job seekers.
Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a
pool of qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though

staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for a ttracting that
manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient
working force.
Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which
helps create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the
management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool.
The main objective of the recruitment proce ss is to expedite the selection
process.

Feature of Recruitment
1. Recruitment is a process or series of action.
2. It is a linking activi ty as it brings employer and prospective employees
together.
3. It is a positive function.
4. The Basic function of recruitment is to locate the sources of people
required to meet the job requirements.
5. Recruitment is a tow -way function as it takes both recruiter and
recruits together.
6. Recruitment is a complex job as many factors affect it, e.g. Image of
the organization, Nature of job offered, organization policies etc.
22
RECRUITMENT NEEDS ARE OF THREE TYPES
Planned:
i.e. the needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy.
Anticipated:
Anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization
can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment.
Unexpected:
Resignation, deaths, accidents and illness etc. give rise to unexpected needs.
RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure form sourcing the
candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many
resources and time.
A General Recruitment Process
1. Identify vacancy

FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is naturall y subject to influence of several factors. These include
external as well internal forces.
Internal Factors External Factors
1. Recruitment policy RECRUITMENT 1. Supply and Demand
2. HRP 2. Unemployment rate
3. Size of the firm 3. Labor Market
4. Cost of 4. Political- Social

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its
recruitment processes from TWO kinds of sources: internal and external
sources.
The sources within the organization itself to fill a position are known
as the INTERNAL SOURCES of recruitment.
Recruitment candidates from all the other sources are known as the
EXTERNALSOURCES of recruitment.

RECENT TRENDS IN RECRUITMENT
The following trends are being seen in recruitment:
OUTSOURCING
In India, the HR processes are being outsourced from more than a decade
now. A company may draw required personnel from outsourcing firms. The
outsourcing firms help the organization by the initial screening of the
candidates according to the needs of the organization and creating a suitable
pool of talent for the final selection by the organization. Outsourcing firms
develop their human resource pool by employing people for them and make
available personnel to various companies as per their needs. In turn, the
outsourcing firms or the intermediaries ch arge the organizations for their
services.
POACHING/RAIDING:-
“Buying talent” (rather than developing it) is the latest mantra being
followed by the organizations today. Poaching means employing a competent
and experienced person already working with anot her reputed company in the
same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the
industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering
attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions, better than the
current employer of the candidate. But it is seen as an unethical practice and
not openl y talked about. Indian software and the retail sector are the sectors
facing the most severe brunt of poaching today. It has become a challenge for
human resource managers to face an d tackle poaching, as it weakens the
competitive strength of the firm.
26
E-RECRUITMENT:-
Many big organizations use Internet as a source of recruitment. E -
Recruitment is the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. The y
advertise job vacanci es through worldwide web. The job seekers send their
applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e mail using the Internet.
Alternativel y job seekers place their CV’s in worldwide web, which can be
drawn by prospective employees depending upon their r equirements.
Advantages of recruitment are:
Low cost.
No intermediaries
Reduction in time for recruitment.
Recruitment of right type of people.
Efficiency of recruitment process.
27
Recruitment Strategies:-
Recruitment is of the most crucial roles of the human resource professionals.
The level of performance of and organization depends on the effectiveness of
its recruitment function. Organizations have developed and follow
recruitment strategies to hire the best talent for their organization and to
utilize their resources optimall y. A successful recruitment strategy should be
well planned and practical to attract more and good talent to appl y in the
organization.
For formulating an effective and successful re cruitment strategy, the
strategy should cover the following elements:
1. Identifying and prioritizing jobs
Requirements keep arising at various levels in every organization; it is
almost a never -ending process. It is impossible to fill all the positions
immediatel y. Therefore, there is a need to identify the positions requiring
immediate attention and action. To maintain the qualit y of the recruitment
activities, it is useful to prioritize the vacancies whether to focus on all
vacancies equall y or focusing on key jobs first.
2. Candidates to target
The recruitment process can be effective onl y if the organization completel y
understands the requirements of the t ype of candidates that are required and
will be beneficial for the organization. This covers the f ollowing parameters
as well:
Performance level required: Different strategies are required for
focusing on hiring high performers and average performers.
Experience level required: the strategy should be clear as to what is the
experience level required by the organization. The candidate’s
28
experience can range from being a fresher to experienced senior
professionals.
Category of the candidate: the strategy should clearl y define the target
candidate. He/she can be from the same industry, different industry,
unemployed, top performers of the industry etc.
