Preface
Industrial training is one of the most components in the fulfillment of any
professional course conducted at any level and at any college. The main purpose of
the training program is to expose the trainees to the practical experience of the
actual industrial conditions in which they are required to work in future.
The lectures help us to know the theoretical concept of the processes being
followed at the industrial level and the tools being used to conduct that processesbut we would get the complete knowledge of the process only if we have a chance
to witness the process, study it and if possible being able to conduct that process if
authorities allow us to do so. Thus emerges the need of industrial training.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to
build a pool of qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated
stages vise;
1. Planning.
2. Strategy development.
3. Searching.
4. Screening.
5. Evaluation and control.
The ideal recruitment programme is the one that attracts a relativelylarger number of qualified applicants who will survive the screening process and
accept positions with the organization, when offered. Recruitment programmes can
miss the ideal in many ways ice. by failing to attract an adequate applicant pool, by
under/over selling the organization or by inadequate screening applicants before
they enter the selection process. Thus, to approach the ideal, individuals
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
24/63
[24]
responsible for the recruitment process must know how many and what types of
employees are needed, where and how to look for the individuals with the
appropriate qualifications and interests, what inducement to use for various types
of applicants groups, how to distinguish applicants who are qualified from those
who have a reasonable chance of success and how to evaluate their work.
STAGE 1:
RECRUITMEN-T PLANNING:
The first stage in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves the
translation of likely job vacancies and information about the nature of these jobs
into set of objectives or targets that specify the
( 1) Numbers and(2) Types of applicants to be contacted.
Numbers of contact: Organization, nearly always, plan to attract more applicants
than they will hire.Some of those contacted will be uninterested, unqualified or
both. Each time a recruitment Programme is contemplated, one task is to estimate
the number of applicants necessary to fill all vacancies with the qualified people.
Types of contacts: It is basically concerned with the types of people to be
informed about job openings. The type of people depends on the tasks and
responsibilities involved and the qualifications and experience expected. These
details are available through job description and job specification.
STAGE 2:
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT:
When it is estimated that that types of recruitment and how many are required thenone has concentrate in
(1). Make or Buy employees.
(2).Technological sophistication of recruitment and selection devices.
(3).Geographical distribution of labour markets comprising job seekers.
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
25/63
[25]
(4).Sources of recruitment.
(5). Sequencing the activities in the recruitment process.
Makes or Buy :
Organization must decide whether to hire le skilled employees and invest on
training and education programmes, or they can hire skilled labour and
professional. Essentially, this is 'the makes or buys decision. Organizations, which
hire skilled and professionals shall have to pay more for these employees.
Technological Sophistication:
The second decision in strategy development relates to the methods used inrecruitment and selection. This decision is mainly influenced by the available
technology. The advent of computers has made it possible for employers to scan
national and international applicant qualification. Although impersonal, computers
have given employers and ob seekers a wider scope of options in the initial
screening stage.
Where to look:
In order to reduce the costs, organizations look in to labour markets most likely to
offer the required job seekers. Generally, companies look in to the national market
for managerial and professional employees, regional or local markets for technical
employees and local markets for the clerical and blue- collar employees.
When to look:
An effective recruiting strategy must determine when to look-decide on the timings
of events besides knowing where and how to look for job applicants.
S TAGE 3 :
SEARCHNG:
Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin.
Search involves two steps
(A). Source activation and
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
26/63
[26]
(B). Selling.
A). SOURCE ACTIVATION:
Typically, sources and search methods are activated by the issuance of
an employee requisition. This means that no actual recruiting takes place until lonemanagers have verified that vacancy does exist or will exist.
If the organization has planned well and done a good job of developing its sources
and search methods, activation soon results in a flood of applications and/or
resumes.
The application received must be screened. Those who pass have to be contacted
and invited for interview. Unsuccessful applicants must be sent letter of regret.
B). SELLING:
A second issue to be addressed in the searching process concerns
communications. Here, organization walks tightrope. On one hand, they want to do
whatever they can to attract desirable applicants. On the other hand, they must
resist the temptation of overselling their virtues.
In selling the organization, both the message and the media deserve attention.
Message refers to the employment advertisement. With regards to media, it may be
stated that effectiveness of any recruiting message depends on the media. Media
are several-some have low credibility, while others enjoy high credibility.
Selection of 'medium or media needs to be done with a lot of care.
S TAGE 4 :
SCREENING:
Screening of applicants can be regarded as an integral part of the
recruiting process, though many view it as the first step in the selection process.
Even the definition on recruitment, we quoted in the beginning of this
chapter, excludes screening from its scope. However, we have included screening
in recruitment for valid reasons. The selection process will begin after the
applications have been scrutinized and short-listed. Hiring of professors in a
university is a typical situation. 'Application received in response to advertisements
is screened and only eligible applicants are called for an interview. A selection

