs, village adoption schemes, and so
on. As early as 1968, FACT was the first fertilizer firm in India to offer the village adoption
concept in order to boost agricultural output and general socio-economic conditions. FACT
Marketing Division has a well-organized distribution network that distributes over a million
tonnes of fertilizer and other agro-inputs each year. Urea, ammonium sulfate, DAP 18-46, and
FACTAMFOS 20-20 are among the many fertilizers available

PRODUCT AND SERVICES

Product

FACT has three manufacturing divisions: Udyogamandal Division, Petrochemical Division,

and Cochin Division. The products manufactured by these divisions are as follows:

Fertilizers

 COMPLEX FERTILIZERS

FACTAMFOS (AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE SULPHATE)

Factamfos 20:20:0:13 is a chemical compound composed of forty parts ammonium phosphate

and sixty parts ammonium sulfate. It has an N content of 20% and a P2O5 content of 20%. The
entire N is ammoniacal, and the P is completely water-soluble. Furthermore, FACTAMFOS
contains 13% Sulphur, another plant nutrient that is rapidly gaining relevance in the agricultural
sector. FACTAMFOS 20:20:0:13 has outstanding physical properties due to its granular form
and non-hygroscopic and free-flowing nature. It is suitable for use on all soils and crops.
FACTAMFOS 20:20:0:13 can also be used topically.

STRAIGHT FERTILIZERS

• FACT AMMONIUM SULPHATE

FACT has produced and marketed 2-2.25 lakh metric tonnes of ammonium sulfate over the last
five decades. It is a nitrogenous fertilizer that contains 20.6 percent nitrogen in the form of
ammonia. It also contains 24 percent Sulphur, an important ingredient necessary to increase
crop quality. Ammonium Sulphate is a stable chemical that is resistant to nitrogen leaching and
volatilization loss. FACT Ammonium Sulphate is suitable for top dressing crops including
paddy, banana, sugarcane, vegetables, chilies, and other plantation crops like coffee, tea, and
pepper.

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS
• FACT ORGANIC
After quality control, city compost produced in numerous states that meets FCO standards is
bagged in 50 Kg bags and distributed by FACT under the brand name "FACT ORGANIC."
Organic manure improves soil physical qualities such as soil structure, texture, and water
holding capacity while also supplying organic carbon, minor amounts of NPK, and enough
amounts of micronutrients.

• FACT ORGANIC PLUS

FACT Organic Plus is organic manure made from plants and animals that is marketed by
FACT. It has a high nutrient content and acts as a soil ameliorant, increasing soil organic
matter content and moisture-holding capacity. It also reduces soil bulk density, which
improves crop production efficiency.

 BIO-FERTILIZERS
• BIO FACT
Because of their microbial activity in soil and plants, these living microorganisms can boost the
availability of plant nutrients to crops. Bio-fertilizers are fertilizers that incorporate such
microorganisms. FACT sells biofertilizer under the brand name BIO FACT. It can be applied to
the field by seed treatment, seedling dip, or direct application. When used in conjunction with
FACT ORGANIC, the bio-efficacy of fertilizers can be significantly increased. FACT's bio-
fertilizers include Bio fact- Azospirillum, Biofact-Rhizobium, and Biofact-Phosphate
Solubilizing Bacteria.

 IMPORTED PRODUCTS
• FACT MURIATE OF POTASH
Muriate of Potash (MOP) is a fertilizer that contains potassium, one of the most important
plant nutrients. Because MOP reserves do not exist in India, FACT has been importing and
marketing high-quality MOP from Russia, Africa, and other places for numerous years.
The
fertilizer includes 60% K2O, which is one of the three major nutrients (N, P, and K) required
for plant growth.
• FACT also import complex fertilizers like NPK 16:16:16 and NPK 20:20:0:13.

 BAGGED GYPSUM

Gypsum is a byproduct of the manufacturing of phosphoric acid. FACT Gypsum is the brand
name under which it is sold. FACT Gypsum is composed of 16 percent sulfur and 22 percent
calcium. Both of these are plant nutrients that are necessary for crop growth and boosting
crop quality. Sulphur-containing gypsum contributes to the increased oil content in oil seed
crops. Furthermore, this is a fertilizing soil ameliorant that can assist reduce soil alkalinity. It
allows for easy peg penetration into the soil and subsequent pod production in groundnut.

