Executive Summary
General Banking provides the foundation of banker- customer relationship. This is an era of keen competition among Banks. It is the most important and preliminary work of a bank. The regular service given to customers such as depositing or drawing money, selling of instruments to them for remittance purpose, collection of instruments, providing other ancillary services to keep the customers satisfied. "The Overall Banking Operation of the Jamuna Bank Limited is my assign project. So, I am working in the Different Divisions. Lending is the core function of commercial bank. For a bank, good loans or credits or advances are most profitable assets. The largest portion of operating income is derived from lending. A commercial bank usually wins over its competitors only on the quality and quantity of lending. It is therefore, indispensable for a bank to have a well thought policy for executing its lending its lending operation. Foreign trades refer to the trade between the different sovereign nations of countries. Foreign trade mainly categorizes into export trade and import trade. For development of the economy in a country foreign trade is important. Financial institution like bank can help the foreign trade of a country through financial accommodation to the foreign trade.

The performance of the Jamuna Bank Limited as a whole is said to be quite standard.

Limitation of the Study: I have faced a few limitations to prepare the report. These are: # It is very difficult to provide any specific example from any file about certain document, as the matter is very sensitive for the client as well as for the bank. # As a financial organization, a bank has some restriction to serve all the real data of the bank to the general people. # Insufficient time.

HR officer's job is to make the recruitment and selection process pretty much accurate, in order to ensure that, all other factors related to organization are handled quite effectively. Therefore, HR officer has to concern about dealing with recruitment process as well as selection process due to the importance of recruiting cost. Further more, he has to make the image of the bank more attractive, nice working condition, good benefit & compensation. Because, these are the part of HR recruitment process. Some of the constraints have to be follow in the real world while setting up recruitment process. We are trying to mention this in the following way: If the organization needs very less employee, than the salary should be high to attract the candidate. If the organization has a better working condition, good applicant will be attracted. Compensation and benefit should be standardized. Technically sound people. Government rules and regulations should be in consideration. Economic condition of the overall economy should be in mind of HR officer. 36

These are the prime constraint or consideration be kept in mind or HR officer while dealing with recruiting.

Chapter: 3 Literature Review

The Role of Human Resource Recruitment HRP helps determine the number and type of people an organization needs. Job analysis and job design specify the task and duties of jobs and the qualifications expected from prospective job holders.
Human Resource Planning Determine Recruitment and Selection Needs

Job Analysis

Human resource recruitment refers to any organizational activity that is designed to affect

(1)The number of people who apply for vacancies. (2) The type of people who apply for then and or (3) The likelihood that those applying for vacancies will accept positions if offered.

4.1 What Recruitment all about:

In simple terms, recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected. A formal definition of recruitment is:
It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.

41

According to Datles Beach "Recruitment is the development and maintenance of adequate HR resources, It involves the certain of available labor union whom the organization can depend upon when it needs additional employees, So the function of recruitment is two (A) To discover sources of HR (B) To attract an adequate number of prospective employees. Though, theoretically, recruitment process is said to end with the receipt of applications, in practice the activity extends to the screening of applications so as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the job. 4.2 Purpose and Importance Recruitment The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates. Specially, the purposes are to: 1. Determine the present and future recruitments of the organization in conjunction with its personnel planning and job -analysis activities. 2. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. 3. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibly under qualified or overqualified job applicants. 4. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave the organization only after a short period of time. 5. Meet the organization's legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its workforce. 6. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates. 7. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short-term and long term. 8. Evaluate the effectiveness of several of recruiting techniques and sources for all long term.

4.3 Factors Influencing Recruitment Efforts:

The factors that influence the recruiting efforts are as follows: Image of the organization Working condition of the organization Environment of the organizations Colleagues whom he have to work with Economic condition of the country Technological condition of the country Recruitment cost Government influence

4.4 Factors Governing Recruitment

Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. Given its key role and external visibility, recruitment is naturally subject to influence of several factors, these include external as well as internal forces:

External For ces

Supply and Demand

Recruitment

Fig 2: Factors influencing Recruitment

43

4.4.1 External Factors:

External factors of recruitment refer to prospective candidates outside the enterprise. Following are the most common external factors.

Supply and Demand: Supply and Demand is a specific skill in the labor market. If the demand for a particular skill is high relative to the supply, an extraordinary recruiting effort may be needed. For instance, the demand for programmers and financial analysts is likely to be higher than their supply, as opposed to the demand-supply relationship for non-technical employees. Unemployment Rate: When the Unemployment rate in a given area is high, the bank's recruitment process may be simpler. The number of unsolicited applicants is usually greater, and the increased size of the labor pool provides better opportunities for attracting qualified applicants. On the other hand, as the unemployment rate drops, recruiting efforts must be increased and new sources explored. Labor-market:
Labor-market conditions in a local area are primary importance in recruiting for most non-managerial, supervisory and middle- management positions, however, so far as recruitment for executive and professional positions is concerned, conditions of all market are important.

44

 Political-Social: Political-Legal is another external factor in recruitment. There is a strong case for giving preference to people hailing from less-advantage sections of the society. Reservation has been accepted as inevitable by all sections of the society. The Supreme Court also has agreed upon 50 percent reservation of seats and jobs. Sons of soil: It is another political factor in recruitment. Political leaders clamor that preference must be given to the people of their respective states in matters of employment.

Image:
The bank's image also matters in attracting large number of job seekers. Blue cheap companies attract large number of applications. Often, it is not the money that is important. It is the perception of the job-seekers about the bank that matters in attracting qualified prospective employees. There are some other external factors which influencing the recruitment. Advertising Employment agencies Employment exchange Educational institutions Recommendations

4.5.2 Internal Factors:

Internal factors include the HR already on the pay-roll of the organization whenever any vacancy arise somebody from within the organization may be looked in to.

