Human resource is a critical function around which all activities of any organization rotate. It is
the engine that pulls and pushes the progress & prosperity of any organization. Such being the
case, it is a herculean task to identify and attract capable and competent human resources for the
organization. The most difficult job in hiring the prospective employees is to find the places
where required human resources are/will be available and also work on strategies to attract them
towards the organization.
Human resources are the most important asset of the organization. The success or failure of an
organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people working with them. Without
positive and creative contributions from people, organizations cannot progress and prosper.
Recruitment is the means through which we identify and attract competent human resources.
The function of recruitment precedes the selection function and it includes finding, developing
the sources of prospective employees and attracting them to apply for jobs in organizations in
order to fit the right man in the right job.
According to EDWIN FLIPPO, Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective
employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.
Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified people for
a job. For some components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-size organizations often
retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to agencies. The stages in
recruitment include sourcing candidates by advertising or other methods, screening potential
candidates using tests and/or interviews, selecting candidates based on the results of the tests
and/or interviews, and on-boarding to ensure the candidate is able to fulfill their new role
effectively.
Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the activities that impact most
critically on the performance of an organization. While it is understood and accepted that poor
Recruitment decisions continue to affect organizational performance and limit goal achievement,
it is taking a long time for public service agencies in many jurisdictions to identify and

applicants from which they can fill vacancies as and when required. It will identify the
advantages of each of the strategies, highlight the drawbacks of its use and offer suggestions for
ensuring its utility.
Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organizations success. As thejobmarket becomes increasingly competitive and the available skills grow more diverse, recruiters
need to be more selective in their choices, since poor recruiting decisions can produce long-term
negative effects, among them high training and development costs to minimize the incidence of
poor performance and high turnover which in turn impact staff morale, the production of high
quality goods and services and the retention of organizational memory. At worst, the
organization can fail to achieve its objectives thereby losing its competitive edge and its share of
the market. Traditionally, Public Service organizations have had little need to worry about
market share and increasing competition since they operate in a monopolistic environment. But
in recent time, the emphasis on New Public Management/ Public Sector Management approaches
has forced public organizations to pay closer attention to their service delivery as consumers
have begun to expect and demand more for their tax dollars. No longer are citizens content to
grumble about poorly-produced goods and services and the under-qualified, untrained employees
who provide them. As societies become more critical and litigious, public service organizations
must seek all possible avenues for improving their output and providing the satisfaction their
clients require and deserve. The provision of high-quality goods and services begins with the
recruitment process. Recruitment is described as the set of activities and processes used to
legally obtain a sufficient number of qualified people at the right place and time so that the
people and the organization can select each other in their own best short and long term interests.
In other words, the recruitment process provides the organization with a pool of potentially
qualified job candidates from which judicious selection can be made to fill vacancies.
Successful recruitment begins with proper employment planning and forecasting. In this phase
of the staffing process, an organization formulates plans to fill or eliminate future job openings
based on an analysis of future needs, the talent available within and outside of the organization,
and the current and anticipated resources that can be expended to attract and retain such talent.
Also related to the success of a recruitment process are the strategies an organization is prepared
to employ in order to identify and select the best candidates for its developing pool of human
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4

