Executive summary
Today, in every organization personnel planning as an
activity is necessary. It is an important part of an
organization. Human Resource Planning is a vital
ingredient for the success of the organization in the long
run. There are certain ways that are to be followed by every
organization, which ensures that it has right number and
right kind of people, at the right place and right time, so
that organization can achieve its planned objective.
The objectives of Human Resource Department are Human
Resource Planning, Recruitment and Selection, Training
and Development, Career planning, Transfer and
Promotion, Risk Management, Performance Appraisal and
so on. Each objective needs special attention and proper
planning and implementation.
For every organization it is important to have a right person
on a right job. Recruitment and Selection plays a vital role
in this situation. Shortage of skills and the use of new
technology are putting considerable pressure on how
employers go about Recruiting and Selecting staff. It is
recommended to carry out a strategic analysis of
Recruitment and Selection procedure.

With reference to this context, this project is been prepared
to put a light on Recruitment and Selection process. This
project includes Meaning and Definition of Recruitment and
Selection, sources of Recruitment, constraints of
Recruitment Process, and no. of selection tests through
which an Organization gets induction and orientation
programs. Need for study, objectives and scope of study.
Recruitment and Selection are simultaneous process and are
incomplete without each other. They are important
components of the organization and are different from each
other. Since all the aspect needs practical example and
explanation this project includes Recruitment and selection
Process of ITC. And a practical case study it also contains
addresses of various and top placement consultants and the
pricelist of advertisements in the magazine.

INTRODUCTION OF HUMAN RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT
Organization exists for people. The behavior and level of performance
of the people will show their effect on the organization. Human resource
management can be defined as that part of management process which
develops, and manages the human elements of enterprise considering the
resourcefulness of the organization own people in terms of total knowledge,
skill, creative, abilities, talents, aptitudes and potentialities for actuating
effectively.
Human Resource Management is the process of managing the people
of an organization with a human approach. Human Resource approach to
manpower is the most essential an indispensable resource of any
organization. There is a need to look at the HRD concepts, components and
mechanisms more comprehensively and in an integrated way as people
related functions rather than isolate them from personnel functions or
industrial relations aspects. Employee’s participation in management is no
longer an idealistic or ideological conception. It is an imperative need to
cope with change in organization. It is in the context of changing profile of
people with high expectations and the demands for high performance.
Manpower planning is incorporated into human resource planning,
recruitment, selection, supervision, such other functions of personnel
management from part of HRM, other aspects like human resource
development, career planning and development, constant efforts for
5

appraisal, research and feedback system, data storage and so on receiving
greater attention to the people at work backed by welfare amenities and
cordial industrial relations, policies must also be an integral part of HRM. In
the HRM approach, personnel function is not merely record keeping
function. Rather it is a constant endeavor to motivate the people at work to
foster an oneness with the organization and its performance goals. This is
achieved neither through pressure tactics nor through conflicts and struggles,
but through constant cooperation, team-building and mutual understanding.
HRM is concerned with the effective and efficient use of the
organization’s human resources. We need human resources to run our
operations. Hence, we need to attract and hire the best employees possible.
One of the functions of a human resources management departmental is to
attract potential employees. Having attracted potential employees, we need
to be able to choose the best of these applicants. Furthermore, having hired
employees, we need to train them if we expect them to function effectively.
HRM also involves the maintenance of human resources. This includes the
issue of compensation.

Human Resource Management:
“Human Resource Management is a series of decisions that affect the
relationship between the employees and the employers; it affects many
constituents and is intended to influence the effectiveness of the employees
and employer”.
HRM--- effective and efficient use of the organization’s human
resources within most organizations, considerable thought is given to the
effective and efficient use of financial resources. This is called “Financial
Management” and “Marketing Management” concerns itself with the
promotion and sale of the organization’s products.
HRM is concerned with the effective and efficient use of the
organization’s human resources. What kind of human resources (employees)
we need? How to procure them? How to select only the best? How to ensure
that the people chosen can do the jobs in the way which is expected them to
do? How to measure their effectiveness? Human resource management
meets all these.
Once our employees are functioning effectively, we need to ensure
that they continue to do so; we need to concern ourselves with their
motivation. In the case of hiring, we need to decide what kind of employee
we’re looking for? When engaged in the selection process, we must decide
which of the applicants will actually be the best employee? HRM also
7

