EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As in case of any other functional area like marketing, production or finance, the work of personnel department has also to be planned. Planning in the personnel area is mainly concerned with crystallizing from where the right type of people can be secured for future anticipated vacancies. Manpower planning is the process by which management determines how the organization should move from its current manpower position to its desired manpower position. Through planning, management strives to have the right number and the right kinds of people, at the right places, at the right time, doing things, which result in the growth and success of both- the organization and the individual. The manpower planning is one of the basic steps in the recruitment and selection procedure. Recruitment and Selection is the process wherein the organisation finds the best candidate among the vast array of candidates. This project entitled "Recruitment and Selection in Dabur India Ltd (DIL)" aims at studying the recruitment and selection procedure undertaken at this ever growing organisation. The project gives a brief idea as to how the whole process works. Every organisation has different policies, at times unique and it is very rare that the policy of one organisation matches to the policies of another organisation. It is true that the success of any organisation depends upon the old dictum: right person for the right job. DIL has succeeded over hundred years because it still follows the basic dictum and is being guided by the vision and the age-old the principles which are followed religiously.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Page 9
In this section we consider three steps in an effective recruitment process: Step 1: Ensure an up-to-date job description Step 2: Develop an effective recruitment strategy Step 3: Evaluate the recruitment strategy.
A clear, accurate and up-to-date job description is crucial to ensuring a good person-job t. It is worthwhile spending some time making sure that the job description matches the everyday reality of the job.
Page 10
A job description contains two types of information: Specic tasks and activities required for a particular job (e.g., conduct counselling sessions, write client reports) The knowledge, skills and abilities required for effective performance by the job incumbent (e.g., good communication skills, capacity to establish good client rapport). The best person-job t may be achieved by focusing on the tasks and activities as well as the knowledge, skills and abilities of an effective performer. The accuracy of a job description is likely to be improved by gathering information from different sources. Different perspectives on the knowledge, skills, responsibilities, challenges and demands of a position are likely to be provided by supervisors and workers in the same or similar roles.
1. What knowledge, skills, abilities and other personal characteristics (KSAOs) are necessary for the position? 2. What KSAOs can be practically and reasonably expected? 3. What KSAOs are essential for effective job performance? 4. What KSAOs distinguish between good and poor performers on the job? It may also be useful to consider whether the organisation is willing to take on less experienced workers and provide professional development activities (in-house or external) to build up their knowledge and skills.
Two important issues to consider when developing a recruitment strategy are: The source of recruitment (i.e., advertisements, personal referrals,employment agencies, direct applications) The recruiter (i.e., the personal face of the organisation).
Page 11
The recruiter
A range of people within an organisation may be called upon to act as recruiters (i.e., to answer telephone enquiries, conduct interviews, etc.). A recruiter can have a signi cant impact on job applicants, particularly their interest in a position and their intention to accept a job offer.The supervisor for the position and coworkers are likely to be the most effective recruiters as they will be viewed as trustworthy and credible sources of information about a position and the organisation. There is also evidence to indicate that friendly and informative recruiters are associated with rmer intentions to accept job offers. An experienced recruiter who is familiar with the organisation can also be an important source of realistic and accurate information for candidates (i.e., providing a realistic job preview). Emphasising the positive aspects of a position is important in order to attract desired candidates. However, an unrealistically optimistic job description may create problems in the longer term if a new employees expectations are not met.
Periodically evaluating the effectiveness of your recruitment strategy, such as the type of sources used for recruiting, can be a useful activity. For instance, a cost-bene t analysis can be done in terms of the number of applicants referred, interviewed, selected, and hired. Comparing the effectiveness of applicants hired from varioussources in terms of job performance and absenteeism is also helpful. One could also examine the retention rates of workers who were hired from different sources.
Page 12
Information about a persons professional quali cations and experience can be obtained from their curriculum vitae (CV) / rsum and their written applications. This information needs to be veried as far as possible before the person is hired. When reviewing the CV / rsum and written application, look for items that may need further clarication such as: Unexplained gaps in employment history Ambiguous wording Unanswered or partly answered questions Inconsistent information Frequent job changes. Consider requesting job applicants to address speci c selection criteria (i.e., essential and desirable) for the job position. The onus is then on the applicant to summarise their work
Page 13
experience and qualications and present it in an accessible manner. This makes for a more efcient and time-saving process to nd relevant information about each applicant that matches the criteria for the job.