resources. Organizations seeking recruits for base-level entry positions often require minimum
qualifications and experience. These applicants are usually recent high school or university/
technical college graduates many of whom have not yet made clear decisions about future
careers or are contemplating engaging in advanced academic activity. At the middle levels,
senior administrative, technical and junior executive positions are often filled internally. The
push for scarce, high-quality talent, often recruited from external sources, has usually been at the
senior executive levels. Most organizations utilize both mechanisms to effect recruitment to all
levels.
Need for recruitment:
The need for recruitment may be because of following reasons:
a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability, deathand labor turnover.
b) Creation of new vacancies due to growth, expansion and diversification of business activitiesof an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job specification.
THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Successful recruitment involves the following:
1. Development of a policy on recruitment and retention and the systems that give life to thepolicy.
2. Needs assessment to determine the current and future human resource requirements of theorganization. If the activity is to be effective, the human resource requirements for each
job category and functional division/unit of the organisation must be assessed and a
priority assigned;
3. Identification, within and outside the organization, of the potential human resource pooland the likely competition for the knowledge and skills resident within it;
4. Job analysis and job evaluation to identify the individual aspects of each job and calculateits relative worth;
5. Assessment of qualifications profiles, drawn from job descriptions that identifyresponsibilities and required skills, abilities, knowledge and experience;
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
5/76
6. Determination of the organizations ability to pay salaries and benefits within a definedperiod;
7. Identification and documentation of the actual process of recruitment and selection toensure equity and adherence to equal opportunity and other laws.
Documenting the organizations policy on recruitment, the criteria to be utilized, and all the steps
in the recruiting process is as necessary in the seemingly informal setting of inhouse selection as
it is when selection is made from external sources. Documentation satisfies the requirement of
procedural transparency and leaves a trail that can easily be followed for audit and other
purposes. Of special importance is documentation that is in conformity with Freedom of
Information legislation (where such legislation exists) such as:
criteria and procedures for the initial screening of applicants criteria for generating long and short lists criteria and procedures for the selection of interview panels interview questions interview scores and panelists comments results of tests (where administered) Results of reference check
Recruitment strategies and processes
Recruitment may be conducted internally through the promotion and transfer of existing
personnel or through referrals, by current staff members, of friends and family members.
Where internal recruitment is the chosen method of filling vacancies, job openings can be
advertised by job posting, that is a strategy of placing notices on manual and electronicbulletin boards, in company newsletters and through office memoranda. Referrals are usually
word-of-mouth advertisements that are a low-cost-per-hire way of recruiting. Internal
recruitment does not always produce the number or quality of personnel needed in such an
instance, the organization needs to recruit from external sources, either byencouraging
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
6/76
walk-in applicants advertising vacancies in newspapers, magazines and journals, and the
visual and/or audio media using employment agencies to head hunt
Advertising on-line via the Internet or through job fairs and the use of college recruitment.
Public service agencies enjoy greater exposure to scrutiny than most private sectororganizations therefore, openness and transparency in recruitment and selection practices are
crucial. The discussion that follows will identify some of the options available for attracting
applicants to the public service job market and discuss strategies for managing the process.
POSTING VACANCIES
As indicated earlier, job posting refers to the practice of publicizing an open job to
employees (often by literally posting it on bulletin boards) and listing its attributes, such as
criteria of knowledge, qualification, skill and experience. The purpose of posting vacancies
is to bring to the attention of all interested persons (inside or out of the organization) the jobs
that are to be filled. Before posting a vacancy, management needs to decide whether:
It intends to retain the job in its present form and with its present title, \remunerationand status
selected attributes of the job, for example, skill or experience, will change there are sufficient qualified, potential applicants serving in other positions within the
organization who may be potential candidates for that job
the existing organizational policy on recruitment is still applicable (for example,whether referrals, by staff members, of friends and family are still an acceptable way
of filling vacancies)
the organisations stands to benefit more, in the long-term, from recruiting applicantsfrom external sources.
Also necessary is the availability of a functional human resource information systemthat supports recruitment. An effective, [ideally] computerised system would flag
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
7/76
imminent vacancies throughout the organization to ensure that the recruitment
process is timely
ensure that no candidates are lost but, instead, move through the process and are keptinformed of their status
ensure that good candidates whose applications are pending are kept in touch tomaintain their interest in the organization
assist in analyzing hiring, transfer and exit trends and provide other data that arehelpful in planning, evaluating and auditing the recruitment process
identify any adverse impacts of the recruitment process on vulnerable groups (for
example minorities, especially where Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
legislation exists)
for internal recruiting, control the internal job posting process, generate the noticesand then match internal applicant qualifications with job specifications
Where jobs are not being posted, generate a list of qualified internal candidates.
An organization needs to analyze the benefits and disadvantages of recruiting its
personnel through internal or external sources and, where the latter is selected,
whether formal or informal systems should be used.