45

 Recruiting Policy: Most organization have a policy on recruiting internally (from own employees) or externally (from outside organization). Generally, the policy is to prefer internal sourcing, as own employees know the bank well and can recommend candidates who fit the organization culture. Another related policy is to have temporary and part-time employees. An organization hiring temporary and part-time employees is in a less advantage position in attracting sufficient applications. HRP: A major internal factor that can determine the success of the recruiting program is whether or not the Bank engages in HRP. In most cases, a bank can not attract prospective employees in sufficient numbers and with required skills overnight. It takes time to examine the alternatives regarding the appropriate sources of recruits and the most productive methods for obtaining them. Once the best alternatives have been identified, recruiting plans may make. Effective HRP greatly facilitates the recruiting efforts. Size of the firm: Size is another internal factor having its influence on the recruitment process. An organization with one hundred thousand employees will find recruiting less problematic than an organization with just one hundred employees. Cost: Cost of recruiting is yet another internal factor that has to be considered. Recruiting costs are calculated per new hire and the figure is considered now a days. Recruiters must, therefore, operate within budgets. Careful HRP and forethought by recruiters can minimize recruitment costs. One

46

cost-saving measure, for instance, is recruiting for multiple jobs operating simultaneously. The best solution is to use proactive personal practices to reduce turnover, thus, minimizing the need for recruiting. Evaluating the quality, quantity and costs of recruitment helps ensure that it is efficient and cost effective.

Growth and Expansion: An organization registering growth and expansion will have more recruiting on hand than the one which finds its fortunes declining. There are some other internal factors which influencing the recruitment: Promotion-' Promotion means shifting of an employee to a higher position carrying higher responsibilities, facilities, status and salary. Various positions in an organization are usually filled up by promotion of existing employees on the basis of merit or seniority. Transfer: Transfer refers to a change in job assignment. It may involve a promotion or demotion. A transfer may be either temporary or permanent depending on the necessity of filling jobs.

4.5 External versus Internal Recruitment:

Advantages of external sources of recruitment: 1. Wide options External sources bring in a large number of applicants. This will permit the enterprise to have a free hand in making the selection. 2. Infusion of new blood: The enterprise can expect to set fresh, talented candidates from outside. This means infusion of new blood and new ideas into the enterprise. 3. Elements of competition: Internal candidates have to complete with

47

outside candidates for the vacancies. This is a healthy feature from the point of view of the enterprise. 4. Benefits of new skills, new talents and new experiences to organizations 5. Compliance with reservation policy becomes easy. 6. Scope for resentment, jealousies and heartburn are avoided. Disadvantages of external sources of recruitment: (1) Frustration among existing employees: Recruitment from outside may cause dissatisfaction and frustration among the existing employees who aspire for the jobs by promotion or transfer. (2) High expense: The process of recruitment of candidates from outside involves considerable expense in the form of advertising for vacancies. (3) Time consuming: External recruitment takes more time than the internal recruitment since the enterprise has to publicize about vacancies and wait for their response. (4) Better morale and motivation: Better morale and motivation are associates with internal recruiting are denied to the organization. (5) Negative and positive errors: Chances of creeping in false positive and negative errors. (6) Adjustment: adjustment of new employees to the organizational culture takes longer time. Advantages of internal sources of recruitment: (1) Familiarity: The organization and its employees are familiar to each other. The organization knows the ability and skills of the candidates since they are insiders - similarly employees also know about the working conditions job requirements of the vacancies.
(2) Economy: the cost of recruitment internal employees is minimal. The

enterprise does not need any expenditure on informing and inducing its employees to apply. (3) Motivational value'- Internal recruitment is a source of encouragement and motivation for employees. The employees can look for promotion
48

and transfer with hope and thereby do their jobs well. (4) Less costly: it is less costly. (5) Better knowledge: organizations have better knowledge about the internal candidates. (6) Good performance is rewarded.

49

 Disadvantages of internal sources of recruitment: (a) Restricted Choice: Internal recruitment restricted the options and freedom for the enterprise in choosing the most suitable candidates for the vacancies. The enterprise may have to compromise on quality of its choice of candidates. (b) Absence of completion: In absence of completion from qualified candidates from outside employees are likely to expect automatic promotion by seniority. (c) Conflict: these may be chance of conflict among those workers who aspire for promotion to the vacancies. Those who are not promoted are unhappy and their efficiency may decline. (d) It perpetuates the old concept of doing things. (e) It abets raiding. (f) Candidates' current work may be affected. (g) Politics play greater role. (h) Morale problem for those not promoted.

4.6 Steps in Recruitment Policy:

The recruitment process consists of the following steps: (1) The first step in the recruitment process is the requisition from the department. The requisition consists of the following information-' The positions to be filled Number of persons to be recruited Qualifications required from the prospective candidates. Duties to be performed Terms and conditions of employees The time by which the person should be available

50

(2) The next step is locating and developing the source from where the persons are made available (3) Identifying the prospective employees with required features. (4) The HR Department is then to communicate the information about the organization the job and the terms and conditions of the service. (5) Encouraging the identified prospective candidates to apply for the job in the organization. (6) The last step in the process is to asses the effectiveness of the recruitment.

