EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Samsung 9lectronics P:T (T2. started its operation in India in 1-4- and since it is
marching to!ards glor" and has man" laurels to its name. %" training period in this
compan" has given me a lot of confidence and e8posure to !hat corporate !orld is. The
project given to me is Benchmarking on Recruitment and Selection. The 5im of the
project is to determine the effectiveness of Recruitment and Selection Polic" in Samsung
in comparative !ith other companies ;Path Infotech 9<( Peridot 6onsultanc" 5lcatel
Son" and :ideocon=.
5s !e kno! that in order to run an" compan" !e search right candidate for the right
job. It is the initial step to run an" organi)ation because emplo"ees are the most
important asset of an" organi)ation. The success or failure of an organi)ation is largel"
dependent on the caliber of the people !orking therein. That>s the reason I have chosen
this topic and secondl" it is major part of ?R !hich is m" subject of interest.
This project reflects the !orking culture of Samsung as to ho! the compan" uses various
methods in recruiting and selecting the applicants in comparative !ith other companies
and in !hich areas it needs some improvement.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
5s !e kno! that the human resources are the most important asset of an organi)ation. The
success or failure of an organi)ation is largel" dependent on the caliber of the people
!orking therein. @ithout positive and creative contributions from people organi)ations
cannot progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goal or perform the activities of an
organi)ation therefore firstl" !e need to plan proper manpo!er planning because it is the
essential process of getting the right number of &ualified people into the right job at the
right time so that an organi)ation can meet its objectives. It is a s"stem of matching the
suppl" of people !ith openings the organi)ation e8pects over a given time frame. 5fter the
manpo!er planning !e need to recruit people !ith re&uisite skills &ualifications and
e8perience to perform the activities of an organi)ation. Therefore
Recruitment is a true sales function. A recruiter should uncover the needs of the
applicants and understand why they have those needs and the recruiter can then
show how the organization can specifically satisfy such needs.

Recruitment provides a pool of applicants for selection. Selection is much more than just
choosing the best candidate. It is an attempt to strike a happ" balance bet!een !hat the
applicant can and !ants to do and !hat the organi)ation re&uires. :arious selection tools
and techni&ues are used to find people !ith relevant &ualifications !ho are !illing to
accept the job offer and give satisfactor" service and performance in the long run.
What is Benchmarking?
3
Benchmarking is the process of seeking out and stud"ing the best internal practices that
produce superior performance. @e supplement the traditional metrics,focused approach
!ith an anal"sis of !h" and ho! practices produce e8ceptional results. Best Practices
((6 does more than help our clients understand their strengths and !eaknesses,,!e give
them a road map for improvement.
Benchmarking can "ield great benefits in the education of e8ecutives and the reali)ed
performance improvements of operations. In addition benchmarking can be used to
determine strategic areas of opportunit". In general it is the application of !hat is learned
in benchmarking that delivers the marked and impressive results so often noted. The
determination of benchmarks allo!s one to make a direct comparison. 5n" identified gaps
are improvement areas.
Benchmarking can take several forms. Internal benchmarking studies the practices and
performance !ithin the client organi)ation. 98ternal benchmarking determines the
performance of other preferabl" !orld,class companies.
The best kind of benchmarking not onl" makes comparisons !ith a compan">s
competitors in its o!n industr" but also seeks to make comparisons !ith best practice in
other industries.
Advantage of the benchmarking for a company
1. 5 better understanding of the !aits ;e8pectations= of the customer because it isA
based on the realit" of the market estimated in a objectivit" !a".
*. 5 better economic planning of the purposes and the objectives to achieve in the
compan" because the" areA centered on !hat takes place outside controlled and
mastered.
0. 5 better increase of the productivit"A resolution of the real problems understanding
of the processes and !hat the" produce.
4
1. Better current practices search for the change man" decisions practices of break
3. 5 better competitiveness thanks toA a solid kno!ledge of the competition a strong
implication of the staff ne! ideas on practices and tried techni&ues.
