INTRODUCTION
Human Resource Management is a process of bringing people and organizations together so that the goals of each are met. It tries to secure the best from people by winning their whole hearted cooperation. In short, it may be defined as the art of procuring, developing and maintaining component workforce to achieve the goals of an organization in an effective and efficient manner. The definition of Human Resource Management emphasizes the sphere of influence to encompass the strategic approach to manpower management in an organization. The process calls for a coherent objective to retain and increase employee head-count, any organizations most valued asset. This specialized study and application has come in the wake of realization that the employees of an organization, individually and collectively, are the main contributors to the achievement of business activities. The management of people hired by an organization involves employing people, designing and developing related resources and most importantly, utilizing and compensating their services to optimize business profitability via employee performance. Today, Human Resource Management operates in tune with other essential organizational requirements and co-exists with the topmost management cadre. Managing human resources within a company calls for a liaison between the organizations management personnel and the administration of the executive rungs. It thrives on the strength of the relationship between the management and workers of the company. Human Resource Management involves the development of a perfect blend between traditional administrative functions and the well-being of all employees within an organization. Employee relation ratio is directly proportionate to the manner in which the employees are treated, in return for their imparted skills and experience. A Human Resource Manager ideally empowers inter-departmental employee relationships and nurtures scope for down-the-rung employee communication at various levels .The field is a derivative of System Theory and Organizational Psychology.Human resource have earned a number of related interpretations in time, but continue
to defend the need to ensure employee well-being. Every organization now has an exclusive Human Resource Management Department to interact with representatives of all factors of production. The department is responsible for the development and application of ongoing research on strategic advances while hiring,terminating and training staff. The Human Resource Management Department is responsible for: Understanding and relating to employees as wel as individuals,thus identifying individual needs and career goals. Developing positive interactions between workers,to ensure collated and constructive enterprise productivity and development of a uniform organizational culture. Identify areas that suffer lack of knowledge and insufficient training and accordingly provide remedial measures in the form of workshops and seminars. Generate a rostrum for all employees to express their goals and provide the necessary resources to accomplish professional and personal agenda , essentially in that order. Innovate new operating practices to minimize risk and generate an overall sense of belonging and accountability. Recruiting the required workforce and making provisions for expressed and promised payroll and benefits. Implementing resource strategies to subsequently create and sustain competitive advantage. Empowerment of the organization, to successfully meet strategic goals by managing staff effectively .
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION Ask leaders what their biggest challenge is, and you get the same answer: finding,
attracting and keeping talented people. Ask talented people what their biggest career challenge is and you will hear the same refrain: finding good people to work with and to work for.
The human resources are the most important assets of an organization. The success or failure of an organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people working therein. Without positive and creative contributions from people, organizations cannot progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goals or the activities of an organization, therefore, they need to recruit people with requisite skills, qualifications and experience. While doing so, they have to keep the present as well as the future requirements of the organization in mind. Recruitment is distinct from Employment and Selection. Once the required number and kind of human resources are determined, the management has to find the places where the required human resources are/will be available and also find the means of attracting them towards the organization before selecting suitable candidates for jobs. All this process is generally known as recruitment. Some people use the term Recruitment for employment. These two are not one and the same. Recruitment is only one of the steps in the entire employment process. Some others use the term recruitment for selection. These are not the same either. Technically speaking, the function of recruitment precedes the selection function and it includes only finding, developing the sources of prospective employees and attracting them to apply for jobs in an organization, whereas the selection is the process of finding out the most suitable candidate to the job out of the candidates attracted (i.e., recruited).Formal definition of recruitment would give clear cut idea about the function of recruitment. Today, in every organisation personnel planning as an activity is necessary. It is an important part of an organisation. Human Resource Planning is a vital ingredient for the success of the organisation in the long run. There are certain ways that are to be followed by every organisation, which ensures that it has right number and kind of people, at the right place and right time, so that organisation can achieve its planned objective. The objectives of Human Resource Department are Human Resource Planning, Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Career planning, Transfer and Promotion, Risk Management, Performance Appraisal and so on. Each objective needs special attention and proper planning and implementation.