involves the main penance of human resources. This includes the issue of
compensation. Theories of motivation also point out employees needs for
feedback therefore; we need to be able to determine when our employees are
doing a good job.
There is a need to understand the jobs that our employees are
performing and, to understand their jobs, we need to do a job analysis.
Essentially, the job analysis forms the core of the human resource
management function. In doing a job analysis, we are essentially gathering
raw data about the jobs in our organizations. Human Resource Development
has been defined as an organized learning experience, conducted in a
definite time period, to increase the possibility of improving job
performance and growth.
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
The Employment Process:
On the face of recruitment and selection seem to be a fairly straight
forward procedure. Its objectives to place the right people in the right place
to achieve organizational goals. Recruitment and selection are only two
activities or stages in what can be called the employment process. It can be
divided into five stages
 Manpower Planning
 Job Analysis
8

 Recruitment
 Selection
 Induction and follow up
An effective employment process requires that each of these stages or
activities must be gone through in an entire and systematic manner.
Recruitment and selection allow management to determine and
gradually modify the behavioral characteristic and competence of the
workforce.
Manpower Planning:
Manpower planning enables a department to projectiles short to long
term needs on the basis of its departmental plans. So that it can adjust its
manpower requirements to meet changing priorities the more changing the
environment the department.
 The number of requirements in a specified timeframe and the
availability of talent.
 Early indications of potential recruitment or retention difficulties
 Availability of suitable qualified and experienced successors.
9

Job Analysis:
It consists of defining the job and discovering what the job demands
in terms of employee behavior. Job analysis forms the basis of a number of
personnel activities such as job evaluation, job design, and performance.
Appraisal with regard to the employment process and recruitment and
selection in particular job analysis clarifies the duties and responsibilities of
a job, the knowledge, skills and expertise required to undertake it.
First Way: You ask the employees to prepare their own job description.
Second Way: Ask the manager or supervisor of the employee to prepare a
job description.
Third Way: Employ a trained job analyst and interviews the employees.
In any job description/job specification there are five key areas:
 Job title
 Job Purpose
 Key results area
 Who the employee reports to
 Responsibilities
10

Recruitment:-
Edwin B. Flippo defined recruitment as “The process of searching
for the prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the
organization”.
Thus there are two states in the recruitments
1. Searching for suitable candidate for job and
2. Motivating and encouraging them to apply for jobs.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Internal Sources of Recruitment:-
The main sources of internal recruitment are promotion, transfer
and demotion.
There are many advantages of using the internal labor market.
An accurate knowledge of the employee and their performance
internal recruitment can have a positive impact on employee moral. Some
organizations believe that this approach can increase employee loyalty and
commitment.
11

External Sources of Recruitment:
There are four main sources
 Unsolicited Applications: These are people who have submitted their
CV to the organization on a speculative basis. They should be kept on
file in the organization and used as a source of suitable candidates
when the occasion arises.
 Schools and Colleges: Many companies have developed links with
particular schools and colleges, which they use as a recruiting source.
 Recruitment agencies and consultancies: Apparently, there is
extensive use of recruitment agencies, contracting out the recruitment
task has a number of advantages for the organization.
 Media Advertising: This is the most widely known method of
recruitment. It has 3 main objectives. Attract suitable candidates to
apply, discourage unsuitable candidates from applying, promote
organizations public image.
12

