    CHAPTER-1

    INTRODUCTION: STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

    1.1.1 RECRUITMENT

    Recruitment forms the first stage in the process, which continue selection and

    cases with the placement of the candidate. It is second step in procurement

    function of manpower planning. Recruitment is a linking activity bringing

    together those with jobs and those seeking jobs.

    According to Flippo:

    "Recruitment is both positive and negative activity. It is often termed positive in

    that it stimulates people to apply for jobs to increase the hiring ratio. Selection

    on the other hand tends to be negative because it reject a good member of those

    who apply living only the beat to be hired. "

    According to Yoder:

    "Recruitment is the process to sourc

    e of manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ

    effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to

    facilitate affective selection of an efficient working force

    Theory Regarding Recruitment:

    Recruitment is a two way street: -- It takes a recruiter and a Recruiter. Just as

    the recruiter has a choice whom to recruit and whom not. So also the

    prospective employee has to make the decision if he should apply for that

    organization join. The individual makes this decision usually on three different

    1

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    2/51

    bases; the objective factors critical contact, and subjective factors. The

    objective factors theory views the process of organizational choice as being one

    the weighing and evaluating a set of measurable characteristics of employment

    offer such as pay, benefit, location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of

    the work to be performed and educational opportunities.

    The critical contact theory suggest that the typical candidate unable to make a

    meaningful differential of organization's offer in term of objective or subjective

    factors because of his limited or very short contact with the organization.

    Choice can be made only when the applicant can readily perceive the factor

    such as the behavior or the recruiter the nature of the physical facility, and the

    efficiency in processing paper work associated with the application.

    Factor affecting Recruitment:

    All the organization whether large pr small engage in Recruiting activity it

    differs with:

    The size of organization. The rate of growth of organization.

    The employment condition in the community where the organization

    located.

    Working condition shall be and benefit package offered by the

    organization.

    Cultural economic and legal factor etc.

    1.1.2 RECRUITMENT POLICY:

    Such a policy asserts the objective of the recruitment and provides a framework

    of implementation of the recruitment program in the form of procedure. As

    Yoder and other observe:

    Such a policy may involve commitment to board principal such as filling

    vacancies with the best qualified individuals. It may embrace several issues

    2

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    3/51

    such as extend of promotion for with in, attitude of enterprise in recruiting its

    old employer, handicap, minority, group woman employee, part time

    employees, friends and relative of present employees. It may also involve the

    organization system to be developed for implementing recruitment program and

    procedures to the employed.

    Therefore a well consider and preplan recruitment policy, based on corporate

    goals, study of environment and the corporate needs may avoid hasty or ill-

    considered decision and may a long way to main the organization with the right

    type of personal.

    A good recruitment policy must contain these elements:

    (A) Organization objective both in the short term and long term must be

    taken consideration as a basis parameter for recruitment decision and

    needs of personal - area wise job family wise.

    (B) Identification of the recruitment needs to take decisions regarding the

    balance of the qualitative' dimensions' of the would be recruits i.e. the

    recruiter should prepare profile for each category of worker

    accordingly work out the man specification decide the section,

    department upper braches where the should be placed and identify the

    particular responsibilities which may be immediately assigned to

    them.

    (C) Preferred sources of recruitment, which would be tapped by the

    organization e.g. for skilled or semi skilled annual workers internalsources and employment exchanged may be preferred for highly

    specialized categories and managerial personal, other sources besides

    the former, may be utilized.

    (D) The cost of requirement and financial implication of the same.

    There are several pre-requisites of a good recruitment policy:

    1) Abide by the relevant public policy legislation on hiring and

    employment relationship.

    2) Provide employees with job security and continuous employment.

    3) Integrate organizational needs and employee needs.

    4) Provide each employee with freedom and opportunity to utilized

    and developed knowledge and skilled to the maximum possible

    extent.

    5) Treat all employees fairly and equitably in all employment

    relationship.

    6) Provide suitable jobs and protection to handicapped, woman and

    minority groups.

    7) Encourage responsible trade union.

    8) Be flexible enough to meet the changing needs of the

    organization.

    Sources of Recruitment:

    Normally an organization can fill up its vacancies either through promotions of

    people available in the organization or though the selection of people from

    outside. Thus recruitment may be classified in two broad categories.

    Internal sources

    External sources

    Internal Sources:

    a. Present employees- whenever any vacancies occur somebody from

    with in the organization is promoted transferred promoted or some

    time demoted.

    b. Retired and retrenched employees who want to return to the company

    may be hired.