2.Conducting interviews In order to obtain the best person-job t (i.e., matching the right person for the right job), a structured interview format is recommended. A structured interview involves asking each candidate the same set of questions and assessing their responses on the basis of pre-determined criteria. The questions and assessment criteria are based on an accurate, updated job description.The more common types of structured interview questions are situational and experience-based. Situational questions Situational questions ask candidates about hypothetical scenarios that may be encountered in the job and how they would respond in that situation. The questions directly tap into the workrelated experience and problemsolving style of the candidate. Experience-based questions Experience-based questions focus on specic examples of the candidates prior work experiences and their responses to past situations that are relevant to the job in question. One advantage of experience-based questions is the opportunity to tap into actual behaviour and feelings rather than hypothetical ones. Developing criteria to assess candidates responses To effectively distinguish between candidates, it is recommended that structured questions are accompanied by a pre-determined scoring key. The scoring key should contain examples of excellent,good, average, and unsatisfactory answers against which candidates answers can be compared. Advantages of pre-determined scoring criteria include: Reduced reliance on interviewers memory or written notes Increased clarity regarding the criteria against which candidates are assessed (i.e., what is a good answer?)
Page 14
Consistency of assessment across candidates and between interviewers (if a panel is used).
Interview panels
It is recommended that an interview panel, rather than a single interviewer, is used. Using a panel of interviewers can help to minimise potential biases, as well as provide the opportunity to compare evaluations of the candidate before a nal decision is made.
Where appropriate, the panel should be representative of gender and professions. Representation on an interview panel can provide frontline workers / team members with an opportunity to participate in the recruitment and selection process.
Page 15
Make judgements according to specifc criteria based on the job description, rather than a global rating of suitability for the job. Control the course of the interview allow the applicant to talk freely but ensure that all objectives of the interview are met Ask standardised questions i.e., ask the same questions for all applicants. Adhere to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policies and procedures. Give candidates the option of receiving feedback on their performance in the interview (strengths and potential areas for improvement) at a later date.
3.Reference checks
It is recommended that only limited use is made of reference checks. The accuracy of reference checks has not been strongly supported in the research literature.Reference checks may be useful for identifying applicants who should not be recruited because of past employment problems (i.e., asking whether the person would be willing to rehire the candidate).Referees can also be used to check the accuracy of candidates description of their educational and work histories (i.e., work roles, responsibilities and achievements).It is important to recognise that only a small percentage of all reference checks are negative Therefore, it is often difcult to differentiate between candidates on the basis of reference checks alone.
Page 16
Recruitment practices should be based on a candidates knowledge, skills and abilities relevant to those specically required for the duties of the position. Such practices should be free from discrimination (adhering to legislation) and patronage (such as employing friends or jobs for the boys)..
Personality Test
The principle behind personality tests is that it is possible to quantify your personality characteristics by asking you about your feelings, thoughts and behavior. Personality has a significant role to play in deciding whether you have the enthusiasm and motivation that the employer is looking for and whether you going to fit in to the organization, in terms of your personality, attitude and general work style? Personality tests can be applied in a straightforward way at the early stages of selection to screen-out candidates who are likely to be unsuitable for the job.
Page 17
consists only of numerical questions or these may form part of a test which consists of questions of different types.
This will depend very much on the job you are applying for. For example, jobs that require you to handle figures on a day to day basis may have a higher proportion of numerical reasoning questions, whereas tests used for information technology jobs tend to have a higher proportion of abstract reasoningquestions.
You may be asked to answer the questions either on paper or using a PC or palm-top, as online testing is becoming increasingly popular. The advantage of online testing is that once the test is completed, an analysis of the results can be calculated straight away. This means that the organization can continue with the selection process with the results in hand rather than keep you waiting or send you home and call you back in at a later date. Another advantage is that you can take the test at a recruitment agency or even in your own home. Online testing is particularly suitable for initial screening as it is very cost-effective.