CONSTRAINTS ON RECRUITMENT
Logically, firms would seek to recruit in a manner that guarantees the
greatest number of qualified applicants. However, there are often constraints
on the recruitment process, which prohibits some methods.
Some of these constraints are
1. Organizational Policies
2. Affirmative-action programs
3. Recruiter Habits
4. Environmental Conditions
5. Job Requirements
Organizational plans
Another organizational policy that could potentially constrain recruitment
efforts is a firm’s compensation policy
 Affirmative-action plans: Occasionally, firms may adopt affirmative
action policies. An effort to attain a workforce that is more
representative of the general populace. In efforts to increase
workforce diversity, firms may choose to voluntarily hire persons with
specific characteristics; more often, law mandates such affirmative
action policies.
13

 Recruiter habits: Recruiter habits many also constitute a recruitment
constraint. For example past successes may lead to habits or preferred
tendencies in recruitment. One recruiter, who had played rugby, had
considerable success recruiting other rugby enthusiast. Where as he
had luckily had this initial success, he wants so far as to overtly seek
out rugby players in his recruitment obviously, rugby skills are not
necessarily indicators of job-related success, such recruiter habit, do
not constitute good recruitment practices. In the end, such habits may
actually perpetuate past mistakes.
 Job Requirements: - Generally, skilled workers are more difficult to
find than unskilled workers. A limited pool of potential applicants
causes firms to use different recruiting techniques. Where as an
advertisement placed in a news paper’s classified section may serve to
attract unskilled workers, recruitment of skilled workers requires
more.
 Job Posting: It is one of the most effectively used comparative
mechanisms. The candidates design it and it will contain information
they wish to convey and may get internal recruitment. Further, job
posting help employees feel they have some control over their future
in the organization.
 Environmental Conditions: In many unionized environments,
policies may restrict the number of part-time employees working for
the firm. This is clearly a recruitment constraint in so far as it places
14

limitations on the firm. However, it may well also limit the number of
applicants because some very highly qualified applicants may simply
prefer part-time employment.
 Employ Referrals: Another common recruitment methodology is the
employee referral. To fill job vacancies, present employees refer job
seekers to the HR department as potential employees
SELECTION
During recruitment, it is important to have a large pool of qualified
recruits. However, after having recruited this large number of job applicants,
organizations must weed out the unqualified ones and then select the very
best remaining candidates for the job. A well designed selection process will
yield information about a candidate’s skills and weaknesses.
There are some legal considerations involved in the selection of new
employees. The fear of wrongful termination lawsuits has caused many
companies to become far more concerned about whom they hire. If a
company has selective in its hiring practices, it can reduce the instances
when it will be necessary to terminate employees.
15

Short-listing is the process to which a number of applicants are
chosen from the total number of candidates further assessment before
making a final decision. Applicants may be divided into 3 categories
 The marginal
 The suitable, possible
 The unsuitable
Step 1:
 Preliminary Selection: Preliminary selection of applicants is often
done by setting minimum standards for the job, and communicating
these standards for the job, and communicating these standards to the
employees, and agencies that help to recruit. The fact that some
potential applicants may not apply because of their inability to meet
the minimum requirements serves as an initial screening device.
Step 2:
 Initial screening: The initial screening is done to select only the
suitable candidates through the further stages in selection them, when
reviewing resumes and applications forms, firms are further able to
screen out unacceptable job candidates. At this point, firms can also
assign priorities to the resumes so that the most promising candidates
may be seen first.
16

Step 3:
 Application forms: The application form is designed to obtain the
information on various aspects of the applicant’s social demographic,
academic and work related background and references.
Step 4:
 Tests: A test is a sample of a aspects of individual’s behavior,
performance of attitude. It also provides a systematic basis for
comparing the behavior, performance or attitude of two or more
persons. Tests serve as a screening device and provide supplementary
inputs in selection decisions.
A number of selection tests are quail able to assist in making
selection decisions.
 Attainment test
 Attitude test
 Personality test
 Intelligence test
17

