CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter deals with the recruitment and selection process of small and
medium scale industries providing the all-important information related
recruitment and selection. Recruitment and selection constitute a staffing
function of management. Scientific selection ensures right man for the right job.
For creating a team of efficient, capable and loyal employees, proper attention
needs to be given to scientific selection of managers and other employees. The
conventional approach of selecting managers in a casual manner is now treated as
outdated and is being replaced by scientific and rational approach, deciding who
should hire under the employment rule of the organization for the short and
long-term interests of the individual employee and the organisation.1 Recruitment
and selection is the process of getting human resources into organizations,
departments, sections and jobs use. What might be an even more useful
definition of recruitment is that about the art of discovering and procuring
potential applicants for actual and anticipated vacancies in the organization. This
definition has introduced the concept of ‘art’ which is about the soft skills of
management, some of which might be a natural talent of some managers or
acquired through specialized training. The use of the word ‘discover’ emphasizes
effective recruitment, a process that involves exploration which require
specialized methods and techniques, short of which no ‘discovery’ of potential
people for the job can be made. Usually, recruitment and selection depend on the
organization’s policy guiding selection. The basic principle in selection is "right
man for the right job "and can be achieved only through scientific recruitment and
selection. This is because the ability of an organization is determined to a great
extent by the ability of its workforce. The old belief that capital was fundamental
to the progress of the organization and does not hold good any longer as
employers around the world have begun to believe that a smart workforce is the
key to the success of an organization.2
4.1 RECRUITMENT:
Recruitment means an activity which refers to the discovery and development of
workers and employees in the enterprise at the time they are required. It involves
locating, maintaining and contacting the sources of man power. The recruitment
has been defined by many eminent authors as under: In the words of Flippo,
“Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and
stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in the organisation.”3
According to Dale Yoder, “Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of
manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ
effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate
effective selection of an efficient working force.”4 In short recruitment is the
process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them for jobs in
the organization, Thus, the recruitment of employees involves the identification of
the sources of personnel, evaluation of different sources available, selection of a
particular source and stimulating the prospective candidates to apply for the job
so that right candidates may be obtained for right job.
INDUSTRY PROFILE: for a few positions great, but also the spectacle of so many
persons making applications and getting disappointed is a dismal one.
Furthermore, the large number of applications that need to be processed and the
equally large number of candidates who need to be examined and evaluated is an
important source of delays. On account of the present conditions of acute
unemployment the chances of incorrect matching of the job and the individual are
higher here than in the developed western countries. The reason for this is that a
man whose choice of employment is very limited accepts any job that falls to his
lot irrespective of his attitude and suitability.
3. Under the existing statutes dismissal of employees is very difficult, because it
requires certain elaborate procedure involving considerable time and money to be
followed by a manager. No manager likes to follow this procedure. This means a
person once recruited is going to be around longer on any given job and it is not
possible to rely on replacement to improve the quality of the work group. The
management must count more on utilizing the skills and abilities of the employees
that are already present than on replacing them by more able ones. The above
features make systematic manpower planning and will be understood, fair and
objective criteria for recruitment of special significance to us. But manpower
planning has not yet become popular and is practiced only by a few big companies
in the public and private sectors. Public undertakings are believed to be generally
overstaffed and have frequently been criticized by the parliamentary committees
for this. In a study, it was found that only 20% of the American subsidiaries and 7%
of the local firms undertake manpower planning. Those few companies which do
undertake manpower planning utilize not only historical data on manpower but
also various forecasting methods to evaluate their future manpower requirements
in term of both quantity and quality. A brief description of how Hindustan Lever a
private undertaking performs this function is given below: First, an audit of
internal resources is carried out. This indicates the number of persons who
possess different or higher levels of responsibilities. It also reveals the overall
deficit or surplus of personnel for different levels during the planning period.
Second, with the help of a detailed organization chart it is determined that how
many people, at what level, at what positions and with what kind of experience
and training would be needed to meet the business objectives during the
optimum planning period of 5 years. Finally, taking into account the actual
retirements and estimated loss due to death, ill-health and turnover, based on
past experience and future outlook in relation to company’s expansion and future
growth pattern the final figures are arrived at. The planning is done every year for
the coming 5 years. For instance, a plan is made from the beginning of 1990 to the
end of 1994 and the next year the plan covers from the beginning of 1991 to the
end of 1995. This reduces inaccuracy in forecasting.