For every organisation it is important to have a right person on a right job. Recruitment and Selection plays a vital role in this situation. Shortage of skills and the use of new technology are putting considerable pressure on how employers go about Recruiting and Selecting staff. It is recommended to carry out a strategic analysis of Recruitment and Selection procedure. With reference to this context, this project is been prepared to put a light on Recruitment and Selection process. This project includes Meaning and Definition of Recruitment and Selection, Need and Purpose of Recruitment, Evaluation of Recruitment Process, Recruitment Tips. Sources of Recruitment through which an Organisation gets suitable application. Scientific Recruitment and Selection, which an Organisation should follow for, right manpower. Job Analysis, which gives an idea about the requirement of the job. Next is Selection process, which includes steps of Selection, Types of Test, Types of Interview, Common Interview Problems and their Solutions. Approaches to Selection, Scientific Selection Policy, Selection in India and problems Attracting new talent to the organization is a key task, especially when the talent in question is in short supply. Recruitment needs to take its place within the HR cycle as one strategy among others in a changing market place. Other strategies, such as developing current staff, should not be neglected in favor of external recruitment. Recruitment should ideally not be focused proactively on bringing into the organization the kind of skills and experience, which cannot easily be built from within. With too little external recruitment organizations processes and staff can start to stagnate. Conversely, if recruitment from outside is the only means by which senior positions are filled, internal candidates soon realize that they must leave the organization, if the want to be promoted. A well-designed recruitment process can attract good candidates and give the employer useful indications of future performance. Candidates are usually more positive about the organization if they can see a clear link between the recruitment process and job. Structured interviews, using behavioral and critical incident interviewing can be helpful as they allow specific job related areas. Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of personnel management. Recruitment precedes selection and helps in selecting a right candidate.
Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient personnel. Staffing is one basic function of management. All managers have responsibility of staffing function by selecting the chief executive and even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing responsibility when they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel manager and his personnel department is mainly concerned with the staffing function. Every organisation needs to look after recruitment and selection in the initial period and thereafter as and when additional manpower is required due to expansion and development of business activities.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
It has been found that consumers after consuming services are not again availing services Problem discovery and definition According to Malhotra and Birks (2003, p.31), problem definition can be defined the general problem and the identification of the specific components of the research problem. Parasuraman (1991) refer that is critical to define the problem in order to communicate it correctly to both decision - makers and researchers, however at the same time we should fully understand the scope and the nature of the problem avoiding any misconceptions. Research design The Research Design is the blueprint that enables the investigator to come up with solutions to these problems and guides him or her in the various stages of the research (Nachmias and Nachmias, 1996; Churchill, 1991). Research design involves different research techniques that we are going to use to get the information needed relevant to the problem, the measurement and scaling techniques for understanding the collected information, the questionnaire design etc (Lawley and Gardiner, 1999; Malhotra and Birks, 2003). Also Tull and Hawkins (1987) argue that one of important research designs goals is to maximize the accuracy of the gathered information to create a proper budget level. Research design can be broadly classified in some basic types. One useful classification is the one that is related with the main target of the research into three main categories which are: (i) Exploratory research, (ii) Descriptive research and (iii) Causal research (e.g. Churchill, 1979; Green and Tull, 1978).
DATA COLLECTION 1. PRIMARY DATA SOURCES Through interaction with customers Through questionnaires filled from the consumer.
2. SECONDARY DATA SOURCES: Through internet, various official sites of the companies. Through pamphlets and brochures of the companies. Journals & Magazine
PERIOD OF STUDY: 7 weeks SAMPLE SIZE: 35 SAMPLING DESIGN The sample of the research will be taken from the Rajhara Mine in C. G.. AREA OF STUDY: Rajhara Mine
TOOLS USED There are several methods of collecting primary data, particularly in surveys and descriptive researches. Important are: i. ii. iii. iv. Observation method Through questionnaires Through schedules Interview method
To know the response. I have used the questionnaire method in sample survey. If one wishes to find what people think or know, the logical procedure is to ask them. This has led marketing researchers to use the questionnaire technique for collecting data more than any other method. In this method questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and they were asked to answer questions in the questionnaire. The questionnaires were structured non-disguised questionnaire because the questions, which the questionnaire contained, were arranged in a specific order besides every question asked were logical for the study, no question can be termed as irrelevant. The questionnaire, were non-disguised because the questionnaire were constructed so that the objective is clear to the respondent. The respondents were aware of the objective. They knew why they were asked to fill the questionnaire.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
Recruitment is defined as, a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce. Edwin B. Flippo defined recruitment as the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. Recruitment is a linking function-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking It can also be defined as the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. Recruitment is only one of the steps in the entire employment process. It is generally followed by selection. It precedes the selection function and it includes only finding, developing the sources of prospective employees and attracting them to apply for the jobs in an organization, whereas the selection is the process of finding the most suitable candidate to the job out of the candidates attracted (i.e. recruited) Objectives: To attract people with multidimensional skills and experiences that suits the present and future organizational strategies.