Step 5.
 Selection Interview: - The employment interview is conducted to
learn more about the suitability of people under consideration for a
particular job and is one further obstacle for the applicant to
overcome. The interview is one further means of reducing the number
of people who might be eligible for the job
Step 6:
 Medical Evaluation: Medical evaluation is also known as physical
examination is a selection tool which varies from the comprehensive
to nominal, depending upon the job. Comprehensive physical
examinations are necessary for physically handicapped. It reveals
whether the candidate possesses the required stamina, strength and
tolerance of hard working conditions.
Step 7:
 Final Interview: Since the immediate supervisor is ultimately
responsible for new workers, he or she should have input into the
hiring decision. The supervisor is better able to evaluate the
applicant’s technical capabilities and is in a better position to answer
the interviewee’s job-related questions. Further, the supervisor’s job-
18

related questions. Further, the supervisor’s personal commitment to
the success of the new employee is higher if the supervisor has played
a role in the hiring decision.
Step 8:
 Job offer: The actual hiring of an applicant constitutes the end of the
selection process. At this stage, successful applicants must be notified
of the firm’s decision.
 The applications of unsuccessful applicants are often kept on file and
the applicants of successful applicants will be retained in the
employee’s personnel files.
 There are other methods followed by different organizations in the
process of selection. Management chooses the most appropriate
candidate to accomplish the organization objectives, while the
individual chooses the organization best suited to fulfill his
aspirations. Once a person is selected induction and orientation
programs follows.
19

Induction and orientation
Induction is generally done to acquaint a new employee with the
organization, its objectives, policies, procedures, philosophies, strategies,
products, market, customers, etc., So that the employee is clearly informed
of what is expected of him as an employee of the organisation. Induction
program may be helpful for the new employee to shed their fear, delicacy or
anxiety, and get them fully identified with the organization.
Many organizations provide induction and orientation in a career path
method; i.e., rotating the new employee throughout the organization, its
various locations, divisions, departments and sub-units and closely watch
and observe under the supervision of experienced seniors.
NEED FOR STUDY
The chief purpose of the study is to understand the process of
recruitment and selection practices of the organizations especially of ITC.
For every organization human is main source and resource for getting
profits, in such a situation there is a need to select the best available
manpower from the sources.
The study is mainly made on the recruitment and selection practices
of the organization. The current study deals with the different steps involved
into the process of recruiting and selecting the employees in the
organization. With the help of the study an employee in the individual
opinion of the employees of the organization about their selection to the
findings mad in the report.
20

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The present study recruitment and selection practices in ITC are made
by keeping the following as the main objectives.
 To introduce the corporate profile with regard to the human resource
management practices mainly concentrating on the recruitment and
selection practices of the organizations with reference to ITC.
 To study the recruitment and selection practices at ITC.
 To analyze the views and problems of the employees and to know the
level of satisfaction of them.
 To improve the recruitment and selection practices in ITC
 Providing the required suggestions which help in the growth and
development of the management of the personnel of the organization.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
HR approach of management to its people would go a long way in
activating effectively. It facilitates in identifying the right kind of people,
socializing them in the most appropriate way, training and developing them
in the right direction, assigning the tasks which are best suited for every
individual so as to bring out their best, motivating them to make their best
contribution and creating conditions for the people to enjoy their work.
21

As the people are considered valuable human beings, the every
perspective of management changes, and the people are motivated to foster a
oneness with the organization.

CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
23

METHODOLOGY
Methodology is the procedure applied to gather the information
required for the study. Collection of the data refers to a purpose for
gathering information relevant to the subject matter under the study and the
method used depends mainly on the nature.
Accordingly, the data collection can be grouped in to two types
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data
Primary data are the originally observations collected by the researcher or
his agents for the first time and used by them in their investigation. Once
primary data is used it ceases to be primary data and becomes secondary
data.
Data Collection Process:-
Primary Data: - The sources of Primary data includes direct
personal investigation interview. Indirect oral investigation, information
received through customers. Drafting a schedule questionnaire.
Information with respect to the products, service of the retailer. Mode of
distribution, availability of milk was gathered from the primary data. The
primary data in the present study was obtained by questionnaire.
24