3. Sources of recruitment
The strategy should define various sources (external and internal) of
recruitment. Which are the sources to be used and focused for the recruitment
purposes for various positions? E mployee referral is one of the most effective
sources of recruitment.
4. Trained recruiters
The recruitment professionals conducting the interviews and the other
recruitment activities should be well -trained and experienced to conduct the
activities. They should also be aware of the major parameters and skills (e.g.:
behavioral, technical etc.) to focus while interviewing and selecting a
candidate.
5. How to evaluate the candidates
The various parameters and the ways to judge them i.e. the entire
recruitment process should be planned in advance. Like the rounds of
technical interviews, HR interviews, written tests, psychometric tests etc.
HR CHALLENGES IN RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is a function that requires business perspective, expertise,
abilit y to find and match the best potential candidate for the organization,
diplomacy, marketing skills (as to sell the position to the candidate) and
wisdom to align the recruitment processes for t he benefit of the organization.
The HR professionals – handling the recruitment function of the
organization- are constantl y facing new challenges. The biggest challenge for
29
such professionals is to source or recruit the best people or potential
candidate for the organization.
In the last few years, the job market has undergone some fundamental
changes in terms of technologies, sources of recruitment, competition in the
market etc. In an already saturated job market, where the practices like
poaching and raiding are gaining momentum, HR professionals are constantl y
facing new challenges in one of their most important function - recruitment.
They have to face and conquer various challenges to find the best candidates
for their organizations.
The major challenges faced by the HR in recruitment are:
Adaptabilit y to globalization – The HR professionals are expected and
required to keep in tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes
taking place across the globe. HR should maintain the timeliness of the
process
Lack of motivation – Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job.
Even if the organization is achieving results, HR department or
professionals are not thanked for recruiting the right employees and
performers.
Process anal ysis – The immediacy and spee d of the recruitment process
are the main concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be
flexible, adaptive and responsive to the immediate requirements. The
recruitment process should also be cost effective.
Strategic prioritization – The emerging new systems are both an
opportunit y as well as a challenge for the HR professionals. Therefore,
reviewing staffing needs and prioritizing the tasks to meet the changes
in the market has become a challenge for the recruitment professionals.
30
Recruiting Expatriates
Expatriate is a person who leaves his country to work and live in a foreign
country. Generall y, expatriates are the nationals from the other countries than
the host and the MNC’s parent country, i.e. expatriates are the third country
nationals.
The unavailabilit y of the required skills and talents takes the organization to
source talent from other countries. The procedures and processes of
recruiting and selecting the human resources are never uniform even within a
single organization. The proced ures vary according to the post, the skill set
required, the nature of work etc. More of it is seen in the case of recruitment
of expatriates. The recruitment and selection procedures and considerations
are drasticall y different for expatriates than that o f the domestic employees.
Recruitment of expatriates involves greater time, monetary resources and
other indirect costs. Improper recruitment and selection can cause the
expatriates to return hastil y or a decline in their performance.
A mismatch between j ob (its requirements) and people can reduce the
effectiveness of other human resource activities and can affect the
performance of the employees as well as the organization.
Recruiting expatriates require special considerations and skills to select the
best person for the job. Except for a few expatriate selection policies, the
expatriate selection criterion is generall y organization and nation specific.
The recruiters for recruiting the expatriates should be carefull y selected and
trained. The recruitment strategies for expatriates should be aligned with
requirements of the job. The interviews of expatriates are designed in a
manner to judge there:
Adaptabilit y to the new culture
Intercultural interaction
31
Flexibilit y
Professional expertise
Past international work experience
Tolerance and open-mindedness
Famil y situation
Language abilit y
Attitude and motivation
Empathy towards local culture
A few researches in this field also suggest that women are morel likel y to be
successful in certain positions as expatriates as they are more sensitive
towards new culture and people. Recruitment of expatriates should be
followed by cultural and sensitivit y training, and language training.
32
Head Hunting
Headhunting ref ers to the approach of finding and attracting the best
experienced person with the required skill set. Headhunting involves
convincing the person to join your organization.
Identify the prospective employee
Hold a talk with the candidate
Candidate Look for some other candidate
Interested
Call for a formal discussion
Job
Look for some other candidate
offer
Ask the person to join and submit the
all necessary document
33
SELECTION
It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify
and hire those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.
