There are a number of factors that affect recruitment. These are
broadly classified into two categories:
 INTERNAL FACTORS
 EXTERNAL FACTORS
10

11. INTERNAL FACTORS
The internal factors also called as “endogenous factors” are the
factors within the organization that affect recruiting personnel in
the organization. Internal forces i.e. the factors which can be
controlled by organization are:
 RECRUITMENT POLICY
 SIZE OF ORGANISATION
 HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING

 COMPETITORS
12

13. SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT

the openings in the enterprise is the most important aspect of
recruitment process.
There are several sources of recruitment and broadly classified
into:

21. 1. Job analysis
Job Analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the
particular job duties and requirements and the relative importance of
these duties for a given job. Job Analysis is a process where judgments
are made about data collected on a job.
Job analysis consists of two parts:
 Job Description:
A job description is a list that a person might use for general tasks, or
functions, and responsibilities of a position.
 Job Specification:
Job Specification is a statement of the essential components of a job
class including a summary of the work to be performed, primary duties
and responsibilities, and the minimum qualifications and requirements
necessary to perform the essential functions of the job.
21

22. 2. Recruitment Planning:
The first step involved in the recruitment process is planning.
Here, planning involves to draft a comprehensive job
specification for the vacant position, outlining its major and
minor responsibilities; the skills, experience and qualifications
needed; grade and level of pay; starting date; whether temporary
or permanent; and mention of special conditions, if any, attached
to the job to be filled.
3. Strategy Development:
Once it is known how many with what qualifications of
candidates are required, the next step involved in this regard is
to devise a suitable strategy for recruiting the candidates in the
organization. 22

23. 4. Searching:
This step involves attracting job seekers to the organization. There are
broadly two sources used to attract candidates. These are:
 Internal Sources
 External Sources
5. Screening:
Though some view screening as the starting point of selection,
we have considered it as an integral part of recruitment. The
reason being the selection process starts only after the
applications have been screened and shortlisted. 23

24. 6. Evaluation & control
Given the considerable cost involved in the recruitment process, its
evaluation and control is, therefore, imperative.
The costs generally incurred in a recruitment
process include:
 Salary of recruiters
 Cost of time spent for preparing job analysis, advertisement
 Administrative expenses
 Cost of outsourcing or overtime while vacancies remain unfilled
 Cost incurred in recruiting unsuitable candidates 24

25. METHOD OF RECRUITMENT
Dunn and Stephen have broadly classified methods of recruitment into
three categories:
1. Direct Method
2. Indirect Methods
3. Third Party Methods
1. Direct Method: In this method, the representatives of the
organization are sent to the potential candidates in the
educational and training institutes. They establish contacts with
the candidates seeking jobs.
25

26. 26
2. Indirect Methods: Indirect methods include
advertisements in news papers, on the radio and television, in
professional journals, technical magazines etc. This method is
useful when:
(i) Organization does not find suitable candidates to be promoted to
fill up the higher posts
(ii) When the organization wants to reach out to a vast territory, and
(iii) When organization wants to fill up scientific, professional and
technical posts.
3. Third Party Methods: These include the use of private
employment agencies, management consultants, professional
bodies/associations, employee referral/recommendations, voluntary
organizations, trade unions, data banks, labor contractors etc., to
establish contact with the job- seekers.

29. SELECTION
Selection is the process of differentiating between applicants in order
to identify and hire those with a greater likelihood of success in a
job.
-STONE
“Selection is the process in which candidates for employment are
divided into two classes— those who
are to be offered employment and
those who are not”.
- Dale Yodev

32. 1. Environmental factors – Selection is influenced by several
factors. More prominent among them are supply and demand of specific
skills in the labor market, unemployment rate, legal & political
consideration etc.
2. Preliminary Interview – The applications received from job
seekers would be subject to security so as to estimate unqualified
applicants, this is usually followed by preliminary interview.
3. Selection Test – Job seekers who pass the screening and the
preliminary interview are called for tests. Generally, tests are used to
determine the applicant’s ability, aptitude & personality.
4. Employment Interview – The next step in the selection
process is employment interview. An interview is conducted at the
beginning and at the end of the selection process.
32

33. 5. Reference & Background Analysis – Many
employers request names, addresses and telephone number or
references for the purpose of verifying information and perhaps,
gaining additional background information on an applicant.
6. Selection Decision – After obtaining information through
the preceding steps, selection decision – the most critical of all the
steps, must be made.
7. Physical Examination – After the selection decision and
before the job offer is made, the candidate is required to undergo a
physical fitness test.
33

34. 8. Job Offer – The next step in the selection process is job
offer to those applicants who have crossed all the previous hurdles.
Job offer is made through a letter of appointment.
9. Contracts of Employment – After the job offer have
been made and the candidates accept the offer, certain documents
need to be executed by the employers and the candidates.
10. Evaluation of Selection Program – The broad test
of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of the
personnel hired. A firm must have competent and committed
personnel.
34

35. BARRIER OF SELCTION
The main objective of selection is to hire people having
competence and commitment. This objective is often
defeated because of certain barriers. The impediments to
effective selection of people at work can be explained as
under:
 INEFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT
 PERCEPTION
 STEREOTYPING
 GENDER ISSUE
 AGE /RACE ISSUE
