Recruitment and Selection

The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource
department and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the
competitive strength and the strategic advantage for the organizations. Recruitment
process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging
and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time. A general
recruitment process is as follows:

1. Identifying the vacancy-The recruitment process begins with the human


resource department receiving requisitions for recruitment from any
department of the company. These contain:
 Posts to be filled
 Number of persons
 Duties to be performed
 Qualifications required
 Preparing the job description and person specification.
 Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of
employees (Advertising etc).
 Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required
characteristics.
 Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.
 Conducting the interview and decision making

The recruitment process is immediately followed by the selection process i.e. the

discussion. After the training program is completed the Insurance Agent has to
appear for the pre-examination conducted by IRDA. As he clear the exam he
provides a license, which is the proof of a legalized insurance Agent, which permits

Modes of Contact

E-Recruitment

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 33


Many big organizations use Internet as a source of recruitment. E- Recruitment is
the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job
vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or
curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers
place their CV’s in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective employees
depending upon their requirements.

Advantages of e-recruitment are:


 Low cost.
 No intermediaries
 Reduction in time for recruitment.
 Recruitment of right type of people.
 Efficiency of recruitment process.

The buzzword and the latest trends in recruitment is the “E-Recruitment”. Also
known as “Online recruitment”, it is the use of technology or the web based tools
to assist the recruitment process. The tool can be either a job website like
naukri.com, the organization’s corporate web site or its own intranet. Many big and
small organizations are using Internet as a source of recruitment. They advertise
job vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or
curriculum vitae (CV) through an e-mail using the Internet. Alternatively job
seekers place their CV’s in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective
employees depending upon their requirements.

The two kinds of e- recruitment that an organization can use is –

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 34


 Job portals – i.e. posting the position with the job description and the job
specification on the job portal and also searching for the suitable resumes
posted on the site corresponding to the opening in the organization.

 Creating a complete online recruitment/application section in the


company’s own website. Companies have added an application system to
its website, where the ‘passive’ job seekers can submit their resumes into
the database of the organization for consideration in future, as and when
the roles become available.

 Resume Scanners: Resume scanner is one major benefit provided by the


job portals to the organizations. It enables the employees to screen and
filter the resumes through pre-defined criteria’s and requirements (skills,
qualifications, experience, payroll etc.) of the job.

Job sites provide a 24*7 access to the database of the resumes to the employees
facilitating the just-in-time hiring by the organizations. Also, the jobs can be posted
on the site almost immediately and is also cheaper than advertising in the
employment newspapers. Sometimes companies can get valuable references
through the “passers-by” applicants. Online recruitment helps the organizations to
automate the recruitment process, save their time and costs on recruitments.

Online recruitment techniques

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 35


 Giving a detailed job description and job specifications in the job postings
to attract candidates with the right skill sets and qualifications at the first
stage.
 E-recruitment should be incorporated into the overall recruitment strategy
of the organization.
 A well defined and structured applicant tracking system should be
integrated and the system should have a back-end support.
 Along with the back-office support a comprehensive website to receive
and process job applications (through direct or online advertising) should
be developed.

2.4.1 Sources of Recruitment

Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment
processes from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources
within the organization itself (like transfer of employees from one department to
other, promotions) to fill a position are known as the internal sources of
recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other sources (like outsourcing
agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of recruitment.

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 36


SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT

Internal Sources

1. Promotions: The student reference is one the process of recruitment.

External Sources
1. Press Advertisements: Advertisements of the vacancy in newspapers
and journals are a widely used source of recruitment. The main
advantage of this method is that it has a wide reach.

2. Educational Institutes: Various management institutes, engineering


colleges, medical Colleges etc. are a good source of recruiting well
qualified executives, engineers, medical staff etc. They provide
facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source is known
as Campus Recruitment.

3. Placement Agencies: Several private consultancy firms perform


recruitment functions on behalf of client companies by charging a fee.
These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives
and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process
Outsourcing)

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 37


Factors Affecting Recruitment

The recruitment function of the organizations is affected and governed by a mix of


various internal and external forces. The internal forces or factors are the factors
that can be controlled by the organization. And the external factors are those
factors which cannot be controlled by the organization. The internal and external
forces affecting recruitment function of an organization are:

Internal Factors

The internal factors i.e. the factors which can be controlled by the organization are:

1. Recruitment Policy: The recruitment policy of an organization specifies the


objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of
recruitment program. It may involve organizational system to be developed
for implementing recruitment programs and procedures by filling up
vacancies with best qualified people.

Factors affecting recruitment policy


 Organizational objectives
 Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors.
 Government policies on reservations.
 Preferred sources of recruitment.
 Need of the organization.

Academy Of Business Management Tourism and Research. 38


 Recruitment costs and financial implications.

2. Human Resource Planning: Effective human resource planning helps in


determining the gaps present in the existing manpower of the organization. It
also helps in determining the number of employees to be recruited and what
qualification they must possess.

3. Size of the Firm: The size of the firm is an important factor in recruitment
process. If the organization is planning to increase its operations and expand
its business, it will think of hiring more personnel, which will handle its
operations.

4. Cost: Recruitment incur cost to the employer, therefore, organizations try to


employ that source of recruitment which will bear a lower cost of recruitment
to the organization for each candidate.

5. Growth and Expansion: Organization will employ or think of employing


more personnel if it is expanding its operations.

External Factors

The external forces are the forces which cannot be controlled by the organization.
The major external forces are:

1. Supply and Demand: The availability of manpower both within and outside
the organization is an important determinant in the recruitment process. If the

company has a demand for more professionals and there is limited supply in
the market for the professionals demanded by the company, then the
company will have to depend upon internal sources by providing them
special training and development programs.

2. Political-Social- Legal Environment: Various government regulations


prohibiting discrimination in hiring and employment have direct impact on
recruitment practices. For example, Government of India has introduced
legislation for reservation in employment for scheduled castes, scheduled
tribes, physically handicapped etc. Also, trade unions play important role in
recruitment. This restricts management freedom to select those individuals
who it believes would be the best performers. If the candidate can’t meet
criteria stipulated by the union but union regulations can restrict recruitment
sources.

3. Competitors: The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect the


recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition, many a
times the organizations have to change their recruitment policies according to
the policies being followed by the competitors.
