INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT

INTRODUCTION:
Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them
to apply for jobs in the organization. Recruitment is concerned with developing suitable
techniques for attracting more and more candidates. Recruitment is a linkage activity
bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Recruitment is just one step in
the process of employment.
Objectives of Recruitment
Internal source
External source
Internal source
These are the most obvious sources. They include the present working force. Whenever
any vacancy occurs, somebody from within the organization is upgraded, transferred,
promoted. This source also includes personnel who were once on the payroll wherein the
company would like to rehire, such as those on leave of absence, those who quit or those
on production lay-offs.
Merits:
8
1. Improves moral of employees because the y are assured of preference over
outsider s during vacancies.
2. The employer is in a better position to evaluate those presently employed than
outsider.
3. Promotes loyalty among employees as it gives them a sense of job security and
opportunities for advancement.
4. Little training is required as the persons are acquainted with the company’s
policies and operating procedures.
5. The persons can be relied upon.
6. It is less costly.
Demerits
1. Leads to inbreeding and discourages new blood from entering the organization.
2. Internal sources may dry up, as it may be difficult to find the requisite personnel
from within.
3. As promotion is based on seniority, it can occur that capable hands may not be
chosen.
This source is used by many organizations, but a large no. also ignore this source
especially for middle management jobs. It is not only reasonable but also wise to use this
source if the vacancies to be filled are within the capacity of present employees.
External source
Merits
1. External sources provide the requisite type of personnel having skill, training and
education.
2. The best selections can be made from a large no. of candidates without any
distinctions.
3. Economical in the long run because potential employees do not need extra training.
Demerits
1. The system suffers from what is called as “brain drains” especially when experienced
persons are raided by other concerns.
SELECTION:
10
Selection is the process of picking up individuals (out of the pool of job applicants) with
requisite qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization.
The selection process is a tool in the hands of management to differentiate between the
qualified and unqualified applicants by applying various techniques such as interviews,
tests etc. Selection procedure may be compared to a series of barriers which an applicant
is required to cross before he is finally selected.
Selection process is concerned with the development of selection policies and procedure
and the evaluation of potential employees in terms of job specifications. This process
includes the development of application blanks, valid and reliable tests, interview
techniques employee reversal systems, evaluations and selections of personnel in terms of
jobs specifications the making up of final recommendations to the hire management and
the sending of offers and rejection latter’s.
“Selection is the process of examining the applicants with regard to their suitability for
the given job or jobs, and choosing the best candidate and rejecting the others.” Good
recruitment practices are only one key to generating a pool of top job candidates. Equally
important is having a strong basis from which to recruit. If an organization’s policies and
practices are unattractive to candidates, the organization’s ability to generate good
candidates will be limited regardless of the specific recruitment practices they employee.
11
The selection process is followed immediately after undertaking the recruitment function.
The selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about an
applicant in a no. of stages. The objective here is to determine whether an applicant meets
the qualifications for a specific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to
perform well in that job.
At each stage in the selection procedure, facts may come to light leading to the rejection
of the applicants. The procedure can be compared to a series of successive hurdles that an
applicant has to cross. The complexity of a process usually increases with the level and
responsibility of the position to be filled.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
16
Review of Literature:
This chapter presents the literature pertaining to role and the importance of recruitment
sources. A diverse range of studies have been conducted by various scholars, which
present different perspectives with regard to the role of recruitment and recruitment
sources.
Most employers recognize the fact that their staff is their greatest asset, and the right
recruitment and induction processes are vital in ensuring that the new employee becomes
effective in the shortest time. The success of an organization depends on having the right
number of staff, with the right skills and abilities. Organizations’ may have a dedicated
personnel/human resource function overseeing this process, or they may devolve these
responsibilities to line managers and supervisors. Many people may be involved, and all
should be aware of the principles of good practice. Even it is essential to involve others in
the task of recruitment and induction.
According to Robins, in his study revealed that, “The ideal recruitment effort will attract
a large number of qualified applicants who will take the job if it is offered. So recruiting
is a process of discovering the potential candidates for actual organizational vacancies”.
Robert (2005), in his study titled, “Strategic HR Review, 2004”, states that successful
recruitment and selection can improve organization performance”.