    4

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    5/51

    c. Dependents and relative of diseased and disabled employees

    Advantages of internal sources: -

    It improves the moral of employees.

    Provide grater motivation for good performance.

    It is a less costly source than going outside to recruit.

    Greater promotion opportunities for the present employees.

    Labor turns over reduced.

    Disadvantages of internal sources: Chances of favoritism.

    It discourages the flow of new blood in to the organization.

    As promotion is based on seniority the danger is that really capable

    hands may not he chosen.

    1.1.3 EXTERNAL SOURCES:

    While vacancies through internal source can be filled up either though

    promotion or transfer, recruiter tends to focus their attention on external source.

    Normally following external source is utilized for different position. 1.

    Advertisement:

    Advertisement is the most effective means to search potential employees from

    out side the organization. Employment in journals, newspaper, bulletins etc is

    quite common is our country. It has a very wide reach. One advertisement in a

    leading daily can cover millions of persons throughout the country. Cost per

    person is very low it is used for clerical, technical and managerial jobs.

    2. Employment Agencies:

    5

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    6/51

    In our country two types of employment agencies are operating. Public

    employment agencies and private employment agencies.

    a. Public employment agencies: there are employment exchanges run by

    the government, almost in all districts. Normally such exchanges

    provide candidates for lower position like clerk and junior supervisor

    etc.

    b. Private employment agencies: there are many consultancies and

    employment agencies like ABC consultant, A.F. Ferguson and

    company, personal and productivity services, S.B. Billimoria and

    company etc. which provide employment services particularly for

    selecting higher level and middle level executives.

    3. Campus Recruitment:

    Many organizations conduct preliminary search of prospective employees by

    conductive interviews at the campuses of various institute, universities and

    colleges. IIMs, IITs, engineering colleges. It is and universities are good sources

    for recruiting well-qualified executives, engineers, medical staff, chemist,

    pharmacist etc.

    4. Employee recommendations:

    The idea behind employee recommendation as a source of potential applicants

    is that the present employees may have a specific knowledge of the individuals

    who may be their friends, relatives. If the present employees are reasonably

    satisfied with their jobs, they communicate these feelings give preference to

    local people (sons of the sole) in recruitments, particularly at lower and middle

    levels jobs.

    5. Labor Contractors:Manual workers can be recruited through a contractor who maintains close links

    6

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    7/51

    with source of such workers. This source is often used to recruit labor for

    construction jobs. The disadvantage of this source is that when the contractor

    leaves the organization people employed through him also go.

    6. Gate Recruitment:

    Gate recruiting is quite useful and convenient method at the initial stage of the

    organization. When large number of such people may be required by the

    organization. In some industries like jute the large number of workers work as

    "badli" or "substitute" workers. A notice on the notice board of the company

    specifying the details of the job vacancies can be put. It is very economical.

    7. Similar Organizations:

    Experienced employees can be recruited by offering better benefits to the people

    working in similar organization. Newly established organizations of well-known

    houses often lure experienced executives and technical experts from the public

    sectors.

    8. Deputation:

    Many organizations take people on deputation from other

    organization/department of the same corporate. Such people are given choice

    either to return to their original organization after a certain time or to opt for the

    present organization.

    9. Computer data Banks:

    When a company desires a particular type of employee, job specification and

    requirements are fed into a computer where they matched against the resume

    7

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    8/51

    data stored therein. The output is a set of resumes for individuals who meet the

    requirements.

    Advantages of External Sources:

    It helps to bring new blood and new ideas into the organization.

    Expertise and experience from other organization can be brought.

    It doesn't change the present organizational hierarchy that much.

    As recruitment is done from a wider market, best selection can be made.

    Disadvantages of External Sources:

    This source is more costly and time consuming.

    The orientation and training of new employees is necessary.

    If higher level of jobs is filled from external sources, motivation and

    loyalty of existing staff are affected.

    providing in MBA or this manner. Sometimes firms directly solicit

    useful for blue collar and hourly workers as well as scientific

    practice some companies usually hire more than the actual number

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    RECRUITMENT AND SELECTIONWinston & Creamer, (1997)

    18

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    19/51

    According to authors, Higher education is a human resource intensive

    enterprise. It is not surprising, then, that recruitment and selection of staff

    should be a very high priority in most if not all units and divisions of student

    affairs. Recruitment and selection should include procedures directed to analyze

    the need and purpose of a position, the culture of the institution, and ultimately

    to select and hire the person that best fits the position. Recruitment and selection

    policy should, then, be directed toward the following objectives:

    Hire the right person. Conduct a wide and extensive search of the potential position candidates.