4.5 SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:
It is essential to organization that develops the different sources of recruitment,
when the organization is successful in gathering a large application pool, it can
adopt a rigorous procedure in choosing the bestemployees without compromising
on quality. However, there is no single combination of resources and methods that
will work well for all Organization. The various sources of recruitment can be
broadly classified into two categories:
A. Internal Recruitment
B. External Recruitment. Most organizations depend upon both the sources. The
relative emphases may differ from enterprise to enterprise depending upon the
following factors:
1. Training programmed of the enterprise whether it prefers trained persons or
wants fresh candidates to be trained by itself.
2. The level of specialization and training required for employees.
3. Management policy towards recruitment whether it prefers internal or external
sources.
4. The need for originality and initiative required from employees.
5. Trade union’s attitude towards management’s recruitment policy. Internal
Sources: Internal sources of recruitment consist of personnel already working in
the enterprise. Many organizations fill job vacancies through promotions and
transfer of existing staff and it also refers to filling open jobs with the current
employees of the organization. It is a process designed to create sufficient interest
among the current employees to cause them to formally indicate an interest I a
given position. The position applied for may represent a promotion, transfer or
even demotion in the organisation.9 Internal sources: The main sources of
internal recruitment are as follows;
1. Present Employee: The most common source of internal recruitment is through
existing employees of organization Employees Referrals: It is also a good source of
internal recruitment. Employee develops good prospects for their families and
friends by acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the company
furnishing letters of introduction and even encouraging them to apply. This source
is an effective source of recruiting because many qualified people are reached at a
very low cost to the organization. A major limitation of employee’s referrals is that
the referred individuals are likely to be similar in type to those who are already
working in the organization.
3. Former Employees: Former employees are another internal source of
recruitment. Some retired employees may be willing to come back to work on a
part time basis or recommend someone who would be interested in working for
the company. Sometimes people who have left the company for some reason or
the other are willing to come back and work. An advantage of this source is that
the performance of these people is already known. Merits of Internal Sources:
Internal recruitment offers the following advantages.
a) It keeps employees happy and in high morale.
b) It creates a sense of security among employee. Employees know that they
stand the chance of promotion to higher positions. This induces them to work
harder so as to prove their worth.
d) Internal recruitment ensures continuity of employment and organizational
stability.
e) Prospects of transfer to new posts inspire employees to keep on adding to their
knowledge and experience which leads to their development.
f) Filling of vacancies from internal source is quite economical and convenient. No
time and money is to be spent on advertisement, tests and interview because the
knowledge and skill of employees is already known. There is no need for
orientation of employees for preparing them for the new job. Demerits of Internal
sources: Internal recruitment suffers from the following drawbacks:
a) Existing employees may not be fully qualified for the new job. Required talent
may not be available among the present staff.
b) All vacancies cannot be filled through internal sources. The enterprise has to
depend upon outside sources for entry level jobs.
c) Internal candidates become accustomed to the company’s work patterns and as
such may lack originality and fresh outlook. Therefore, internal recruitment
involves in breeding of ideas.
d) This method narrows the choice and denies the outsiders an opportunity to
prove their worth
Importance Of Recruitment Process:
Recruitment employee is extremely important in HR management as it ensures
that employees who wish to enter into the organization are a perfect fit for the
business, whilst further displaying the professionalism of the entire organization
at the very first moments a prospective employee wishes to onboard. Moreover,
recruitment importance in hrm includes gaining skilled employees, assures
cultural fit, saves time and money, improves employee satisfaction and ensures
positive brand image.
Saves Time and Money
Through the recruitment process, HR Managers are able to effectively ensure that
they can save time and money for the organization. This is seen whereby HR
managers will ensure throughout the hiring process that they will effectively hire
the right employee fit to meet organizational objectives effectively to avoid
wasting both time and money on looking for another employee if the hired
employee does not meet expectations
HR managers will do this through carefully selecting an employee who has if not
all, most of the skills that are expected for the job they are recruiting for.