Which ever type of test you are given, the questions are almost always presented in multiplechoice format and have definite correct and incorrect answers. As you proceed through the test, the questions may become more difficult and you will usually find that there are more questions than you can comfortably complete in the time allowed. Very few people manage to finish these tests and the object is simply to give as many correct answers as you can.
Page 18
Your test score is then compared with the results of a control group which has taken the tests in the past. This control group could consist of other graduates, current job holders or a sample of the population as a whole. Your reasoning skills can then be assessed in relation to this control group and judgments made about your ability.
Remember, recruitment and selection tests are only part of the overall assessment procedure. Employers will use them alongside interviews, application forms, academic results and other selection methods, so your Your test result won't be the only information looked at.
Recruitment Policy
In todays rapidly changing business environment, a well defined recruitment policy is necessary for organizations to respond to its human resource requirements in time. Therefore, it is important to have a clear and concise recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to recruit the best talent pool for the selection of the right candidate at the right place quickly. Creating a suitable recruitment policy is the first step in the efficient hiring process. A clear and concise recruitment policy helps ensure a sound recruitment process. It specifies the objectives of recruitmentand provides a framework for implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up vacancies with best

qualified people.

Page 20
Companies are open for great talent; thereby employees with specialized skills and an experience in the respective domain have better options to choose as compared to generalist's .The candidates scoring high on experience, technical skills, along with good command of domain knowledge and excellent communication skills are the ones the companies are looking for in the recovery phase .Moreover companies have a preference for candidates that are working, reasoning that they must be the best of the best, if they survived cuts.
This to be a "reliable channel" to reach out to its potential employees Employers need to use their extensive contacts as companies are relying on referrals as compared to walk in
Page 21
interviews. When it comes to hiring, companies aren't putting ads for the vacancies for senior levels rather using the referrals of their existing employees for vacancies.
Social networking websites are no longer used for personal purposes but also for hiring, business marketing and promotions. This primarily includes much of senior-level hiring, and makes it easier for the hiring managers to target candidates with niche skills or for roles based in alien geographies.
During and post the recession the role of Human Resources during is to save money for the organization.The traditional methods of recruitment of on campus as well as walk in are time consuming and costly procedure , instead companies are preferring reputed institutes and on line job sites for recruitment.
5. Rehiring of ex-employees;
The employees that were laid off or shown pink slip during recession as company were downsizing due to slowdown are now being reconsidered and preferred upon new fresh recruits , as they are aware of company culture and policies.
Strategic initiatives on the part of the employer to increase the productivity and efficiency of the whole organization and redesign of the compensation scheme
Page 22
Many existing employees are waiting for the market to recover, in order to change employers, careers or industries. This is the time when they can come up to new challenging roles which they always desired, a shift from their previous roles which they opted due to lack of options during the slow down of the market. The present job in which they have working might be a compromise wherein they don't foresee growth, can now benefit from the post recession scenario and can go ahead with changing career path..
2. Raise or Promotion:
Employees plan to ask their bosses for a raise or promotion once the recovery is underway. As employers need to ensure their best employees remain with their firm when they're presented with other opportunities, the better salary packages and other benefits and perks will play a critical role in retaining their employees.
Job seekers are opting for strong and stable brands rather than those who are offering quick money. Companies with stable track record of growth and market share is being preferred over new establishments.
The job seekers need to ensure that they are adequately skilled and are abreast with the latest changes in the market. They job seekers need to acquire knowledge and special
Page 23
traits necessary to be successful. The innovation along with planning and problem solving skills is what they the need for their survival.
5. Increased competition :
Job seekers are facing competition not only from the fresh recruits but at the same time experienced workforce who is looking for change and those who have been laid off in the past due to recession. So job seekers need to face competition as result of more availability of candidates and less opportunities. RECENT CHANGES IN RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION 1. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Many scholars believe that technology will be the most notable HRM trend of the next few decades. Many large public organizations use computer bulletin boards and electronic mail to improve recruitment process Managers can have online access to applicants' test scores, qualifications and contact information Software programs: to administer online examinations, track applicants, match resumes with skill sets, expedite background checks, and shepherd job candidates through a paperless staffing process 2.OUTSOURCING
In India, the HR processes are being outsourced from more than a decade now. A company may draw required personnel from outsourcing firms. The outsourcing firms help the organisation by the initial screening of the candidates according to the needs of the organisation and creating a suitable pool of talent for the final selection by the organisation. Outsourcing firms develop their human resource pool by employing people
Page 24
for them and make available personnel to various companies as per their needs. In turn, the outsourcing firms or the intermediaries charge the organisations for their services.
