 PREFACE

Human resource is an important corporate asset and the overall performance of company
depends on the way it is put to use. In order to realize company objectives, it is essential to
recruit people with requisite skills, qualification and experience. While doing so we need to
keep present and future requirements of company in mind.

Successful recruitment methods include a thorough analysis of the job and the labour market
conditions. Recruitment is almost central to any management process and failure in
recruitment can create difficulties for any company including an adverse effect on its
profitability and inappropriate levels of staffing or skills. Inadequate recruitment can lead to
labour shortages, or problems in management decision making.

Recruitment is however not just a simple selection process but also requires management
decision making and extensive planning to employ the most suitable manpower. Competition
among business organisations for recruiting the best potential has increased focus on
innovation, and management decision making and the selectors aim to recruit only the best
candidates who would suit the corporate culture, ethics and climate specific to the
organisation.

The process of recruitment does not however end with application and selection of the right
people but involves maintaining and retaining the employees chosen. Despite a well drawn
plan on recruitment and selection and involvement of qualified management team,
recruitment processes followed by companies can face significant obstacles in
implementation. Theories of HRM may provide insights on the best approaches to
recruitment although companies will have to use their in house management skills to apply
generic theories within specific organizational contexts.

 PROJECT OVERVIEW

Rigorous sourcing was undertaken to understand the recruitment process. Candidates were
interviewed and then potential candidates were shortlisted. During the tenure of the project I
learnt to put the candidates under assessment tests and took the initial rounds of interview.
Job Portals used by me for the recruitment of candidates through MONSTER and
NAUKRI.COM

The whole process of recruitment from a recruitment firm like Denave is a very exhausting
one. It is detail oriented in nature. The reason why every employee gets motivated to do the
job is because of the knowledge that at that particular moment that particular recruiter was
responsible for giving job to these candidates. To generate employment is one thing but to
recruit the right kind of workforce for a job is another thing. It not only needs the basic
understanding of the client company’s need to fill the position in a period of time but it also
requires the recruiter to be sensitive of the needs of the candidate to find the right job for
himself. All this needs a great profundity of intellect.

During my tenure at Denave, I learnt to work as professional. The one thing that got
profoundly clear is that text books do not help in the actual corporate world. There are
unwritten policies and standard operating procedures that each employee has to abide to. No
matter what, profit maximization is the core purpose of the existence of every business.
Meeting targets on your level dedicatedly is your contribution to the revenue generation of
the company.

RECRUITMENT
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

9
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.” In simple words recruitment can
be defined as a ‘linking function’-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking
jobs.

PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE

The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job

candidates. Specifically, the purposes and needs are:

 Determine the present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with
its personnel-planning and job-analysis activities.
 Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.
 Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of
visibly, under qualified or overqualified job applicants.
 Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave
the organization only after a short period of time.
 Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate
candidates.
 Induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the company.
 Infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization.
 Develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company.
 Search for talent globally and not just within the company.

FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT

The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment: -

1. INTERNAL FACTORS

 Recruiting policy
 Temporary and part-time employees

10
  Recruitment of local citizens
 Engagement of the company in HRP
 Company’s size
 Cost of recruitment
 Company’s growth and expansion

2) EXTERNAL FACTORS

 Supply and Demand factors

 Unemployment Rate
 Labour-market conditions
 Political and legal considerations
 Social factors
 Economic factors
 Technological factors

THEORIES AND POLICIES OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Theories:

1. Objective theory

1) Assumes applicants use a very rational method for making decisions

2) Thus, the more information you can give them (e.g. salaries, benefits, working condition,
etc), the better applicants weight these factors to arrive at a relative “desirability” index

2. Subjective theory

1) Assumes applicants are not rational, but respond to social or psychological needs (e.g.
security, achievement, affiliation)
2) Thus, play to these needs by highlighting job security or opportunities for promotion or
collegiality of work group, etc.

11
3. Critical Contact theory

1) Assumes key attractor is quality of contact with the recruiter or recruiter behavior, e.g.
(promptness, warmth, follow-up calls, sincerity, etc.)
2) Research indicates that more recruiter contact enhances acceptance of offer, also
experienced recruiter (e.g. middle-aged) more successful than young or inexperienced
recruiter - may be especially important when recruiting ethnic minorities, women, etc.

Policies:

Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy of the same
organization. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into consideration the
government’s 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.