Moreover, by doing so HR managers can reduce the cost of training employees,
this is seen whereby employees who have certain needed skills already developed
do not need extensive paid training. Furthermore, HR managers will avoid the cost
and time of training employees repeatedly if one employee Ensures Positive Brand
Image.
A final critical reason that recruitment is important in HR management is that HR
managers are able to acquire the benefit of ensuring a positive brand image is
maintained and further created. Specifically, throughout the recruitment process
employees who are learning about an organization and effectively have a positive
perception of the business are influenced through the meetings they have in
interviews on their perceptions of the business. Likewise, HR managers who
ensure that they conduct a positive interview will not negatively impact the brand
image of the business. Furthermore, HR managers can create and enhance an
organizational brand image as having a positive recruitment process which entices
people to believe that the organization is extremely great to work for. HR
professionals need to pay attention for the importance of recruitment in hrm to
ensure that they effectively keep a positive recruitment process in place to create
associated positive brand perceptions.
QUANTITY VS QUALITY
Lots of people believe that recruitment agencies are out for money. They think
that these agencies treat their candidates as another number. For recruiters to any
old CV to the client. Try to avoid these profit-motivated recruitment agencies.
Brite Recruitment keeps our client’s best interests at heart. We want to make the
correct placement, not a quick one.
Need for Human Resources on Recruitment Process:
The best recruiters know exactly who they’re looking for when hiring. They work
with their colleagues in HR to create ideal job profiles for every position in the
company. Each ideal profile outlines the responsibilities and success metrics for
the specific position. When it comes time to fill an open role, the recruiting team
can consult the job profile to determine the skills and background the ideal
candidate should have.
2. Organizational chart
Recruiters also work with HR to fill in an organizational hierarchy chart with the
different job profiles. This resource makes it easy to understand the structure of
each team and the overall company.
An org chart has many purposes, but it’s especially handy when it comes time to
assign a hiring manager to an open position, schedule interviews, and determine a
fair salary to offer. Microsoft Office provides an organizational chart template that
you can use to get started.
3. Staffing plan
Having a plan for future hires is so important for young, growing companies. The
company, and recruiting team in particular, should have a clear vision of the
positions they’ll need to hire for over the next 12+ months. If your company has
growth plans but no business staffing plan, work with your leadership team to
create one. The head of each department should know exactly what they need to
accomplish in the near future and who they’ll need to hire to make it happen.
4. Salary structure document Too many companies don’t think enough about
compensation until it’s time to make an offer. This approach can make for tricky
salary negotiations and result in pay disparity.
Successful recruiters have a fair salary range in mind throughout the hiring
process. They use a salary structure document that notes what each employee
earns to determine the right offer to make. It’s also a good idea to revisit salaries
every 6-12 months to ensure they align with what other companies pay. You never
want to lose a great employee to another company because they feel they’re
underpaid.
5. Job description template
Little time savers here and there make for an efficient hiring process. Smart
recruiters use job description templates pre-filled with information like the
company description and employee perks. All they have to do is plug in the
role-specific details and post it on job boards.
That said, job descriptions with unique, fun copy makes sense for some roles so
don’t feel like you always need to use your template, or that your template can
never update or change.
6. social media
When social media first became popular about a decade ago, many people feared
what they shared online could cost them a job. But savvy professionals started
using sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to showcase their skills and
background and others soon followed. These sites are now a fruitful candidate
source for recruiters. According to Glassdoor, 86 percent of people who are in the
first ten years of their career are likely to use social media in their job search.
Millennials and Home landers are the future of the workforce and the best
recruiters know how to connect with them online.
7. Skills tests
Ensuring a candidate has the necessary skills for the role is a must. But it can be
tough to know for sure, especially for technical positions. In these cases,
experienced recruiters ask the candidate to complete a skills assessment test. The
key is to create a test that helps you understand the candidate’s aptitude without
asking for too much of their time. Job searchers are busy and might not be willing
to complete a lengthy assignment for a job that hasn’t hired them yet.
