ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
One of the most pleasant aspects of writing an acknowledgement is the
opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to it. Unfortunately, the list of
expression of gratitude- no matter how extensive is always incomplete and inadequate.
This acknowledgement is no exception.First of all, I wish to express my sincere gratitude
to Faculty Guide, IIMT Professional College, Meerut, for giving me opportunity to do
research under her profound guidance. Because of her inspiring guidance, motivation,
positive criticism, continuous encouragement and untiring supervision this work could be
brought to its present shape.
I would like to thank all of them who in one way or the other have helped me.

PREFACE
This research Project was started with making to meet with the customers and seek
information through questionnaire and in formal interview, finally converting that leads
into potential business. In the process I used to face a lot of queries and arguments
regarding the quality and brand image of the chocolates. This conclusion drawn is based
on the observations and facts collected from the respondents and from the various sources
of primary data as well as secondary data. As a whole, my efforts were to give a
consolidated picture for the study. I expect my work would at least act as a source further
scope to the company, with this I whole heartily hand over my project hours to you.

During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India fortheir fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan
'Fill it - Shut it - Forget it' that emphasised the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the
company grow at a double-digit pace since inception. The technology in the bikes of

Termination of Hero and Honda joint venture
In December 2010, the Board of Directors of the Hero Honda Group have decided to
terminate the joint venture between Hero Group of India and Honda of Japan in a phased
manner. The Hero Group of India would buy out the 26% stake of the Honda in JV Hero
Honda. Under the joint venture Hero Group could not sell into international markets and
the termination would mean that Hero Group can exploit global opportunities now. Since
last 25 years the Hero Group relied on their Japanese partner Honda for R & D for new
bike models. So there are concerns that the Hero Group might not be able to sustain the
performance of the Joint Venture alone.
CBZ
The Hero Honda CBZ (pronounced CeeBeeZee) is the latest offering from Hero Honda
for the Indian market. With a 156cc engine, the company claims that the bike has a top

speed of 100kph within 5.6 seconds. Though the bike has the largest displacement
engine, its top speed doesn t match up to many of its competitors. In all other respects, it
is a bit too early to decide whether the CBZ will sell in the same numbers as the
Splendor. Though the initial market response has been good, only time will be the final
arbiter.

Splendor
A combination of style and economy makes the Splendor is a bike worth investing in.
The latest from the Hero Honda factory offers both performance and looks. It has good
looks, excellent handling characteristics and a smooth drive over any type of terrain,
thanks to the changes in the suspension at front and near as well as the new frame design.
All these features contribute to the Splendor being one of the best selling four stroke-two-
wheelers in India. It also meets all the current pollution standards. A healthier beat,
springy ride and overall low maintenance has aided in the record-breaking sales of this
bike.

Street 100
The Street 100 is Hero Motor's latest two-wheeler on offer in the step-through category.
The Hero Honda Street 100 is equipped with unique features like city-clutch, which is
designed specially for city driving. It has rotary gears, which allow the rider to flip
directly from the fourth gear to neutral once the bike has come to a halt, a must for the
present stop -and- go traffic. A self -starter button comes as an option. The Street can be
purchased with a variety of seat layouts and has options like a water pump, spray can,
larger luggage tray, etc. Its major competitor is the much cheaper K4 from Kinetic. Major
plus points that justify the higher price are the centrifugal clutch and the rotary gears.
However, the liberal use of plastics negates much of the feel good factor and has
hindered sales to a large extent.