7) Miscellaneous external sources
Recruiting from internal sources
There are sound reasons for recruiting from sources within the organization:
The ability of the recruit is known so it is easy to assess potential for the next level. Bycontrast, assessments of external recruits are based on less reliable sources, such as
references, and relatively brief encounters, such as interviews.
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
9/76
Insiders know the organization, its strengths and weaknesses, its culture and, most ofall, its people.
Promotions from within build motivation and a sense of commitment to the organization.Skilled and ambitious employees are more likely to become involved in developmental
activities if they believe that these activities will lead to promotion.
Internal recruitment is cheaper and quicker than advertising in various media andinterviewing outsiders. Time spent in training and socialization is also reduced. At the
same time, several disadvantages exist:
Sometimes it is difficult to find the right candidate within and the organization may
settle for an employee who possesses a less than ideal mix of competencies.
If the vacancies are being caused by rapid expansion of the organization there may be aninsufficient supply of qualified individuals above the entry level. This may result in
people being promoted before they are ready, or not being allowed to stay in a position
long enough to learn how to do the job well.
Infighting, inbreeding, and a shortage of varied perspectives and interests may reduceorganizational flexibility and growth, and resistance to change by those who have an
interest in maintaining the status quo may present long term problems.
In times of rapid growth and during transitions, the organization may promote fromwithin into managerial positions, regardless of the qualifications of incumbents.
Transition activities and rapid organizational growth often mask managerial deficiencies;
it is not until the growth rate slows that the deficiencies become apparent and, then, the
organization finds it difficult, if not impossible, to undo the damage. The resulting cost
of remedial training can prove prohibitive.
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
10/76
Recruiting from external sources
External recruiting methods can be grouped into two classes: informal and formal. Informal
recruiting methods tap a smaller market than formal methods. These methods may include
rehiring former employees and choosing from among those walk-in applicants whose
unsolicited rsums had been retained on file. The use of referrals also constitutes an informal
hiring method. Because they are relatively inexpensive to use and can be implemented quickly,
informal recruiting methods are commonly used for hiring clerical and other base-level recruits
who are more likely than other groups to have submitted unsolicited applications. Former
students who participated in internship programmes may also be easily and cheaply accessed.
Formal methods of external recruiting entail searching the labor market more widely for
candidates with no previous connection to the organization. These methods have traditionallyincluded newspaper/magazine/journal advertising, the use of employment agencies and executive
search firms, and college recruitment. More often, now, job/career fairs and e-Recruiting are
reaching the job seeker market. Posting vacancies externally through the various arms of the
media or via employment agencies reaches a wider audience and may turn up a greater number
of potential candidates from which the organization can choose. At the same time, this method is
relatively expensive and time-consuming as the organization works through initial
advertisements, short-listing, interviewing and the other processes that precede selection. Even
then, there is no guarantee that the results will be satisfactory to the organization, since the cost
of advertising often limits the frequency and duration of the job posting, as well as the amount of
information made available, thus making it difficult for a job seeker to accurately judge the
worth of the position being offered. In addition, the organization may hire a candidate who fails
to live up to the high potential displayed during the selection process. Recruiting
firms/employment agencies are gaining in popularity, especially in the search for management
level/executive talent. Recruiting via this medium is expensive, whether the organization uses a
contingency firm or has one on retainer. Executive search firms tend to match candidates to jobs
faster that most organizations can, on their own, primarily because the recruiting
firms/employment agencies possess larger databases of, and wider access to, persons (whom they
may themselves have placed) and have a greater awareness of the location of competencies
needed by the client agencies. Of course, it is possible to for an organization to reduce the risks
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
11/76
and high costs of recruitment by maintaining a small cadre of full-time, permanent employees
and meeting an unexpected and temporary need for staff through the use of ad hoc and short-
term contract workers who come to the position already trained. It is frequently said that the best
jobs are not advertised; their availability is communicated by word of mouth. Networking,
therefore, continues to be a viable mechanism for recruiting, especially at the senior management
level in certain industries. In many instances, networking is a strategy used by the recruitment
firms/employment agencies.
ON-LINE APPLICATIONS/RECRUITING ON THE INTERNET
Using the Internet is faster and cheaper than many traditional methods of recruiting. Jobs can be
posted on Internet sites for a modest amount (less than in the print media), remain there for
periods of thirty or sixty days or more - at no additional cost - and are available twenty-four
hours a day. Candidates can view detailed information about the job and the organisation and
then respond electronically. Most homes and workplaces are now using computerised equipment