 CAPROLACTAM

Caprolactam is produced using basic ingredients such as benzene, sulfur (as sulfur-di- oxide
and oleum), ammonia, and carbon-di-oxide. It is utilized in the production of nylon tire cords,
nylon filament yarn, engineering polymers, and other products. The product is mostly utilized
in the textile and automobile industries. It is the starting point for Nylon-6. FACT
Caprolactam's product quality is among the best on the market. As byproducts, the
Caprolactam Plant produces small amounts of Nitric Acid and Soda Ash.

Title Of Study
The project work title is A STUDY ON ADOPTING V-CONSOLE AS A RECRUITMENT
AND SELECTION PROCESS APPLICATION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO FACT
the employment
process is quickly evolving as remote work becomes more prevalent in our society. The
capacity to oversee the complete hiring process digitally is not a new idea, despite the current
increase in attention given to online hiring.

One element of the hiring process that has assisted firms in building better teams is online
interviews.

According to a recent OfficeTeam poll, 63% of HR managers currently use or have used video
interviews throughout the hiring process. One method through which recruiters are able to
connect with many candidates remotely is through video interviews. The online interview
process can help recruiters save time and money on everything from pre-screening interviews
to pre-qualification testing. This manual will demonstrate how to make use of the top online
interview tools and provide advice for conducting an online

Statement Of the Problem

• Limited body language evaluation: Body language has some noteworthy drawbacks,
including the fact that it is a non-verbal form of communication and is only utilized
occasionally as a supplement. It is more serious to communicate in writing or verbally.
In huge groups, body language is ineffective.

• Building Rapport: A person comes to feel a sense of camaraderie, trust, and affinity
with one another. Building rapport may be very helpful for your work because it enables
you to create strong interpersonal connections, which can lead to many opportunities.

• Demonstrating company culture: whether a company's mission and values align with
your own by talking to various team members and getting their opinions on their
experiences. Social media is a fantastic platform for showcasing your business culture
and giving potential employees a chance to interact with your staff.
 • Technical issues: A single, reproducible fault or problem that substantially or
considerably affects the performance of the subscription service is referred to as a
technical issue.

• Benefits of virtual interviews to compensate: In addition to being more practical than

conventional in-person interviews, video interviews are also more productive and
shorten the hiring process for your business. Interviews can be scheduled more quickly
and are available to candidates that live outside of the area. They can therefore occur
sooner rather than later.

Advantages of Online Interview

 Lower costs

Candidates can save money for their own purpose by doing video interviews from the
convenience of their own homes. Employees, on the other side also save money because they
don’t have to pay for a space to hold candidate interviews. Additionally, the interview doesn't
interfere with anyone's productivity because both sides can resume their normal activities as
soon as it is over.

 Saving Time

There will be dozens of applicants for each job opportunity, which is fantastic because it
enables a recruiter to choose the top candidates for the position. However, many excellent
applicants go overlooked in the crowd or the hiring managers simply forget about them after
speaking with 50 other applicants. A recruiter can always go back and rewatch a video
interview, ensuring that they have chosen the most qualified applicants for the position.
 • Screening Remote Candidates
Video interviews are the ideal way for applicants to showcase their skills if recruiters are
amenable to the notion of hiring a remote worker. In order to facilitate the production process,
they must first be able to communicate clearly, reply quickly, and have sufficient technical
knowledge. Additionally, any applicant may immediately exhibit their expertise, allowing the
recruiters to make a more focused choice.

 Assess Communication Skills

Strong interpersonal skills are a need for several jobs, making one's body language and
communication abilities among the most sought-after qualities. The good news is that both may
be examined using a straightforward video interview almost as successfully as an in-person
video. The business can determine whether a candidate would be a good match for the
organization by seeing how they speak, dress, and convey their ideas.