Once the recruiting effort has developed a pool of candidates, the next step in
the HRM process is to determine who is best qualified for the job. This step
is called the selection process. The enterprise decides whether to make a job
offer and how attractive the offer should be. The job candidate decides
whether the enterprise and the job offer fit his or her needs and personal
goals. The process also seeks to predict which applicants will be successful if
hired. Success, in this case, means performing well on the criteria
the enterprise uses to evaluate employees
OUTCOMES OF THE SELECTION DECISION

34
Correct Selection Decisions are those where the candidate was predicted to
be successful in advance and prove to be successful on the job. At times the
applicant is predicted to be unsuccessful and, as expected, performs
unsatisfactoril y after getting selected. While in the first case, the worker is
successfull y accepted; in the later the worker is successfull y rejected.
Errors arise when we reject a candidate who would have performed
successfull y on the job. This is termed as reject error. In certain situations a
worker is accepted ultimatel y and performs unsatisfactoril y. This is called
accept error.

Selection is a long process, commencing from the preliminary interview of
the applicants and ending with the contract of employment.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
Theories Regarding Recruitment:
Recruitment is two way street:
It takes recruiter and a recruitee: It takes a recruiter and a recruitee recruiter
has a choice whom to recruit and whom not;
As per Behring et al, there are three ways in which a prospective employee
makes a decision to join an organization.
Accordingl y, the following three theories of recruitment have been evolved:
Objective factor theory
Subjective factor theory
Critical contact theory
These theories can be explained as follows:
Objective Factor Theory
It assumes that the applicants are rational. As per this theory, the choice of
organization by a potential employee depends on objective assessment of
tangible factors such as; Pay package, Location, Opportunit y per career
growth, Nature of work and Educational opportunities. The employer
according to this theory considers certain factors among others; educational
qualification, years of experience and special qualification/experience.
Subjective Factor Theory
The decision making is dominated by social and psychological factors. The
status of the job, reputation of the organization and other similar factors
plays an important role.
According to this theory, compatibilit y of individual personalit y with the
image of organization is decisive factor in choosing an organization by
individual candidate seeking for employment. These subjective factors are;
Personal compatibility for the position, Competence and Best fit.
52
Critical Factor Theory
The critical factors observed by the candidate during his interaction with the
organization play a vital role in decision making. Recruiter being in touch
with the candidate, romptness of response and similar factors are important.
This theory is more valid with the experienced professionals.
There are instances when a candidate is unable to choose an organization out
of alternative based on Objective and Subjective factor(s) listed abo ve. This
is due to many reasons such as limited contact and insufficient data with
regards to the organization or its own inabilit y to anal yze and come to ant
conclusion. In such cases, certain critical factors observed by the manager
during interview and contact with personnel of the organization will have
profound influence in his decision process.
It must be noted that, the theoretical base given above by Behling et al was
mostl y influenced by the working condition which existed in developed
countries li ke The United States of America and European countries. In these
countries, vacancies are many and there is scarcit y of suitable hands unlike in
developing countries like Cameroon where vacancies are less and hands are
more resulting to large scarce unempl oyment. The theoretical base given
above cannot be applied in developing countries except in hid paid jobs
where higher skills and better knowledge are the prerequisites. In such cases,
candidates have variet y of choices and he is the master of his choice. In
production, servicing and clerical jobs, unemployment is where the number of
job seekers far exceeds the vacancies.
In such a situation, candidates have little choice and such, grab whatever
organization call him or her for employment. In such a case, the potential
organization is in a better place to choose the candidates from the many
available.
53
Hence, the recruitment process should be that of filtering and re -distributing
potential candidates not onl y, for actual or anticipated organization vacancies
but also searching for prospective employee.
From Behling‟s review, it could be assessed that work ers output will increase
due to certain objectives of motivating them through regular payment. This
will help to influence their working conditions thereby making them to be
effective at work.
Problems arise when unemployment rate is high and the number of those
seeking for jobs far exceeds the vacancies that exist. In this case, candidates
have little choice to be offered the job in the institution. Though t hey possess
the knowledge, education, the process should be to filter and re-discover
their potentials.
When this happens, right (qualified) employees should be placed in the right
positions and as a result, it will lead to an increase in productivit y.
Due to the subjective factor of a candidate being best fit for the job, it is not
the best procedure to determine whether his output will increase or decrease
but it should be ssessed from the critical factor observed during interview
and the contact with the personnel of the organization that will influence his
productivit y and his decision making.
