EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I had started my Summer Training Program at Skope Business Ventures Pvt.Ltd. This
is a Recruitment firm in Udyog Vihar Phase-4, Gurgaon, and Haryana. I have done
my Internship there for the two months. And got the Topic for my Project Report. The
Topic was given by the head of the Company person and as per my Mentors also. His
name is Ishita Chakroborty who really gives me great Confidence to do the work at
Skope.
She gives me relevant Company information for preparing my Project as well. She
tells me so many things that how I can pitch the JD to the Candidate so that I can
easily convince to them for the Interview regarding the Current job profile.
Here I want to discuss briefly about the Recruitment and Selection Process which I
have done earlier at the Skope.
Recruiting is the discovering of potential applicants for actual or anticipated
Organizational vacancies. It makes it possible to acquire the number and types
of people necessary to ensure the continued operation of the Organization.
In simple terms, it is an attempt to draw attention of applicants in the market,
get interested applicants, and generate a pool of prospective employees so that
management can select the right person for the right job.
The recruitment process is one of the most critical aspects of running a
successful business .Because every organization’s performance is largely
dependent on the quality of its workers.
The question comes into the mind that why I have chosen my topic as
“Recruitment and Selection Process”. Because as a HR and Marketing
professional in M.B.A this topic is covers all those aspects which really help
me for using my theoretical knowledge in Practical aspects.
5. 5
Being as an HR Executive it was really great challenges to recruit a person for
the job.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
23. 23
Recruitment can be broadly categorized under three heads. Namely, Direct method,
indirect method and Third party Recruitment method.
DIRECT METHOD:-
One of the widely used direct methods is that of sending of recruiters to colleges and
technical schools. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation with the placement
office of a college.
The placement office usually provides help in attraction students, arranging
interviews, furnishing space, and providing student resumes. For managerial
professional, and sales professional, campus recruiting is an extensive operation.
Persons reading for MBA or other technical diplomas are picked up in this manner.
Many companies have found employees contact with the public a very effective
method. Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars,
setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go to the desired centers.
Indirect method usually involves advertising in newspapers, on the radio, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and broachers. Advertising in newspapers
and magazines, is the most frequently used methods, when qualified or experienced
personnel are not available from other sources. Senior posts are largely filled by such
methods when they cannot be filled by promotion from within. Advertising is very
useful for recruiting blue-collars and hourly workers as well as scientific,
professional, and technical employees. Local newspapers can be a good source of
blue-collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level administrative employees.
THIRD PARTY METHOD:-
24. 24
These include the use of commercial of private employment agencies, placement
offices of schools colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms,
management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college for college
professors and friends and relatives.
PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:
They are the brokers who bring employers and employees together. The specialization
of these agencies enhances their capacities to interpret the needs of their client, toseek
Out particular. Types of persons, and to develop proficiency in recognizing the talent
of specialized personnel.
STATE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:
Also known as labor exchanges, they are the main agencies of public employment.
They provide a clearing housing for jobs and job information. These agencies provide
a wide range of services counseling, assistance in getting jobs information about labor
market, labor and wage rates.
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION OR RECRUITMENT FIRMS:
They maintain complete information records about employed executives. These firms
are looked up on as ‘headhunters’, ‘raiders’ and pirates by organizations which loose
personnel through their efforts. However, these same organizations may employ
“executive search firms” to help them find executive talent. These consulting firms
recommend persons of high caliber for managerial, marketing and production
engineer’s posts.
TRADE UNIONS:
25. 25
Also provide manual and skilled workers in sufficient numbers.
MODERN SOURCES AND TECHNIQUES OF RECURITMENT
A number of modern recruitment sources and techniques are being used by the
corporate in addition to traditional sources and techniques. These sources and
techniques include walk-in and consult–in, head-hunting, body-shopping, business
alliances, and tele-recruitment.
1. WALK-IN:
2. CONSULT-IN:

Recruitment Strategies:
Findings Overview Organizations were asked what strategies they use to recruit both
managerial/professional and non-management candidates. For recruiting
managerial/professional candidates, the Internet is the most popular advertising
Medium, used by 76 percent of the organizations surveyed. Organizations regularly
utilize internal resources (e.g., internal job postings and employee referrals) when
recruiting both internal and external candidates. Different kinds of agencies are used
to recruit for positions at different levels. — Temporary and government agencies are
used mainly to recruit non-management candidates. — Employment agencies,
colleges, and professional organizations are used more often to recruit
managerial/professional candidates.
28. 28
Organizational Offerings
The quality of an organization’s offerings affects its ability to attract job candidates.
Organizations believe they offer candidates a strong company reputation (69 percent)
and high-quality benefits packages (65 percent) and learning opportunities (55
percent). Many organizations do not offer stock options (37 percent) or child care
options.
Best Practices
Organizations with the most effective recruiting strategies were 15 to 19 percent more
likely to offer candidates high-quality options such as:
• Potential for advancement.