 Less Pressure On Candidates

Because they were too nervous during the interview, which shouldn't really count as a factor
unless they are going to be the face of the firm, many candidates are removed early in the hiring
process despite having the necessary abilities. They can respond to all the questions at their own
pace while conducting video interviews at home, where they can be more at ease. Additionally,
even if the interview is performed in person, students receive invaluable information about how
interviews truly function and what the recruiters want, making them less scared the second time
around.

Objective Of Study

 To suggest better practices to the organization regarding recruitment and selection

 To examine the impact of demographic variables on the recruitment and selection
process
 To study the various perception of the employees regarding recruitment and selection in
the organization.
Scope Of Study
The present study on recruitment and selection procedure helps how the employees are recruited
and selected in the organization. This in turn helps the management to formulate suitable
policies to recruit and select the employees. Hence efficient employees can be selected in the
organization. Recruitment and Selection is a very wide area and it consists of a variety of
operations. Resources are considered the most important asset to any organization. Hence,
hiring the right resources is the most important aspect of Recruitment. Every company has its
own pattern of recruitment as per its recruitment policies and procedures.

ONLINE INTERVIEW APPS

 ZOOM

Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service that enables you to hold live discussions
while digitally meeting with others. Zoom also allows you to record those meetings for later
viewing. Zoom was apparently employed by more than half of Fortune 500 organizations in
2019, and in 2020 it reached new heights, registering a 227 percent growth year over year.
Zoom Meeting and Zoom Room are two terms that are frequently used when discussing Zoom.
A video conference meeting that uses Zoom is referred to as a Zoom Meeting. These meetings
are accessible by phone or webcam. A Zoom Room, on the other hand, is the actual hardware
configuration that enables businesses to schedule and start Zoom Meetings from their
conference rooms. Larger businesses should use Zoom Rooms, which require a separate
membership on top of a Zoom subscription.

ZOOM Main Features

• One-on-one meetings: even with the free plan, host an infinite number of one-on-one
encounters.

• Group video conferences: The free plan enables you to arrange video conferences with
up to 100 people for up to 40 minutes.
 • Screen sharing: Share your screen with small or big groups of people when you meet
so they can see what you're seeing.

• Recording: Additionally, you can record events or meetings.

Advantages Of ZOOM

• Easy, affordable plans: It was too expensive for everyone to acquire a video
conferencing license when we used our historical supplier. We, therefore, shared
accounts. You can probably appreciate how challenging it was to schedule a meeting.
The logistics were a headache. Now that each employee has a Zoom account, they can
arrange their own meetings without assistance from IT.

• Seamless transition to the video: Before, not everyone loved using video
conferencing. Many individuals attempted to elude detection by hiding behind the
camera. Giving individuals the option to choose between an audio conference and a
video conference so they could make their decision on the spot was one of the
reasons we switched to Zoom. Zoom's seamless transition from a call to a video
encounter was designed.

• Zoom Rooms’ ease of use: When Zoom Rooms are really used, you realize
how easy to use they are. You enter a space, hit a button, and then you're linked.
Every meeting space that we have is linked to the schedule. Because it's so simple, a
small firm won't actually need an expert or dedicated IT help, which is a significant
deal.

• Smooth Zoom Phone porting process: The most important factor when
discussing changing phone providers is porting such numbers. Even though I've done
 it a few times, the porting experience we had moving from our previous provider to
Zoom was by far the greatest. It was completed more quickly than expected. The
simplicity of that procedure would be appreciated by anyone who has dealt with it
previously.

• Intuitive user experience: I observe how well Zoom functions on a daily basis
and how user-friendly it is. Employees began testing out things that I was not even
aware of. Other folks discovered how to use a virtual background before me. People
notice and utilize small details on their own, which indicates that Zoom is a user-
friendly platform.

Disadvantages of Zoom

• Delayed Customer Service is a Disadvantage: A user complained about

poor customer service in a review that was recently published. It can take 2 to 3 days
for a service agent to get in touch with you and offer a suggestion. When you have no
other options to complete your business due to the growing demand for video
conferencing solutions, this limitation is understandable. The Zoom programmer is
used by every industry, thus any service delays are understandable.