This strategy is called Insourcing.Some organizations employ and develop the candidates with a view to provide the human resources to other companies which concentrate on manufacturing, servicing and such other activities. Vast and Fast Source: The fast developing IT industry and high technology oriented industry invariably require vast human resources within the short span of time. The best strategy to get vast human resources immediately is Internet.

Traditional sources of recruitment
The sources of recruitment are broadly divided into internal sources and external sources. Internal sources are sources within organizational pursuits. External sources are sources outside organizational pursuits. Internal sources: These sources include Present permanent employees .Present Temporary/Casual employees Retrenched or retired employees
Dependents of deceased, disabled, retired and present employees. 1.Present Permanent Employees: organizations consider the candidates from this source to higher
level jobs due to : availability of most suitable candidates for jobs relatively or equally to the external source, to meet the trade union demands and due to the policy of the organization to motivate the present employees. 2. Present Temporary/Casual Employees: organizations find the source to fill the vacancies relatively at the lower level owing to the availability of suitable candidates or trade union pressures or in order to motivate them on the present job. 3.Retrenched or Retired Employees: Generally, a particular organization retrenches the employees due to lack of work. The organization takes the candidates for employment from the retrenched
employees due to obligation, trade union pressure and the like. Sometimes, the organizations prefer to re-employee their retired employees as a token of their loyalty to the organization or to postpone some interpersonal conflicts for promotion etc.
4.Dependents of Deceased, Disabled, Retired and Present Employees: Some organizations function
with a view to develop in the commitment and loyalty of not only employee but also his family members and to build up image and provide employment to the dependent(s) of deceased, disabled, retired employees. Such organizations find this source as an effective source of recruitment.
External Sources:
External sources include Campus Recruitment Private Employment Agencies/Consultants Public Employment Agencies Professional Associations Data Banks Casual Applicants Similar Organizations and Trade Unions 1.Campus Recruitment: Different types of organizations like industries, business firms, service organizations, social or religious organizations can get inexperienced candidates of different types from various educational institutions like colleges and universities imparting education in Science, Commerce, Arts, Engineering and Technology, Medicine, Management studies etc. 2.Private Employment Agencies/Consultants: Private Employment Agencies or Consultants like ABC consultants in India perform recruitment functions on behalf of a client company by charging fees. Line managers are relieved from recruitment functions so that they can concentrate on their operational activities and recruitment functions are entrusted to a private agency or consultants.
3.Public Employment Exchanges: The government set up Public Employment Exchanges in the country to provide information about vacancies to the candidates and to help the organizations in finding out suitable candidates. 4. Professional Organizations: Professional Organizations maintain complete biodata of their members and provide the same to various organizations on requisition. They also act as an exchange between their members and recruiting firms in exchanging information, clarifying doubts etc. Organizations find this source more useful to recruit the experienced and professional employees like executives, managers, and engineers. 5. Data Banks: The management can collect the biodata of the candidates from different sources like employment exchange, educational training institutes, candidates etc. and feed them in the computer. 6.Casual Applicants: Depending upon the image of the organization, its prompt response, participation of the organization in the local activities, level of unemployment, candidates apply casually for jobs through mail or handover the applications in the personnel department. This would be a suitable source for temporary and lower level jobs. 7. Similar Organizations: Generally, experienced candidates are available in the organizations producing similar products or are engaged in similar business. This would be the most effective source for executive positions and for newly established organizations or expanded organizations. 8.Trade Unions: Generally, unemployed or under employed persons or employees seeking change in employment put a word to the trade union leaders with a view to getting suitable employment due to latters intimacy with the management. Management decides about the sources depending upon the type of candidates needed, time lapse period etc. It has to select the recruitment technique(s) after deciding upon the source. Modern Sources of Recruitment These include Walk in and consultant in, head hunting, body shaping, mergers and acquisitions, telerecruitment and outsourcing.
1. Walk-In: The busy organizations and the rapid changing companies do not find time to perform various functions of recruitment. Therefore, they advise the potential candidates to attend for an interview directly and without a prior application on a specific date, time and at a specified place. The suitable candidates from among the interviews will be selected for appointment after screening the candidates through tests and interviews. 2. Consult-In: The busy and dynamic companies encourage the potential job seekers to approach them personally and consult them regarding the jobs. The companies suitable candidates from among such candidates through the selection process. 3. Head-Hunting: The companies request the professional organizations to search for the best candidates particularly for the senior executive positions. The professional organizations search for the most suitable candidates and advise the company regarding the filling up of the positions. Headhunters are also called search-consultants. 4. Body Shaping: Professional organizations and the hi-tech training institutes develop the pool of human resources for the possible employment. The prospective employers contact these organizations to recruit the candidates. Otherwise the organizations themselves approach prospective employers to place their human resources. These professional and training institutions are called body shoppers and these activities are known as body shopping. This is mostly used for computer professionals. 5. Mergers and Acquisitions: Business alliances like acquisitions, Mergers, and take-over help in getting human resources. In addition companies do also have alliances in sharing their human resources on adhoc basis. 6. E-Recruitment: The technological revolution in telecommunications helped the organizations to use Internet as a source of recruitment. Organizations advertise the job vacancies through the www. The job seekers send their applications through the email using Internet. 7. Outsourcing: Some organizations recently started developing human resource pool by employing the candidates for themselves. These organizations do not utilize the human resources; instead they supply HRs to various companies based on their needs on temporary or adhoc basis. select
RECRUITMENT TECHNIQUES
Recruitment techniques are the means or media by which management contacts stimulate them to apply for jobs. Management uses different types of techniques to stimulate internal and external candidates. These techniques are classified as traditional techniques and modern techniques. Traditional Techniques include:
Promotions: Most of the internal candidates would be stimulated to take up higher
responsibilities and express their willingness to be engaged in the higher-level jobs if the management gives them the assurance that they will be promoted to the next higher level.
Transfers: Employees will be stimulated to work in the new sections or places if the
management wishes to transfer them to places of their choice.