The CD100SS is designed for those who live life in the fast lane, rough and tough, for
those who would love to take a bike on the stumbling village roads. It shares almost all
components with the CD100, except for the additional reinforcement. With larger,
reinforced shock absorbers, wider tyres, heavier body weight and engine guard, the Hero

KARIZAMA
If you look at the 223c mill of the Karizma, you can make out the familiar streak that
runs through the engines on the CBZ and the Ambition. No prizes on this count as to
the reason but the 223cc Karizma engine represents - for the moment - the maximum
capacity this modular design theme can be taken to. The crankcase is of virtually the
same size though the covers do have some detail differences and the engine mounts are
the same as in the other two bikes and completing the picture are the scaled-up barrel(with an additional fin) and head. The single overhead cam motor features slightly
undersquare cylinder dimensions with a 65.5mm bore and a 66.2mm stroke to give a
223cc swept volume. Hero Honda has designed in the latest convex-type combustion
chamber (compression ratio being 9.0 : 1) for silent running and good power delivery
8/3/2019 Babita Project
22/87
Babita Page 22
while also giving it the latest Keihin VE 3EA constant vacuum type carburettor which
also packs in the CCVI switch. The CCVI term stands for carb-controlled variable
ignition timing which as it suggests actuates - via throttle position - one of two ignition
maps, for low and high speed operation. This was one area which disappointed
appreciably in the CBZ wherein the engine sounded and felt harsh as one went past the
middle range but here this detail has eliminated such a glitch completely. Just for the
record, the 223cc engine gets the latest version of Honda's AMI (advanced
microprocessor ignition) system which incorporates a threetier, multi-stage digital
location system.
The all aluminium alloy engine (with pressed-in steel liner) features an automatic cam
chain tensioner, an air cut off valve (to prevent afterburning in the exhaust muffler) and
like on the CBZ and Ambition, an air injection valve to keep tail pipe emissions in
check. With all this and the extra cubic capacity, the Karizma engine develops 16.76bhp
at 7000rpm and 18.35Nm of torque at 6000rpm. This is about 2bhp and 5Nm more than
what the Pulsar 180 makes but the reasoning is that the engine had to be stressfree and
this fact holds true when out on the roads. Transmission is via a five-speed gearbox
which has had its final drive ratios revised from those in the CBZ. A stronger multi-
plate clutch is used to take care of the enhanced power and torque figures. This time
round Hero Honda has not faulted and equipped the engine withan electric starter even
though the kick starter to be actuated requires the front right footrest to be folded out of
the way.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCEDURE IN HERO HONDA
Human resource is a most valuable asset in the Organization. Profitability of the Organization
depends on its utilization. If their utilization is done properly Organization will make profit
otherwise it will make loss. If a good dancer appointed as a Chief Executive Officer of a
Company, he may not run the business. So right man should be procured at right place in right
time, otherwise their proper utilization may not be done. To procure right man at right place in
right time, some information regarding job and job doer is highly essential. These information
are obtained through Job Analysis, Job Descriptions, Job Specifications. HCL procure
manpower in a very scientific manner . It gets information by use of these important
documents like Job Analysis, Job Descriptions and Job Specifications. Without these
recruitment may be unsuccessful. Before recruit a person all information regarding job,working conditions, duties and responsibilities of job doer, Skills experiences qualifications of
an employee to do the particular job is highly essential. To obtain the pertinent information
regarding job, duties, responsibilities, working conditions, skill efficiency, education and
experience of the employee, HCL, gets the help of Job analysis, job description and job
specifications.
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, viz,
Planning.
Strategy development.
Searching.
Screening.
Evaluation and control.
The ideal recruitment programme is the one that attracts a relatively larger number of qualified
applicants who will survive the screening process and accept positions with the organisation,
8/3/2019 Babita Project
37/87
Babita Page 37
when offered. Recruitment programmes can miss the ideal in many ways i.e. by failing to
attract an adequate applicant pool, by under/over selling the organisation or by inadequate
screening applicants before they enter the selection process. Thus, to approach the ideal,
individuals 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:
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 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 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.
8/3/2019 Babita Project
38/87
Babita Page 38
(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 andeducation 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 marketsfor 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.
STAGE 3:
SEARCHNG:
Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin. Search
involves two steps
8/3/2019 Babita Project
39/87
Babita Page 39
A). Source activation and
B). Selling.
A). SOURCE ACTIVATION:
Typically, sources and search methods are activated by the issuance of an employeerequisition. 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.
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
8/3/2019 Babita Project
40/87
Babita Page 40
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 applicant s 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 recruitment
process. The costs generally incurred are: -
Salaries for recruiters.
Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job
specifications, advertisements, agency liaison and so forth.
The cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods, that is, agency fees.
8/3/2019 Babita Project
41/87
Babita Page 41
Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses.
Costs of overtime and outsourcing while the vacancies remain unfilled.
Cost of recruiting unsuitable candidates for the selection process.
1.4 EVALUATION OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS
The recruitment has the objective of searching for and obtaining applications for job seekers in
sufficient number and quality. Keeping this objective in the mind, the evaluation might
include:
Return rate of application sent out.
Number of suitable candidates for selection.
Retention and performance of the candidates selected.
Cost of the recruitment process
Time lapsed data