Benchmarking has conse&uences !hich are be"ond the process itselfA it reforms all
the levels of the compan"B modifies the process of manufacture of the product
leads;driver=B also reforms the hierarchical organi)ation of the compan" the
product itself and the state of mind of the emplo"ees.
MANPOWER PLANNING
#%anpo!erC or #?uman ResourceC ma" be thought of as #the total kno!ledgeC skills
creative abilities talents and aptitudes of an organi)ation>s !ork force as !ell as the
values attitudes and benefits of an individual involvedDDD It is the sum total of
inherent abilities ac&uired kno!ledge and skills represented b" the talent and aptitudes of
the emplo"ed persons.C Ef all the #%sC in management ;i.e. the management of materials
machines methods mone" motive po!er= the most important is #%C for men or human
resources. It is the most valuable asset of an organi)ation and not the mone" or ph"sical
e&uipment.
?uman resources are utili)ed to the ma8imum possible e8tent in order to achieve
individual an organi)ational goals. 5n organi)ation>s performance and resulting
productivit" are directl" proportional to the &uantit" and &ualit" of its human resources.
?uman resource or manpo!er planning is #the process b" !hich a management
determines ho! an organi)ation should move from its current manpo!er position to its
desired manpo!er position. FThrough planning a management strives to have the right
number and the right kind of people at the right places at the right time to do things
+
!hich result in both the organi)ation and the individual receiving the ma8imum long,
range benefit.
?uman resource planning consists of a series of activities vi).
5. Gorecasting future manpo!er re&uirements either in terms of mathematical
projections of trends in the economic environment an development in industr" or
in terms of judgmental estimates based upon the specific future plans of a
compan"B
B. %aking an inventor" of present manpo!er resources and assessing the e8tent to
!hich these resources are emplo"ed optimall"B
6. 5nticipating manpo!er problems b" projecting present resources in the future and
comparing them !ith the forecast of re&uirements to determine their ade&uac"
both &uantitativel" and &ualitativel"B and
2. Planning the necessar" programme of re&uirement selection training
development utili)ation transfer promotion motivation and compensation to
ensure that future manpo!er re&uirements are properl" met.
Manpower Planning Process
%anpo!er planning fulfills individual organi)ational and national goals. The main
purpose is one of matching or fitting emplo"ee>s abilities to enterprise re&uirements !ith
an emphasis on future instead of present arrangements.
Thus manpo!er planning involves forecasting manpo!er re&uirement preparing
manpo!er inventor" to assess the internal suppl" of manpo!er identification of
manpo!er gap !hich ma" be in the form of either surplus or shortage of manpo!er and
designing action plans for bridging this gap. Ergani)ational objectives and plans provide
base for manpo!er planning so that it is linked !ith the former.
/
Organizational Objectives and Plans:
The starting point of an" activit" in an organi)ation is its objectives !hich generate
various plans and policies !hich provide direction for future course of action. Eut
of this direction various subs"stems of the organi)ation devise their o!n plans and
programmes. Thus each subs"stems plans and programmes are linked to
organi)ational plans and policies. To the e8tent this linkage is not proper a
subs"stem>s contribution to the achievement organi)ational objectives is adversel"
affected. This is true !ith manpo!er planning too. @hile going through its
process therefore organi)ational policies !ith regard to effective utili)ation of
human resources should be identified and incorporated in planning process.
Forecasting anpo!er "e#$irement:
The first essential ingredient of manpo!er planning is the forecasting needs for
human resources in an organi)ation over a period of time. Gorecasting of human
resource re&uirements serves the follo!ing purposesA
1. To &uantif" the jobs necessar" for producing a given number of goodsB or
offering a given amount of serviceB
*. To determine !hat staff,mi8 is desirable in the futureB
0. To assess appropriate staffing levels in different parts of the organi)ation
so as to avoid unnecessar" costB
1. To prevent shortages of people !here and !hen the" are needed mostB and
3. To monitor compliance !ith legal re&uirements !ith regard to reservation
of jobs.