Specific issues which may be addressed in Recruitment Policy:

1) Statement : Nondiscrimination (EEO employer) or particular protected class members

that may be sought for different positions (see also Affirmative Action guidelines)

2) Position description: Adherence to job description (& qualifications) in recruitment &

selection -BFOQ’s -bonafide occupational qualifications

3) How to handle special personnel in recruitment/selection: e.g. relatives (nepotism)

veterans (any special advancement toward retirement for military experience?), rehires
(special consideration? vacation days or other prior benefits?), part-time or temporary
personnel (special consideration? benefits?)

4) Recruitment budget/expenses: what is covered? Travel, Lodging/meals, Staff travel to

recruit, relocation, expenses, etc.
5) Others:

12
 a. Residency requirement in district?
b. Favors, special considerations related to recruitment? - e.g. get spouse a job?

INDUCEMENTS TO RECRUITMENT

Organisational inducements are all the positive features and benefits offered by an
organization that serves to attract job applicants to the organisation. Three inducements need
specific mention here, they are:-

 Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases, incentives and fringe

benefits can all serve as inducements to potential employees.

 Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow personally and
professionally and also attract good people to the organization. The feeling that the
company takes care of employee career aspirations serves as a powerful inducements
to potential employees.

 Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organisation’s reputation include its

general treatment of employees, the nature and quality of its products and services and
its participation in worthwhile social endeavors.

CONSTRAINTS

 Poor image: If the image of the firm is perceived to be low( due to factors like
operation in the declining industry, poor quality products, nepotism etc), the
likelihood of attracting large number of qualified applicants is reduced.
 Unattractive jobs: if the job to be filled is not very attractive, most prospective
candidates may turn indifferent and may not even apply. This is especially true of job
that is boring, anxiety producing, devoid of career growth opportunities and generally
not reward performance in a proper way( eg jobs in post office and railways).

13
  Government policy: Government policies often come in the way of recruitment as per
the rules of company or on the basis of merit and seniority. Policies like reservations
(scheduled castes, scheduled tribe etc) have to be observed.
 Conservative internal policies: Firms which go for internal recruitments or where
labour unions are very active, face hindrances in recruitment and selection planning.

RECRUITMENT- Relationship with other activities

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 departments at unit level/zonal level perform all the functions of recruitment
concerning to the jobs of the respective unit or zone.

14
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
The sources of recruitment may be broadly divided into two categories: internal sources and
external sources. Both have their own merits and demerits.

Internal Sources:-

Persons who are already working in an organization constitute the ‘internal sources’.
Retrenched employees, retired employees, dependents of deceased employees may also
constitute the internal sources. Whenever any vacancy arises, someone from within the
organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted or even demoted.

External Sources

External sources lie outside an organization. Here the organization can have the services of:
(a) Employees working in other organizations; (b) Jobs aspirants registered with employment
exchanges; (c) Students from reputed educational institutions; (d) Candidates referred by
unions, friends, relatives and existing employees; (e) Candidates forwarded by search firms
and contractors; (f) Candidates responding to the advertisements, issued by the organization;
and (g) Unsolicited applications/ walk-ins.

thus:

rewards, etc.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
Internal Methods:
1. Promotions and Transfers

This is a method of filling vacancies from internal resources of the company to achieve
optimum utilization of a staff member's skills and talents. Transfer is the permanent lateral
movement of an employee from one position to another position in the same or another job
class assigned to usually same salary range. Promotion, on the other hand is the permanent
movement of a staff member from a position in one job class to a position in another job class
of increased responsibility or complexity of duties and in a higher salary range.

Job Posting:

Job Posting is an arrangement in which a firm internally posts a list of open positions (with
their descriptions and requirements) so that the existing employees who wish to move to
different functional areas may apply. It is also known as Job bidding. It helps the qualified
employees working in the organization to scale new heights, instead of looking for better

17
 perspectives outside. It also helps organization to retain its experienced and promising
employees.

Employee Referral:

It is a recruitment method in which the current employees are encouraged and rewarded for
introducing suitable recruits from among the people they know. The logic behind employee
referral is that “it takes one to know one”. Benefits of this method are as follows:
 Quality Candidates
 Cost savings
 Faster recruitment cycles
 Incentives to current employees
On the other hand it is important for an organization to ensure that nepotism or favoritism
does not happen, and that such aspects do not make inroads into the recruitment process.