17
Bowen, et al (1991), in his study examined “that integrated recruitment and selection
process helps recruiters to choose the candidates to fit the characteristics of an
organization culture”

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
21
Research Methodology:
This project is prepared with the help of theoretical knowledge as well as practical
knowledge & a crumb of advises & suggestions from the concerned professors. As far as
practical is concerned, all the information about the companies information available on
internet. The theoretical pert taken from the various books & magazines available on this
subject. And other recent happing in marketing is taken from magazines & news paper.
Overall this mission has been completed with the combination of all those things & it had
been with the best of my facts & information.
Research methodology refers to search for knowledge. Redman and Mory define research
as a “Systematized effort to gain new knowledge. Research is an academic activity and
such the term should be used in technical sense. According to Clifford Woody, Research
comprises defining and redefining problem, formulating hypothesis or suggested
solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and research
conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis.
Research is thus an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for
its advertisement. It is pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison
and experiment. In short the search for knowledge through objective and systematic
method of finding solution to problem is research.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A Research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in
a manner that aims to combine relevance to the Research purpose with economy in
procedure. In fact the Research design is the conceptual structure within which Research
is conducted: it constitutes the blueprint for the collection measurement and analysis of
data.
22
It must be able to define clearly what they want to measure and must find adequate
methods for measuring it along with a clear cut definition of population wants to study.
Since the aim is to obtain complete and accurate information in these studies, the
procedure to be used must be carefully planned. The research design must make enough
provision for protection against bias and must maximize reliability with due concern for
the economical completion of the search study.
Descriptive research is adopted for this study. It includes surveys and fact finding
enquires of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of
the state affairs as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this method is that the
researcher has no control over the variables. He can only report what has happened or
what is happened.
SAMPLING DESIGN
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame, it
refers to the technique or procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting some
sampling units from which interferences about the population is drawn. Sampling type
used is Simple Random sampling technique.
A decision has to be taken concerning sampling unit before selecting sample. The
population for this study includes the employees from Birla Corporation Limited, Satna.
100 employees were undertaken for the study.
DATA COLLECTION
For achieving the specific objectives of this study, data were gathered from both primary
and secondary sources.

CHAPTER-VI
DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
25
Data Analysis & Interpretation:
This chapter includes the primary data collected during the training period through the
observations and the analysis drawn by the interviewer through questionnaire. The
analysis of data was done on the basis of unit, age and number of years of
experience and factors. Analysis was done using the simple average method so
that, finding of the survey was easily comprehensible by all.
1. Employees were asked about the time period, for which they were employed, for
which following the responses were obtained.
INTREPRETAION:
Out of 60 employees who were asked about the time period for which they were
recruited, 80% of employees are recruited for long time period where as 10% of
employees are recruited only for particular projects.
26
2. Employees were asked whether they found any relations their qualifications and the
job offered to them, for which they responded in the following.
INTERPRETATION:
Out of 50 respondents who are asked whether they found any relation between
their qualification and the jobs offered to them, 80% of the respondents said that they
found a relation where as 20% of the respondents said that they did not find any relation.
27
3. CANDIDATES WILLINGNESS TO JOIN THE COMPANY
INTERPRETATION
From the chart it can be understood that most of the employees are inspired by the
working environment of the company which resembles the personal traits of the Indians. I
can also see that matters much followed reputation of the company and salary package
which comprised 11% and 16% respectively. Job prospect plays a minor role in the
minds of a candidate who had already joined the company. Location of the company
(which comprised 5% of the sample size) where majority of the employees are qualified
with technical who in most of the cases dare to bother it.
28
4. MOST RELIABLE TYPE OF INTERVIEWS
INTERPRETATION
From the above chart it is clear that out of 100 respondents, a maximum of 36%
employees said behavioral and structural is the reliable type of interview.
29
5. BEST WAY TO RECRUIT PEOPLE
INTERPRETATION
This chart shows that most of the peoples are recruited by advertisement that is 40%.
25% peoples are recruited by walk-in-interview. 20% peoples are recruited by variable
and only 15% peoples are recruited by search firms.