I 4.7 Recruitment Process:

Fig 3: Recruitment Process

Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to build a pool of qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated stages. These are: (1) Planning (2) Strategy development (3) Searching (4) Screening (5) Evaluation and Control

Recruitment Planning:

51

The first stage in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves the translation of likely job vacancies and information about the nature of these jobs into a set objectives or targets that specify to be contacted. These are: (a) Number and (b) Type of applicants
(a) Number of Contacts: Organization, nearly always, plan to attract more

applicants than they will hire. Some of those contacted will be uninterested, unqualified, or both. Each time a recruitment program is contemplated; one task is to estimate the number of applicants necessary to fill all vacancies with qualified people. (b) Types of Contacts: this refers to the type of recruits are required. The type of people depends on the task and responsibilities involved and the qualifications and experience expected. These details are available through job description and job specification. Strategy Development: According to strategy development, there are considering five way to set up in recruitment process. These are: (a) 'Make' or 'Buy' Employees (b) Technological Sophistication (c) Geographic Distribution (d) Source of Recruitment (e) Sequence of Activities
(a) 'Make' or 'Buy' Employees: Organization must decide whether to hire

less skilled employees and invest on training and education programs, or they can hire skilled labor and professionals. Essentially, this is the 'make' (hire less skilled workers) or 'buy' (hire skilled workers and professionals) decision.

52

(b) Technological Sophistication: Technological advancement has made it possible for job seekers to gain better access. They have begun sending video tapes about themselves to number of organization without wasting time and without spending money of travel.
(c) Geographic Distribution: Generally, organizations look in to the

national market for managerial and professional employees, regional or local areas for effective employees, and local markets for clerical and blue-collar employees. (d) Source of Recruitment: There may be two sources categorized. These are: (1) Internal Recruitment (2) External Recruitment

(1)

Internal Recruitment: Internal recruitment seeks applicants for position form those who are currently employed. Internal sources include present employees, employee referral, former employees and former applicants. External Recruitment: External sources far outnumber the internal methods. Specifically, sources external to an organization are professional or trade associations, advertisement, employees exchanges, college/university/institute placement services, walk-ins and write-ins, consultants, contractors, displaced persons, radio and television, acquisitions and mergers, and competitors.

(2)

(e) Sequence of Activities: An effective recruiting strategy must determine to sequence of activity that decide on the timings of events besides knowing where and how to look for job applicants. Searching: Once a recruiting plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can be categorized in to two steps. These are:

53

(a) Source Activation (b) Selling (a) Source Activation: Typically, sources and search methods are activated by the issuance of an employee requisition. This means that no actual recruiting takes place until line managers have verified that a vacancy does exist or will exist. If the organization has planned well and done a good job of developing its sources and search methods, activation soon results in a flood of applicants and/or resumes. Selling: In selling the organization, both the message and media deserve attention. Message refers to the employment advertisement With regard to media, it may be stated that effectiveness of any recruiting message depends on media. Media are several such as some have low credibility (employment exchange, for example), while others enjoy high credibility (advertisement in business magazines, for example). Selection od medium and media needs to be done a lot of care.

(b)

Screening: Screening of applications can be regarded as an integral part of the recruiting process. Applications received in response to advertisements are screened and only eligible applications are called for an interview. The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment process, at an early age. Those applicants who are visible unqualified for the job. Effective screening can save a great deal of time and money. In screening, clear job specifications are invaluable. It is both a good practice and a legal necessary that applicants' qualifications be judged on the basis of their knowledge, skills, abilities and interests required to do the job.

54

Evaluation and Control: Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred in the recruitment process. The costs generally incurred are: i. Sales for recruiters. ii. Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job specifications, advertisement, agency liaison and so forth, iii. Cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods that is agency fees. iv. Cost of producing supporting literature. v. Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses vi. Costs of overtime and outsourcing while the vacancies remain unfilled vii. Cost of recruiting suitable candidates for the selection process. Evaluation of Recruitment Process: The recruitment process has the objective of searching for and obtaining applications from job seekers in sufficient numbers and quality. Keeping this objective in mind, the evaluation might include; 1. Return rate of applications sent out. 2. Number of suitable candidates for selection. ] 3. Retention and performance of the candidates selected. 4. Cost of the recruitment process. 5. Time lapsed data. 6. Comments on image projected.

4.8 Internal versus External Recruiting:

One desirable feature of a vacancy, which we mentioned earlier, is that it, provides sample opportunity for advancement and promotion. One organizational policy that affects this is the degree to which the bank "promotes from within" that is, recruits for upper-level vacancies internally rather than externally. We discuss internal versus external recruiting both here and in "Recruitment Sources" later because this policy affects the nature of both the job and the individuals who apply. For now, we focus on the effects that promote from within policies have on job characteristics, noting that such policies make it clear t6o applicants that there are opportunities for advancement within the bank. These opportunities spring not just form the first vacancy but from the vacancy created when a person in the bank fill that vacancy. For example, in a bank with three levels of management, a vacancy at the third level that is filled from within may "trickle down", creating a vacancy at the second level, this, in turn, creates a vacancy at the first level. The retailing industry is an example of an entire sector of the economy that is increasingly being perceived as an area with good opportunities for internal advancement. This is especially the case for the superstores, such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Target, where thousands of managers must be hired and promoted each year to run new outlets. Whereas the prestigious corporate giants in manufacturing and banking are cutting back personnel, Target chains hired 1,000 college graduates in the spring of 1996. In fact, as noted by Leonard Berry, director of the Center for Retailing, "these days, Wal-Mart and K-Mart are two of the biggest recruiters on some college campuses." Applicants who used to shun retailing job are now attracted to then because of the opportunities for advancement. A newly minted college graduate who goes to Target can have responsibility for 20 employees and $8 million department 12 weeks out of school. These trainees, if successful, can become managers of small stores in as little as three years. Some employees who started with Target