• Company reputation.
• Stocks.
• Benefits package.
• Corporate culture.
• Salary scale.
Organizations offering candidates and employees a positive culture (e.g., innovative,
diverse, potential to advance) and learning environment have more satisfied
employees and more successful at retaining them.
SELECTION PROCESS
“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.”
29. 29
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.
But what policies and practice do “good” applicants find attractive? Unfortunately,
there is no easy answer to this question because not all “good” applicants are alike,
and research shows that organization’s policies and the individual’s characteristics.
Financial considerations, supply and demand, and other variables impact the
recruitment process.
Looking for a qualified person for the IT department is likely to require a broader and
possibly more expensive search. Recruitment indicate that there is an increase in the
use of the internet and interactive employment websites, such as searching web
databases, placing online ads at various career sites, purchasing candidate information
from resume services, sending recruitment materials, to targeted individuals, and
placing ads in newspapers can all yield positive results.
Selection is the process in which candidates for employment are divided in two
classes-those application of these tools. Qualified applicants go on to the next hurdle,
while the unqualified are eliminated”. Thus, an effective selection Program is a non-
random process because those selected have been chosen on the bases of the
assumption that they are more likely to be “better” employees than those who have
been rejected.
30. 30
SELECTION PROCESS:
The organizations can make use of more than one source for carrying out the
recruitment procedure. Once the recruiting sources are identified, suitable candidates
are called for the selection process.
SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTION PROCESS:
31. 31
Definition:
It is the process of differentiation between applicants in order to identify (and hire)
those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. Selection of personnel to man the
organization is a crucial, complex and continuing function. The ability of an
organization to attain its goals effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment
largely depends upon the effectiveness of its selection program. If right personnel is
selected the remaining functions of personnel management becomes easier, the
employee contribution and commitment will be at an optimum level and employee-
employer relations will be congenial. In an opposite situation where the right person is
not selected, the remaining functions of personnel management, employee relations
will not be effective. If the right person is selected, he becomes a valuable asset to the
organization. In case of faulty selection, the employee will become a liability to the
organization.
Who are to be offered employment and those who are not. The process might be
called rejection, since more candidates may be turned away than hired. For this
reason, selection is frequently described as a negative process, in contrast with the
positive program of recruitment.
PRINCIPLES OF THE SCREENING:
A fair set of screening criteria
The criteria must be in line with the job content and appointment as well as advertised
requirements Applicants should be clear on the criteria that apply The criteria should
apply to all applicants in a consistent manner Any waivers should be fully motivated
and approved Declarations should be made of whether any candidate is related to or
friends of an official in the component where the vacancy exists The various activities
of the screening process should be documented and put on record
32. 32
INITIAL REVIEWING AND TESTING:
Education and Experience Evaluation
Letters Of Recommendation
Elf-Assessment.
Aptitude Andeneral Trait Test
Performance Test for Specific Jobs
Performance Test for Specific Jobs.
STEPS INVOLVED IN SELECTION PROCESS:
A scientific selection procedure completes in 10 basic steps which are as follows:
1. Application Form.
2. Written Examination.
3. Preliminary Interview.
4. Group Discussion.
5. Tests.
6. Final Interview.
7. Medical Examination.
8. Reference Checks.
9. Line Manager’s Decision, and
10. Employment.
TESTING IN SELECTION:
33. 33
Testing represents an additional tool in the kit of the employment office. It
supplements direct personal contracts in interviews of various types with a wide range
of tests. All operate on the general theory that human behavior can best be forecast by
Sampling it. The test creates a situation in which the applicant reacts; reactions are
regarded as useful samples of his behavior in the work he is applying.
Formal testing programs have becomes increasingly common in modern selection. A
major reason is their convenience. Another is their relatively low cost. Perhaps
unfortunately, test results appeal to many managers because they provide quantitative
measures of something. They ate, for this reason, more easily compared. They seem
to bring the personalities of applicants down to a common denominator. Another
reason for the growing use of tests is the fact that they have been and are the subject
of extensive research.
TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT TESTS:
A simple classification of the tests used in selection would distinguish five principal
types, including achievement, aptitude, interest, personality, and combination tests.
Achievement Tests: sample and measure the applicant’s accomplishments and
developed abilities. They are performance tests; they ask the applicant’s
Accomplishments and developed abilities. They are performances tests; they ask the
applicant to demonstrate certain knowledge skills.
APTITUDE TESTS:
Measures an applicant’s capacity, his potential. Their simples form is the intelligence
test, which is intended to measure the ability to learn, to remember, and to reason.
INTEREST TESTS:
34. 34
Use selected questions or items to identify patterns of interests-areas in which the
individual shoes special concern, fascination and involvement.
PERSONALITY TESTS:
Probe for the dominant qualities of the personality as a whole the combination of
aptitudes, interests, and usual mood and temperament. Whole the combination of
aptitudes, interests, and usual mood and temperament.