for communication; the Internet is rapidly becoming the method of choice for accessing and
sharing information. First-time job seekers are now more likely to search websites for job
postings than to peruse newspapers, magazines and journals. The prevalence of e-advertising
has made it easier.
The Internet speeds up the hiring process in three basis stages:
Faster posting of jobsThe wait for a suitable date and a prominent place in the print media is eliminated. The time
lag that exists between the submission of information to the media house and its appearance
in print disappears. On the internet, the advertisement appears immediately and can be kept
alive for as long as the recruiter requires it.
Faster applicant responseJobs posted on the Internet and requiring responses via the same medium receive
responses on the same day.
Faster processing of rsums
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
12/76
An applicant sending a rsum electronically can immediately have the application
processed, receive an acknowledgement, be screened electronically, and have details of
the application and rsum despatched to several managers at the same time.
On-line recruiting also provides access to passive job seekers, that is, individuals who alreadyhave a job but would apply for what appears a better one that is advertised on the Internet. These
job seekers may be of a better quality since they are not desperate for a job change as are the
active job seekers who may be frustrated, disgruntled workers looking for a new position.
Companies that are likely to advertise on-line usually have a website that allows potential
candidates to learn about the company before deciding whether to apply, thus lowering the
incidence time-wasting through the submission of unsuitable applications. The website can be
used as a tool to encourage potential job seekers to build an interest in joining the organization.
Job websites offer unlimited space which can be used, by management, to sell the organization.
The site can then be used, not only to post vacancies, but also to publicize the organization. That
will allow candidates to become more familiar with the company, know what skills the company
is looking for and get to know about its culture. Most importantly, the system will provide a
proper path to securing quick responses to job openings. On-line recruiting facilitates the
decentralization of the hiring function by making it possible for other groups in the organization
to take responsibility for part of the function.
Internet recruiting is not all positive, though there are drawbacks for unwary users:
Some applicants still place great value on face-to-face interactions in the hiring process.Such applicants are likely to ignore jobs posted, impersonally, on-line.
Companies are overwhelmed by the volume of rsums posted on the Internet.
This can, infact, lengthen the short-listing process. If the screening process is not well done, the
quantity of applications/rsums logged-on may be more of a hindrance to the process that is an
aid to selection.
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
13/76
Job seekers who demand confidentiality in the recruitment process may be reluctant touse the Internet as a job search mechanism.
For effectiveness in the use of the strategy of e-Recruiting, companies are advised to:
use specialized Job Sites that cater to specific industries; thoroughly assess the service level provided by Job Sites to ensure that they maintain the
level they claim to provide;
enhance the Corporate Web Site as a tool to encourage potential job seekers to becomeinterested in joining the company;
take advantage of the fact that Internet job advertisements have no space limitations sorecruiters can use longer job descriptions to fully describe the company, job requirements
and working conditions offered;
use valid Search Engines that will sort candidates effectively, but will not discriminateagainst any persons or groups;
Create attention-grabbing newspaper advertisements that prompt people to visit thecompanys website. They will then see all vacancies that are advertised;
encourage employees to e-mail job advertisements to friends; design and implement a successful e-Recruitment strategy
CAMPUS RECRUITMENT
College recruitingsending an employers representatives to college campuses to prescreen
applicants and create an applicant pool from that colleges graduating class is an important
source of management trainees, promotable [entry-level] candidates, and professional and
technical employees. To get the best out of this hiring strategy, the organization and its career
opportunities must be made to stand out. Human resource professionals are aware that few
college students and potential graduates know where their careers will take them over the nextfifteen to twenty years. Therefore many of the criteria used by students to select the first job may
be quite arbitrary. The organization that will succeed, then, is one can show how the work it
offers meets students needs for skill enhancement, rewarding opportunities, personal
satisfaction, flexibility and compensation. College recruitment offers an opportunity for
recruiters to select the potential employees with the personal, technical and professional
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
14/76
competencies they require in their organization. The personal competencies identified may
include, inter alia, a positive work ethic, strong interpersonal skills, leadership capacity and an
ability to function well in a work team. The opportunity to discuss a students current strengths
and potential future value to an organization cannot be replicated in any other setting.
Two major advantages of this strategy are the cost(which is higher than word-of-mouth
recruiting but lower than advertising in the media or using an employment agency), and the
convenience(since many candidates can be interviewed in a short time in the same location with
space and administrative support provided by the college itself).
Unfortunately, suitable candidates become available only at certain times of the year, which may