56

when they were 24 years of age are regional senior vice-presidents by the time they are 30. Led-the-Market Pay Strategies: Because pay is an important job characteristic for almost all applicants, companies that take a "Lead-theMarket" approach to pay-that is, a policy of paying higher-than -current market -wages-have a distinct advantage in recruiting. Pay can also be used to make up for a job's less desirable features- for example, paying higher wages to employees who have to work midnight shifts. Employment-at-Will Policies: Employment -at-will policies state that either party in the employment relationship can terminate that relationship at any time, regardless of cause. Companies that do not have employment-at-will provisions typically have extensive due process policies. Due process policies formally lay out the steps an employee can take to appeal a termination employee with impunity. To protect themselves from wrongful discharge suits, employees have been encouraged to state explicitly, in all formal recruiting documentation that the employment is "at will".
Some authors have gone far as to suggest that all mention of due process should be eliminated from bank handbooks, personnel manual and recruiting brochures. Although this may have some legal advantages, job security is a feature to many job applicants. Organizational recruiting materials that emphasize due process, rights of appeal, and grievance mechanisms send a message that job security is high; employment-at-will policies suggest the opposite. Research indicates that job applicants find companies with due process policies more attractive than companies with employment-at-will policies.

Image Advertising: Organizations often advertise specific vacancies. Sometimes, however, organizations advertise just to promote themselves as a good place to work, in general. Image advertising is particularly important for companies in highly competitive labor markets that perceive themselves as having bad image. We noted earlier that the challenge and responsibility of a job is an attractive characteristic for many people. These

57

advertisements focused on the challenge associated with jobs. They also attempted to offset certain negative attributes of the work, such as the fact that, in some of its jobs at certain times, other people are systematically trying to kill you. Although the programs described here try to promote the employer in the labor market in general, other image advertising programs target specific groups within the overall labor market. For example, may large corporations with agricultural ties, such as DuPont and Cargill, struggle to attract minority applicants. Statistics indicate, for example, that Hispanics, Asians, and African Americans constitute a mere 4 percent, 3 percent and Spercent of all agriculture and food scientists, respectively. Lisa Barrios, a Mexican American who grew up in Chicago, typifies many urban minorities when she notes that "I assumed everything was just framing if you didn't have a rural background, then you wouldn't be able to do it." After working at a special minority internship program at Monsanto's Hybritech unit in Indiana, however, Barrios changed her major from chemical engineering to agricultural engineering. Direct Applicants and Referrals: Direct applicants are people who apply for a vacancy without prompting from the organization. Referrals are people who are prompted to apply by someone within the organization. These two sources of recruits share some characteristics that make them excellent sources from which to draw.
First, many direct applicants are to some extend already "sold" on the organization. Most of them have done some homework and concluded that there is enough fit between themselves and the vacancy to warrant their submitting an application. This process is called "self-selection", and when it works effectively, it takes a great deal of pressure off the organization's recruiting and selection systems. A form of aided self-selection occurs with referrals too. Current employees (who are knowledgeable of both the vacancy and the person they are referring) do their homework and conclude that there is a fit between person and the vacancy; they then sell the person on the job. Indeed, research shows that new hires that used at least one informal source reported having greater pre hire knowledge of the organization than those whom relied exclusively on formal recruitment sources. Those who report having multiple sources were even better, however, in terms of both pre hire knowledge about the position and subsequent 58

turnover. In fact, the turnover rate for applicants who came from multiple recruiting sources was half that of those recruited via campus interviews or newspaper advertisements.

When one figures into these results the low costs of such sources, they clearly stand out as one of the best sources of new hires. Indeed, some employers even offer financial incentives to current employees for referring applicants who are accepted and perform acceptably on the job (e.g., stay 180 days). Other companies play off their good reputations in the labor market to generate direct applications. For example, minorities constitute 26 percent of the 6.500 managerial and professional employees at Pubali Bank Ltd, and this enhances the firm's ability to recruit other minorities. As Mr. Ibrehim Khaled, managing director at Pubali Bank, "I get a lot of resumes from people of all cultures and ethnicity's because Pubali Bank has a good reputation," and this precludes the need for expensive and sometimes unreliable outreach programs. Of course, referrals don't necessarily have to come just from current employees. The importance of good community relations to recruitment can be seen in the experience of Islami Bank Ltd, which was rated number one on Business Week's list of 100 best Banks in last year. Islami Bank Ltd is one of the fastest growing banks in the Bangladesh, once relied on classified ads to find drivers and store employees. This method was highly unreliable, however, because the bank did not have the facilities to develop sophisticated tests of people's skills and attitudes. Store managers are now encouraged to make professional contacts within their communicates such as with the principal or guidance counselor at the local high school, leaders of church groups, and coaches in youth sports leagues. Store managers can then use these contacts to help generate referrals among promising young applicants. These community relationships help connect the Islami Bank to potential employees who have established good reputations in their community for reliability and trustworthiness. Advertisements in Newspapers and Periodicals: Advertisements to recruit personnel are ubiquitous, even though they typically generate less
59

desirable recruits tan direct applications or referrals, and at greater expense. However, since few employers can fill all their vacancies with direct applications and referrals, some form of advertising is usually needed. Moreover, an employer can take many steps to increase the effectiveness of this recruitment method. The two most important questions to ask in designing a job advertisement are: What do we need to say? To whom do we need to say it? With respect to the first question, many organizations fail to adequately communicate the specifics of the vacancy. Ideally, persons reading an ad should get enough information to evaluate the job and its requirement, allowing them to make a well-informed judgment regarding their qualifications. This could mean running longer advertisements, which costs more. However, these additional costs should be evaluated against the costs of processing a huge number of applicants who are not reasonable qualified or who would not find the job acceptable once they learn more about it. In terms of whom to reach with this message, the organization placing the advertisement has to decide which medium it will use. The classified section of local newspapers is the most common medium. It is a relatively inexpensive means of reaching a large number of people within a specified geographic area who are currently looking for work (or at least interested enough to be reading the classifieds). On the downside, this medium does not allow an organization to target skill levels very well. Typically, classified ads are read by many people who are either over- or under qualified for the position. Moreover, people who are not looking for work merely read the classifieds, and thus this is not the right medium for luring people away from their current employers. Specially targeted journals and periodicals may be better than general newspapers at reaching a specific part of the overall labor market. In addition, employers are increasingly using
60