Personality–Job Fit Theory
The personalit y–job fit theory postulates that a person's personalit y traits
will reveal insight as to adaptabilit y within an organization. The degree of
confluence between a person and the organization is expressed as their
Person-Organization (P -O) fit. This also referred to as a person–environment
fit. A common measure of the P -O fit is workplace efficacy; the rate at which
workers are able to complete tasks. These tasks are mitigated by workplace
environs- for example, a worker who works more efficientl y as an individual
54
than in a team will have a higher P-O fit for a workplace that stresses
individual tasks (such as accountan cy). By matching the right personalit y
with the right company workers can achieve a better synergy and avoid
pitfalls such as high turnover and low job satisfaction. Employees are more
likel y to stay committed to organizations if the fit is 'good'.
In practice, P -O fit would be used to gauge integration with organizational
competencies. The Individual is assessed on these competencies, which
reveals efficacy, motivation, influence, and co-worker respect. Competencies
can be assessed using various tools like psychological tests, competency
based interview, situational anal ysis, etc.
If the Individual displays a high P -O fit, we can say that the Individual would
most likel y be able to adjust to the company environment and wor k culture,
and would be able to perform at an optimum level.

FINDINGS
According to the Survey, Recruitment differs from company to
company for each category.
According to the Survey, the company does utilize internet sites for
the recruitment process and f or finding the talent candidate.
According to survey it is observed that the company is utilizing the
job description in order to make screening process more efficient .
Limitation of the study:
The study is subjected to the following limitations
The study is based on the data provided by the company statements so,
the limitations of the company’s employees remaining are equall y
applicable.
In some cases data is collected from the companies past r ecords.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS
Who makes employee evaluation and selection decisions? In most
organizations both operating managers and personnel specialists are involved
in selections decisions. Generall y, more effective employee evaluation and
selection decisions are made when more than one person is involved in the
decision making process. The operating manager should have more to say
about the evaluation and selection decision than their HR specialist.
Employee evaluation and selection criteria
If an evaluation / selection program is to be successful the employee
characteristics which are believed necessary for effective performance on the
job should be stated explicitl y in the job specification. The criteria usuall y
can best summarized in the following categories: Education
57
Experience
Physical Characteristics
Personal Characteristics
Basicall y, the employee evaluation and selection criteria should list the
characteristics of present employees who have performed well in the
positions to be filled. Ho wever, if the list of characteristics desired is too
long, it may not be possible to select anyone. With no list of criterion, the
wrong prospects are likel y to be selected.
These predictors of success, particularly the more formal mechanisms
such as items on a paper and pencil test, have two characteristics:
Reliabilit y
Validit y
The reliabilit y of an employee evaluation and selection instrument, such
as a test, is the extent to which the instrument is a consistent measure of
something. An intelligence test is said to be reliable, if the same person's
scores do not vary greatl y whe n the test is taken several times. The higher the
reliabilit y, the more confidence can be placed in the measurement method.
Usuall y, the instrument is more reliable if it is longer. The instrument used
must also be internall y consistent to be considered re liable, which is a good
predictor of success for the job performance in question.
Reliabilit y and validit y can be thought of in the following way. A
yardstick is a reliable measure of space; no matter how many times you
carefull y measure a basketball playe r, he will be the same height. But a
58
yardstick has no validit y as a measure of his muscular coordination. Thus a
selection device such as a test may be reliable without being valid.
Human resource specialists can compute the validit y of a selection instrum ent
several ways.
One way, is to look at the currentl y successful employees, find a factor
that is common to them, and designate it as a predictor. This is called
concurrent validit y.
A second way is to use an instrument such as a test during the
evaluati on / selection process, then wait until the successful employees
are identified and correlate the test or test measures with the successful
and unsuccessful employees. This is called predictive validit y.
A third way, sometimes used by smaller organization s, because the
numbers of persons in similar jobs is too small to use concurrent or
predictive methods, is called synthetic validit y. In this case, elements
of several jobs that are similar, rather than a whole job, are used to
validate the selection instr ument. This method is newer than the other
two and we used less frequentl y.
It should be noted that the criterion used to predict performance or
success is a prox y of actual performance. Since good job performance is
usuall y a combination of many factors (qualit y of work, quantit y of work,
etc.), a criterion such as a supervisory rating is a prox y for the real measure,
job success or performance.