not always suit the needs of the hiring organization. Another major disadvantage of college
recruiting is the lack of experience and the inflated expectations of new graduates and the cost of
hiring graduates for entry-level positions that may not require a college degree.
College recruitment also offers opportunities for internships. These programmes may provide the
organizations with quality employees at low cost per hire. Some interns are hired at low cost
(perhaps minimum wage) and are offered work experience. Interns are able to hone business
skills, check out potential employers, and learn more about employers likes and dislikes before
making final career choices. Some of the better interns are recruited after graduation.
College recruitment is relatively expensive15 and time consuming for the recruiting company.
The process involves screening the candidate, that is, determining whether he/she is worthy of
further consideration and marketing the company as a preferred place of employment.
An alternate strategy for college recruitment is the career planning workshop. These activities are
usually (but not exclusively) associated with adolescent school leavers.
They do not immediately produce ready candidates for the job market but provide the
opportunity for an organization to present itself as an employer worthy of consideration.
Coordinators of career planning workshops co-opt professionals and organizations to present
career options to potential school leavers in a controlled setting so as to lay out the range of
possibilities to young job seekers. Career planning workshops are used mainly as information-
giving tools which the school leaver can use to make informed career choices. Some
organizations use the workshops as a base for internships.
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
15/76
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 vacancies, 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 meeting the recruiter
(on an appropriated date) for detailed talks. 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 and executive personnel. They
are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend professionalism to the hiring process. Theyalso keep prospective employer and employee anonymous. However, the cost can be a deterrent
factor.
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
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
16/76
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 recruitment today. There are specialized sites like naukri.com. Also, websites of
companies have a separate section wherein; aspirants can submit their resumes and applications.
This provides a wider reach.
Competitors:-
This method is popularly known as poaching or raiding which involves identifying the right
people in rival companies, offering them better terms and luring them away. For instance, several
executives of HMT left to join Titan Watch Company. There are legal and ethical issues
involved in raiding rival firms for potential candidates. From the legal point of view, an
employee is expected to join a new organization 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 attached to it.
Mergers and Acquisitions:-
When organizations combine, they have a pool of employees, out of whom some may not be
necessary any longer. As a result, the new organization has, in effect, a pool of qualified jobapplicants. As a result, new jobs may be created. Both new and old jobs may be readily staffed
by drawing the best-qualified applicants from this employee pool. This method facilitates the
immediate implementation of an organizations strategic plan. It enables an organization to
pursue a business plan, However, the need to displace employees and to integrate a large number
of them rather quickly into a new organization means that the personnel-planning and selection
process becomes critical more than ever.
Job fairs
The concept of a job fair is to bring those interested in finding a job into those companies who
are searching for applicants. Job fairs are open fora at which employers can exhibit the best their
companies have to offer so that job seekers can make informed choices. They are considered one
of the most effective ways for job seekers to land jobs. At the job fair, employers have a large
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
17/76
pool of candidates on which to draw, while job seekers have the opportunity to shop around for
dozenssometimes hundredsof employers, all in one place.
Not with standing the fact that the atmosphere at the fair is more relaxed than at an interview,
employers are still on the look out for qualified, potential employees who have interest,dedication and initiative.
Stages of recruitment process
STAGE 1:
RECRUITMENT 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 iscontemplated, one task is to estimate the number of applicants necessary to fill all vacancies with
the qualified people.
Types of contacts:
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
18/76
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 what types of recruitment and how many are required then one 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. (4).
Sources of recruitment. (5). Sequencing the activities in the recruitment process.
Make or Buy:
Organisation 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
make or buy 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 in recruitment 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, organisations 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:
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
19/76
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.
STAGE 3:
SEARCHNG:
Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin. Search
involves two steps
A). Source activation and
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 lone managers have verified
that vacancy does exist or will exist.
If the organisation 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,
organisation 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 organisation, 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.

