RECRUITMENT

Introduction:
Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and
simulating them to apply for job in an organization. It is linking activity that brings
together those offering job and those seeking job. Recruitment is the adequate
manpower resources it involves the certain of pool of available labour upon whom.
Recruitment refers to the attempt of getting interested applicant and providing a
pool of prospective employee so that the management can select the right person
for right job from this pool. Recruitment precedes the selection process i.e.
selection of right candidate for various positions in the organization.
Responsibility for Recruitment
In small organization, the owner or manager usually does recruitment rather
informally. In large organization, the human resource department is usually
responsible for developing source of applicant. Within the human resource
department there is likely to be an employment office to do the recruiting and even
initial selection of candidate for a job.

Big organizations employing large number of professional and managerial

employees, may have a separate department engaged entirely in recruiting. At the
same time, individual manager and employee through out the organization may be
referring promising applicant to the personal department. Similarly, the human
resource department may be requesting recruitment assistance from individual
managers, as may be the case when recruitment will take place at the aim of a
matter of one of the line manager. Still other firms prefer to put together recruiting
teams consisting of human resource, specialist and operating personal When
recruiting for engineering personal from technical institution.

Regardless of who does the recruiting, it is important for one department to

coordinate the recruitment function in order to develop adequate, avoid
duplication, and ensure that human resource needs for the whole organization are
met.

PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE:

The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job
candidates. Specifically, the purposes are to;
1 Determine the present and future requirement of the organization in
conjunction with its personnel planning and job analysis activity.

2 Increase the pool of job seeking candidate at minimum cost.

3 Helps in increase success rate of selection process by reducing the number

of visibly under qualified and over qualified job applicants.

4 Meet the organization’s legal and social obligations regarding the

composition of its workforce.

5 Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be

appropriate candidates.

6 Increase organization and individual effectiveness in short term and long

term.

SOURCE OF RECRUITMENT:

The various sources of recruitment are used in the organization. But the two type
of sources are mainly used:

1 Internal sources (Recruitment with in enterprises)

2 External Sources (Recruitment from outside)

Internal Sources:
Two important internal sources of recruitment are Transfer and promotion.
Transfer involves the shifting of an employee from one job to another. At the time
of transfer it is ensured that the employee to be transferred to the new job is
capable of performing it. In fact, transfer does not involve any drastic change in
responsibility and status of the employee. On the other hand, Permotion lead to
shifting an employee from a higher position carrying higher responsibilities,
facilities, status and pay.

Many companies follow the practice of filling higher job by promoting employees
who are considered fit for such positions. Filling vacancies in higher job by
promoting employees who are considered fit for such positions. Filling vacancies
in higher jobs from with in the organization has the following merits;

1 Employees are motivated to improve their performance

2 Moral of the employee is increased.
3 Industrial peace prevails in the enterprise.
4 Filling of job internally is cheaper as compared to getting candidates from
external sources.
External Sources:
Every enterprise has to tap external sources for various positions. The following
external sources of recruitment are commonly used by enterprises:

1 Direct Recruitment
2 Unsolicited Application
3 Media Advertisement
4 Employment Agencies
5 Recommendations
6 Labour Contractor

Direct Requirement:
An important source of recruitment is direct recruitment by placing a notice on
notice board of the enterprises specifying the detail of jobs available. It is known as
recruitment at factory gate. The practice of direct recruitment is generally followed
for filling casual vacancies requiring unskilled worker. Such worker are known as
casual or badly worker and they are paid remuneration on daily wage bases.

Unsolicited Application:
Some organizations which are regarded as good employers draw a steady stream of
unsolicited applications in their office. This service is valuable source of
manpower. If adequate attention is paid to maintain pending application folder for
various jobs, the Personal Department may find the unsolicited application useful
in filling the vacancies whenever they arise. The merit of the sources of
recruitment is that it avoids the course of recruiting workforce from other sources.
Media Advertisement:
Advertisement in newspapers or trade and professional journals is generally used
when qualified and experienced personnel are not available from other sources.
Most of the senior positions in the industry are filled by this method. The
advantage of advertising is that more information about organization, job
description and job specifications can be given in advertisement to allow self
screening by the prospective candidates. Advertisement gives the management a
wider range of candidates, from which management can choose best candidate. Its
advantage is that it bring in a flood of response, and many times from quite
unsuitable candidates.

Employment Agencies:
Employment run by the government are regarded as good source of recruitment for
unskilled, semi skilled and skilled operative jobs. In some cases, compulsory
notification of vacancies to the employment exchange brings the job givers in
contact with the job seekers. However, in technical and professional areas, private
agencies and professional bodies appear to be doing most of the work..
Employment Exchanges and selected private agencies provide a nation wide
service in attempting to match the demand and supply.

Recommendations:
Application introduced by friends and relatives may prove to be good source of
recruitment and indeed, many employers prefer to take such persons because
something about their back ground is known. When a present employee or a
business friend recommends a person, a type of preliminary screening take place
some organizations have agreement with the union of employees to give preference
to relatives of existing or retired employees if their qualification and experience
suite the recruitment of vacant jobs.

Labour Contractor:
Labour contractors are an important sources of recruitment in many industries in
India. Workers are recruited through labour contractors who are themselves
employees of the organization. The disadvantage of this system is that if the
contractor himself decides to leave the organization, the entire worker employed
through him will follow suit. However, this system of recruitment is gaining
popularity these days. Scientific selection and placement of personnel will be a
long way towards building up a suitable work force. It will lower the rate of
absenteeism and labour turnover and will increase the moral of employees. The
organization will be able to achieve its objective effectively.
SELECTION

The process of selection leads to employment of person having the ability and
qualification to perform the job, Which have fallen vacant in the organization. It
divides the candidates for employment into two categories, namely, those who
offered employment and those will not be. This process could be called rejection
since more candidates may be turned away that are hired. That is why, Selection is
frequently described as a negative process in contrast with the positive process of
recruitment. The basic purpose of selection is choosing right type of candidates to
various positions in the organization. In order to achieve this purpose, a well
organized selection procedure involves many steps and at each step more
information is obtained about the candidates.