Preparing anpo!er %nventory:
Inventor" is a term !hich is normall" used to counting of tangible objects like ra!
materials and finished goods etc. In the same !a" inventor" of human resources can also
-
be prepared. The basic purpose of preparing manpo!er inventor" is to find out the si)e
and &ualit" of personnel available !ithin the organi)ation to man various positions. 9ver"
organi)ation !ill have t!o major sources of suppl" of manpo!erA internal and e8ternal.
a= %nternal labo$r s$pply: 5 profile of emplo"ees in terms of age se8
education training e8perience job level past performance and future
potentials should be kept read" for use !henever re&uired. Re&uirements in
terms of gro!th'diversification internal movement of emplo"ees must also
be assessed in advance.
b= &'ternal labo$r s$pply: @hen the organi)ation gro!s rapidl" diversifies
into ne!er areas of operations ;merchant banking capital market
operations mutual funds etc. in case of a bank= or !hen it is not able to
find the people internall" to fill the vacancies it has to look into outside
sources.
%dentification of anpo!er (ap:
%anpo!er gap is the difference bet!een manpo!er re&uired at a particular time and the
personnel being available at that particular time. This gap can be identified on the basis of
forecasts for human resource needs and suppl". This gap should be measured in respect of
various t"pes of personnel because mere aggregate &uantitative gap !ould not serve much
purpose. This gap ma" be of t!o t"pesA surplus human resources and shortage of human
resources. Based on the anal"sis of this gap action plans must be developed to overcome
this gap.
Action Plans:
:arious action plans are devised to bridge human resource gap. If there is surplus of
human resources either because of improper manpo!er planning in the past or because of
change in organi)ational plan such as divestment of business or closing do!n some
businesses because of various reasons action plans ma" be devised to prune their si)e
1.
through la"off voluntar" retirement etc. If there is shortage of human resources action
plan ma" be devised to recruit additional personnel.

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
The Recruitment and Selection process promotes successful hiring decisions that can trul"
impact the success of the organi)ation.
The selection of a candidate !ith the right combination of education !ork e8perience
attitude and creativit" !ill not onl" increase the &ualit" and stabilit" of the !orkforce it
!ill also pla" a large role in bringing management strategies and planning to fruition.
Recruitment
Recruitment forms the first stage in the process !hich continues !ith selection and ceases
!ith the placement of the candidate. It is the ne8t step in the procurement junction the
first being the manpo!er planning. Recruitment makes it possible to ac&uire the number
and t"pes of people necessar" to ensure the continued operation of the organi)ation.
Recruiting is the discovering of potential applicants for actual or anticipated
organizational vacancies. In other words, it is a linking activity` bringing together
those with jobs and those seeking jobs.C
Factors affecting recruitment
Gactors governing recruitment ma" broadl" be divided as internal and e8ternal factors.
The internal factors areA
i. Recruiting polic" of the organi)ationB
ii. ?uman resource planning strateg" of the compan"B
iii. Si)e of the organi)ation and number of emplo"ees emplo"edB
iv. 6ost involved in recruiting emplo"ees and finall"B
v. Hro!th and e8pansion plans of the organi)ation.
1*
The e8ternal factors areA
i. Suppl" and demand of specific skills in the labour marketB
ii. Political and legal consideration such as reservation of jobs for S6s STs and so
onB
iii. 6ompan">s image,perception of the job seekers about the compan".
Sources of recruitment
Before an organi)ation activit" begins recruiting applicants it should consider the most
likel" source of the t"pe of emplo"ee it needs. Some companies tr" to develop ne!
sources !hile most onl" tr" to tackle the e8isting sources the" have. These sources
accordingl" ma" be termed as internal and e8ternal.
Internal Sources:
Recruiting ma" be hiring to mind emplo"ment agencies and classified ads but current
emplo"ees are often the best source of candidates. These include personnel alread" on the
pa",roll of an organi)ation i.e. its present !orking force !henever an" vacanc" occurs
somebod" from !ithin the organi)ation is upgraded transferred promoted or sometimes
demoted. This source also includes personnel !ho !here once of the pa",roll of the
compan" but !ho plan to return or !hom the compan" !ould like to rehire such as those
on leave of absence those !ho &uit voluntaril" or those on production la",offs.