8. Candidate assessment rubric
It’s always a good idea to have multiple team members participate in interviews
so you can get different opinions on the candidate. Successful recruiters ask each
member of their hiring team to complete the same rubric after the interview. It
forces the interviewer to think and provide insightful feedback instead of giving a
simple thumb up or down. Your ATS should make it easy for you to create a
post-interview questionnaire and share it with your hiring team members. Set
your company up for hiring success A lengthy and inefficient hiring process can
slow productivity and cost your company money. It can also cause your
organization to lose out on a great candidate who might have made a big
difference. Use the right technology and resources so your company finds, attracts
and hires the best people available.
Sampling:
Sample size: A random sample of persons from various parts of the country was
taken from the total population. Study Area: The study was conducted utilizing
Google forms and online surveys. Sampling Technique: For this investigation, a
random sample was chosen as the sampling technique. In such a way that all the
study’s requirements are met.
Tools For Data Collection:
The Data and the information presented here have been collected from two kinds
of resources:
Primary sources:
The respondents’ primary data was gathered through a structured questionnaire,
as well as observation. With the assistance of Google. Form prepares a
questionnaire and distribute it to the general public, with the responses being
gathered and surveyed. One type of primary sources is this.
Secondary sources:
Secondary data is information that has been gathered from primary sources and
made available to scholars for use in their research. Research publications can be
found on the website. Data is accessible over the internet.
Technologies in Hardware and software: Access to the internet using a personal
computer at home. Microsoft word and excel. The world wide web, often known
as the internet.
Data Analysis:
Tables, charts, and other relevant and essential visualizations will be used to
collect, organize, and evaluate data. The data will be interpreted, and this will
serve as the foundation for inferences and suggestions to help better comprehend
and conclude this study.
4. Lack of Coordination
It may happen that no two recruiters come to terms. This adversely affects the
quality of hire. If more than two recruiters are involved in any recruiting activity,
there are chances that there is a lack of communication and coordination. The
exact status of the candidature gets lost and no one is able to track the candidate’s
progress.
5. Deteriorating Quality of Hire
As there is a lot of manual work involved such as reverting to candidates, sending
notifications, scheduling interviews, formatting resumes, etc, the recruiters aren’t
left with a good amount of time for the interviews. Moreover, there is an
increased risk of bad candidate experience consequently affecting the employer’s
brand. The limitations of a dedicated recruitment team dominate more than its
benefits. Here is where an applicant tracking system comes to play. Not only it
automates the time-consuming recruitment tasks but improves the candidate as
well as the application experience.

One of the most critical recruitment and selection goEstablish a talent pool HR
professionals and recruiters have the resources they need to locate quality
applicants. Recruiters have a lot of experience discovering competent candidates
for their organization’s positions. The method guarantees that you have a larger
pool of candidates to pick from, all of whom have the necessary skills.
Recruit and retain top talent
A recruiter’s task is to locate and connect with candidates who possess the
necessary skills for the open position. Candidates are attracted to a well-written
job description that communicates the number of open positions, job duties,
credentials, and experience required. This is exactly what HR managers need to
communicate because a relevant job posting will attract more applicants.
Improve the hiring quality
als is to improve the quality of hiring measures. Pre-selection aids in reducing the
number of applications received to the most viable possibilities. It decreases the
recruiting manager’s workload and allows them to devote more time to the most
qualified prospects, drastically minimising the chances of disregarding a
candidate’s outstanding qualifications.
Determine who is compatible with the company’s culture.
Employees must align with the broader organizational vision; therefore, fitting in
is critical for both individual and organizational progress. So, hiring managers must
focus on individuals who will fit within the company’s culture. This can be
accomplished by utilizing personality assessments, culture assessments, and other
similar methods to discover individuals who are most likely to fit into the culture
and environment of your business.
Simplify the procedure
Organizations want to create and implement a streamlined recruitment and
selection process. Therefore, they must incorporate technology into all aspects of
the HR process, including screening, interviewing, and shortlisting. Sifting through
early resumes is one of the most time-consuming and ineffective components of
hiring, as HRs are guaranteed to receive at least a few unqualified applicants. The
first hiring stage can be greatly streamlined with an automated system that
displays which resumes match the most closely to the important job
requirements, expediting the interview process.
