secondary kinds .The primary source of data was through questionnaire

STATISTICAL TOOLS:-It is very difficult to have detailed knowledge of employees working in

Archies Ltd. So the surveyor has taken 20 samples due to limited resources

and time factor. The management ranks are working in different categories of

different department. Thus it becomes equally justified to plan in such a way

that it covers all departments.

3.1 Recruitment Definition:

According to FLIPPO,

“Recruitment is the process of searching the candidate for employment and

stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.”

This is the positive aspect as it attracts suitable applicants to apply for

available jobs.

Sources of Recruitment:

16

Page 17: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

Before an organization actively begins security applicants, it should consider

the most likely source of the type of employee it needs. These sources may be

termed as:

INTERNAL SOURCES

Internal sources include personal already on the pay roll of an organization i.e.

its present working force. Whenever any vacancy occurs, sanctioning from

within the organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted and sometimes

demoted.

This source also includes personal who where once on the pay roll of the

company but who plan to return or whom the company would like to retire,

such as those on leave or absence, those who exit volunteering or those on

production lay.

This source is used by many organizations, but a surprisingly large number

ignore this source. It is not only reasonable but wise to use this source, if the

vacancies to be filled out within the capacity of the present employer.

These are as follows:

Transfer :

It involves shifting of an employer from one job to another, one

department to another or from one shift to another. Transfer is a good

source of filling vacancies with employees from overstaffed

departments or shifts.

Promotion :

17

Page 18: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

It leads to shifting an employee to a higher position carrying higher

responsibilities, facilities, status & pay.

Merits of Internal Sources:

Employees are motivated to improve their performance.

Morale of the employees is increased.

Industrial peace prevails in the enterprise because of promotional

avenues.

Transfer or job rotation is a tool of training the employees to prepare

them for higher jobs.

Demerits of Internal Sources:

When vacancies are filled through internal promotions, the scope for

fresh talents is reduced.

The employees may become lethargic, if they are sure of time bound

promotions.

The spirit of competition among the employees may be hampered.

Frequent transfers of employees may reduce the overall productivity of

the organization.

EXTERNAL SOURCES

These sources lie outside the organization. They usually include:

i. New entrants to the labor force, i.e. young mostly un-experienced

potential employees – the college students.

18

Page 19: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

ii. The unemployed – with a wide range of skills and abilities.

These are as follows:

Campus Recruitment :

Jobs in commerce & industry have become and complex to the

point where college degrees or diploma are widely required. It is

also known as educational institutions.

Consultants :

Management consultancy firms help the organization to help recruit

technical, professional and managerial personnel. They are specializing

in middle level executive placements.

Employment Agency :

Employment Agencies run by the government are regarded as a good

source of recruitment for unskilled, semi-skilled & skilled operative

jobs. They provide a nation-wide service in attempting to match

personnel demand & supply.

Casual Callers :

It avoids the cost of recruiting work force from other sources. They

maintain pending folders for various jobs.

Media Advertisements :

Advertisements in newspapers or trade and professional journals are

generally used when qualified and experienced personnel are not

available from other sources.

Labor Contractors:

19

Page 20: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

They are important source of recruitment in some industries in India;

workers are recruited through labor contractors who are themselves

employees of the organization.

Merits of External Sources:

Qualified Personnel

Wider Choice

Fresh Talent

Competitive Spirit

Demerits of External Sources:

Dissatisfaction among existing staff.

Lengthy process.

Costly process.

Uncertain response.

3.2 Selection

Definition:

According to YODER,

“The process of choosing applicable candidates from applicants whose skills

match the requirements of the job.”

The selection process is a critical process because it requires a heavy

investment of money to get right type of people. Induction & training costs are

also very high. That’s why selection is a negative process.

24

Page 25: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

Benefits of selecting right kind of people for various jobs are:-

Proper selection & placements of personnel.

Competent employee will show higher efficiency and enable the

organization to achieve its objectives effectively.

The rate of industrial accidents will be considerably low.

The morale of the employees who are satisfied with their jobs is often

high.

Selection Process can be explained as follows:

Initial screening : This is the first step in the selection process.

In this, the minimum qualification of a candidate is

checked. If he/she fails to meet the minimum qualification

then he/she will be rejected. But if he/she achieves it then

he/she would be passing on to next test.

Employment test : This is the second step. In this, various types

of tests will be taken such as: - intelligence test, aptitude test,

proficiency test, interest test, personality test. These are as

follows:26

Permanent Job Offer

Page 27: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

Intelligence test : They are those tests which are used to

judge the mental capacity of the applicants. They measure

the individual abilities and also the ability to make

decision and judgment. There are many verbal as well as

non-verbal intelligence tests conducted by the

psychologists for different jobs.

Aptitude test : Aptitude means the potential which an

individual has for learning the skills required to do a job

efficiently. These tests measure an applicant’s capacity and

his potential for development. These are of 2 types:

cognitive tests: which measures mental and intellectual

aptitude. Motor tests which measures physical dimension

such as manual dexterity or hand-eye co-ordination.

Proficiency test : They are those which are designed to

measure the skills already acquired by the individuals.

They are also known as performance, occupational or trade

tests. It takes a sample of individual’s behavior which is

designed for the actual work situation.

Interest test: It identify pattern of interests in which the

individual’s show special concern and involvement. These

tests suggest what type of jobs may be satisfying to the

employees.

Personality tests : It tells the qualities of the personality as

a whole, the combination of aptitude, interest and usual

27

Page 28: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

mode and temperament it is very difficult to devise and use

personality tests.

When a candidate passes this test, then he/she will be passed on

to another selection round. If he/she fails to do so then he/she

would be rejected.