External Sources:
Girms can not al!a"s get all the emplo"ees the" need from their current staff and
sometimes the" just don>t !ant to. . @e !ill look at the sources firms use to find outside
candidates ne8t. Iormall" follo!ing outside sources are utili)ed for different positions.
Advertisement: 9ver"one is familiar !ith emplo"ment ads and most of us have probabl"
responded to one or more. It is the most effective means to search potential emplo"ees
from outside the organi)ation. 9mplo"ment advertisement in journals ne!spapers
10
bulletins etc. is &uite common in our countr". 5n advertisement contains brief statement
of the nature of jobs the t"pe of people re&uired and procedure for appl"ing for these
jobs.
&mployment Agencies: %an" organi)ations get the information about the prospective
candidates through emplo"ment agencies. In our countr" t!o t"pes of emplo"ment
agencies are operating. These areA
5. Public agencies operated b" federal state or local governmentsB
B. Private emplo"ment agencies
A. P$blic employment agencies: There are emplo"ment e8changes run b" the
government almost in all districts. The emplo"ment seekers get themselves
registered !ith these e8changes. Iormall" such e8changes provide candidates
for lo!er positions.
B. Private employment agencies: Private emplo"ment agencies are important
sources on clerical !hite,collar and managerial personnel. The" charge fees
;set b" state la! and posted in their offices= for each applicant the" place.
On )amp$s "ecr$itment: %an" organi)ations conduct preliminar" search of prospective
emplo"ees b" conducting intervie!s at the campuses of various institutes universities and
colleges. This source is &uite useful for selecting people to the posts of management
trainees technical supervisor scientist and technicians. The organi)ation hold preliminar"
intervie!s on the campus on the predetermined date and candidates found suitable are
called further intervie!s at specified places.
"eferrals and *alk+ %ns: #9mplo"ee referralsC campaigns are another option. The
firm posts announcements of openings and re&uests for referrals in its bulletin and on its
!allboards and intranetB pri)es or cash re!ards that culminate in hiring. 9mplo"ee
referrals have been the source of almost half of all hires at 5merica 6redit since the firm
kicked off its #"ou>ve got friends !e !ant to meet themC emplo"ee referrals program.
9mplo"ees making a referral receive J1. a!ards !ith the pa"ments spread over a "ear.

e8ample gets over 1... resumes a da" from prospective candidates through the Iet. The
?R manager has to ke" in his or her re&uirement and Fprofiles> of candidates from the
compan">s database get generated. There are a variet" of !ebsites available, in addition to
a compan">s o!n !ebsite, !here applicants can submit their resumes and potential
emplo"ers can check for &ualified applicants. ;such as ;i= !!!.jobsahead.com ;ii=
!!!.headhunters.com ;iii= !!!.naukri.com ;iv= !!!.monsterindia.com ;v=
!!!.timesjob.com etc.=
Selection
The si)e of the labor market the image of a compan" the place of posting the nature of
job the compensation package and a host of other factors influence the manner in !hich
job aspirants are likel" to respond to the recruiting efforts of a compan". Through the
process of recruitment a compan" tries to locate prospective emplo"ees and encourages
them to appl" for vacancies at various levels. Recruiting thus provides a pool of
applicants for selection.
#Selection is the process of picking individuals who have relevant qualifications to
fill jobs in an organization. The basic purpose is to choose the individual who can
most successfully perform the job, from the pool of qualified candidates.
Selection Procedure
The selection procedure is concerned !ith securing relevant information about an
applicant. This information is secured in a number of steps or stages. The objective of
selection process is to determine !hether an applicant meets the &ualifications for a
specific job and to choose the applicant !ho is most likel" to perform !ell in that job. The
13
hiring procedure is not a single act but it is essentiall" a series of methods or steps or
stages b" !hich additional information is secured about the applicant.