External Methods:

External methods of recruitment are again divided into two categories- Direct External
Recruitment and Indirect External Recruitment methods.

DIRECT EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT METHOD

Campus Recruitment

In Campus Recruitment, Companies / Corporate visit some of the most important Technical
and Professional Institutes in an attempt to hire young intelligent and smart students at
source. It is common practice for Institutes today to hire a Placement Officer who coordinates
with small, medium and large sized Companies and helps in streamlining the entire Campus
Recruitment procedure.

Benefits of Campus Recruitment

 Companies get the opportunity to choose from and select the best talent in a short span of
time.
1. Companies end up saving a lot of time and efforts that go in advertising vacancies,

18
 2. screening and eventually selecting applicants for employment
3. College students who are just passing out get the opportunity to present
themselves to some of the best companies within their industry of interest.
Landing a job offer while still in college and joining just after graduating is
definitely what all students dream of.
4. On the negative front, campus recruiting means hiring people with little or no
work experience.

INDIRECT EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT METHOD

Advertisement

Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment. They can be found in
many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs) and should
include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay package, location, job
description, how to apply-either by CV or application form, etc). Where a business chooses to
advertise will depend on the cost of advertising and the coverage needed i.e. how far away
people will consider applying for the job.

Third Party Methods

 Walk-ins: Walk-ins is relatively inexpensive, and applicants may be filed and

processed whenever vacancies occur. Walk-ins provide an excellent public relations
opportunity because well-treated applicants are likely to Sinform others. On the other
hand, walk-ins show up randomly, and there may be no match with available
openings. This is particularly true for jobs requiring specialized skills.

 Public and private employment agencies: Public and private employment agencies
are established to match job openings with listings of job applicants. These agencies
also classify and screen applicants. Most agencies administer work-sample tests, such
as typing exams, to applicants.
 E-Recruiting: There are many methods used for e-recruitment, some of the important
methods are as follows:

19
 a. Job boards: These are the places where the employers post jobs and search for
candidates. One of the disadvantages is, it is generic in nature.
b. Employer websites: These sites can be of the company owned sites, or a site
developed by various employers.
c. Professional websites: These are for specific professions, skills and not general in
nature.

 Gate Hiring and Contractors: The concept of gate hiring is to select people who
approach on their own for employment in the organization. This happens mostly in
the case of unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Gate hiring is quite useful and
convenient method at the initial stage of the organization when large number of such
people may be required by the organization

DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT STRATEGY EVALUATION OF

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT

Time-lapse data: They show the time lag between the dates of requisition for manpower
supply from a department to the actual date of filling the vacancies in that department. For
example, a company's past experience may indicate that the average number of days from
application to interview is 10, from interview to offer is 7, from offer to acceptance is 10 and
from acceptance to report for work is 15. Therefore, if the company starts the recruitment and
selection process now, it would require 42 days before the new employee joins its ranks.
Armed with this information, the length of the time needed for alternative sources of
recruitment can be ascertained - before pinning hopes on a particular source that meets the
recruitment objectives of the company.

Yield ratios: These ratios indicate the number of leads/ contacts needed to generate a given
number of hires at a point at time. For example, if a company needs 10 management trainees
in the next six months, it has to monitor past yield ratios in order to find out the number of
candidates to be contacted for this purpose. On the basis of past experience, to continue the
same example, the company finds that to hire 10 trainees, it has to extend 20 offers. If the
interview-to-offer ratio is 3:2, then 30 interviews must be conducted. If the invitees to
20
interview ratio is 4:3 then, as many as 40 candidates must be invited. Lastly, if contacts or
leads needed to identify suitable trainees to invite are in 5:1 ratio, then 200 contacts are made.

Surveys and studies: Surveys may also be conducted to find out the suitability of a particular
source for certain positions. For example', as pointed out previously, employee referral has
emerged as a popular way of hiring people in the Information Technology industry in recent
times in India. Correlation studies could also be carried out to find out the relationship
between different sources of recruitment and factors of success on the job. In addition to
these, data on employee turnover, grievances, and disciplinary action would also throw light
on the relative strengths of a particular source of recruitment for different organizational
positions. Before finally identifying the sources of recruitment, the human resource managers
must also look into the cost or hiring a candidate. The cost per hire can be found out by
dividing the recruitment cost by the number of candidates hired.

 Benefit for Client

As business these days grow on a confounding rate, outsourcing the basic functions like
recruiting becomes a common thing. The need for flexi staffing is on demand and in such a
scenario Denave India pvt ltd renders these services to its Clients.