60-Second Guide to Hiring the Right People
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 an
entry-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
8/3/2019 Babita Project
42/87
Babita Page 42
for the job.
0:37 Make it Worth their While:
Likewise, you don t 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.
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 they re still fresh in your mind.
0:12 Follow-up on Interviews:
You want to believe your candidates are being honest, but never assume. Contact
references to make sure you re getting the facts or to clear up any uncertainties.
Professional background checks are a wise investment for highly sensitive positions.

DEFINITION It i s the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify ( and hire) with a

SELECTION PROCESS
Selection is along process, commencing from the preliminary interview of the applicants and
ending with the contract of employment. Eeffective selection process which ensures that only
the very best candidates are presented to clients on a short list of two or three. Our selection
process yields candidates who fit our clients' requirements so well that a large proportion of
our enquiries result in a successfully staffed project.
STEP 1: -
PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW
The applicants received from job seekers would be subject to scrutiny so as to eliminate
unqualified applicants. This is usually followed by a preliminary interview the purpose of
which is more or less the same as scrutiny of application, that is, eliminate of unqualified
applicants. Scrutiny enables the HR specialists to eliminate unqualified jobseekers based on the
information supplied in their application forms. Preliminary interview, on the other hand, helps
reject misfits for reason, which did not appear in the application forms. Besides, preliminary
interview, often called courtesy interview , is a good public relation exercise.
STEP 2: -
SELECTION TEST:
Job seekers who pass the screening and the preliminary interview are called for tests.
Different types of tests may be administered, depending on the job and the company.
Generally, tests are used to determine the applicant s ability, aptitude and personality.
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. Anexcellent illustration of this is the typing tests given to a prospective employer for secretarial
ob. Also called as ACHEIVEMENT TESTS . It is concerned with wh at 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
8/3/2019 Babita Project
46/87
Babita Page 46
given. Questions have been prepared and tested for such trades as asbestos worker, punch-press
operators, electricians and machinists. There are, of course, many unstandardised achievement
tests given in industries, such as typing or dictation tests for an applicant for a stenographic
position.
2). Aptitude test: -
Aptitude tests measure whether an individuals has the capacity or latent ability to learn a
given job if given adequate training. The use of aptitude test is advisable when an applicant has
had little or no experience along the line of the job opening. Aptitudes tests help determine a
person s potential to learn in a given area. An example of such test is the general management
aptitude tests (GMAT), which many business students take prior to gaining admission to a
graduate business school programme.
Aptitude test indicates the ability or fitness of an individual to engage successfully in any
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 to detect positive negative points in a person s sensory or intellectual ability. They focus
attention on a particular type of talent such as learning or reasoning in respect of a particular
field of work.
Forms of aptitude test:
Mental or intelligence tests:
They measure the overall intellectual ability of a person and enable to know whether the
person has the mental ability to deal with certain problems.
Mechanical aptitude tests:
They measure the ability of a person to learn a particular type of mechanical work. These
tests helps to measure specialized technical knowledge and problem solving abilities if the
candidate. They are useful in selection of mechanics, maintenance workers, etc.
Psychomotor or skills tests:
They are those, which measure a person s ability to do a specific job. Such tests are
8/3/2019 Babita Project
47/87
Babita Page 47
conducted in respect of semi- skilled and repetitive jobs such as packing, testing and
inspection, etc.
3). Intelligence test:
This test helps to evaluate traits of intelligence. Mental ability, presence of mind (alertness),
numerical ability, memory and such other aspects can be measured.
The intelligence is probably the most widely administered standardized test in industry. It is
taken to judge numerical, skills, reasoning, memory and such other abilities.