Steps in Selection Procedure
There is no shortcut to an accurate evaluation of a candidate. The hiring procedure is
therefore generall" long and complicated. %an" emplo"ers make use of such techni&ues
and pseudo,sciences as phrenolog" ph"siognom" astrolog" grapholog" etc. !hile
coming to hire decision. ?o!ever in modern times these are considered to be unreliable
measures.
The follo!ing is a popular though it ma" be modified to suit individual situationA

3. 5 ph"sical e8amination,health and stamina>s are vital factors in successB
4. 5 reference checkB
+. Ginal selection approval b" %anager and communication of the decision to the
candidate.
14
1. Reception, Initial or Preliminary Interview Or Screening
The initial screening is usuall" conducted b" a special intervie!er to a high caliber
receptionist in the emplo"ment office. This intervie! is essentiall" a sorting process in
!hich prospective applicants are given the necessar" information about the nature of the
jobs in the organi)ation. The necessar" information then elicited from the candidates
relating to their education e8perience skill salar" demanded the reasons for leaving their
present jobs their job interests and !hether the" are available for the job their ph"sical
appearance age #driveC and facilit" in speech. If a candidate meets !ith the re&uirements
of the organi)ational structure he is eliminated at the preliminar" stage.
2. Application Blank or Application Form
5n application blank is a traditional !idel" accepted device for getting information. 6orn
a prospective applicant !hich !ill enable a management to make a proper selection.
It is a good means of &uickl" collecting verifiable ;and therefore fairl" accurate= basic
historical data from the candidate. The information re&uired to be given in the applicant>s
o!n hand !riting is needed to identif" him properl" and to dra! tentative inferences about
his suitabilit" for emplo"ment. %an" t"pes of application forms, some times ver" long
and comprehensive and sometimes brief, are used. Information is generall" called on the
follo!ing items.
a. Biographical 2ata
b. 9ducation 5ttainment
c. @ork 98perience
d. Salar"
e. Personal Items
f. Ether ItemsA Iames and addresses of previous emplo"ers reference etc.
1+
3. Selection Test:
%an" organi)ations hold different kinds of selection tests to kno! more about the
candidates or to reject the candidates !ho cannot be called for intervie! etc. Selection
tests normall" supplement the information provided in the application forms. Such forms
ma" contain factual information about candidates. Selection tests ma" give information
about their aptitude interest personalit" etc. !hich cannot be kno!n b" application
forms.
4. Interview:
Intervie! is the oral e8amination of candidates for emplo"ment. This is the most essential
step in the selection process. In this step the intervie!er tries to obtain and s"nthesise
information about the abilities of the intervie!ee and the re&uirements of the job. Several
t"pes of intervie!s are commonl" used depending on the nature and importance of the
position to be filled !ithin an organi)ation. These are Structured Intervie! Ion,
Structured Intervie! Situational Intervie! Behavioural Intervie! Panel Intervie! Stress
Intervie! etc.
5. Medical Examination:
%edical e8amination is carried out to ascertain the ph"sical standards and fitness of
prospective emplo"ees. %edical 98amination can give the follo!ing informationA
@hether the applicant is medicall" suitable for the specific job or notB
@hether the applicant>s ph"sical measurements are in accordance !ith job
re&uirements or not.
But some organi)ations use this t"pe of test.
1/
6. Reference Checks:
The use of references is common in most selection procedures for it involves onl" a little
time and mone" and minimum of effort. The procedure places reliance on the evaluation
of former emplo"ers friends and professional personnel. 6hecks on references are made
b" mail or b" telephone and occasionall" or b" using reference form.
7. Hiring Decision:
The (ine %anager concerned has to make the final decision no!, !hether to select or
reject a candidate after soliciting the re&uired information through different techni&ues.
5fter taking the final decision the organi)ation has to intimate this decision to successful

RATIONALE STUDY
Samsung is a globall" kno!n consumer electronic compan". It is a !orld famous big
compan". In order to run an" compan" !e search right candidate for the right job. It is
the initial step to run an" compan" because emplo"ees are the most important asset of an"
organi)ation. The success or failure of an organi)ation is largel" dependent on the caliber
of the people !orking therein. That>s the reason I have chosen this topic and secondl" it is
major part of ?R !hich is m" subject of interest.