[27]
committee comprising the Vice-chancellor, Registrar and subject experts conducts
interview. Here, the recruitment process extends up to screening the applications.
The selection process commences only later.
Purpose of screening
The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment process, atan early stage, those applicants who are visibly unqualified. 16 Effective
screening can save a great deal of time and money. Care must be exercised,
however, to assure that potentially good employees. are not rejected without
justification.
In screening, clear job specifications are invaluable. It is both good
tactile and a legal necessity that applicant's qualification is judged on the P basis of
their knowledge, skills, abilities and interest required to do the job.
The techniques used to screen applicants vary depending on the
candidate sources and recruiting methods used. Interview and application blanks
may be used to screen walk-ins. Campus recruiters and agency representatives use
interviews and resumes. Reference checks are also useful in screening.
STAGES:5
EVALUATION AND CONTROL:
Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred
in the recruitment process. The costs generally incurred are: -
1. Salaries for recruiters.
2. Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job
specifications, advertisements, agency liaison and so forth.
3. The cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods, that is, agency fees.
4. Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses.

[28]
6. Cost of recruiting unsuitable candidates for the selection process.
1.3 EVALUATION OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS

the evaluation might include:
1. Return rate of application sent out.

Internal RecruitmentSources
Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within the company. The
various internal sources include:
Promotions and Transfers -
Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel
records. Job posting requires notifying vacant positions by posting notices,
circulating publications or announcing at staff meetings and inviting employees to
apply. Personnel records help discover employees who are doing jobs below their
educational qualifications or skill levels. Promotions has many advantages like it is
good public relations, builds morale, encourages competent individuals who are
ambitious, improves the probability of good selection since information on the
individual's performance is readily available, is cheaper than going outside to
recruit, those chosen internally are familiar with the organization thus reducing the
orientation time and energy and also as a training device for' developing middle-
level and top-level managers. However, promotions restrict the field of selection
preventing fresh blood & ideas from entering the organization. It also leads to
inbreeding in the organization. Transfers are also important in providing
employees with a broad-based view of the organization, necessary for future
promotions.
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
30/63
[30]
Employee referrals-
Employees can develop good prospects for their families and
friends by acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the company,
furnishing them with introduction and encouraging them to apply. This is a veryeffective means as many qualified people can be reached at a very low cost to the
company. The other advantages are that the employees would bring only those
referrals that they feel would be able to fit in the organization based on their own
experience. The organization can be assured of the reliability and the character of
the referrals. In this way, the organization can also fulfill social obligations and
create goodwill.
Former Employees-These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part-
time basis, individuals who left work and are willing to come back for higher
compensations. Even retrenched employees are taken up once again. The
advantage here is that the people are already known to the organization and there is
no need to find out their past performance and character. Also, there is no need of
an orientation programmers for them, since they are good for job.
Dependents of deceased employees-
Usually, employee follow this policy. If an employee dies, his
her spouse or son or daughter is recruited in their place. This is usually an effective
way to fulfill social obligation and create goodwill.
Recalls: -
When management faces a problem, which can be solved only by a
manager who has proceeded on long leave, it may de decided to recall that persons
after the problem is solved, his leave may be extended.
Retirements: -
At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of
the one who had retired, after meritorious service. Under the circumstances,
management may decide to call retired managers with new extension.
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
31/63
[31]
Internal notification (advertisement): -
Sometimes, management issues an internal notification for the
benefit of existing employees. Most employees know from their own experience
about the requirement of the job and what sort of person the company is lookingfor. Often employees have friends or acquaintances who meet these requirements.
Suitable persons are appointed at the vacant posts.
EXTERNAL SOURCES
External sources seeks applicants for positions from sources outside the company.
They have outnumbered the internal methods. The various external sources
include:
Professional or Trade Associations :
Many associations provide placement service to its
members.consists of compiling job seeker's lists and providing access to members
during regional or national conventions. Also, the publications of these
associations carry classified advertisements from employers interested in recruiting
their members. These are particularly useful for attracting highly educated,
experienced or skilled personnel. Also, the recruiters can zero on in specific jobseekers, especially for hard-to-fill technical posts.
Advertisements :
It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer
advertisements because of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job benefits,
identify the employer and tell those interested how to apply.
Newspaper is the most common medium but for highly recruiters.
Advertisements may be placed in professional or business journals.' Advertisements must contain proper information like the job content, working
conditions, location of job, compensation including fringe benefits, job
specifications, growth aspects, etc. The advertisement has to -in
sell the idea that the company and job are perfect for the candidate.