A much defined process spans into four distinct stages,

 Initialization

 Transition

 Operations

 Relationship Management.

Methods or Techniques of Recruitment

Direct Method

These include sending recruiters to educational and professional institutions, employees’

contacts with public and manned exhibits. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation
with the placement office of the college. The placement office usually provides help in
attracting students, arranging interviews, furnishing space and providing student résumés. For
managerial, professional and sales personnel, campus recruiting is an extensive exercise. For
this purpose, carefully prepared brochures describing the organizing and the job it offers are
distributed among the students, before the interviewer arrives.

Indirect Method

These methods involve mostly advertising in newspapers, websITES, radio, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and brochures. Companies advertise when
qualified or experienced personnel are not available from other sources.

25
Third Party Method

These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies and
placement offices of colleges, recruiting firms, management consulting firms, friends and
relatives.

Professional Organizations:

These organizations maintain a pool of human resource for possible employment. These
firms are also called ‘head hunters’, ‘raiders’ and pirates by organizations who lose personnel
thought their efforts. Fundamentally there are two distinct steps of recruitment and each is a
comprehensive process in itself.

Preparation

Know your client

Learning about companies is valuable because knowing what a company values will help an
agent to assess the candidates better. Pertinent information about the processes of the
company would also help you analyze CVs and find the right candidate. This can be done by
reading the corporate website or calling the company for further information or using your
own network and find out the ‘work culture’.

This will help one to know about the history of the company, their core values, their clients
and processes, the benefits employees can enjoy and the career growth chart. When one has
knowledge about these vital parameters, it becomes easier to assess a resume based on these
parameters. Moreover, when one is equipped with such vital information about the company
and the job profile, it helps to motivate and mould the suitable but reluctant candidates to
attend the interview.

Analyze the Job Description (JD)

A job description is a written record of the duties, responsibilities and requirements of a

particular job. It is concerned with the job itself and not the work. It is a statement describing
the job in such terms as “Title, location, duties, working condition and hazards”. An updated
job description is essential for a good selection interview. It helps one to explain the nature of

26
work to the prospective candidate properly without any over or under commitment. This also
helps to put the candidate, the client company and the agent on the same platform.

Prepare a Job Specification (JS)

It is a written record of the requirements sought in an individual worker for a given job. In
other words, it refers to a summary of the personal characteristics required for a job. Once the
agent knows what the job is, then he can decide what kind of person he/she would need to do
it. Sometimes the job specification is already prepared and given by the client along with the
job description. In such a case, the job of the agent becomes easier. The job specification is
for the benefit of the employees working in Denave. It is ready reference to check on the
requirements that one needs to keep in mind while sourcing for the different clients. It makes
the whole task easier and more convenient.

Implementation

Sourcing: Sourcing is the most of all recruitment activities. It is also difficult being
monotonous in nature. A recruiter needs to be self-motivated to do the job. The sourcing
takes place in different levels and in all the verticals of the industry. The procedures involved
are discussed below. Even before sourcing is started, it is very important to have a clear
understanding of the requirement of the client company. The recruiter must have all
knowledge about the company he/she is about to source for. It makes sure that all the
questions that a candidate has regarding the profile or the credibility of the company are
satisfactorily answered. Sourcing is defined as the process wherein the recruiter creates a
pool of potential candidates to fill up a position. It is the first step of recruitment. Sourcing
involves logging on to a job-portal and doing a search for the potential candidates. After the
search is generated, the most critical part of sourcing starts. Mainly four steps are involved in
Sourcing. They are discussed below:

Analyze the Curriculum Vitae (CV):

Now is the time to scrutinize the candidate’s resume. It is human nature to generally omit the
negative points while creating a resume or to exaggerate the achievements. Though most of
the time people are truthful while forming their resumes, others can hide or not mention
things that can portrait a negative picture of them. A good CV is one which is precise and
27
presentable. It should contain all details of education and work experience should be arranged
in reversed chronological method so as to emphasize on the most recent one. Analyzing a CV
helps in short- listing a candidate.

Match the JD and JS:

When a CV has been analyzed and is considered as a good one, the next step is to match it
with the job description. It is necessary to match it with the profile given by the company.
Matching it with the JD gives an idea if the person will be able to serve well in the position or
not. Next it is important to match it with the job specification. The JS gives the details of the
desired skills and the mandatory skills. These are the criteria for selection.