television-particularly cable television-as a reasonably priced way of reaching people. Public Employment Agencies: The Social Security Act of 1935 requires that everyone receiving unemployment compensation be registered with a local state employment office. These state employment offices work with the Employment Service to try to ensure that unemployed individuals eventually get off state aid and back on employer payrolls. To accomplish this, agencies collect information from the unemployed about their skills and experiences. Employers can register their job vacancies with their local state employment office, and the agency will attempt to find someone suitable using its computerized inventory of local unemployed individuals. The agency makes referrals to the organization at no charge, and these individuals can be interviewed or tested by employer for potential vacancies. Private Employment Agencies: Public employment agencies serve primarily the blue-collar labor market; private employment agencies perform much the same service for the white-collar labor market. Unlike public agencies, however, private employment agencies charge the organization for the referrals. Another difference between private and public employment agencies is that one doesn't have to be unemployed to use a private employment agency.
One special type of private employment agency is the so-called executive search firm (ESF). These agencies are often referred to as "headhunters" because, unlike the other sources we have examined, they operate almost exclusively with people who are currently employed. For example, when BMW sought to open it new U.S. plant, it used an executive search firm to help "liberate" Alien Kinzer and Edwin Buker form Honda, looking to re-create the success that Honda had by recruiting these individuals.

61

Dealing with executive search firms is sometimes sensitive process because executives may not want to advertise their availability for fSear of their current employer's reaction. Thus, ESFs serve as an important confidentiality buffer between the employer and the recruit. ESFs are expensive to employ for both direct and indirect reasons. Directly, ESFs often charge one-third to one-half of the salary of the executive who is eventually placed. Indirectly, employers who use ESFs wind up having to lure people not form unemployment but from jobs that they may be quite satisfies with. A bank in a growing industry may have to offer as much as 50 percent more than the executive's current pay to prompt his or her to take the new job. Colleges and Universities: Most colleges and universities have placement services that seek to help their graduates obtain employment. Indeed, oncampus interviewing is their graduates obtain employment. Indeed, oncampus interviewing is the most important source of recruits for entrylevel professional and managerial vacancies. Organizations tend to focus especially on colleges that have strong reputations in areas for which they have critical need (chemical engineering, public accounting, etc.) For example, Standard Charted Bank has a five-part college recruiting strategy. First, the bank concentrates it efforts on 25 to 30 selected universities, trying not to spread itself too thin. Second, it has a commitment to these selected universities and returns each year with new openings. Third Standard Charted Bank uses a large number of line managers in its recruiting interviews; because they have better real world knowledge about the job and working conditions relative to improve narrowly informed human resource staff. Fourth, the HR staff is used to coordinate the line managers' activities with the university' staff, making sure that the same person works with the same university year in and year out to achieve "continuity of contact." Finally, Standard Charted Bank strives for continuous improvement by frequently asking students they have recruited to give them feedback on the process and, where possible, to compare and contrast Standard Charted Bank's process with the process used by other firms recruiting at the same university.

62

Many employers have found that to effectively compete for the best students, they need to do more than just sign prospective graduates up for interview slots. One of the best ways to establish a stronger presence on a campus is with a college internship program. For example, HSBC funds a summer intern program for minority M.B.A students and often hires these interns for full-time positions when they graduate. These kinds of programs allow an organization to get early access to potential applicants and to assess their capacities directly. Another way of increasing one's presence on campus is to participate in university job fairs. In general, a job fair is a place where many employers gather for a short time to meet large numbers of potential job applicants. Although job fairs can be held anywhere (e.g., at a hotel or convention center), campuses are ideal locations because of the large number of welleducated, yet unemployed, individuals who live there. Participation in job fairs is a rather inexpensive means of generation an on-campus presence, and it can even provide some one-one-one dialogue with potential recruitsthe kind of dialogue that could not be achieved through less interactive media like newspaper advertisements. Finally, as more organizations attempt to compete on a global level, the ability to recruit individuals who will be successful both at home and abroad is becoming an increasing concern, and many organizations feel that college campuses are one of the best places to search for this type of transportable talent. Commercial Bank of Cylon , for example, is a U.S technology firm with 8,000 employees- only 2,000 of whom lives in the United States. Commercial Bank of Cylon derives 70 percent of its $950 million in annual sales from outside the United States, and thus the majority of workers are expatriates, local nationals, or foreign service employees. Three critical aspects of Commercial Bank of Cylon's recruitment strategy are critical to its success in attaining an internationally talented work force.

63

Final Commercial Bank of Cylon focuses on recruiting college students. As one manager at Commercial Bank of Cylon states, "We have had more success molding younger people into this bank and into overseas assignments than taking more experienced people who've worked for other companies." Second, Commercial Bank of Cylon recruits many foreign national students (especially M.B.A. who are studying in the Universities for assignments back in their native country. These individuals have the best of both worlds, in terms of having a formal education in business practices and also having a firm understanding of both the language and culture of their home country. Finally, when recruiting students, Commercial Bank of Cylon requires that each person hired be fluent in both English and one other language. This commitment to multilingual competency can be seen at the national headquarters, where 15 different languages are spoken.
Electronic Recruiting: As we highlighted in the vignette that opened, many of the advantages of a typical job fair can now be gained without the need to place the recruiter and recruit in the same physical location. Computer recruitment networks allow employers to conduct searches that are widely distributed geographically, without ever leaving the home office. Within the last few years, the use of computer networks to recruit employees has expanded a great deal.