• Zoom Security Concerns- Intrusion by Outsiders: An article that

appeared in the Indian News Media at the beginning of April 2020 revealed that
hackers had targeted remote employees as a result of the Corona crisis. Zoom-
bombing hackers hijacked online meetings by hacking user passwords. Then,
apparently, to disrupt commerce, hackers released derogatory or pornographic
material.

Another incident involving the data of over 500k Zoom users being sold on the dark web
was reported by Deccan Herald. This event has raised doubts about user privacy policies
and data encryption techniques used to protect user data among National Security
Agencies in many different countries. Fortunately, the development team
 has implemented a lot of stringent controls to manage and resolve Zoom Security
concerns as anticipated.

 Cyber Attacks may shrink the number of users: If Zoom Conference

Security Risks are not addressed right away, the expanding company may experience
financial hardship as a result of losing a significant number of consumers at once.
Employees at Standard Chartered Bank and the Indian Home Ministry have already
been told not to use the Zoom app for work-related purposes.

• Zoom App Server is reported to be Linking to China: Zoom

Conferencing App has been alleged to be linked to Chinese servers in addition to
being accused of selling user data to Facebook and failing to develop a geofencing
strategy. Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, said that due to network congestion,
conversations were accidentally routed through Chinese servers. Due to recent high-
profile security vulnerabilities with China, this may also endanger Americans' data.

 MICROSOFT TEAMS

Microsoft Teams is a platform for collaborative work that uses persistent chat and includes
several incredibly practical capabilities for business interactions, such as document
sharing and online meetings.
 Being able to think creatively and interact with one another requires a great team
environment. This is significantly simpler to accomplish with shared workspace
software, especially if a team is located within a very big organization, has many
remote employees, or has a sizable team size.

Features of Microsoft Teams

 Breakout rooms: Breakout rooms are essentially little conference rooms

connected to a bigger meeting. The majority of the standard meeting amenities
are available in each breakout space, including screen sharing, participant audio
and video feeds, and a chat window.

Small teams who have to speak and present in a meeting could find it helpful to prepare and
consult with one another in a different breakout room while the main meeting is going
on. Another option would be to divide up the meeting attendees into smaller groups for
small-group talks before bringing everyone back to the main gathering.

 Improved whiteboard:

Teams and Microsoft's Whiteboard software have long been connected, allowing meeting
participants to work together in real-time on a shared virtual whiteboard. A board can
include text, photographs, diagrams, notes, sketches, and other content added by team
members. More than 40 new templates, the ability to insert pictures and documents,
response icons, and various inking tool upgrades are just a few of the updates this
programmer just received.

 Live transcription: Since forever, Teams has provided text transcripts of

all recorded meetings. AI-driven text captioning, which displays what meeting
participants are saying in real-time, is another important feature that has been
around for a while. These two capabilities are combined in a more recent live
transcription option, which provides a Transcript sidebar that displays all
meeting content along with speaker attribution.
 Spotlighting people: Meeting hosts and presenters can "spotlight"
 particular attendees, as in the case of an all-company meeting where a select
group of leaders is frequently called upon. When you give someone the
spotlight, everyone in the meeting sees their video feed prominently displayed,
effectively pinning it to the top of the screen. The spotlight can be on up to
seven individuals simultaneously.

Advantages Of Microsoft Teams

 Streamline Communication: By consolidating all of your collaboration tools—

conversations, chats, online meetings, shared files, projects, etc.—into a single app with
a single UI, Teams helps users to enhance productivity. Users of Microsoft Teams can
store brainstorming sessions, conference calls, and other meetings in a single,
accessible location by using the chat feature's threaded dialogues.

 Microsoft Teams Continues To Roll Out New Features: Since the

COVID-19 epidemic started and many employees were forced to work remotely,
Microsoft has continued to provide new features on a regular basis, as we discussed in
our Inspire 2020 review. The Spotlight option helps presenters manage the primary
video feed that attendees see during a meeting by allowing them to lock their video as
the main view for all meeting participants. Users of Call Merge can combine many
calls into a single call or another group call.