Shortlist the candidate:

Once the CV has been matched with the job description and matched with the job
specification, CV can shortlisted. Such a candidate is then called in for a face-to-face
interview. There is an individual interview of the recruiter and the candidate. In this interview
the candidate answers the questions the recruiter asks to be sure that the candidate would suit
the profile of the job.

Handling the rejected candidates:

It is very important how a recruiter manages the rejected candidates. It is important to make
the candidate where his lacunas are and what can he do about it. In this way not only the
recruiter helps the candidate to correct itself but also helps in creating an association with
them which is so very vital in the service industry.

Interview

Interviews determine if a potential candidate will be a finalist and if he shall suit the job. A
lot of things get clear during an interview. A face to face talk with the candidate ensures that
the recruiter evaluates the candidate on terms of attitude, confidence and communication. The

28
gaps that seem in the resume are also questioned. The candidate may have an explanation for
it. On the other hand if he is lying, then he can be cross-questioned about this. Some of the
objectives of interview are:

 To get an opportunity to judge an applicant’s qualifications and characteristics as a

basic for sound selection and placement.

 To give an applicant essential facts about the job and the company you are recruiting
for.

 To establish a rapport.

 To promote goodwill about the company whether interview culminates in employment

or not.
 To get a real feel of the candidate.
The nature of the job determines which of these interviews would suit best. All the
interviews are not conducted for all the job profiles. The complexity of the interview
depends on the complexity of the job.

The telephonic Interview

It is said that listening intently gives a good idea of what a person want to say and what a
person does not say. The sound, intonations, the varying pressures that a prospective
candidate uses while he/she speaks tells a lot about his/her attitude. This in turn helps the
recruiter to judge that if the candidate would be suitable for the job or not. Unlike the face-to-
face interview where the recruiter can read the non-verbal languages, in a telephonic
interview he has to even sharper. Listening to the words used and their tone used gives
immense messages about the candidate.

As a recruiter, one has to be completely prepared before taking a telephonic interview. The
following steps can be kept in mind while taking a telephonic interview:

1) You must keep the CV next to you and make notes while taking the interview.
2) Must prepare a set of questions that would match the JD.

29
 3) To use a call script. This helps in being professional and saves time to in approaching
the right candidate.
4) Do not display any negative emotion during the interview. Not to over or under
commit anyone.

Devise interview questions:

Preparation in advance of an interview is essential if one is to make a successful hire. Critical

in the preparation process is the development of interview questions that elicit tangible facts
from all applicants. Basically, two rules are kept in mind when framing the questions that will
indicate whether or not an applicant meets the requirements you established for the position:

RULE 1: Ask questions that concentrate on the applicant’s past performance – to permit
reliable assumptions about future success.

RULE 2: Ask questions that relate directly to at least one of your listed requirements to
maximize the information you will gain in the time allotted.

General Questions:

 Tell me about yourself

 What do you about the company?
 What are your goals?
 What are your strengths and weakness?
 What has been your most significant contribution in your college/previous
organization?
 Why should we hire you?

Specific Questions:

 How would you resolve a conflict in a project team?

 What was experience in previous company?
 From how long you are working there?

LITERATURE REVIEW

39
Most employers recognized the fact that there staff is there greatest asset, and the right
recruitment and induction processes are vital in ensuring that the new employee becomes
effective in the shortest time. The success of an organisation depends on having the right no.
of staff, with the right skills and abilities. Organisations may have dedicated personnel/human
resource function over seeing this process or they may devolve these responsibilities to line
manager and supervisor. Many people may be involve, and all should be aware of the
principles of good practice. Even it is essential to involve others in the task of recruitment
and selection.

Ms.Ambika Verma(2009) in their survey research on the use technologies in recruiting,

screening and selection process for job candidates conducted in dimension group found that
most organisation implemented technology based recruitment and selection tools to improve
efficiency, reduce cost and expand the applicant pool.

The meta-analysis of the research conducted by chapman, uggersler, Carroll, paisentin and
Jones (2005) concluded that timely response from HR managers was linked to greater
applicant attraction to a job with in an organization.

According to Robins, in his study revealed that, “the ideal recruitment effort will attract a
large numbers of qualified applicants who will take the job if it is offered. So recruiting is a
process of discovering the potential candidates for actual organizational vacancies”.