@ith the help of this topic I !ant to kno! about the recruitment and selection policies of
the companies and tr" to make more effective in Samsung. 5nd it !ould be helpful for me
for the future perspective.

CHAPTER-4
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Information Value of Recruitment and Selection

In earl" recruitment stage organi)ations have to make several important decisions
concerning the characteristics of the information the" provide. The medium the level of
accurac" or realism the amount and nature of the information might all affect both pre,
hire outcomes ;e.g. prospects> !illingness to appl"= and post,hire outcomes ;e.g. earl"
turnover=.
Realistic job previe!s ;RNPs= are undoubtedl" the most !ell,kno!n recruitment
procedure pertaining to provision of information. Through the use of RNPs both favorable
and unfavorable information is provided to applicants in order to reduce post,hire
turnover. In the first published account of a RNP e8periment more than 1. "ears ago
;@eit) 1-34= lauded the potential usefulness of having potential emplo"ees> e8pectations
as realistic as possible.
2uring this research e&uivocal accounts of the effectiveness rationale and related
techni&ues devised to improve a variet" of organi)ational outcomes ;job satisfaction
performance job tenure commitment= have been reported.
Several studies have e8amined the relationships bet!een the amount of
information provided in recruitment materials and job seekers> !illingness to appl" for the
job described ;Barber & Roehling 1--0B Hate!ood Ho!an & (autenschlager 1--0B
1.
?erriot & Roth!ell 1-/1B %ason & Belt 1-/4=. The results of these studies generall"
sho! that recruitment materials should be informativeB that the" should address a range of
job and organi)ational attributesB and that the" should provide specific information about
those attributes ;Barber 1--/=. Based upon detailed information about job re&uirements
less &ualified prospects !ill lose interest. Kualified prospects on the other hand are more
likel" to respond to ads !hen the" provide specific information on !hat the organi)ation
has to offer. ?o!ever before strong conclusions can be dra!n additional replication is
needed. %ore specificall" !e need more studies on the relationships bet!een online
advertisements and applicant attraction. Gurthermore Barber suggested that #it ma" !ell
be that the positive relationships bet!een QpotentialR applicant reactions and information
holds onl" up to a pointA if recruitment materials contain too much information the" ma"
over!helm applicants and have a less positive ;if not negative= effectC ;p. 11=.
5lso fre&uentl" reported in the recruitment literature is the positive relationship
bet!een applicant attraction and the amount of information provided b" the recruiter
during the intervie! ;?arris & Gink 1-/+B (iden & Parsons 1-/4B %aurer ?o!e & (ee
1--*B Po!ell 1-/1B R"nes & %iller 1-/0B Turban & 2oughert" 1--*=. Thus
informative recruiters are generall" preferred to uninformative ones. Set recruiters are
unlikel" to present e8ceptionall" large amounts of information about the organi)ation
since the" have to ac&uire information about the applicant>s &ualifications as !ell !ithin
the limited time available ;Schreurs et al. in press=.
%an" studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship bet!een applicants>
perceptions of recruiter traits and behaviors and their perceptions of the organi)ation itself.
There is plent" of evidence indicating that recruiter traits ;e.g. !armth empath"
sincerit"= and recruiter behaviors ;e.g. informative ness job kno!ledge= have a direct
influence on applicant attraction ;e.g. ?arris & Gink 1-/+B Po!ell 1--1=. %ore recent
research ho!ever suggests that this effect is full" mediated b" applicants> perceptions of
job and organi)ational attributes ;e.g. Turban *..1B Turban Gorret & ?endrickson
1--/=. 5s !ith recruiters selection procedures are believed to provide signals about the
compan">s broader characteristics ;e.g. efficienc" profitabilit"=. It is suggested that
virtuall" all pre,screening and selection methods conve" some sort of information to the
applicant ;5nderson *..1B 5nderson & Estroff 1--+=. Gor instance selection methods
11
ma" inform applicants on job activities !ork roles personnel procedures and the
organi)ational conte8t including its goals values and climate ;5nderson & Estroff 1--+B
Iles & Robertson 1--+=. Ebviousl" some selection methods are more informative than
others. Situational intervie!s being constructed from critical job,relevant incidents and
realistic job previe!s in principle pose candidates !ith a number of highl" relevant and
informative scenarios. 6ognitive abilit" tests and personalit" tests on the other hand
conve" less information.