GUIDES TO TESTING:
1. Tests should be taken in addition to other selection techniques as entire can
only provide information about a part of total behavior of a candidate.
2. Test information should be taken into consideration to find out candidate’s
weakness rather than strength.
3. Tests are helpful in pocking a most likely successful group from a larger group
rather than successful individuals.
4. A test should be tested in one’s own organization as “a valid test in one that
measures.
5. Tests can be held only in case of failure of other selection devices in providing
satisfactory.
6. Test administrators should not heavily depend upon test score in making
decision regarding selection of a candidate.
35. 35
Relationship between tests score and job success is not always linear. Hence,
decision-makers should use the test score judiciously.
OUTCOMES OF SELECTION DECISION:
• Mainly four different types
• True positive
• True negative
• False positive error:
Results in cost for training, transfer or terminating the service of employee.
Costs of replacing an employee with a fresh one-hiring, training, and replacement.
• False negative error:
Costs associated difficult to estimate.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
• EXTERNAL
Supply and demand in labor market
Unemployment rate
Legal and political considerations
Company’s image
• INTERNAL
Company’s policy

CHALLENGES
Being a Management Trainee at Skope Business Ventures Pvt.Ltd.I has faced so
many Challenges there. Because doing Recruitment and Selection process are not
easy. So that at Training time I have faced some kind of the problem.
Let me discuss here some of the challenges, which I have faced earlier at Skope
Business Ventures Pvt.Ltd.
66. 66
Some time I have faced the problem while I was pitching to Candidate about
the Job Description of the Client Company.
At first time in Skope I have called the Placement Officer of the different
Colleges for the Campus Placement, they given me the positive response. But
at the end the Placement Officer any good feedback in terms of Campus
Placement.
In a day I had done something 25-35 call to the Candidate but at the end I
didn’t scheduled any Interview.
It was the bit difficult to Schedule the Interview at list 5 Candidate at a first
time at my Internship.
The challenges were also to call the stranger person who really I don’t know
personally.Beacause they having different set of mind.
The challenges were also about the checking the Communication skills and
work attitude of the Candidate. Checking whether they are comfortable for the
current requirement or not.
FINDINGS AND OBSERVATION
67. 67
The most significant finding of the study on Recruitment strategy prevailing in
the organization is very effective. The employees are quite satisfied with the
current recruitment methods.
The study shows that 76% of the employees who have put in long year of
service have recruited via open competition. This shows the transparency of
the recruiting policies of the company.
92% of the employees have been working in the organization for a long period
which signifies the job security and satisfaction offered by the company to its
employees.
Our study shows that 44% of the employees have joined this organization
aiming for career growth, good pay scales, and more benefits which the
company offers. Thus the statistics shows that the company has a positive
outlook towards the career growth of its employees in addition to the other
existing benefits.
The company’s approach to its recruitment policy shows that the right person
is very essential for the right job, as nearly 88% of the employees felt that they
were offered jobs according to their qualification and experience. Thus setting
a relationship between qualification and job offered.
The study shows that 72% of the employees were of the opinion that the
recruitment policy of the company is decentralized with each department
recruiting its own employees as per their requirement from the time to time.
68. 68
The company gives utmost importance to its manpower requirements by
identifying it well in advance taking into consideration the contingencies like
retirement, budgetary plans, and attrition rate. The planning of the manpower
requirement is being done in the light of the business plans of the company.
The company has been trying to infuse new blood in the organization by
appointing fresh graduates and technologists, to set a competitive so as to face
the competitive world.
69. 69
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAGGESTION
The outcome of the study illustrates that Skope Business Ventures Pvt.Ltd. 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 some of the suggestion which enables 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 can take up short-term projects with new technologies and fixed
deadlines to bring out competitiveness and cutting edge approach by the
employees. This enables the company to recruit the brightest and the best
manpower for the jobs.
The company needs to further focus on talent auditions and job fairs.
70. 70
Incentives and contest for employee referrals and the use of web based
resources such as job boards and job distribution services would go a long way
in enhancing the recruitment process.
H.R Department should be more practical and efficient so that the recruitment
and selection become more effective.
Stress should be given on proper maintenance of database of application for
future recruitment in the organization.
The company should follow new traits / trends in the recruitment process.
The stress should be given on knowledge and the experience should be the
major criteria for selection of employees.
More stress should be given to recruit qualification & skills percentage for
scrutinizing the application of prospective candidates
The organization cannot develop a recruitment strategy without
simultaneously formulating an employee retention plan. It is one thing to
attract workers, but quite another to retain them.
Company should also focus on the employee happiness, so that they can easily
achieve their target in terms of recruiting more and more qualitative
candidates.
71. 71
Here is one other suggestion for the Organization that Skope should focus on
making more and more Client Company. So that within end of every month
they can easily recruit a huge number of the Candidate.
.
CONCLUSION
The following are the conclusions:
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.
The formal interview is conducted by the HRD.
After selection the employees are inducted for 1-5 days or more than 15 days.