 Availability of Free and Flexible Paid Versions: The use of this platform is open to
anyone having a Microsoft account. Free users can add 299 or more team members and
organize a virtual meeting with up to 100 attendees for a maximum of 60 minutes. While
Office 365 E3 accounts allow users to invite up to 500,000 individuals to their teams and hold
online events with up to 10,000 attendees, paid users with Microsoft 365 Business Basic and
Standard accounts can only host meetings with 300 participants that last no more than 24
hours.
  Connectivity with Other Microsoft Applications: Microsoft Teams' close
integration with other Microsoft products, such as the Office productivity suite, which
includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as OneNote and Outlook, is another
noteworthy benefit. For better team or group productivity, this integration enables
simpler file sharing and management as well as real-time content creation and
collaboration. Be aware that Google Meet works with other Google services as well.

Disadvantages of Microsoft Teams

 Might Be Too Much To Certain Users: Microsoft Teams' adaptability and

customizability may be a drawback. Google Meet or Zoom Cloud Meetings may be
preferable choices for people and companies who merely require a videoconferencing
platform for managing virtual meetings. These users might not be able to take full
advantage of Teams' features and functions. It's also important to note that the user
interface may not be as simple as that of pure videoconferencing services. Some people
might find the entire user experience to be overly demanding and complex.

 Perfect for Microsoft-Centric Environments: Keep in mind that Microsoft

365 Business accounts come with the platform. Additionally, keep in mind that these
platforms are tightly integrated with other Microsoft services and apps. Although third-
party software and services can be integrated, this platform works best in Microsoft-
centric contexts. Teams might not be as effective for businesses used to using non-
Microsoft productivity tools.
 Considerably High System Requirements: The high system requirements for
Microsoft Teams are comparable to the downsides of Google Meet and Zoom Cloud
Meetings. For enhanced video or screen sharing resolution and frame rate, it
particularly calls for a dedicated 4GB of RAM or higher and at least a quad-core
processor. On entry-level desktop and laptop computers, as well as on devices with
outdated hardware specs, the platform would not function properly.
  Unimpressive Mobile Version of Microsoft Teams: This cross-platform
program is a videoconferencing platform. It supports Microsoft Windows, macOS, and
Linux distributions including Debian and Ubuntu for desktop and laptop computers.
On the other hand, it supports the Android, iOS, and iPadOS mobile operating
systems. Because various features and tools are missing from the mobile versions,
those who are used to the desktop versions may feel to overly constrained.

 GOOGLE MEET

Through the use of video conferencing, people can remotely communicate on a variety
of platforms, gadgets, and screens. Multiple people can log in at once from any location
with a reliable internet connection thanks to this technology. Furthermore, it gives
individuals new means of talking about the things that are most important in their
personal or professional lives.

Google Meet offers everyone access to enterprise-grade video conferencing. Anyone with
a Google account has the ability to organize an online meeting with up to 100 people and
hold them for a maximum of 60 minutes each.

Businesses, schools, and other organizations can benefit from premium capabilities,
such as meetings with up to 500 internal or external participants and live broadcasting to
up to 100,000 viewers in a single session, with a paid Google Workspace subscription.
 Features of Google Meet

 Host collaborative brainstorms with new digital whiteboarding integration in Google

Meet
 The duration of a call is unlimited (up to 24 hours)
 Quickly gauge the pulse of your participants with polls
 Improved video quality in low-light conditions
 Background blur
 Less audio distraction

 Tiled layout view

 Join your meetings from Gmail
 Present only what you want.

Advantages of Google Meet

 Free Version for Google Users and Flexible Paid Versions : All Google
users can access Google Meet for free. 100 participants are supported by the free
version. Furthermore, unlike Zoom, which limits its free version to a 40-minute
conference, the duration limit for free users is 60 minutes. Naturally, customers with
existing Google accounts may easily start using Google Meet because it is organically
integrated with other Google services.
Similar to how Microsoft Teams is a component of the whole Office 365 services from
Microsoft, the paid versions are really included in the apps and services within Google
Workspace, formerly G Suite. The Basic Plan starts at USD 6.00 per month for each user,
which is significantly less expensive than Zoom's base plan, which costs USD 149.90 per
year for each user.
 Productivity Tools and Integration with Other Google Services: This
platform has a significant advantage over chat programs like Google Hangouts,
Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram, among others, in that it offers a
wide range of interactive and productive functions. For instance, a speaker can show
participants a document, spreadsheet, presentation, or browser tab using the screen-
sharing feature.
Other capabilities include exchanging files and images, text-based chat, and polling for
 instant decision-making.
 Considerably Straightforward User Experience and User Interface:
The fact that Google Meet is comparatively simple to use is another benefit. Simply
clicking or pressing a link will allow you to join a meeting. The platform can also be
accessed through a web app or specific native software for macOS, Microsoft Windows,
iOS and iPad OS, and Android. An app or a web browser that directs to the meeting will
be launched when a link is clicked.
Launching the platform, creating a link for the meeting, and distributing it to attendees
through email, messaging applications, or—more intriguingly—by establishing an event in
Google Calendar and sending invites to email addresses in the contact list—is all it takes
to create a meeting.