Choice of Recruitment Source
Research on job information sources has usuall" made a distinction bet!een
formal versus informal recruitment sources. Gormal job information sources involve the
use of formal intermediaries such as placement offices and recruitment advertisements. In
contrast informal job information sources do not involve the use of formal intermediaries
;e.g. friends and relatives=. Barber ;1--/= gave the follo!ing overvie! of the various
recruitment sourcesA #Traditional sources include emplo"ee referrals emplo"ment
agencies ;including campus placement offices and e8ecutive search firms= ne!spaper or
radio advertisements and unsolicited applications or #!alk,insC. %ore recentl"
organi)ations have turned to alternative sources such as on,line ;internet= hiring services
job fairs and competitors> la"offs' outsourcing programs as means of identif"ing
candidates ;Hlickstein & Ramer 1-//=C ;p. **=.
The relationship bet!een recruitment sources and post,hire outcomes is one of the
most intensel" researched aspects of recruitment. Interestingl" little is kno!n about the
relationship bet!een recruitment sources and more pro8imal recruitment outcomes such
as the identification and attraction of applicants ;Barber 1--/=. Hiven the scope of this
paper I !ill concentrate on the relationship bet!een recruitment sources and turnover.
%ost studies on the effectiveness of recruitment sources have found that applicants !ho
!ere recruited along Finformal> recruitment sources ;e.g. rehires referred applicants
!alk,ins= tend to have lo!er turnover than applicants hired via Fformal> sources ;e.g.
ne!spaper ads emplo"ment agencies= ;Blau 1--.B Breaugh 1-/1B Breaugh & %ann

Reid 1-+*B Saks 1--1B Ollman 1-44B in R"nes 1--1=. Ether studies have provided onl"
moderate support for this. 6ald!ell and Spive" ;1-/0= for instance found that for @hite
emplo"ees informal recruitment sources ;e.g. emplo"ee referrals in,store notices= !ere
associated !ith longer tenure. Gor Black emplo"ees on the other hand more formal
sources ;e.g. emplo"ment agencies media announcements= !ere associated !ith longer
tenure. Ether studies failed to find a positive relationship bet!een referrals and emplo"ee
tenure ;(innehan & Blau *..0B S!aroff Barcla" & Bass 1-/3B Ta"lor & Schmidt
1-/0=.
%ndivid$al differences hypothesis
5ccording to this h"pothesis formulated b" Sch!ab ;1-/*= applicants
dra!n from alternative sources constitute samples from different applicant populations.
This means that recruitment sources might differ in the kind of applicants the" reach and
that these differences in applicants might result in different post,hire outcomes such as job
tenure ;Barber 1--/=. 2ifferences in applicants usuall" bear reference to demographic
characteristics ;e.g. age location educational level= instead of ps"chological criteria
such as motivation despite the theoretical importance of the latter ;Bu"ens 2e @itte &
%artens *..1=. Gor e8ample ;from Ta"lor & Schmidt 1-/0 p. 013= a recruitment
advertisement aired onl" on da"time television !ould be e8pected to reach a different
group of people than !ould a radio advertisement broadcast during heav" commuting
hours. Presumabl" individuals recruited from different sources var" in abilities affecting
job performance as !ell as in values influencing job satisfaction and related participation
behaviors e.g. attendance and tenure.