SELECTION V/S RECRUITMENT

Selection is the process of choosing or picking up the most suitable candidates out
of many available or interested. It is the process of selecting few and rejection the
unwanted applicants. Recruitment is a positive function which aim at increasing
the selection ratio that is the number of applicants available per job. The selection
process is a negative function as it attempts to eliminate unsuitable applicant,
leaving only the best to be taken in the organization. Both recruitment and
selection are the two phases of the same process. Recruitment being the first
phases envisages taking decision on the choice of tapping the source of labour
supply. Selection is the second phase which involves giving various type of test to
candidates and interviewing them in order to select the suitable candidates.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTION
Selection is critical process because it requires a heavy investment of money to get
right type of people. Induction and training cost are also high. If the right type of
persons is not chosen, it will lead to hug loss of the employers in term of time,
money and efforts. Therefore it is essential to devise a suitable selection procedure,
each step in the selection procedure should help in getting more and more
information about the applicants to facilitate decision making in the area of
selection.

Absenteeism and employee turnover are the problems, which are being faced by
the organization in which the selection procedure is not well defined. This occurs
whenever unsuitable employee are appointed, the efficiency of the organization
will go down. Such employees are appointed; the efficiency of the organization
will go down. Such employees will shirk work and absent themselves from the
work more often, They may also be compelled to leave their jobs. If this happens
all the expenses incurred on the selection and training will go waste.

 INDUSTRY PROFILE

India is the second largest manufacturer and producer of two-wheelers in the

world. It stands next only to Japan and China in terms of the number of two-
wheelers produced and domestic sales respectively. This distinction was achieved
due to variety of reasons like restrictive policy followed by the Government of
India towards the passenger car industry, rising demand for personal transport,
inefficiency in the public transportation system etc.

The Indian two-wheeler industry made a small beginning in the early 50s when
Automobile Products of India (API) started manufacturing scooters in the country.
Until 1958, API and Enfield were the sole producers.

In 1948, Bajaj Auto began trading in imported Vespa scooters and three-wheelers.
Finally, in 1960, it set up a shop to manufacture them in technical collaboration
with Piaggio of Italy. The agreement expired in 1971.

In the initial stages, the scooter segment was dominated by API, it was later
overtaken by Bajaj Auto. Although various government and private enterprises
entered the fray for scooters, the only new player that has lasted till today is LML.
Under the regulated regime, foreign companies were not allowed to operate in
India. It was a complete seller market with the waiting period for getting a scooter
from Bajaj Auto being as high as 12 years.
The motorcycles segment was no different, with only three manufacturers viz
Enfield, Ideal Jawa and Escorts. While Enfield bullet was a four-stroke bike, Jawa
and the Rajdoot were two-stroke bikes. The motorcycle segment was initially
dominated by Enfield 350cc bikes and Escorts 175cc bike.

The two-wheeler market was opened to foreign competition in the mid-80s. And
the then market leaders - Escorts and Enfield - were caught unaware by the
onslaught of the 100cc bikes of the four Indo-Japanese joint ventures. With the
availability of fuel efficient low power bikes, demand swelled, resulting in Hero
Honda - then the only producer of four stroke bikes (100cc category), gaining a top
slot.

The first Japanese motorcycles were introduced in the early eighties. TVS Suzuki
and Hero Honda brought in the first two-stroke and four-stroke engine motorcycles
respectively. These two players initially started with assembly of CKD kits, and
later on progressed to indigenous manufacturing. In the 90s the major growth for
motorcycle segment was brought in by Japanese motorcycles, which grew at a rate
of nearly 25% CAGR in the last five years.

The industry had a smooth ride in the 50s, 60s and 70s when the Government
prohibited new entries and strictly controlled capacity expansion. The industry saw
a sudden growth in the 80s. The industry witnessed a steady growth of 14%
leading to a peak volume of 1.9mn vehicles in 1990.

The entry of Kinetic Honda in mid-eighties with a variometric scooter helped in

providing ease of use to the scooter owners. This helped in inducing youngsters
and working women, towards buying scooters, who were earlier inclined towards
moped purchases. In the 90s, this trend was reversed with the introduction of
scooterettes. In line with this, the scooter segment has consistently lost its part of
the market share in the two-wheeler market.

In 1990, the entire automobile industry saw a drastic fall in demand. This resulted
in a decline of 15% in 1991 and 8% in 1992, resulting in a production loss of
0.4mn vehicles. Barring Hero Honda, all the major producers suffered from
recession in FY93 and FY94. Hero Honda showed a marginal decline in 1992.
The reasons for recession in the sector were the incessant rise in fuel prices, high
input costs and reduced purchasing power due to significant rise in general price
level and credit crunch in consumer financing. Factors like increased production in
1992, due to new entrants coupled with the recession in the industry resulted in
companies either reporting losses or a fall in profits.

India is one of the very few countries manufacturing three-wheelers in the world. It
is the world's largest manufacturer and seller of three-wheelers. Bajaj Auto
commands a monopoly in the domestic market with a market share of above 80%,
the rest is shared by Bajaj Tempo, Greaves Ltd and Scooters India.

The total number of registered two-wheelers and three-wheelers on road in India,

as on March 31, 1998 was 27.9mn and 1.7mn respectively. The two wheeler
population has almost doubled in 1996 from a base of 12.6mn in 1990.