Disadvantages of Google Meet

 Relatively Limited Features When Compared to Others:

Unquestionably, one of the main advantages of using Google Meet is the plethora of
tools and apps available in Google Workspace. To boost productivity, interaction, and
distant collaboration, the range of functionalities could have been expanded in
comparison to competing for video telephony services and applications like Zoom.

 Can Be Taxing on Hardware and System Resources: For Android and

iOS devices as well as iPads, there is an optimized app. However, there isn't a native
or specialized desktop application. Only web browsers for desktop operating systems
like Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS can access the platform.

Be aware that the hardware capabilities of a specific device continue to influence how well
the user experience is delivered. Because of this, Google Meet also has the drawback of
using a lot of hardware resources. A video conference would be difficult to run on
equipment with obsolete processors and random access memory
 SUMMARY AND TAKEAWAY: THE PROS AND CONS OF GOOGLE
MEET: The fact that Google Meet is a component of the whole Google
Workspace suite of tools and apps gives it a significant advantage over Zoom as well
as other
63
 video conferencing platforms and messaging apps. In essence, paying for this service
means paying for other goods and services. Additionally, it easily interacts with key
Google products and applications for a seamless and consistent user experience
throughout.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Bulter (1991) suggested this entailed utilizing the inductive methodology for the generation of items of the
perceived benefits of e-recruitment. Semi-structured conversations with a number of 30 human resources
managers and 10 recruitment supervisors from numerous industrial and services –oriented sectors were
conducted. Participants were questioned to grade the benefits of e-recruitment that they supposed based on
their experiences and interaction. The outcomes were progressive and used for the generation of the objects.
Common interview responses were brief as: low costs, less time, ability to influence applicants from various
countries, improved quality of applicants, and sound image for the organization.

Whitford, M. (2000) This U.S. based study states the benefits of internet for recruitment, the distress being
maintenance of employee. The internet plays a vital role in closer recruitment. International Journal of
Applied Research 2016;

Cober et al., (2000) , According to the current research on the recruitment, the Web is increasing in use both
as a source of applicants for organizations and as a job search device for individuals looking for employment.
As many as 90% of large organizations in the United States have incorporated the Web in their current
recruitment practices.

Eleanna Galanaki, (2002) : Online recruitment is a new tool, at the removal of the HR departments, which
has known a impressive success in very short time. This paper presents the findings of some expressive
research, involving UK IT companies. The research tries to identify the effect that the perceived
characteristics of the research have on the decision of companies to recruit through the Internet. The attributes
tested are cost efficiency; recruitment cycle time; response rate; quality of response; impact on the image of
the company; directing of specific niches; targeting of the passive job‐seeker; worldwide coverage; essential
resources, time and effort to implement; attraction of the mean to the job seekers (especially IT professionals
and young graduates); risk of excess of answers; and impact of the size and reputation of the company. The
paper provides an insight on how the companies recognize and value online recruitment.

Boswell, Roehling, LePine, & Moynihan, (2003) , attentive on opportunities to meet people and site visit
measures.

Connerley, Carlson, & Mecham (2003), The study conducted on evidence of differences in applicant pool
quality statements the research need by examining the attraction outcome of firms opposing head to-head for
recruits for similar positions. This study studied applicants for on-campus interviews with corporate recruiters
at a southeastern university from September 1999 to May 2000. Results of an analysis of 391 applicant pools
representing 18 different job families suggest that applicant pool quality can vary significantly within and
across job families.