20/76
STEP 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 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, at an early stage, those
applicants who are visibly unqualified for the job. 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 practice and a legal necessity
that applicants qualification is judged on the 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.
STAGE 5:
EVALUATION AND CONTROL:
Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred in the recruitmentprocess. The costs generally incurred are: -
7/31/2019 Tvc Ics Final-4
21/76

0:60 Define the Duties:
To find promising employees, you must first determine what you want them to do. Carefully
consider all direct and associated responsibilities and incorporate them into a written job
description. Be careful with general titles such as typist or sales clerk, as they have different
meanings to different people.
0:49 and What it Takes to do Them :
Fulfilling these responsibilities will require some level of skill and experience, even if it is anentry-level position. Be reasonable about your expectations. Setting the bar too high may limit
your available talent pool. Setting it too low risks a flood of applications from those unqualified
for the job.
0:37 make it worth their While:

Likewise, you dont want to be overly generous or restrictive about compensation. State and
local chambers of commerce, employment bureaus and professional associations can help you
determine appropriate wages and benefits. Scanning descriptions of comparable jobs in the
classified ads and other employment publications will also provide clues about prevailing wage
rates.
0:38 Spread the Word:
How you advertise your job opening depends on who you want to attract. Some positions are as
easy to promote as posting a help wanted sign in your store window or placing an ad in your
local newspaper. For jobs requiring more specialized skills, consider targeted channels such as
trade magazines, on-line job banks and employment agencies (though these may require a fee).
And dont overlook sources such as friends, neighbors, suppliers customers and present
employees.
0:25 talk it Over:
Because you have clearly defined the role and requirements, you should have little difficulty
identifying candidates for interviews. Make sure you schedule them when you have ample time
to review the resume, prepare your questions and give the candidate your undivided attention.
After the interview, jot down any impressions or key points while theyre still fresh in your
mind. This will be a valuable reference when its time to make a decision.
0:12 Follow-up on Interviews:
You want to believe your candidates are being honest, but never assume. Contact references to
make sure youre getting the facts or to clear up any uncertainties. Professional background
checks are a wise investment for highly sensitive positions, or those that involve handling
substantial amounts of money and valuables.

The following are the type of tests taken:
1). Ability tests: -
Assist in determining how well an individual can perform tasks related to the job. An
excellent illustration of this is the typing tests given to a prospective employer for secretarial job.
Also called as ACHEIVEMENT TESTS. It is concerned with what one has accomplished.
When applicant claims to know something, an achievement test is taken to measure how well
they know it. Trade tests are the most common type of achievement test given. Questions have

number of specialized activities. They cover such areas clerical aptitude, numerical aptitude,
mechanical aptitude, motor co-ordination, finger dexterity and manual dexterity. These tests help

moderate pressure and good legibility show leadership potential.

2. The attrition rate for the year ending is slightly more.3. HR team mainly focus on personal interview and group discussion during recruitment
process.
CALCULATION OF ATTRITION RATE
No of employees til date 100
Total no of employees
Suggestions:
1. As per the analysis, recruitment in TVSICS is mainly by employee referrals & jobportals. But its good for the company to go on college recruitment too, since they can
recruit new talents.
2.
Since the attrition rate is little higher for the annual year ending, the planning forrecruitment should be taken care & immediate replacements should be done during such
time.
3. The recruitment team should also conduct rounds like aptitude test & written tests to lookafter the efficiency of candidate in doing work.
Conclusion:
The human element of organization is the most crucial asset of an organization. Taking a closer
perspective -it is the very quality of this asset that sets an organization apart from the others, the
very element that brings the organizations vision into fruition.
Thus, one can grasp the strategic implications that the manpower of an organization has in
shaping the fortunes of an organization. This is where the complementary roles of Recruitment

and Selection come in. The role of these aspects in the contemporary organization is a subject on
which the experts have pondered, deliberated and studied, considering the vital role that they
obviously play.
The essence of recruitment can be summed up as the philosophy of attracting as manyapplicants as possible for given jobs. The face value of this definition is what guided
recruitment activities in the past. These days, however, the emphasis is on aligning the
organizations objectives with that of the individuals. By making this a priority, an organization
safeguards its interests and standing. After all, a satisfied workforce is a stable workforce which
also ensures that an organization has credible and reliable performance. In a bid to underscore
this subtle point, the project examines the various processes and nuances one of the most critical
activities of an organization.
The end result of the recruitment process is essentially a pool of applicants. Next to recruitment,
the logical step in the HR process is the selection of qualified and competent people. As such,
this process concentrates on differentiating between applicants in order to identifyand hire-
those individuals whose abilities are consistent with the organizations requirements.
The reader will do well to note that the transition activities are not stringent. The activities
basically have one aim- to yield a perfect employee for the organization.
Nor are these activities typecast. Every organization tailors the processes keeping in mind the
nature of the organization, its needs and constraints.
In the end, this project endeavors to present a comprehensive picture ofAn evaluation of
Recruitmentprocess and hopes to enable the reader to appreciate the various intricacies
involved.