Advertising: It is widely accepted technique of recruitment, though it mostly provides one-
way communication. It provides the candidates in different sources, the information about the job and company and stimulates them to apply for the jobs. It includes advertising through different media like newspapers, magazines of all kinds, radio, TV etc. This technique should aim at: Attracting attention of the prospective candidates. Creating and maintaining interest and Stimulating action by the candidates. Modern Techniques:
Scouting: It means sending the representation of the organizations to various sources of
recruitment with a view to persuading or stimulating the candidates to apply for jobs. The representatives provide information about the company and exchange information and the clarify the doubts of the candidates.
Salary and Perks: Companies stimulate the prospective candidates by offering higher-level
salary, more perks, quick promotions etc.
ESOPs: Companies recently started stimulating the employees by offering stock ownership to
the employees through their Employees Stock Ownership Programmes (ESOPs).
SUB-SYSTEMS OF RECRUITMENT :
The recruitment process consists of the following four sub-functions:-
Finding out and developing the sources where the required number
and kind of employees will be available. . Stimulating as many candidates as possible and asking them to apply for jobs irrespective of the number of candidates required. Management has to attract more candidates in order to increase the selection ratio so that the most suitable candidate can be selected out of the total candidates available. Recruitment is positive as it aims at increasing the number of applicants and selection is somewhat negative as it selects the suitable candidates in which process; the unsuitable candidates are automatically eliminated. Though, the function of recruitment seems to be easy, a number of factors make performance of recruitment a complex one. Developing suitable techniques to attract the desirable candidates.
Employing the techniques to attract candidates
FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT :

The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment:-
1) INTERNAL FACTORS Recruiting Temporary Recruitment Engagement Companys Cost Companys growth and expansion of of and of the part-time local company in policy employees citizens HRP size recruitment
2) EXTERNAL FACTORS Supply and Demand factors Unemployment Rate Labour-market conditions Political and legal considerations Social factors Economic factors Technological factors
CONSTRAINTS
If a firm has a poor image in the market, many of the prospective candidates may not even apply for vacancies advertised by the firm. If the job is not attractive, qualified people may not even apply. Any job that is viewed as boring, hazardous, anxiety producing, low-paying, or lacking in promotion potential seldom will attract a qualified pool of applicants. Recruiting efforts require money. Sometimes because of limited resources, organizations may not like to carry on the recruiting efforts for long periods of time, this can, ultimately, constrain a recruiters effort to attract the best person for the job. Government policies often come in the way of recruiting people as per the rules of the company or on the basis of merit/seniority, etc. For example, reservations to specific groups (such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward castes, physically handicapped and disabled persons, ex-servicemen, etc.) have to be observed as per constitutional provisions while filling up vacancies in government corporations, departmental undertakings, local bodies, quasi-government organizations, etc.
RECRUITMENT POLICY
Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy of the same organization. In other words the former is a part of the latter. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into consideration the governments reservation policy, policy regarding sons of soil, etc., personnel policies of other organizations regarding merit, internal sources, social responsibility in absorbing minority sections, women, etc. Recruitment policy should commit itself to the organisations personnel policy like enriching the organisations human resources or servicing the community by absorbing the retrenched or laid-off employees or casual/temporary employees or dependents of present/former employees, etc.The following factors should be taken into consideration in formulating recruitment policy. They are: Government policies
Personnel policies of other competing organizations Organisations personnel policies Recruitment sources
. .

Recruitment needs Recruitment cost Selection criteria and preference.
IMPACT OF PERSONNEL POLICIES ON RECRUITMENT POLICIES:

Recruitment policies are mostly drawn from personnel policies of the organization. According to Dale Yodar and Paul D. Standohar, general personnel policies provide a wide variety of guidelines to be spelt out in recruitment policy. After formulation of the recruitment policies, the management has to decide whether to centralize or decentralize the management has to decide whether to centralize or decentralize the recruitment function.
CENTRALISED V/s DECENTRALISED RECRUITMENT

Recruitment practices vary from one organization to another. Some organizations like commercial banks resort to centralized recruitment while some organizations like the Indian Railway resort to decentralized recruitment practices. Personnel department at the central office performs all the functions of recruitment in case of centralised recruitment and personnel .
MERITS OF CENTRALISED RECRUITMENT
Average cost of recruitment per candidate/unit should be relatively It would have more expertise available to it.
less due to economies of scale. It can ensure broad uniformity among human resources of various units/zones in respect of education, skill, knowledge, talent, etc. It would generally be above malpractices, abuse of powers, favouritism, bias, etc. It would facilitate interchangeability of staff among various units/zones. It enables the line managers of various units and zones to concentrate on their operational activities by relieving them from the recruiting functions. It enables the organization to have centralised selection procedure, promotional and transfer procedure, etc. It ensures the most effective and suitable placement to candidates. It enables centralised training programmes which further brings uniformity and minimizes average cost of staff.
MERITS OF DECENTRALISED RECRUITMENT

The unit concerned concentrates only on those sources/places wherein
normally gets the suitable candidates. As such the cost of recruitment would be relatively less. The unit gets most suitable candidates as it is well aware of the requirements of the job regarding culture, traditional, family background aspects, local factors, social factors, etc. Units can recruit candidates as and when they are required without any delay.
The units would enjoy freedom in finding out, developing the sources, The unit would relatively enjoy advantage about the availability of
in selecting and employing the techniques to stimulate the candidates. information, control and feedback and various functions/processes ofuitmentrec The unit would enjoy better familiarity and control over the employees it recruits rather than on employees selected by the central recruitment agency. Both the systems of recruitment would suffer from their own demerits. Hence, the management has to weigh both the merits and demerits of each system before making a final decision about centralizing or decentralizing the recruitment. Alternatively management may decentralize the recruitment of certain categories of employees preferably middle and top level managerial personnel and centralize the recruitment of other categories of employees preferably lower level positions in view of the nature of the jobs and suitability of those systems for those categories of positions. The management has to find out and develop the sources of recruitment after deciding upon centralizing or decentralizing the recruitment function.
SELECTION
The selection procedure is the system of functions and devices adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidates specifications are matched with the job specifications and requirements or not. Selection is the process of finding out the most suitable candidate to the job out of the candidates recruited. The selection procedure cannot be effective until and unless 1. Requirements of the job to be filled have been clearly specified (Job Analysis etc.).
2. Employee Specifications (physical, mental, social behavioral etc.) have been clearly specified. 3. Candidates for screening have been attracted. Significance of selection process: The ability of an organization is to attain its goals effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends upon the effectiveness of its selection programme. If right personnel are selected, the remaining functions of Personnel Management become easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at an optimum level and employee-employer relations will be congenial.