Smith and Rupp (2004) A theoretical paper on Managerial challenges of e-recruitment: extending the life
cycle of new economy employees , studied the application of technology to recruiting and retaining
knowledge workers in an e-commerce, information intensive environment. The authors reported that
erecruitment as a general process is job specific and offers computer-assisted screening interviews and
statistical estimate to aid in reducing recruiting costs, time-to-hire and employee business.

Hadass (2004) [ in his research on the effect of internet recruiting on the matching of workers and HR
Managers developed a model of recruitment in which job searchers have private information about their
condition for different jobs and firms possess deficient screening technologies. He decided that firms may
adopt e-recruitment policies because of the direct reduction in recruiting costs and because of competition
among HR Managers for skilled hires.
Reeve, Highhouse and Brooks (2006) investigated how affective reactions of job searchers affect overall
evaluation of organizational appeal and organizational image.

Matthews (2006) A research by on the recruitment of law students by the United States Internal Revenue
Service designated that how by moving up the start data of its campus recruitment energies it was able to fill
jobs more easily and with better quality entities.

Barber (2006) , at the Institute for Employment Studies also examined the assistances and challenges of
Internet recruiting. Barber noted that access to a wider pool of applicants and promotion of a company’s
repute and brand are frequently mentioned by HR experts who analyzed the strengths of the e-recruiting.

Maurer and Liu (2007) , that web-based recruitment protects cost up to 87% per new employee employed by
an organization.

Parry and Tyson (2008) , conducted a study on the recruitment activities of establishments for a period of six
years with the use of survey and interview methods, questions were asked as to why the respondents exploited
or did not employ online recruitment, whether they predicted their use of the Internet for recruitment to
change, and what impact they expected Internet recruitment to have on the use of other recruitment methods.
Human Resource directors and managers, finance directors, managing directors and recruitment experts from
a sample of UK organizations with over 25 employees were the respondents of the study. There were 25,524
responses in the survey and twenty (20) HR or resourcing managers were cross-examined. The results of the
survey showed that the most common reasons of using profitable or commercial websites in their recruitment
were cost-effectiveness (75%), ease of use for candidates (64%), a larger candidate pool (53%), ease of use
for the organization (52%), speed to hire (52%), and company policy (50%). On the other hand, the less
common reasons were success in finding candidates (44%) and keeping ahead of competitors (32%).

Thompsons, L., Braddy, P., and Wuensch, K. (2008) , In 2008 studied the influence of organizations, web
design on potential jobseekers 182 participants reviewed an online job marketing to rate marketing formatting
attractiveness, usability of the website, organization web appeal, impressions of the organization, and
readiness to pursue employment and found that both the formatting attractiveness and usability of online
recruitment materials influenced participants’ inclinations to pursue jobs, planning was more important than
usability. (Kim et al, 2009) [21], Through the review of the prior literature on the e-recruitment supposed
benefits, there ~ 530 ~ International Journal of Applied Research searcher determined the following named
benefits: shorter recruiting cycle time, ability to reach a wider scope of applicants. Holm, Anna B. (2012) [22]
further states it as the organisation of recruitment process and activities, which, by means of technology and
human causes, enable time-andspace dependent collaboration and interaction in order to recognize, attract,
and influence capable candidates.

Haroon and Zia-ur-Rehman (2010) , also investigated online recruitment in Pakistan. A total of sixty-five
(65) respondents from small and large firms of the different sectors of the industries in Pakistan participated in
the study. Data were collected through telephone interviews showed that preference was given to small firms
as compared to large firms in terms of using internet recruitment. They also showed that large firms had thei

r own websites and use them for recruitment as compared to small firms. They also revealed that online
recruitment became a new medium that was going to replace the other traditional sources of recruitment
because online recruitment offered reduced recruitment costs, time-saving capability, quick response features
in checking application status, and online resume development.

Avinash S. Kapse (2012) published an article about E recruitment which stated that online recruitment has
many advantages to companies like low cost, less time, quick, wider area, better match and along with this
they have highlighted some points of disadvantages of online recruitment like scrutinizing applications is a
problem, lack of internet awareness in India in some places and they said that employers want to have face to
face interaction with candidates.