4). Interest Test:
This is conducted to find out likes and dislikes of candidates towards occupations, hobbies, etc.such tests indicate which occupations are more in line with a person s interest. Such tests also
enable the company to provide vocational guidance to the selected candidates and even to the
existing employees.
These tests are used to measure an individual s activity preferences. These tests are particularly
useful for students considering many careers or employees deciding upon career changes.
5). Personality Test:
The importance of personality to job success is undeniable. Often an individual who possesses
the intelligence, aptitude and experience for certain has failed because of inability to get along
with and motivate other people.
It is conducted to judge maturity, social or interpersonal skills, behavior under stress and strain,
etc. this test is very much essential on case of selection of sales force, public relation staff, etc.
where personality plays an important role.
Personality tests are similar to interest tests in that they, also, involve a serious problem of
obtaining an honest answer.
6). Projective Test:
This test requires interpretation of problems or situations. For example, a photograph or a
8/3/2019 Babita Project
48/87
Babita Page 48
picture can be shown to the candidates and they are asked to give their views, and opinions
about the picture.
7). General knowledge Test:
Now days G.K. Tests are very common to find general awareness of the candidates in the field
of sports, politics, world affairs, current affairs.
8). Perception Test:
At times perception tests can be conducted to find out beliefs, attitudes, and mental
sharpness.etc.
9). Graphology Test:
It is designed to analyze the handwriting of i ndividual. It has been said that an individual shandwriting can suggest the degree of energy, inhibition and spontaneity, as well as disclose
the idiosyncrasies and elements of balance and control. For example, big letters and emphasis
on capital letters indicate a tendency towards domination and competitiveness. A slant to the
right, moderate pressure and good legibility show leadership potential.
10). Polygraph Test:
Polygraph is a lie detector, which is designed to ensure accuracy of the information given in
the applications. Department store, banks, treasury offices and jewellery shops, that is, those
highly vulnerable to theft or swindling may find polygraph tests useful.
11). Medical Test:
It reveals physical fitness of a candidate. With the development of technology, medical tests
have become diversified. Medical servicing helps measure and monitor a candidate s physical
resilience upon exposure to hazardous chemicals.
CHOOSING TESTS:
The test must be chosen in the criteria of reliability, validity, objectivity and standardization.
They are: -
8/3/2019 Babita Project
49/87
Babita Page 49
1. RELIABILITY: -
It refers to standardization of the procedure of administering and scoring the test results.
A person who takes tests one day and makes a certain score should be able to take the same test
the next day or the next week and make more or less the same score. An individual s
intelligence, for example, is generally a stable characteristic. So if we administer anintelligence test, a person who scores 110 in March would score close to 110 if tested in July.
Tests, which produce wide variations in results, serve little purpose in selection.
2. VALIDITY: -
It is a test, which helps predict whether a person will be successful in a given job. A test
that has been validated can be helpful in differentiating between prospective employees who
will be able to perform the job well and those who will not. Naturally, no test will be 100%
accurate in predicting job success. A validated test increases possibility of success.
There are three ways of validating a test. They are as follows: -
1). Concurrent Validity: - this involves determining the factors that are characteristics of
successful employees and then using these factors as the yardsticks.
2). Predictive Validity: - it involves using a selection test during the selection process and
then identifying the successful candidates. The characteristics of both successful and less
successful candidates are then identified.
3). Synthetic Validity: - it involves taking parts of several similar jobs rather than one
complete job to validate the selection test.
3. OBJECTIVITY: -
When two or more people can interpret the result of the same test and derive the same
conclusion(s), the test is said to be objective. Otherwise, the test evaluators subjective
opinions may render the test useless.
4. STANDARDRIZATION: -
A test that is standardized is administered under standard condition to a large group of
person who are representatives of the individuals for whom it is intended. The purpose of
8/3/2019 Babita Project