Personal background information ii. Educational attainments iii. Work experiences iv. Salary v. Personal details vi. References Written Examination: The organizations have to conduct written examination for the qualified candidates after they are screened on the basis of the application blanks so as to measure the candidates ability in arithmetical calculations, to know the candidates attitude towards the job, to measure the candidates aptitude, reasoning, communication, knowledge in various disciplines. Preliminary Interviews: The preliminary interview is to solicit necessary information from the prospective applicants and to assess the applicants suitability to the job. It is useful as a process of eliminating the undesirable and unsuitable candidates. They are short and known as stand-up interviews or screening interviews. Test: Psychological tests play a vital role in employee selection. A Psychological test is essentially an objective and standardized measure of sample behavior from which inferences about future behavior and performance of the candidate can be drawn.
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. An excellent illustration of this is the typing tests given to a prospective employer for secretarial job. Also called as ACHEIVEMENT TESTS. It is concerned with what 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 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 persons 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 persons sensory or intellectual ability.

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 persons
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 individuals 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 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).

A slant to the right, moderate pressure and good legibility show leadership potential.
10). Polygraph Test:

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 candidates physical resilience upon exposure to hazardous chemicals.
Interview: Final interview is usually followed by testing. This is the most essential step in the process of selection. In this step, the interviewer matches the information obtained about the candidate through various means to the job requirements and to the information obtain through his own observation during the interview.
Objectives of interview: Interview has at least three objectives and they are a follows: 1) Helps obtain additional information from the applicants 2) Facilitates giving general information to the applicants such as company policies, job, products manufactured and the like 3) Helps build the companys image among the applicants. Types of interview:Interviews can be of different types. There interviews employed by the companies. Following are the various types of interview: 1)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 like name, place of birth, names of relatives etc. either in their respective offices or anywhere outside the plant of company. It iS not
planned and nobody prepares for it. This is used widely when the labour market is tight and when you need workers badly. 2)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.
3)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 interviewers question. But the interviewer must be of higher caliber and must guide and relate the information given by the applicant to the objective of the interview.
4)Depth Interview:
It is designed to intensely examine the candidates 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.
5)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 behaviour of individuals when they are faced with disagreeable and trying situations.
6)Group Interview:
It is designed to save busy executives time and to see how the candidates may be brought together in the employment office and they may be interviewed.
7)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 judgment and wisdom of the panel in the assessment of the candidate and also in questioning the faculties of the candidate.
8)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 interviewer can ask questions in relation to his or her subject area of each candidate, as the candidate moves from room to room .
9)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
10) 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 applicants 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.
11)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.
Telephone Interviews:
Have a copy of your resume and any points you want to remember to say nearby. If you are on your home telephone, make sure that all roommates or family members are aware of the interview (no loud stereos, barking dogs etc.). Speak a bit slower than usual. It is crucial that you convey your enthusiasm verbally, since the interviewer cannot see your face. If there are pauses, do not worry; the interviewer is likely just taking some notes.
Medical Examination: Certain jobs require certain physical qualities like clear vision, perfect not a candidate possesses these qualities.
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 undertaking work that could be detrimental to them or might otherwise endanger the employers 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.
hearing,
unusual stamina, tolerance of hard working conditions, clear tone etc. It reveals whether or
Reference Check:
After completion of the final interview and medical examination, the personnel department engages in checking references. Candidates are required to give the names of references in their application forms. Many employers request names, addresses, and telephone numbers of references for the
purpose of verifying information and perhaps, gaining additional background information on an applicant. Although listed on the application form, references are not usually checked until an applicant has successfully reached the fourth stage of a sequential selection process. When the labour market is very tight, organisations sometimes hire applicants before checking references. Previous employers, known as public figures, university professors, neighbours or friends can act as references. Previous employers are preferable because they are already aware of the applicants performance. But, the problem with this reference is the tendency on the part of the previous employers to over-rate the applicants performance just to get rid of the person. Organisations normally seek letters of reference or telephone references. The latter is advantageous because of its accuracy and low cost. The telephone reference also has the advantage of soliciting
Final decision by the Line manager: He has to make the final decision whether to select or reject a candidate after soliciting the required information through different techniques. The line manager has to make much care in taking the final decision not only because of economic implications and of the decisions but also because of behavioral and social implications. 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.
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 employees 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. Employment: The company may modify the terms and conditions of employment as requested by the candidate. The company employs those candidates who accept the job offer with or without modification of terms and conditions of employment and place them on the job. EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROGRAMME: The broad test of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of the personnel hired. An organisation 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 organizations 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, such organisations are uncommon