59
JOB ANALYSIS
60
Job Analysis
Job anal ysis can be defined as the determination of the essential
characteristics of a job in order to produce a job specification. A job
specification is a written statement of the essential characteristics of a job
including necessary qualifications, duties, responsibilities and d egree of
authorit y of the job holder.
The purposes for which a job anal ysis is required can be
To establish criteria for selection and performance appraisal,
To establish training and development programs,
For job evaluation
Remuneration purposes,
To assist in job design and
For organizational restructuring purposes.
Job anal ysis also has important implications for fair employment practices.
In order to demonstrate job relatedness in emp loyee selection, the criteria
utilized should be directl y related to, or embody constructs associated with
job performance.
Therefore the purpose of the job anal ysis will determine which information is
considered important, and which HR specialist skills ( e.g., training,
selection, and job evaluation) would be most relevant.
The nature of the information elicited from job anal ysis incorporates the
following:
61
The nature of the work activities, including work procedures or
processes, human behavior, physical job demands, personal
responsibilit y and accountabilit y.
The machinery and equipment used.
The nature of the work inputs and outputs, e.g. raw materials a nd
finished goods.
Work performance, including productivit y standards and product
qualit y specifications.
Job context, incorporating the work the organizational environment,
societal context, compensation and motivational factors.
Personal requirements of incumbents, including requisite knowledge
and skills, aptitudes, physical and psychological characteristics.
Thus, in anal ysing a job, an attempt is made to measure various aspects of
that job. As mentioned previousl y, effective measurement requires re liable
and valid measures. To ensure this, more than one ratter or rating technique
should be used, eliciting both qualitative and quantitative data. Methods of
collecting this data include.
Job interviews and / or observing employees at their work place, using
structured or unstructured approaches.
Interviewing individual workers away from their work place.
Interviewing groups of workers.
Interviewing supervisors and technical specialists.
Utilizing structured or open ended questionnaires.
Requiring workers to complete self-report diaries.
62
Application of job analysis
Job anal ysis is used for three important purposes in the employment
process.
First, it provides information for compiling job descriptions. A Job
description t ypicall y contains a brief su mmary of the nature of the job,
and lists the duties and responsibilities thereof.
Second, job anal ysis assists in the compiling of job specifications. Job
specifications set out the traits and characteristics considered to be
essential for successful job performance. These include education
level, relevant experience, skill level or physical characteristics. Job
descriptions and specifications are generall y used in combination for
recruitment purposes. They enable accurate information dissemination,
which, in turn, maximizes the number of appropriate applicants.
The third purpose, for which job anal ysis is used, is in the development
of selection criteria, criterion measures and predictors.
In doing job anal ysis, the tasks are extracted from the job description,
if available, and listed in a column. The line manager together with the
personnel specialist and the immediate supervisor of the person to be
recruited then complete the skills and knowledge column. (N.B. In the PDF
version of this article, s ample pro forma are given.)
In this manner a very clear picture emerges of the total job. Based on
this information both HR and line management are in a better position to
structure a job interview that could lead to an effective selection decision; a
one where the most appropriate person is hired.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
64
CONCLUSION
Recruitment is fair.
The recruitment should not be lengthy.
To some extent a clear picture of the required candidate should be
made in order to Search for appropriate candidates.
Most of the employees were satisfied but changes are required
according to the changing Scenario as recruitment process has a great
impact on the worki ng of the company as a fresh blood, new idea enters
in the company.
During Summer Training we search out various roles and function of
different department in SIP L Works. The entire department has three
different functions but the goal of each department i s same i.e. to achieve the
high targets in the market as well as to provide satisfaction to customers
through products and employees through their welfare.
Generall y the main role play in this company was Human Resource
department. They perform all the ma in function related to the company. From
recruitment to employee welfare they perform all the function which helps
the employee and organization to achieve their targets.
We search out the various process of Human Resource in SIPL, and we
come in conclusion that in this unit all the process of Human Resource i.e.
Training & Development, Selection, Probation, Employee Welfare, Customer
Satisfaction etc. is done but the main process i.e. Recruitment is not done in
this unit. It is at SIPL Head Office in Delh i.
65
SUGGESTION
In this SIP L Lucknow office, we saw that there is some department in
which different function perform in one department which is too hard for the
staff member, like in time office. The work perform by the staff is the
securit y as well as follow-up rules of the government and the company in the
employees.
For example- renders the returns of government, implement
government rules and policies, as well as control the man & material in &
out.
By saw this, we suggest that there should be separate
department for different functions for which the flow of work of
the staff should be smooth and efficient