standardization is to obtain norms or standard, so that a specific test score can be meaningful
when compared to other score in the group.
STEP 3: -
INTERVIEW:
The next step in the selection process is an interview. Interview is formal, in-depth
conversation conducted to evaluate the applicant s acceptability. It is considered to be excellent
selection device. It is face-to-face exchange of view, ideas and opinion between the candidates
and interviewers. Basically, interview is nothing but an oral examination of candidates.
Interview can be adapted to unskilled, skilled, managerial and profession employees.
Objectives of interview: -
Interview has at least three objectives and they are a follows: -
Helps obtain additional information from the applicants
Facilitates giving general information to the applicants such as company policies, job,
products manufactured and the like
Helps build the company s image amo ng the applicants.
Types of interview: -
Interviews can be of different types. There interviews employed by the companies.
Following are the various types of interview: -
Informal Interview:
An informal interview is an oral interview and may take place anywhere. The employee or
the manager or the personnel manager may ask a few almost inconsequential questions likename, place of birth, names of relatives etc. either in their respective offices or anywhere
outside the plant of company. It id not planned and nobody prepares for it. This is used widely
when the labour market is tight and when you need workers badly.

Formal Interview:
Formal interviews may be held in the employment office by he employment office in a
more formal atmosphere, with the help of well structured questions, the time and place of the
interview will be stipulated by the employment office.
Non-directive Interview:
Non-directive interview or unstructured interview is designed to let the interviewee speak his
mind freely. The interviewer has no formal or directive questions, but his all attention is to the
candidate. He encourages the candidate to talk by a little prodding whenever he is silent e.g.
Mr. Ray, please tell us about yourself after your graduated from high school.
The idea is o give the candidate complete freedom to sell himself, without the encumbrances
of the interviewer s question. But the interviewer must be of higher caliber and must guide andrelate the information given by the applicant to the objective of the interview.
Depth Interview:
It is designed to intensely examine the candidate s background and thinking and to go into
considerable detail on particular subjects of an important nature and of special interest to the
candidates. For example, if the candidate says that he is interested in tennis, a series of
questions may be asked to test the depth of understanding and interest of the candidate. These
probing questions must be asked with tact and through exhaustive analysis; it is possible to get
a good picture of the candidate.
Stress Interview:
It is designed to test the candidate and his conduct and behavior by him under conditions of
stress and strain. The interviewer may start with Mr. Joseph, we do not think your
qualifications and experience are adequate for this position, and watch the reaction of the
candidates. A good candidates will not yield, on the contrary he may substantiate why he is
qualified to handle the job.
This type of interview is borrowed from the Military organisation and this is very useful to test
8/3/2019 Babita Project
52/87
Babita Page 52
behaviour of individuals when they are faced with disagreeable and trying situations.
Group Interview:
It is designed to save busy executive s time and to see how the candidates may be brought
together in the employment office and they may be interviewed.
Panel Interview:
A panel or interviewing board or selection committee may interview the candidate, usually in
the case of supervisory and managerial positions. This type of interview pools the collective
udgment and wisdom of the panel in the assessment of the candidate and also in questioning
the faculties of the candidate.
Sequential Interview:
The sequential interview takes the one-to-one a step further and involves a series of interview,
usually utilizing the strength and knowledgebase of each interviewer, so that each interviewercan ask questions in relation to his or her subject area of each candidate, as the candidate
moves from room to room.
8/3/2019 Babita Project
53/87
Babita Page 53
Structures Interview:
In a structured interview, the interviewer uses preset standardized questions, which are put to
all the interviewees. This interview is also called as Guided or Patterned interview. It is
useful for valid results, especially when dealing with the large number of applicants.
Unstructured Interview:
It is also known as Unpatterned interview, the interview is largely unplanned and the
interviewee does most of the talking. Unguided interview is advantageous in as much as it
leads to a friendly conversation between the interviewer and the interviewee and in the process,
the later reveals more of his or her desire and problems. But the Unpatterned interview lacks
uniformity and worse, this approach may overlook key areas of the applicant s skills or
background. It is useful when the interviewer tries to probe personal details of the candidate it
analyse why they are not right for the job.
Mixed Interview:
In practice, the interviewer while interviewing the job seekers uses a blend of structured and
structured and unstructured questions. This approach is called the Mixed Interview. The
structured questions provide a base of interview more conventional and permit greater insights
into the unique differences between applicants.
Impromptu Interviews:
This interview commonly occurs when employers are approached directly and tends to be very
informal and unstructured. Applicants should be prepared at all times for on-the-spot
interviews, especially in situations such as a job fair or a cold call. It is an ideal time for
employers to ask the candidate some basic questions to determine whether he/she may be
interested in formally interviewing the candidate.
Dinner Interviews:
These interviews may be structured, informal, or socially situated, such as in a restaurant.
Decide what to eat quickly, some interviewers will ask you to order first (do not appear
indecisive). Avoid potentially messy foods, such as spaghetti. Be prepared for the conversation
to abruptly change from friendly chat to direct interview questions, however, do not