Selection Interview: This is the next step. In this, various types

of interviews will be taken such as: - patterned or structured

interview, unstructured or non-directed interview, preliminary or

background information interview, stress interview and group

interview. These are as follows:

Patterned or Structured Interview : In this a series of

questions are standardized in advance. Answers to these

questions are compared with a critical score and used in

discriminating who is to be selected. During interview, the

standard questions are asked as they are written; the order

may be varied but not the phrasing of the question.

Unstructured or Non-Directed Interview: The interviewer

does not ask direct and specific questions. He tries to

create an atmosphere in which the candidate feels free to

talk on the subject selected by the interviewer.

Preliminary or Background Information Interview : This

type of interview is conducted when the history of the

applicant has to be known in terms of his experience,

education, health, interests, etc.

28

Page 29: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

Stress Interview : The applicant is intentionally put under a

stress by interrupting him, criticizing his view-point and

keeping silent after he has finished speaking. It is used for

the higher posts. It requires that the interviewer must be

tactful and skillful.

Group Interview : It is an interview if a group of applicants.

It is used where it is essential to know how the candidates

behave in groups.

When candidate passes, then he/she would be passed on to next

round. But if he/she fails, then he/she would be rejected.

Background Examination: In this round, the background

would be checked. For example, some people belong to specific

quota such as SC/ST, OBC, Kashmiri Migrants, defense,

physically handicapped, etc. In these cases, background

certificates would be required. If any problem encounters and the

candidates do not clear this round then he/she would not be

passing on to next step. He/she will be rejected.

Medical or Physical Examination : In this phase, the

candidate has to face the medical test and the physical test. This

clears that whether the selected candidate is physically fit or

healthy to perform the job or not. If any problem encounters then

he/she will be rejected. But if he/she clears the medical or

physical examination then her/she would get permanent job

opportunity. 29

Page 30: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

The selection process is the process of choosing only 0those applicant

candidates from applicants whose skills match the requirements of the job.

That is why selection process is considered as the negative process.

Offer Letter:-After the selection procedure when the candidate is selected, the organization gives him/her an offer letter for that particular post.

4.1 Introduction of SWOT Analysis

64

Page 65: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

SWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction

and serves as a basis for the development of marketing plans. It

accomplishes this by assessing an organizations strengths (what an

organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in

addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an

organization) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an

organization). SWOT analysis is an important step in planning and its

value is often underestimated despite the simplicity in creation. The role of

SWOT analysis is to take the information from the environmental analysis

and separate it into internal issues (strengths and weaknesses) and external

issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis

determines if the information indicates something that will assist the firm

in accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity), or if it indicates

an obstacle that must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results.

The aim of SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors

that are important to achieving the objective. These come from within the

company's unique value chain. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of

information into two main categories:

Internal factors – The strengths and weaknesses internal to the

organization.

External factors – The opportunities and threats presented by

the external environment to the organization.

The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending

upon their impact on the organization's objectives. The external factors may

include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-65

Page 66: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

cultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive

position. The results are often presented in the form of a matrix.

SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own

weaknesses. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear

prioritization so that, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats.

A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the

strategic planning process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually

can be classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses (W), and those external to the

firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T). Such an analysis of

the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis.

|SWOT Matrix

4.2 Uses of SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired

end-state (objective) has been defined. Examples include: non-profit

66

Page 67: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

organizations, governmental units, and individuals. A SWOT analysis process

generates information that is helpful in matching an organization or group’s

goals, programs, and capacities to the social environment in which it operates.

The ‘SWOT’ itself is only a data capture exercise

Strengths : positive tangible and intangible attributes, internal to an

organization and within the organisation’s control.

Weaknesses : internal factors within an organisation’s control that

detract from the organisation’s ability to attain the desired goal.

Opportunities : external attractive factors that represent the reason for

an organization to exist and develop. What opportunities exist in the

environment, which will propel the organization?

Threats : external factors beyond the organisation’s control which could

place the organization mission or operation at risk. The organization

may benefit by having contingency plans to address them if they should

occur.

The strengths & weaknesses are intrinsic value-creating skills or relative to

competitive forces. Opportunities & threats are external factors which are

not created by the organization, but emerge as a result of the competitive

dynamics caused by future gaps in the market.

4.3 Merits & Demerits of SWOT Analysis

Merits

Simple four box framework & flexible. 67

Page 68: Archies recruitment & selection process (1)

Facilitates the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.

Encourages the development of strategic thinking.

Enables a management team to focus on strengths & build

opportunities.

Can enable an organization to anticipate future business threats and take

action to avoid or minimize their impact.

Can enable an organization to spot business opportunities and exploit

them fully.

Demerits

It is easy to use scant data.

To be effective, this needs to be undertaken on a regular basis.

The best reviews require different people being involved each having a

different perspective.

Access to quality internal data sources, this can be time consuming and

politically difficult

The pace of change makes it increasingly difficult to anticipate

developments that may affect an organization in the future.

The data used in the analysis may be based on assumptions that

subsequently prove to be unfounded (good & bad).

7.3 Suggestions

Evaluate current skill-set using a suitable skills audit tool.

Identify any skills gap between what people have and what is needed.

Work with the human resources team and use tools like the People

Skills Scoreboard to assess your needs and targets.  Evaluate the

process using a suitable audit tool.

Recruitment activities could be combined for the purpose of cutting on

advertisement costs and cost involved in holding of interviews plus

outside help could taken for organizing interviews.

Summer trainees should be allowed to avail various welfare facilities

like travel free in company buses, subsidized food etc. so as to attract

them to apply for job in ARCHIES Ltd.

Organization should continue using redeployment, retrenchment and

instruments like VRS in order to reduce effectively its staff in areas of

surplus.