Evaluating the Quality of a Source: Because there are few rules about the quality of a given source for a given vacancy it is generally a good idea for employers to monitor the quality of all their recruitment sources. One means of accomplishing this is to develop and compare yield ratios for each source. Yield ratios express the percentage of applicants who successfully move from one stage of the recruitment and selection process to the next. Comparing yield ratios for different sources helps determine which is best or most efficient for the type of vacancy being investigated. Data on cost per hire is also useful in establishing the efficiency of a given source. The following table shows hypothetical yield ratios and cost-per-hire data for five different recruitment sources. For the job vacancies generated by this bank, the best two sources of recruits are local universities and

64

employee referral programs. Newspaper advertisements generate the largest number of recruits, but relatively few of these are qualified for the position. Recruiting at nationally renowned universities generates highly qualified applicants, but relatively few of them ultimately accept positions. Finally, executive search firms generate a small list of highly qualified and interested applicants, but this is an expensive source compared with other alternatives.

4.9 Recruiters:
In many cases, by the time a recruiter meets some applicants, they have already made up their minds about what they desire in a job and what the current job has to offer. Moreover, many applicants approach the recruiter with some degree of skepticism. Knowing that it is the recruiter's job to sell

65

them on a vacancy, some applicants my discount what the recruiter says relative to what they have heard from other sources. For these and other reasons, recruiters' characteristics and behaviors seem to have less impact on applicants' job choice than one might expect. Moreover, as shown in the following figure, whatever impact a recruiter does have on an applicant lessens as one moves from reaction criteria (i.e., how the applicant felt about the recruiter) toward job choice criteria (i.e. Whether the applicant takes the job).
Recruiter's Functional Area: Most organizations must choose whether their recruiters are specialists in human resources or experts at particular jobs (e.g. supervisors or job incumbents). Some studies indicate that applicants find a job less attractive and the less credible when he or she is a personnel specialist. This does not completely discount the role of personnel specialists in recruiting, but it does indicate that such specialists need to take extra steps to ensure that applicants perceive them as knowledgeable and credible.

Recruiter's Traits: Two traits stand out when applicants' reaction to recruiters are examined. The first, which could be called "warmth," reflects the degree to which recruiter seems to care about the applicant and is enthusiastic about his or her potential to contribute to the bank. The second characteristic could be called "informative ness." In general, applicants respond more positively to recruiters who are perceived as warm and informative. These characteristics seem more important than such demographic characteristics as age, sex, or race, which have complex and inconsistent effects on applicant responses.

Fig 5: Relative Impact of die Recruiter on Various Recruitment Interview Outcomes.

66

Recruiter's Realism: Perhaps the most well researched aspect of recruiting deals with the level of realism that the recruiter incorporates into his or her message. Since the recruiter's job is to attract candidates, there is some pressure to exaggerate the positive features of the vacancy while downplaying the negative features. On the other hand, if the recruiter goes too far, the candidate can be misled and lured into taking the job under false pretenses. This can lead to a serious case of unmet expectations and a high job turnover rate. Many studies have looked at the capacity of "Realistic Job Previews" to circumvent this problem and help minimize early job turnover. On the whole, the research suggests that the effect of realistic job previews on eventual turnover is weak and inconsistent. Certainly, the idea that one can go overboard in selling a vacancy to a recruit has merit. However, the belief that informing people about the negative characteristics of the job will "Inoculate" them to such characteristics seems unwarranted, based on the research conducted to date. Thus, we return to the conclusion that the decisions an organization makes about personnel policies that directly affect the job's attributes (i.e., pay, security, advancement opportunities, and so on) will probably be more important than recruiter traits and behaviors in affecting job choice. Enhancing Recruiter Impact: Although research suggests that recruiters don't have much influence on job choice, this does not mean recruiters cannot have an impact. Most recruiters receive little training, and recent research has attempted to find conditions in which recruiters do make a difference. Based on this research, an organization can take several steps to increase the impact that recruiters have on those they recruit. First, recruiters can provide timely feedback. Applicants react very negatively to delays in feedback, often making unwarranted attributions for the delays (e.g., the organization is uninterested in my application). Second, recruiters need to avoid behaviors that might convey the wrong organizational impression. Third, recruiting can be done in teams rather than by individuals. As we have seen, applicants tend to view line
67

personnel (e.g., job incumbents and supervisors) as more credible than personnel specialists, so these kinds of recruiters should be part of any tern. On the other hand, personnel specialists have knowledge that is not shard by line personnel (who perceive recruiting as a small part of their "real" job), so they should be included as well.

4.10 Prerequisites of a good Recruitment policy:

5.4 Recruitment Process:

Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable individuals to apply for employment. Success in recruiting is not simply measured by the number of applications received. The right type of applicant is far more important than the number of applicants Job analysis information is key to the success of the endeavor. It ensures that the incumbent will meet the requirements of the job as well as individual attributes deemed necessary. Job analysis information exists in job descriptions and specifications. If this information does not exist, managers comments become invaluable. For example, requirements may involve knowledge, but not experience, leading to recruitment efforts in local educational institutions. Identifying experience as a requirement would eliminate educational institutions from recruitment efforts with the exception of continuing education. Consider the Following in Determining Recruitment Needs: When consulting the job description for the position, identify actual duties and look for other attributes that might be helpful. Determine the characteristics of organization' s culture. What attributes might a person need to fit in? Who will be supervising the position? What attributes should a person possess to serve as a complement to this boss? With what other individuals will this person have day-to-day contact? Are there certain group characteristics that need to be taken into account? Look around your environment. What other factors might have to be taken into consideration to assure a thorough assessment of position characteristics?
72

Understanding the constraints on recruitment is also key to success. As the labor market tightens, it becomes even more important to determine the most appropriate recruitment sources. In that way, budgets are spent in a manner that will provide a positive return on investment.