54/87
8/3/2019 Babita Project
55/87
Babita Page 55
the advantage of soliciting immediate, relatively candid comments and attitude can sometimes
be inferred from hesitations and inflections in speech. It may be stated that the
information gathered through references hardly influence selection decisions.
The reasons are obvious:
The candidate approaches only those persons who would speak well about him or her.
People may write favorably about the candidate in order to get rid of him or her.
People may not like to divulge the truth about a candidate, lest it might damage or ruin his/her
career.
STEP 5: -
SELECTION DECISION:-
After obtaining information through the preceding steps, selection decision- the most critical of
all the steps- must be made. The other stages in the selection process have been used to narrow
the number of the candidates. The final decision has to be made the pool of individuals who
pas the tests, interviews and reference checks. The view of the line manager will be generally
considered in the final selection because it is he/she who is responsible for the performance of
the new employee. The HR manager plays a crucial role in the final selection.
STEP 6: -
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: -
After the selection decision and before the job offer is made, the candidate is required to
undergo a physical fitness test. A job offer is, often, contingent upon the candidate being
declared fit after the physical examination. The results of the medical fitness test are recorded
in a statement and are preserved in the personnel records. There are several objectives behind a
physical test. Obviously, one reason for a physical test is to detect if the individual carries any
infectious disease. Secondly, the test assists in determining whether an applicant is physically
fit to perform the work. Thirdly, the physical examination information can be used to
determine if there are certain physical capabilities, which differentiate successful and less
successful employees. Fourth, medical check-up protects applicants with health defects from
8/3/2019 Babita Project
56/87
Babita Page 56
undertaking work that could be detrimental to them or might otherwise endanger the
employer s property. Finally, such an examination will protect the employer from workers
compensation claims that are not valid because the injuries or illness were present when the
employee was hired.
STEP 7: -
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 appointed. Such a letter generally
contains a date by which the appointee must report on duty. The appointee must be given
reasonable time for reporting. Thos is particularly necessary when he or she is already in
employment, in which case the appointee is required to obtain a relieving certificate from the
previous employer. Again, a new job may require movement to another city, which means
considerable preparation, and movement of property.
The company may also want the individual to delay the date of reporting on duty. If the new
employee s first job upon joining the company is to go on company until perhaps a week
before such training begins. Naturally, this practice cannot be abused, especially if the
individual is unemployed and does not have sufficient finances.
Decency demands that the rejected applicants be informed about their non-selection. Their
applicants may be preserved for future use, if any. It needs no emphasis that the applications of
selected candidates must also be preserved for the future references.
STEP 8: -
CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT: -
After the job offer has bee mad and candidates accept the offer, certain documents need to be
executed by the employer and the candidate. One such document is the attestation form. This
form contains vital details about the candidate, which are authenticated and attested by
him/her. Attestation form will be a valid record for the future reference. There is also a need
for preparing a contract of employment. The basic information that should be included in a
written contract of employment will vary according to the level of the job, but the following
8/3/2019 Babita Project
57/87
Babita Page 57
checklist sets out the typical headings:
ob title
Duties, including a parse such as The employee will perform such duties and will be
responsible to such a person, as the company may from time to time direct.
Date when continuous employment starts and the basis for calculating service.
Rate of pay, allowance, overtime and shift rates, method of payments.
Hours of work including lunch break and overtime and shift arrangements.
Holiday arrangements:
Paid holidays per year.
Calculation of holiday pay.
Qualifying period.
Accrual of holidays and holiday pay.
Details of holiday year.
Dates when holidays can be taken.
Maximum holiday that can be take at any one time.
Carry over of holiday entitlement.
Public holidays.
7. Length of notice due to and from employee.
8. Grievances procedure (or reference to it).
9. Disciplinary procedure (or any reference to it).
10. Work rules (or any reference to them).
8/3/2019 Babita Project
58/87
Babita Page 58
11. Arrangements for terminating employment.
12. Arrangements for union membership (if applicable).
Special terms relating to rights to patent s and designs, confidential information and restraints
on trade after termination of employment.
Employer s right to vary terms of the contract subject to proper notification being
given.Alternatively called employment agreements or simply bonds, contracts of employment
