3. ABSTRACT
ecruitment means an activity which refers to the discovery and searching
of workers in the enterprise at the time they are required. It involves
locating, maintaining and contacting the sources of man power. It is the
process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. In today's
rapidly changing business environment, organizations have to respond quickly to
requirements for people. Hence, it is important to have a well-defined recruitment
policy in place, which can be executed effectively to get the best fits for the vacant
positions. Selecting the wrong candidate or rejecting the right candidate could turn
out to be costly mistakes for the organization.
“Recruitment is the process of searching for perspective employees and stimulating
them to apply for jobs in organization.”

PROCESSOF RECRUITMENT
1. Application confirmation- Make sure you receive a confirmation of your
application – note that only applications sent in using the link in the job ad will be
included in the process, this is to ensure that all candidates are given the same fair
treatment.
2. Interviews- At the latest a week after the last day of application, the candidates
who best fulfil the requirements will be invited to a 1st interview.

5. 3. Assessment- To help us perform the best role-candidate fit possible, we use
assessments as a complement to some of our interviews. These are performed by a
third party.
4. Manager’s manager interview- This is mainly applied for our more senior
positions where you will get the chance to meet with the manager’s manager.
5. Reference check- Reference checking allows us to obtain independent
information about our candidates’ previous on the job performance. You will
provide the references of your choice in discussion with the hiring manager and no
one will be contacted without your knowledge.
6. Feedback- The hiring manager will personally inform all candidates that we
have met with personally, but who are not selected for the position, with a proper
motivation.
METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
The methods of Recruitment can mainly be divided into two parts: Internal and
External
1) Internal Recruitment: Internal recruitment means the recruitment from
within the organization. It is a very important source of recruitment. This
method is generally used to fill up the vacancies at various levels through
promotions, transfers and recalling of the employees. This recruitment
policy provides the opportunity of development of the employees of the
enterprise. It offers the challenges before them so that they may try to do
their work with the best of their ability and efficiency. It increases their
morale. It makes available reliable, efficient and experienced employees to
the enterprise.

6. 2) External Recruitment: Since the vacancies at all the levels cannot be filled
up through internal methods of recruitment, therefore, outside sources are
necessary for all organizations. Main sources of external recruitment are as
follows:
i) Former Employees. Former employees mean the employees who have
left the organization by any reason or who were terminated because of
any reason.
ii) Friends and relatives of present employees. This is the most popular
sourceof recruitment, particularly in private enterprises.
iii)Application at the gate. Some candidates contact the personnel
department of the enterprise to get the employment. It found suitable,
some vacancies may be filled up through them.
iv) Employment Exchange. Employment exchange is an important external
source of recruitment. The government has created a network of
employment exchange maintained detailed records of the candidate.
Whenever an enterprise notifies the vacancies to the exchange,
appropriate candidates are referred by the exchange to the employers.
v) Educational Institutions. Colleges, Universities and other Educational
Institutions are also an important sourceof external recruitment.
vi) Previous Applicants. Although not truly an external source, those who
have previously applied for jobs can be contacted by mail, a quick and
inexpensive way to fill an unexpected opens.
vii) Advertisement. Advertisement is the most important source of external
recruitment. The advertisement may be in News Papers, Magazine etc.
viii) Other Companies. Sometimes, the officers of higher cadre working
in other companies are appointed by offering them more attractive
salaries.

7. ix) Labour Unions. Labour unions can be very useful in the recruitment of
labour force. The workers may be recruited in the required number by
contacting the officers of labour unions.
FACTORS GOVERNINGRECRUITMENT
Given its key and external visibility, recruitment is naturally subject to influence of
several factors. These include external as will as internal forces.
Internal Factors
One such internal factor is the recruiting policy of the organization. Most
organizations have a policy of recruiting internally (from own employees) or
externally (from outside organization). Generally, the policy is to prefer internal
sourcing, as own employees know the company well and can recommend
candidates who fit the organization’s culture.
A major internal factor that can determine the success of the recruiting
programmer is whether or not the company engages in HRP. In most cases, a
company cannot attract prospective employees in sufficient numbers and with
required skills overnight. It takes time to examine the alternatives regarding the
appropriate sources of recruits and the most productive methods for obtaining
them. Once the best alternatives have been identified, recruiting plans may be
made. Effective HRP greatly facilitates the recruiting efforts.
External Factor
If the demand for a particular skill is high relative to the supply, an extraordinary
recruiting effort may be needed. For instance, the demand for programmers and
financial analysts is likely to be higher then their supply, as opposed to the
demand-supply relationship for non-technical employees.
Another external factor is political and legal considerations. Reservation of jobs for
SCs, STs, minorities, and other backward classes (OBCs) is an inevitable political
decision. There is a strong case for giving preference to people hailing form less-
advantaged section of the society. Reservation has been accepted as inevitable by
all sections of the society.

8. The company’s image also matters in attracting large number of job seekers. Blue
chip companies attract large number of applications. Often, it is not the money that
is important. It is the perception of the job-seekers about the company that matters
in attracting qualified people.