[32]
Recruitment advertisements can also serve as corporate advertisements to build
company' image. It also cost effective.
Employment exchanges:-
Employment Exchanges have been set up all over the country indeference to the provision of the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory
Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959. The Act applies to all industrial
establishments having 25 workers or more each. The Act requires all the industrial
establishments to notify the vacancies before they are filled. The major functions
of the exchanges are to increase the pool of possible applicants and to do the
preliminary screening. Thus, employment exchanges act as a link between the
employers and the prospective employees. These offices are particularly useful to
in recruiting blue-collar, white collar and technical Workers.
Campus recruitment:-
Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fiends and
institutes are fertile ground for recruiters, particularly the institutes. Campus
Recruitment is going global with companies like HLL, HCL-HP, ANZ Grindlays,
L&T, Motorola and Reliance looking for global markets.
Some companies recruit a given number of candidates from these institutes every
year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after that each college; university
department or institute will have a placement officer to handle recruitment
functions. However, it is often an expensive process, even if recruiting process
produces job offers and acceptances eventually.
majority leave the organization. within the first five years of their employment.
Yet, it is a major source of recruitment for prestigious companies.
Walk-ins. Write-ins and Talk-ins:-
The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is
direct applications, in which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters or
resumes. Direct applications can also provide a pool of potential employees to
meet future needs. From employees' viewpoint, walk-ins are - preferable as they
are free from the hassles associated with other methods of recruitment. While
direct applications are particularly effective in filling entry-level and unskilled
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
33/63
[33]
vacanciess some organizations compile pools of potential employees from direct
applications for skilled positions. Write-ins are those who send written enquiries.
These jobseekers are asked to complete application forms for further processing.
Talk-ins involves the job aspirants.No application is required to be submitted to
the recruiter.
Contractors:-
They are used to recruit casual workers. The names of the workers are
not entered in the company records and, to this extent; difficulties experienced in
maintaining permanent workers are avoided.
Consultants:-
They are in the profession for recruiting and selecting managerial andexecutive personnel. They are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend
professionalism to the hiring process. They also keep prospective employer and
employee anonymous. However, the cost can be a deterrent factor.
A Head Hunters:-
They are useful in specialized and skilled candidate working in a
particular company. An agent is sent to represent the recruiting company and offer
is made to the candidate. This is a useful source when both the companies involved
are in the same field, and the employee is reluctant to take the offer since he fears,
that his company is testing his loyalty.
Radio. Television and internet:-
Radio and television are used to reach certain types of job applicants
such as skilled workers. Radio and television are used but sparingly, and that too,
by government departments only. Companies in the private sector are hesitant to
use the media because of high costs and also because they fear that such
advertising will make the companies look desperate and damage their conservative
image. However, there is nothing inherently desperate about using radio and
television. It depends upon what is said and how it is delivered. Internet is
becoming a popular option for -in
recruitment today. There are specialized sites like naukri.com. Also, websites of
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh
34/63
[34]
companies have a separate section wherein; aspirants can submit their resumes and
applications. This provides a wider reach.
Competitors:-
This method is popularly involves identifying the right people terms
and luring them away.Rival firms for potential employee is expected to join a neworganization only after obtaining a no objection certificate' from his/ her present
employer. Violating this requirement shall bind the employee to pay a few months'
salary to his/ her present employer as a punishment. However, there are many
ethical issues in rival companies, offering them better For instance, several
executives of HMT left to Titan Watch Company. There are legal and ethical
issues involved in candidates. From the legal point of view, an attached to it.
Mergers and Acquisitions:-When organizations combine, they have a pool of employees out of whom some
may organization has, in effect, a pool new jobs may drawing the best-qualified be
created. Both new and old jobs may be readily staffed by applicants from this
employee pool. This method facilitates the immediate implementation It enables an
organization to pursue displace employees into a new organization and to integrate