serve many useful purposes. Such contracts seek to restrain job-hoppers, to protect knowledge
and information that might be vital to a company s healthy bottom line and to prevent
competitors from poaching highly valued employees.
Great care is taken to draft the contract forms. Often, services of law firms (prominent
firms in this category include Mulla, Craigie, Blunt and Caroe, Crawford Bailey, AmarchandMangaldas Hiralal, etc.) are engag4d to get the forms drafted and finalized.Most employers
insist on agreements being signed by newly hired employees. But high turnover sectors such as
software, advertising and media are more prone to use contracts. The drawback with the
contracts is that it is almost to enforce them. A determined employee is bound to leave the
organization, contract or no contract. The employee is prepared to pay the penalty for
breaching the agreement or the new employer will provide compensations. It is the reason that
several companies have scrapped the contracts altogether.
STEP 9: -
CONCLUDING THE SELECTION PROCESS: -
Contrary to popular perception, the selection process will not end with executing the
employment contract. There is another step amore sensitive one reassuring those candidates
who have not selected, not because of any serious deficiencies in their personality, but because
their profile did not match the requirement of the organization. They must be told that thosewho were selected were done purely on relative merit.
STEP 10: -
EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROGRAMME: -
8/3/2019 Babita Project
59/87
Babita Page 59
The broad test of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of the personnel
hired. An organization must have competent and committed personnel. The selection process,
if properly done, will ensure availability of such employees. How to evaluate the effectiveness
of a selection programme? A periodic audit is the answer. People who work independent of HR
department must conduct audit. The table below contains an outline that highlights the areas
and questions to be covered in a systematic evaluation.
Four Approaches to Selection:
1). Ethnocentric Selection:
In this approach, staffing decisions are made at the organization s headquarters.
Subsidiaries have limited autonomy, and the employees from the headquarters at home and
abroad fill key jobs. Nationals from the parent country dominate the organisations at home and
abroad.
2). Polycentric Selection:
In polycentric selection, each subsidiary is treated as a distinct national entity with local
control key financial targets and investment decisions. Local citizens manage subsidiaries, but
the key jobs remain with staff from the parent country. This is the approach, which is largely
practiced in our country
3). Regiocentric Selection: -
Here, control within the group and the movements of staff are managed on a regional
basis, reflecting the particular disposition of business and operations within the group.
Regional managers have greater discretion in decision. Movement of staff is largely restricted
to specific geographical regions and promotions to the jobs continue to be dominated by
managers from the parents company.
4). Geocentric Staffing: -
In this case, business strategy is integrated thoroughly on global basis. Staff
development and promotion are based on ability, not nationality. The broad and other parts of
the top management structure are thoroughly international in composition. Needless to say,
8/3/2019 Babita Project
60/87
Babita Page 60
such organisations are uncommon.
PROBLEMS IN EFFECTIVE SELECTION: -
The main objective of selection is to hire people having competence and commitment. This
objective s often defeated because of certain barriers. The impediments, which check
effectiveness of selection, are fairness, validity, reliability and pressure.
Fairness: -
Fairness in selection requires that no individual should be discriminated against on the basis of
religion, region, race or gender. But the low numbers of women and other less privileged
sections of the society in middle and senior management positions and open discrimination on
the basis of age in job advertisements and in the selection process would suggest that all the
8/3/2019 Babita Project
61/87
Babita Page 61
efforts to minimize inequity have not been effective.
Validity: -
Validity, as explained earlier, is a test that helps predict job performance of an incumbent. Atest that has been validated can differentiate between the employees who perform well and
those who will not. However, a validated test does not predict job success accurately. It can
only increase possibility of success.
Reliability: -
A reliable method is one, which will produce consistent results when repeated in similar
situations. Like validated test, a reliable test may fail to predict job performance with precision.
Pressure: -
Pressure is brought on the selectors by politicians, bureaucrats, relatives, friends and peers to
select particular candidates. Candidates selected because of compulsions are obviously not the
right ones. Appointments to public sectors undertakings generally take place under such
pressures.
Environment factor affecting selection: -
Selection is influenced by several factors. More prominent among them are supply and
demand of specific skills in the labour market, unemployment rate, labour- market conditions,
legal and political considerations, company s image, company s policy, human resources
planning and cost of hiring. The last three constitute the internal environment and the
remaining form the external environment of selection process.