Florea, N. V., & Badea, M. (2013), The author references that use of internet helps in performance advance,
faster decision making and saves cost. The intermnet helps in displaying vacancy on the website. The internet
also helps in finding the precise employee for the job from the pool of information obtainable in the data base.
A paper was recently presented at an international conference by Florea & Badea (2013) [2], which
emphasized the manner in which the organizations use technology increases or decreases its positive net
effect. The findings suggest that through the Internet, HR can develop an effective recruitment program,
which helps manage the highly competitive and time-consuming process of finding skilled personnel.

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve research problem. Research methodology is understood
as a source of the study how to research is done scientifically. The various steps adopted by a researcher in studying the
research problem along with the logic.

3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN

The research design constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. There are
types of research design; they are exploratory research design, experimental research design and describe and diagnostic
research design. The research had adopted descriptive research design for the study.

Sample Design

A sample is a subset from the total population. It refers to the techniques or the procedure to the research would
adopt in selecting items for the sample (i.e) the size of the sample.

Population

The aggregate elementary units in the survey are referred to as the population. Here it covers the 120
customers Sam Turbo Industry Private Limited at Coimbatore.

SAMPLING METHOD

Sampling method utilized was convenience sampling was adopted.

3.2 METHOD OF THE DATA COLLECTION

A descriptive research was undertaken to the study of the problem. The study is descriptive in nature.
Descriptive research is those which are concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular individual of a
group. The descriptive research describes the demographic the characteristic of the respondents and is typical concern
with determining frequency with something occurs how the variables vary together.

SOURCES OF DATA

Primary Data

It was collected through questionnaire further this data, are processed and tabulated using graphs the tables
where analysed and the finding has been drawn accordingly.

Secondary Data
 It refers to a special kind of ratio, it is used to make comparison between two or more series of data, since the
percentage reduce everything to a common base and there by allow meaningful comparison be made.

3.3 TOOLS AND TECHNIQUE

1. Simple percentage analysis

2. Chi square analysis
3. Correlation
4. Anova

CHI-SQUARE TEST

It is one of the simplest and widely used non parametric test in statistical work. The quantity chi-square
describes the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory and observation.

Which is defined as?

∑ ( oi−Ei ) 2
Chi – Square =
Ei

Oi = Observed frequency, Ei = Expected frequency

In general the expected frequency for any can be calculated from the following equations

RT X CT
E =
N

E = Expected frequency, CT = Column total,

RT = Row total, N = Total number of observations

CORRELATION

Correlation is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1
and +1. Perfect positive correlation (a correlation co-efficient of +1) implies that as one security moves, either
up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction.
 Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if one security moves in either direction the security that
is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of
the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.

ANOVA

Examination of change, or ANOVA, is a solid measurable method that is utilized to show contrast
between at least two methods or parts through importance tests. It likewise shows us an approach to make
numerous examinations of a few populace implies. The Anova test is performed by looking at two sorts of
variety, the variety between the example implies, just as the variety inside every one of the examples. Beneath
referenced recipe addresses one way Anova test measurements:

FINDINGS

During the pandemic, FACT has decided to conduct interviews through online mode.
Initially, they used Google meet as their platform. They were in the process of finding
another platform and I helped them through the process. I had gone through several apps
and found out that v-consol is an efficient app. V-Consol has excellent security features
and more than 100 people can actively participate through this app. The quality of the
video will not be lost and only uses less amount of data. The response I get from there
when I present V-consol is without technical glitches can this app work for at least eight
hours, clarity in voice and quality concerns, as it is new they now worried about whether
they could monitor the people entering and leaving. They were concerned as the
department did not have any training before using the app.

CONCLUSIONS

The study helped in finding the factors related to the recruitment and selection process
of employees within the organization. Only if the right kind of employee is recruited and
selected and provided with training and development programs they will work well and
this, in turn, benefits the organization. V-Consol is a better platform to conduct online
recruitment which was suggested by me. They have conducted one interviewing process
for management trainees and it was a huge success