5.4.1 Application Screening

An organizations overall effectiveness and success depends on the quality and caliber of the employees it hires. Skills and qualifications must closely match the organizations culture and strategic requirements. The selection process begins with evaluating resumes and cover letters effectively. The key to evaluating a resume is to remain impartial, particularly if the candidate is known. Look specifically at the following components: Overall Appearance Are there spelling errors? Is everything in the proper tense? Does it have a "textbook" appearance - did the applicant or a professional prepare it? t* What impresses you positively and negatively? Organization Does the resume tell you what you want to know? Has care been taken to include information that will help you in the decision making process? Does it ramble?

73

Are individual entries consistent and understandable?

Do you find the information you need when looking under the logical category? Education Look at the motivation of an applicant who possesses more education than the position requires. Look for irregularities with education listed. More than 30% of all applicants lie on resumes, particularly about education. Experience Does the applicant provide parameters from which to judge responsibility? (number supervised, size of budget, amount of sales) I* Duties vs. responsibility - what did they actually do? Do they provide a list of accomplishments, which give an indication of work ethic and working knowledge? Is this a real job title? Many applicants can be pretty free with descriptions. Note the frequency of job changes - is this contract work or a job hopper? References Use the phone. Most references are more likely to be honest over the phone or in person rather than in a formal letter. Seek information on job - related behavior. Ask for details such as tardiness and absenteeism, rather than personality traits, such as ambition and intelligence, which are hard to evaluate.

74

 Do ask, "Would you rehire this employee?"

Do ask, "How is this persons behavior in a group setting?"

Watch out for phrases with hidden meanings. Most references do not blatantly lie, they simply dont tell the whole truth. A person described as someone who is deeply committed to family and friends may be someone who will not work beyond five o' clock. Cover Letter Is it written in proper business format? Is there care shown in the preparation of the letter? Is it addressed to you or "Dear Sir"? Is it an original letter or are you one of 399 recipients? Look for references specific to your organization rather than canned phrases. Is the spelling and grammar correct?

Does the letter achieve its objective? Does it impress you with the applicants focus and reasons for wanting the job?

Will the marketing quality that sells you on the applicant contribute to your organization?

5.4.2 Screening Applicants by Telephone

Once a HR manager has determined the qualified applicants, consider his first contact as a screening tool. Phone calls offer tremendous opportunities to gather information about a persons background, level of confidence, communication skills, etc. It is also a faster process than personal interviews since conversation tends to be shorter. It eliminates
75

the hassle of scheduling, reserving rooms and other tasks an extra time. Phone interviews are viewed as less formal and are therefore more relaxed. However, this is not to replace personal interviews entirely. Preparation for Telephone Interviews is Critical Develop clearly worded questions and outline what you expect for answers. Ensure you ask the same questions to all applicants. Prepare what you will say about the job and organization when screening applicants. Prepare an evaluation form that will be used for all applicants. Notes will not provide the same clarity as a form, which gives a summary of experience in the same place for each applicant. Ensure you treat everyone the same. Prepare for the common questions that applicants are most likely to ask. Rehearse the screening process. Block out time to screen applicants so you will not be interrupted. 5.4.3 Personal Interviews Recognize that the best person for a job is one who finds the job challenging and is able to do the majority of it upon hiring. The rule of thumb is to select someone who can do 80% of the job. Instead of asking the predictable questions, "Tell me about yourself" and the like, consider asking the person to tel-1 you a story about a time when they had to deal with a difficult customer. What was the situation? How did the person attempt to handle it? What was the result? What did the person learn? A story allows insight into the person' s poise, attitude and ability to communicate. Use phrases such as "Help me understand---"
Each candidate should be interviewed in the same way. Questions, exercises and tasks should not vary and must all be job-related. Try to schedule interviews in the morning since those interviewed late in the afternoon tend to suffer in the evaluation process. 76

Develop questions with care given to how they are formed. Each question should address defined criteria for the job. Questions will fall into five categories Career goals/occupational objectives Education Work experience General skills and aptitudes related to job criteria Attitudes and personality characteristics When Conducting Interviews, Keep These Tips in Mind : Review the candidates application materials before you walk into the interview. Prepare the location to make sure things are in order and that no interruptions will occur. Put the candidate at ease. Don' never hurts. t make them wait. A little small talk

Outline the interview process, but do not identify a time frame. If the interview goes poorly, end it quickly. Keep an open mind by trying not to prejudge the candidate based on the first 30 seconds of contact. Let the candidate do the talking Be attentive. Observe body language - is there a level of enthusiasm and confidence? Take notes. Maintain control - be careful not to let the interviewee take over. Probe incomplete answers. Test for character - after a person has given the answer, ask them about their approach and reasoning. Keep reactions to yourself. Close the interview on a positive note. Refrain from announcing a decision.

77

Write an interview summary.