Research Methodology
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY :
Without focusing the pattern of management, organization philosophy highlights on
achieving a surely where all citizens (employees) can lead a richer and fuller life. Every
organisation, therefore, strikes for greater productivity, elimination of wastes, lower costs
and higher wages, so the industry needs a stable and energetic labours force that can
boast of production by increased productivity. To achieve these objectives a good
recruitment process is essential. By which industry strikes right number of persons and
right kind of persons at the right time and at right places through and the planning period
without hampering productivity.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY :
The objective of the study is to analyze the actual recruitment process in HERO HONDA
and to evaluate how far this process confirm to the purposes underlying the operational
aspects of the industry. How far the process is accepted by it ? And what are the options
of the family members of the organization? The study on recruitment highlights the need
of recruitment in HERO HONDA Private Limited. Our research design is basically
Exploratory in nature which helps in developing the new ideas and insights about the
problem under study. These are flexible in nature that helps in gathering the relevant data
to the problem, and hence many different facts of problem can be considered.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
Scope of the study is to find out how far the existing training developments cater to the
requirement of the employees. The study will be table to throw light on the dark sports
where it needs some sort of improvement in the training developments that have been
implemented. The investigation was taken around the work place and offered an
opportunity to be with man at work. The purpose of the visit was made clear to them.
They was being, convinced and made to understand that the study was only of academic
interest. The necessary records and files were exposed the investigation to have clear
understanding of its policies and to have employees existing training and development.