Buying talent (rather than developing it) is the latest mantra being followed by the organisations today. Poaching means employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed company in the same or different industry; the organisation might be a competitor in the industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions, better than the current employer of the candidate. But it is seen as an unethical practice and not openly talked about. Indian software and the retail sector are the sectors facing the most severe brunt of poaching today. It has become a challenge for human resource managers to face and tackle poaching, as it weakens the competitive strength of the firm. 4.E-RECRUITMENT
Many big organizations use Internet as a source of recruitment. E-recruitment is the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place their CVs in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective employees depending upon their requirements.
Page 25
Low cost. No intermediaries Reduction in time for recruitment. Recruitment of right type of people and Efficiency of recruitment process.
In the last few years, the job market has undergone some fundamental changes in terms of technologies, sources of recruitment, competition in the market etc. In an already saturated job market, where the practices like poaching and raiding are gaining momentum.
HR professionals are constantly facing new challenges in one of their most important function-recruitment. They have to face and conquer various challenges to find the best candidates for their organisations.
Page 26
Adaptability to globalization The HR professionals are expected and required to keep in tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes taking place across the globe. HR should maintain the timeliness of the process
Lack of motivation Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job. Even if the organisation is achieving results, HR department or professionals are not thanked for recruiting the right employees and performers.
Process analysis The immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be flexible, adaptive and responsive to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be cost effective.
Strategic prioritization The emerging new systems are both an opportunity as well as a challenge for the HR professionals. Therefore, reviewing staffing needs and prioritizing the tasks to meet the changes in the market has become a challenge for the recruitment professionals.

The company maintains a databank of the candidates, which is used when the number of vacancies to be filled up is large. The sources of databank can be the qualified candidates who had applied in the organisation earlier but due to some reasons could not join the organisation. Advertisements are the second big source to attract the candidates. These are having much larger scope and reach to a number of people. The qualifications required by the organisation and the criteria could be described in detail. Large number of consultants also constitutes a big source. Many people register themselves with these consultants and they act as a bridge between the organization and the candidates. The consultants provide the company required details about all criteria.
Page 41
These consultants are fixed for the organisation, which are chosen on the basis of their performance. In case of overseas recruitment it is checked whether their Indian counterparts can perform the job efficiently or not. If need arises then they are also taken through consultants. But if the number of vacancies is very small then the organisation takes the help of the local consultants. The candidates are then required to fill up the Application Form. This form requires the candidate to fill the details regarding the previous employment, if any and his personal data. The form is having details regarding like the marital status, organisation structure, the position held by the candidate, his salary structure, the top three deliveries to the organisation that proved to be beneficial to the organisation, career goals, his strengths and weaknesses etc. After the application form has been duly filled and submitted, the selection process starts wherein the candidate has to pass through various stages and interview. The interview panel consists of the persons from Corporate (HR), and other persons including the executives from the department for which the vacancy is to be filled. The selected candidates are then short-listed. The short listed candidates are then given priority numbers; this is due to the reason that sometimes the candidate who is having first priority is unable to join the organisation due to some reasons then in that case the candidate next in the priority list is given preference. The candidate has to under go medical examination and his credentials are verified
After qualifying these stages, the candidate is then absorbed in the organisation and explained his/her duties. This phase marks the end of the selection procedure. Dabur India Ltd.also performs Campus interviews as and when the need arises.The esteemed organisation also provides apprentice training-wherein the organisation trains the people in the working of the organisation and gives thenstipend. If these trainees are found useful to the organisation then they are absorbed in the organisation else they are given certificate so that they can show this as an experience and get a job elsewhere