a business plan, However, the need to number of them rather quickly means that
the personnel-planning and selection the new not be necessary any longer. As a
result, of qualified job applicants. As a results process becomes critical more than
ever.
Evaluation of External Recruitment:
External sources of recruitment have both merits and demerits.
The merits are-
-The organization will have the benefit of new skills, new talents and new
experiences, if people are hired from external sources.

disadvantaged sections of the society.

5. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
As related to the Recruitment of the employee various authors have
expressed their views regarding training success and undertaking in and outside thecompany, few of them listed are: Recruitment is concerned with developing
suitable techniques for attracting more and more candidates. Recruitment is the
process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for
the jobs in the organization. When more persons apply for jobs then there will be a
7/27/2019 Gurjant Singh

[52]
scope for recruiting better persons. The job seekers too, on the other hand, are in
search of organization offering them employment. Recruitment is a linkage activity
bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Many see recruitment and
selection as the most important component of the staffing model. Obviously, the
fright persona must be selected to achieve high levels of productivity, but how theselection is made also is important, if for no other reason than to meet legal and
ethical requirements of institutional policy such as fundamental fairness and
affirmative action. One of the central findings of the literature review conducted by
Winston and Cremer (1997, p. 128) was that the most successful student service
programs tend to be those where the managers select, hire, and retain competent
and caring individual's Recruitment and Promotion literature in student affairs
often addresses standards of admission the (Stnmatakos, 1981) and entry-level
competencies and skills (Hyman, 1988; Ostroth, 1981). Hiring particular types ofstaff members, such as paraprofessionals (Winston & Ender, 1988), mid-level
managers (Gordon, Borders Strode, & Mnnn, 1993; Saunders & Cooper, 199%,
minorities (Sagaria & Johnsrud, 1991), and executive-level managers (Haro, 1991)
also is common in recruitment and selection literature. Sims and Foxley (1980)
contribute significantly to this literature by pointing to the role of institutional
systems in the process and by suggesting that the precepts of the processes should
be based on development (the historic foundation of the field).
The recruitment and selection process is a complex system of interdependent
processes that begins with determining the need and establishing the purpose of the
position. This process should include a careful position analysis, a step often
assumed but not taken that leads to hiring someone, but maybe not the right
person, which is, of course, a key to successful staffing practices (Raetz, 2001).
Based on a carefully conducted position analysis, a position description is then
prepared that accurately and completely describes position responsibilities,
necessary qualifications of candidates, and any unusual or unique aspects of the
position or the institution.