5.4.4 Second Interviews

Second interviews are always a good idea, but absolutely necessary whenever more than one candidate is outstanding. They are an opportunity for further assessment. Clarify applicant' s needs, desires and qualities. Misunderstandings usually prove costly. Look for hot buttons during your conversation that reveal the persons real priorities and interests in the position. Especially look for clues in comments about success, needs for recognition or monetary reward or challenge. A sample question might be, "What things are important to you in your career development?"
Use your intuition. If something doesnt feel right, investigate. Dont be afraid to sell if your top candidate is in high demand, "What will it take for you to come to work for us?" Get them to identify all concerns and desires and then address each one.

5.4.5 Notifying Candidates

Efficient decision-making reduces the loss of excellent candidates. The entire selection process for any candidate should take no more than three weeks. Every unsuccessful applicant who has been interviewed should receive a response within two or three days by mail. Form letters can be very helpful to ensure a clean process. You are not obligated to explain your reasons for rejection.

5.5 Part-time Employment:

No advertisements are made for part-time recruitment.

5.6Internship:

Chapter 6: Analysis of Questionnaire

The questionnaire has been surveyed to find out or to visualize the "Human Recruitment Process of JAMUNA BANK LIMITED. I surveyed it among 25 staffs or employees of JAMUNA BANK LIMITED. After survey, I did the work of interpretation, means, whatever, we found. Our findings are listed below according to the serial of the questionnaire: In the interpretation of questionnaire, I have used same graphs, because of, For making it more clear. For avoiding mistakes.
I have already mentioned in the assumption that, all staffs are, anyhow, involved with recruitment process for making the survey easier, because it is a little bit difficult task to make the survey in "High Level Management". We believe, today's "Mid Level Managers or Officers" are the part of future "High Level Management".

I did the survey in the "Customers Relation Division". So, all the employees, took part in the survey, were from "Customers Relation Division". In a short period of time, it was not possible for us to provide more affords or to survey in another divisions. Sometimes, the questionnaire did not reflect the "Actual Information" of the manager, might be he or she did not show his or her best interest in the questionnaire. I already mentioned that, the survey has been done within 25 employees or staffs or officers. The result has been converted to "100" for making the meaning easily understandable.

Chapter 7: Findings
Though more circulars are found on the internet (bdjobs.com, etc) than the newspaper probably to search for the computer, accounting etc related people, people from most levels preferred to go through newspapers for searching the suitable job which has become a tradition only a few people utilizes the power of internet. And who are getting benefited. Though psychological questions are preferred more by the recruiters, still there is need for more theoretical questions along with it because to test their theoretical knowledge related to their work field.

Arrest records are made negligible in the interviewing process which should be given more stress to eliminate fraudulence in the bank. We know JAMUNA BANK LIMITED is the country's one of the renowned retail banks, but in the survey it is found that most respondents are here for their own benefits not for the bank goodwill.

90

Chapter 8: Recommendations and Conclusion

Interpretation of the questionnaire has been showed before. From that we learned so many factors that have impact on the "Recruitment Process of JAMUNA BANK LIMITED. Such as:

8.1 Rules and Regulations or Traditions (in Brief)

JAMUNA BANK LIMITED always prefers that candidates whom ages fall into the category of 25-35 Their Educational Requirement is minimum Graduate" cases. They prefer "External Source" for recruitment. Among the "External Media's" they prefer "Internet" most. The people who believe that JAMUNA BANK LIMITED uses "Internal Source" for recruitment, among them, most of the peoples believe that "Internal Source" is biased. At the time of recruitment, they ask a candidate "Psychological Questions". Many of them believe that they don't look for "Previous Experience" for recruitment and the rest believe that, "Previous Experience" is important if it is "Job Related. Most of them uses "Arrest Record" for automatically disqualify a person. Many of them don't prefer female than male in the "Same Position Having Same Ability". Most of them prefer "Minority Groups" for recruitment; even they don't
91

in most

ask for good educational requirement in case of them. In most cases, they rehabilitate employees after physical or mental depression. They didn't face any type of question in the interview, which was not job related. That means, JAMUNA BANK LIMITED doesn't ask any question in the interview, which is not job related during recruitment. No candidate usually does face any type of discrimination during recruitment process.

8.2 Ethical Issues or Burning Questions (in Brief)

Most of them consider that "Arrest Record" should not be used for automatically disqualify a person. Many of them think that female should not be preferred for the same position having same ability. Almost everybody give the opinion that "Good Requirement" should be asked in case of minority groups. Educational

Most of them accept that employee should be rehabilitated after physical or mental depression.

92

8.3 Conclusion:
Actually, it's a very tough job to find out the "Human Recruitment Process of Any Organization", because, the lack of "Structured Features" that exists in that organization at the time of "Recruitment". Instead of that, we conducted a survey to find out that in JAMUNA BANK LIMITED The "Questionnaire" conveys those factors in which they believe or which they want to come true. The main problem, we faced in finding out the "Recruitment Process of JAMUNA BANK LIMITED was the lack of any book or document that containing writings about their "Hypothetical Recruitment Process". Moreover, in the restriction of "Expressing Their Rules and Regulations outside Their Organization". That's why; we took the help of "Questionnaire". Whatever they need or whatever they need to be changed in their organization at the time of recruitment, was briefed in this "report". The more important thing that we should include in the conclusion is that, the rating of the raters depends on their perception, varies person to person according to their practice, interest and above all, "Background". That's why their answers got different from each other in the questionnaire instead of doing jobs in the same organization or in the same position. Recently, Bangladesh is being ranked first as a corrupted country. So here we can never hope that the recruitment process will be valid and reliable. There are biasness and other political influences hindering above recruitment process. HR officers should not be bias. But this doesn't mean that all the organizations in our country are corrupted. I gave the examples of JAMUNA BANK LIMITED who are following this method. But it is true that, perfect selection and recruitment process will give the bank perfect employee who will be very effective for the organization.