30
6. HOW CANDIDATES ARE RECRUITED IN THE COMPANY?
There are various ways of recruiting candidates in the company as depicted in the chart
below:
INTERPRETATION
From the chart it is quite clear that the company adopts various processes for recruiting
the right candidate. Actual recruitment procedure followed by the company is by
conducting written examination followed by interview which comprised 85% of my
sample survey of 36 employees. But still some candidates are also chosen through written
exam, GD& interview comprising only 6% and others comprising only 3%. These
‘others’ include the reference of the existing employees within the organization itself.
31
7. THE ATTITUDE OF H.R. MANAGER
INTERPRETATION
The chart below depicts that most of the employees are doing service as per my survey of
20 employees. Most of the employees are satisfied with the attitude of H.R. Manager.
13% says Good attitude, 30% says Very Good and 57% says the attitude of H.R.
Manager is excellent.
From the chart it is crystal clear that the attitude & working of H.R. Manager is whole
heartedly accepted to all the employees of the company. This will definitely boost the
morale of the employees, which ultimately will increase efficiency, & working of the
employees resulting in better growth of the company. Thus by every means company is
profitable. Moreover such behavior of H.R. Manager can become the ideal of their
colleagues & subordinates.
32
CHAPTER-VII
FINDINGS & SUGGESTIONS
33
FINDINGS:
Proper induction is not given to all the employees. It reserves to only a few levels.
Salary comparison is not justifies. Old employees are demoralized by getting less
surely then new employee.
Manpower’s are recruited from private placement consultancy, who are demanding
high amount of fees, where as HRD Department is not fully utilized to recruit
manpower by advertisement.
34
SUGGESTIONS
The suggestions and recommendations are made by the observed data with the
theoretical data, and also from the findings of the survey. During my tenure of
the summer training I studied a complete review of recruitment & selection
process in Birla Corporation Limited and I found that the system is efficient and
organized.
The outcome of the study illustrates that BIRLA has a good recruitment policy
where the employees are recruited by each department as per the requirement from
time to time. But there is still a scope for improvement of its recruitment policy.
The following are the suggestions which enable the company to enhance its recruitment
methodology.
The company should focus its attention more on campus interviews to attract
young potential employees who have the zeal to achieve goal for themselves and
the company.
The company needs to further focus on talent auditions and job fairs.
H.R Department should be more practical and efficient so that the recruitment
and selection become more effective
The company should follow new traits / trends in the recruitment process.
35
CHAPTER-VIII
LIMITATIONS
36
LIMITATIONS:
To study on recruitment and selection procedure at Birla corporation ltd. Involves the
study of all the division of Birla corporation due to time constrains the study was not
extended to recruitment.
Due to time constraints a discussions could not be held with other employees as to their
personnel level of satisfaction from recruitment and selection procedure and practices.
Also there is a lot of heavy bias attached with the responses because of personnel
experience. Hence, the inputs would vary greatly amongst them due to the difference in
level of authority experience.
The accuracy of the study is based on the information given by the respondents.
Data collected cannot be asserted to be free from errors because of bias on behalf
of the respondents.
37
CHAPTER-IX
CONCLUSION
38
Conclusion:
With the liberalization bringing in new talents and increased competition, recruitment has
taken strategic dimensions. The overall aim of the recruitment and selection process
should be obtain at minimum cost, the number and quality of employees required to
satisfy the human resource needs of the company.
It is evident from the study that organizations which have responded to the change in the
environment by reviewing its functions have attained success. In case of recruitment
through advertisement the candidates are screened via written test, which is outsourced to
an agency. This agency is broadly communicated about the requirements. The final
interview is held by the organization. The top management is involved in the recruitment
process. The evaluation process involves the assessment of all factors from education to
experience, mobility; the weightage differs depending upon the nature of the job.
Birla Corporation Ltd. also has taken lead to make its recruitment and selection procedure
more and more efficient.
This presents the summary of the study and survey done in relation to the Recruitment
and Selection in Birla Corporation Limited. The conclusion is drawn from the study and
survey of the company regarding the Recruitment and Selection process carried out there.
The source of recruitment in the organization is totally based in both the factors i.e.
internal and external. The recruitment of the prospective candidate for a particular post is
based in experience, age, qualification and percentage in the academic year. The selection
process is totally based on skills, communication and technical qualities.