    Recruit staff members who are compatible with the environment and

    culture.

    Hire individuals by using a model that focuses on company objectives

    Place individuals in positions with responsibilities that will enhance their

    personal development.

    Every position vacancy will be filled based upon a thorough position

    analysis regardless of the level of the position or the extent of the search.

    The diversity goals of the institution, division of student affairs, and the

    unit will be addressed in all recruitment and selection processes.

    Units may use different processes for recruitment depending upon the

    circumstances surrounding the need to fill the position, but must take steps to

    ensure that the values of the profession are applied in all procedures that are

    used., Recruitment and selection committee' members should be properly

    trained to assume the important responsibilities of recruitment and selection.

    Supervisors should adhere to any institution-wide recruitment and selection

    programs. This cannot, however, substitute for an understanding of procedures

    and processes from a student affairs perspective.

    Recruitment and selection will be planned, implemented, and evaluated to

    ensure that each potential employee is provided equal opportunities to compete

    for the position.

    APPOINTMENTS PROCESS FOR CONSULTANT RECRUITMENT

    Professor Fiona Patterson Dr Maura Kerrin (November 2007)

    The design and implementation of valid assessment methods starts with a

    thorough job analysis which defines the selection criteria required for the post.

    When choosing a selection method, issues of reliability, validity, feasibility,

    fairness and equity should be taken into account. It is important that the process

    is seen to be fair by all candidates. Research shows that candidates favour

    selection methods which are job relevant and less personally intrusive.

    Applicants also value the opportunity to meet personally with recruiters and

    have a preference for multiple opportunities to demonstrate their skills. They

    also tend to prefer selection systems which are administered consistently for all

    applicants. The selection methods should be developed carefully through

    piloting with diverse populations. The selection process must be evaluated and

    reviewed by monitoring candidates with respect to diversity and subsequent job

    performance.

    The evaluation of the selection process should lead to improvements aimed at

    enhancing validity and reducing adverse impact. Individuals involved in

    assessing candidates during the selection process should have received

    appropriate training (for example in interview skills) and have been adequately

    briefed about the selection criteria. Assessors should 'also be aware of unfair

    discrimination and equal opportunity legislation, two aspects which have a

    20

  • 7/29/2019 m Bahr Gates

    21/51

    serious impact on the diversity of the organisation. Feedback should always be

    provided as part of the selection process.

    RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION: MEETING THE LEADERSHIP

    SHORTAGE IN ONE LARGE CANADIAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

    Anthony H. Normore, Florida International University(2004)

    The purpose of this study was to investigate a recruitment and selection

    program used to attract and retain aspiring and practicing school administrators

    in North Western School District (pseudonym) - a large urban Canadian schooldistrict in Ontario. The district recently developed and implemented a

    recruitment and selection program in attempts to meet the leadership shortage

    for its schools. For purposes of the article, recruitment and selection refers to

    the processes and strategies school districts engage in to attract future leaders.

    The article will focus on: (a) a description of the recruitment and selection

    efforts, and; (b) perspectives from the participants about the process and its

    effectiveness, followed by a discussion. An analysis of the findings is presented

    and linked to the literature. Implications for practice and policy are discussed.

    The role of the principal in successful schools has transcended the traditional

    notion of functional management, power, behaviour style, and instructional

    leadership. Today's principals face more complex expectations forged by a very

    different student population and a new generation dissatisfied with the

    educational status quo. At a time when many view the schools as one of the few

    intact social organizations, students arrive with very different attitudes,

    motivations, and needs than students of generations past.

    5.3 CONCLUSION

    Recruitment & Selection in Gate India Private Limited is good enough. To pick

    out good quality people from the crowd. Recruitment is an important function

    as it makes it possible to acquire the number and type of persons necessary for

    the continued functioning of the organization. Careful recruitment of employees

    is particularly important in India because the chances of mismatching the job

    and the person are greater. Due to widespread unemployment the job seeker

    tends to accept any job irrespective of his suitability. The basic purpose of

    Recruitment is to locate the sources of people required to meet job requirements

    and attracting such people to offer themselves for employment in the

    organization.