A survey was conducted on the consumer perception of SANGAM
DAIRY information in the survey is being collected from the consumers,
in Guntur and Tenali division’s areas.
Questionnaire:-
Primary data is being collected from the agents through
questionnaire. It is the most common instrument in collection of primary
data questions are both open ended and close ended questions were
simple and easy understand. The number of questions was limited and
not repeated.
Secondary Data:-
Sources of secondary data can be categorized into two board
categories namely published statistics and unpublished statistics. Various
sources are available namely central and state Government publications.
Foreign Government publications, technical and trade journals, books,
magazines, news papers, business and industry publications statistical
reports etc. unpublished statistics include information found in dairies.
Letters, biographies, autobiographies, scholars, research work, trade
associations etc.
In internal sources a business organization has to maintain records of
financial accounting, sales records, reports of salesmen etc. the marketing
manager and the other staff of the company assisted in providing the needful
25

information. Information regarding Indian milk industry and A.P milk
industry gathered from the secondary sources like internal.
Sampling unit: The study is limited to manpower working in ITC
Sampling Size: The total sample size includes 100 employees
Sampling technique: Judgment sampling has been adapted for the
present study.
Limitations:
1. Recruitment and selection is a most field of study even it is a single
organization.
2. A duration of two months is not sufficient for presenting report on the
topic
3. The data which is collected form a sample of 100 employees may not
be constraint.

CHAPTER 3
INDUSTRY PROFILE
27

TOBACCO INDUSTRY PROFILE
Bleeding state of cigarette/tobacco industry:-
Tobacco today is the largest contributor to Indian excise collections.
Despite that the industry has been getting step-motherly treatment by the
central government. The industry has been facing regular increase in excise
duty on cigarettes in every budget for past so many years. The cigarette
industry in particular has been suffering both at the hands of central
government as well as state governments. In CY 12100 also the cigarette
industry was again made a scapegoat and a proposal for additional levy of
1% on cigarette manufacturers was made to pay for the lackadaisical
approach of Government regarding unregulated tobacco crop. Last year
(cy10/00) a number of big events like crop holiday for the current year,
proposals of additional levy on cigarettes etc. dominated the industry
scenario.
Based on the information provided by Mr. Ram Poddar, CEO of
golfer Phillips India ltd, we herby present an outlook on the industry.
Industry background:
India is a major grower and exporter of tobacco in the world.
Presently India is among top three producers of tobacco in the world.
28

Despite lower production of total produce being exported Indian exports it
figures among top 10 exporters of the product in the world. In addition to
being the largest contributor to government coffers, the industry also
provides employment to more than 26mn people in the country both directly
and indirectly. The Indian tobacco is largely used for making beedis and
chewing products like khaini etc. tobacco is a very peculiar crop. It is grown
in rain starved areas on Solis which are otherwise not suitable for any other
crop. Thus it makes use of the least resources available to it, to give a
produce which provides so much to government offers it learns of excise,
exports as well as employment that today the per acre earning of farmers
from a specially type of tobacco is much higher than any other crop grown
in the country.
There are various types of tobacco grown in the country but most of
the exports of tobacco by our country are of flue curved Virginia (FCU)
type. The Indian tobacco exported, is mostly used as a filler in the
international cigarettes in fact likely any other agro-product, the
characteristics of tobacco, its taste, its aroma and other properties largely
depend on the soapy or area in which it is grown. Moreover cigarettes
smokers are very particular about the taste, the aroma of their cigarette
brand. So it becomes extremely necessary to maintain the blend tobacco
used for cigarette manufacturing to give the same quality product to
consumers. This is to maintain the consistency of as of a brand.
Recent happenings and its impact on the industry in cy12/00 a number
of big things happened in the tobacco industry both on domestic as well as
international front. In tar nationally tobacco prices fell to extremely low
29