&mpirical "esearch on /o$rce &ffects
Ta"lor and Schmidt ;1-/0= tested the realistic information and individual
differences h"potheses on a sample of packaging plant emplo"ees. Selected individual
characteristics ;e.g. height !eight shift preference= !ere included in the research to test
the latter h"pothesis. 6haracteristics !ere chosen because of their anticipated relationship

to the dependent variables ;attendance performance and organi)ational tenure=. The
results sho!ed that recruitment sources ;referrals ne!spaper ads public emplo"ment

Breaugh and %ann ;1-/1= also tested individual differences and
realism as competing h"potheses. The sample for their stud" consisted of -/ social service

difference variables ;demographics applicant &ualit" and perceived ease of movement=
!as also gathered. It !as found that direct applicants had higher performance and slightl"
better retention than applicants recruited through other sources. It !as also found that
emplo"ee referrals ;retrospectivel"= reported having more realistic e8pectations than did
the other sources supporting the realism h"pothesis. 6oncerning the individual differences
h"pothesis applicant &ualit" and perceived ease of movement !ere not found to differ
across sources.
Blau ;1--.= using a sample of bank tellers e8amined the
relationship bet!een four recruitment sources ;ne!spaper direct applicants' !alk,ins and

performance than applicants recruited through other sources. In addition it !as found that
direct applicants had higher abilit" scores than applicants from other sources supporting
the individual differences h"pothesis. (ess support !as found for the realism h"pothesis
in that referrals not !alk,ins had the most realistic kno!ledge at the time of hire. 5s did
Breaugh and %ann ;1-/1= Blau used a retrospective measure to assess the realism of
information.
Hriffeth et al. ;1--+= used structural e&uations modeling ;S9%= anal"ses to test
the realism and individual differences h"potheses in a sample of **1 ne!l" hired nurses.
In addition the" used a greater variet" of indicators of realism than are t"picall"
emplo"ed assessing not onl" met e8pectations but also role clarit" commitment to job
choice and coping skills. The results sho!ed that recruitment sources !ere associated
!ith individual differences and also !ith realism. Gurthermore realism !as found to
11
mediate source influence. School and !alk,in sources influenced coping efficac"
commitment to job choice and role clarit". There realism processes in turn affected most
!orkplace outcomes ;e.g. job satisfaction !ithdra!al cognitions and turnover=.
?o!ever the stud" also found direct effects of recruiting source on post,hire outcomes.
5s a result of this finding Hriffeth et al. concluded that more research on mediating
processes is needed.
Conclusion
The relationship bet!een recruitment sources and turnover has been studied
intensivel" in the past. Everall the accumulated evidence suggests that such relationships
are &uite !eak ;@illiams (abig & Stone 1--0=. In light of these findings optimi)ing a
valid predictor,based selection strateg" is probabl" more profitable than focusing on
negligible relationships bet!een recruitment sources and turnover ;@illiams et al. 1--0

9ffective Recruitment and Selection is the initial step and the most important ke" point
to run an" organi)ation. The success or failure of an organi)ation is largel" dependent on
the caliber of the people !orking therein. @ithout positive and creative contributions
from people organi)ation cannot progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goals or
perform the activities of an organi)ation therefore !e need to recruit people !ith
re&uisite skills &ualifications and e8perience. Someone sa"s that
1etter recr$itment and selection strategies res$lt in improved
Organizational o$tcomes. 0he more effectively organizations recr$it
and select candidates8 the more likely they are to hire and retain
satisfied employees.

selection polic" in o!n organi)ation in comparison !ith other companies. So here !e
conclude that Samsung needs slight improvement in the procedure of Recruitment and
Selection. Girstl" compan" needs to concentrate on gro!th opportunities for the
emplo"ees because toda">s tight labor market is making it more difficult for
organi)ations to find recruit and select talented people. The competition for talent is
intensif"ing as there are fe!er &ualified applicants available. This shortage of applicants
makes it all the more important for organi)ations to be able to effectivel" attract select
and retain &ualit" candidates.
Ergani)ation needs to improve the selection criteria for selection !hether it the post of
manager associate& staff supervisor etc. The" should fi8 some parameters to select the
candidates for specific position.