Robert (2005), in his study titled, “Strategic HR Review,2004,”states that successful

recruitment and selection can improve organization performance.

Bowen, et al (1991), in his study examined, “that integrated recruitment and selection process
helps recruiters to choose the candidates to fit the characteristics of an organization culture.”

Beardwell, et al (2003), in his study examined that, “selection is carried out by organization
as a means of candidate’s potential and actual performance and the intake of employees will
make the most appropriate contribution to organisation-now and in future.”

 TYPE OF RESEARCH

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH

A research design is the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the
information needed to structure or solve the problem. It is the overall operational pattern or
framework of the project that stimulates what information is to be collected from which
source and by what procedure. On the basis of major purpose of our investigation the
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH was found to be most suitable. This kind of research has the
primary objective of development of insights into the problem. It studies the main area where
the problem lies and also tries to evaluate some appropriate courses of action.

DATA COLLECTION

The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been identified and the
research design has been chalked out. While deciding the method of data collection to be
used for the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data:
a. Primary data
b. Secondary data

In this research project the data being collected is as follows:

Primary Data: The survey method is used to collect the primary data in this research as it is
the Analytical research to find out the shortcomings and area of improvements according to
the skill required for recruitment team. The data that is collected first hand by someone
specifically for the purpose of facilitating the study is known as primary data. So in this
research the data is collected from respondents through QUESTIONNAIRE.

 Primary source of data :

the employer who are working with this organization and the company profile. Secondary
data refer to information gathered by someone other than the researcher conducting the
current study. Such data can be internal or external to the organization and accessed through
the Internet or perusal of recorded or published information.
Secondary sources of data provide a lot of information for research and problem solving.

 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

SIMPLE SAMPLING

Simple sampling is a sampling process that utilizes some form of random selection. In
probability sampling, each unit is drawn with known probability, or has a nonzero chance of
being selected in the sample. Such samples are usually selected with the help of random
numbers. With probability sampling, a measure of sampling variation can be obtained
objectively from the sample itself. Simple Random sampling has been adopted for this
research. Under which we have considered the sampling which has been done for a specific
designated population, because here a small cluster of professionals has been considered out
of the total universe which has been divided in small group like recruitment team &
employee.

SAMPLE SIZE

Sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from universe to constitute a sample.
The sample size should be optimum as it should fulfill the objective of the research.
40 Nos.- Total manpower strength is 450 and I have focused upon 10% of total employees of
DENAVE. (Covering each and every department).

SAMPLE AREA

The sample area refers to the universe to be studied under our research project. The area
denotes the place or the region to be studied and taken into research consideration. Thus, the

INTERPRETATION

The PATTERNED INTERVIEW format has a structure to it. There is a set of pre-determined
questions that will be asked from each candidate for a position. The STRESS INTERVIEW is
the interview in which the interviewers try to 'discomfort' the candidates in various ways and
observe how they react to various difficult situations. An IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW is a
qualitative research technique that allows person to person discussion. It can lead to

51
increased insight into people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviour on important issues. This
type of interview is often unstructured.

 CONCLUSION

Every company looks for an employee, who can work effectively. They are in search of a
person who has the maximum skills required for the job. After selecting the right person, the
company’s main aim is to place that person at the right job. The main strength of any
company is its employees. Effective workers are the best route to success. For this reason,
company's strives to attract and hire the best, and to provide the best place to work.
Some of the biggest and most constant challenges that plague organization is people related
because they don’t place more emphasis on getting the recruitment process right. If they get
the right person in the right job at the right time, bottom-line and many other business
benefits are immediate, tangible and significant. If they get the wrong person in the wrong
job, then productivity, culture and retention rates can all take a hit in a big way.

DENAVE INDIA PVT LTD has competent and committed workforce, still there are scope
for more improvements. To ensure that company recruits the right people, it has to identify
essential skills and behaviours that applicants should demonstrate. For each position there
should be a job description outlining typical duties and responsibilities and a person
specification defining personal skills and competences. The emphasis should be on matching
the needs of the company to the needs of the applicants. This would minimize employee
turnover and enhance satisfaction.

It is important for the company 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.

Management should structure and systematically organize the entire recruitment processes. It
should Offer tolls and supports to enhance productivity, solutions and optimizing the
recruitment processes to ensure improved ROI. The Recruitment Management System (RMS)
should be such that it helps to save the time and costs of the HR recruiters in company and
improving the recruitment processes.