levels owing to excess production. Carryover of previous years stock and
dipping demand owing to high pitched protests against tobacco and cigarette
manufacturers the year also witnessed a major happening on the
international front in terms of $ 145 bun penalty against tobacco and
cigarette manufacturers the year also witnessed a major happening on the
international front in terms.
On domestic front the year saw an excess production due to large
quantity of non-regularized crop. As in India the tobacco cultivation is under
control of Tobacco board which licenses for the amount that can be grown in
a particular area, the total amount expected at the end of the year is
approximately known. But due to curativeness of the earning per acre of
tobacco crop a number of farmers grow unauthorized crop. In domestic as
well as international market, particularly in the background of over
production in other countries also has resulted in a glut. As a result even the
genuine tobacco growers are suffering. The tobacco board in order to protect
the interested of tobacco farmers has recommended crop holiday for ey
12/00 and to add to it a proposal to introduce a levy of 1% on the sales of
cigarettes in order to fund this noble cause. Too has been made. Through
Government proposals have a noble cause of helping out poor farmers and
seem to be good remedial measures but these are very short-term solutions
to the problem.
Presently of the total tobacco produce in India only 50% is used in the
domestic market and of this domestic consumption of tobacco only 16% is
used by cigarette industry. So to what extent is it justified that an industry
consuming just 16% of the total domestically consumed tobacco bears the
30

brunt of funding the cause. Through 1% levy, which on the first hand has
occurred due to unauthorized crop? Moreover the noble cause seems to be
meant only for a few FCV tobacco growers that too for those who should
instead be punished for growing unauthorized crop.
In addition to this already the excise collection from tobacco industry
is skewed against cigarette manufacturers, which account for more than 90%
of the total state and central levies imposed on tobacco. If we see the
contribution of various tobacco products towards ten collection from tobacco
industry we find that per kg of tobacco aced in cigarettes contributes Rs 680
while per kg of tobacco used for bead manufacturing yields just Rs. 34 and
per kg of tobacco used for checking products contribute only Rs 40. in such
a scenario is its justified that cigarette manufacturers be placed at altar to
protect the defaulting farmers. Aim of the opinion that the proposal of
imposition of 1% levy on cigarette sales is unjustified.
Regarding the crop holiday the industry has a divided opinion. Tobacco
institute of India. A representative body of the industry is strongly against
such a crop holiday and tome also the crop holiday doesn’t make any sense
with consumer being very particular about the task and aroma of the
cigarette brand which in turn depends on the type of tobacco used, the crop
holiday would lead to present Indian tobacco importers to switch to other
countries and once the switch takes place it would be for a long term as no
importer company would like to ricks change in flavor and taste of its
cigarette brands. So the crop holiday in long term perspective would lead to
31

loss of export market for Indian permanently and also instead of helping
tobacco farmers is going to do more harm.
Woes of the tobacco industry:
If we take a glance at the current situation of the tobacco industry we
will find that the situation is just like that of a farmer killing the hen that laid
golden eggs. Today the government is mulching the industry, especially the
cigarette industry to such an extent that the industry would very soon die an
Unna rural death. In fact the indications from trend of consumption and
excise collection just corroborate these fears.
Presently tobacco industry’s contribution to excise has increased from
mere 7.25% in 1987-88 to 12% in 2000-01 while the consumption of
tobacco has declined from 552 mn kgs in 1999. Further the cigarette
consumption has dropped from 23% of total tobacco consumption has
increased. In US the contribution has increased from mere 2% in 1880 to
84% in 1999. Besides this, already the cigarette industry is gasping for
breath due to imposition of luxury tax or entry tax by various states ranging
from 1.5% to 10%.
In such a scenario of rising taxes and decreasing consumption, any
further imposition of levies or taxes on the cigarette industry seems
unjustified. So I think the government should give a glance to these aspects
and should try to see the situation from cigarette industry’s point of view
before finalizing any proposal.
32

India is the third largest producer of tobacco in the world after china and
USA. Through it occupies a mere 0.25 per cent of the cropped area in the
country. It contributed Rs 507 crores to the foreign exchange earnings and
Rs. 3200 crores to the exchequer by way of central excise during 1992-93.
Further it provides employment to millions of people both directly and
indirectly. Despite playing such a vital role in the economy the industry
faces many constraints for it development. Increasing productivity,
improving the quality, better marketing practices of non virgin tobacco and a
more retinal excise policy on cigarettes would help the growth of the
industry as well as meet the challenges of the future.