LIMITATIONS
In understanding the study some problems were encountered such as: 1) The scope was limited to middle and senior management only. 2) The respondents were not readily available and data was collected as per the convenience of the respondents. 3) Some of the responses received have the influence of the organization. 4) There was delay in getting the data, as they were busy in their 5) The study has been constrained by limitations of time. 6) The sample size is nominal to that point work.
SUGGESTIONS
There are many innovative ways of generating the resources like E-paper, road shows, campus recruitment, job melas etc. The better services that could be provided to the clients are end-to-end recruitment, co ordination, HR Outsourcing, Employee leasing. The SLA s (Service Level Agreements) could be met better with the help of infrastructure, training manpower. Focus could be put on imparting training to the facilitators on aspects of screening, interview process, operational fitment and organizational fitment. The current Recruitment and Selection process has to be strengthened by setting up a comparative high standard from the one that currently exists for the selection process. Each of the consultants should not only have expertise in any given field of recruitment, but also should have sound knowledge of other sectors of recruitment as expertise will lead to perfection in that particular field and sound knowledge will help when there are heavy walkin-interview schedules.
CONCLUSION
Human Resource Management operates in tune with other essential organizational requirements and co-exists with the topmost management cadre.Managing human resources within a company calls for a liaison between the organizations management personnel and the administration of the executive rungs.It thrives on the strength of the relationship between the management and workers of the company. Advisors have existed since the beginning of time--often providing advice based on subjective opinions absent of any structure, facts, expertise or relevant experience. Unfortunately there continue to be many people who are quite capable of expressing an opinion on something for which they know nothing about. Charisma and self confidence, after all, can go a long way! Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting at present is one of the best placement consultancies when compared to others in the same field. The recruitment and selection process at Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting is systematic and planned. Proper care of the clients and candidates is being taken at Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting. Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting has a very committed and dedicated HR team, which is the main reason of its success. The methods used by Bhilai Steel Plant for the collection of the database are systematic and appropriate. Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting is India's largest multi interest consulting and business Services Corporation engaging a variety of organizations, institutions and enterprises in diverse industry and government verticals. We strive to deliver significant advantages and value to our clients and partners through innovative services and flexible solutions Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting's core competency remains its people. The teams that make up Bhilai Steel Plant's project work forces worldwide comprise of individuals who have developed competencies in specific industries. These competencies enable clients to benefit from the accumulated knowledge base of Bhilai Steel Plant. Bhilai Steel Plant's consulting services are utilized by a number of the Fortune 500 organizations.Bhilai Steel Plant is now one of the leading
consulting firms of the world, continuously assisting its clients in improving performance beyond benchmarks. Bhilai Steel Plant Consulting was started in 1996 by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri of IIPM, and has now grown to become Indias largest multi-interest consulting and business Services Corporation. As a firm it has witnessed superlative growth within a short span of time & has been enriched by the experience of having serviced Fortune 500 clients. Recruiting people who are wrong for the organisation can lead to increased labour turnover, increased costs for the organisation, and lowering of morale in the existing workforce. Such people are likely to be discontented, unlikely to give of their best, and end up leaving voluntarily or involuntarily when their unsuitability becomes evident. They will not offer the flexibility and commitment that many organisations seek. Managers and supervisors will have to spend extra time on further recruitment exercises, when what is needed in the first place is a systematic process to assess the role to be filled, and the type of skills and abilities needed to fill it. Most recruitment systems will be simple, with stages that can be followed as a routine whenever there is a vacancy to be filled, and which can be monitored and adapted in the light of experience. A study has been done on RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION in BHILAI STEEL PLANT . The total population of Bhilai Steel Plant is 150 and the sample size is 35 . questionnaire were circulated to all the 35 employees out of which 57 responded. The forms were sent to the departments, distributed and were filled out by the employees and then finally collected. From above study we can say like palnman need to improve in all the matters which satisfy the employees and creat a friendly atmosphere. Thus recruitment and selection keeps good will of the organization and helps ultimately to retain the employees and reach the organizational goals and objectives.
