Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment and selection are two of the most important

functions of personnel management. Recruitment precedes
selection and helps in selecting a right candidate.
Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to
meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ effective
measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate
effective selection of efficient personnel.
Staffing is one basic function of management. All managers have
responsibility of staffing function by selecting the chief executive and
even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing responsibility when they
select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel manager and his
personnel department is mainly concerned with the staffing function.
Every organisation needs to look after recruitment and selection in
the initial period and thereafter as and when additional manpower is
required due to expansion and development of business activities.
‘Right person for the right job’ is the basic principle in recruitment and selection.
Ever organisation should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its
managers. The operative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly
working of an enterprise. Every business organisation/unit needs manpower for carrying
different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and
selection of suitable candidates are essential. Human resource management in an
organisation will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and employment in a
business unit.
1.1 MEANING:

RECRUITMENT

Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make

suitable arrangements for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is
understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for the
jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected.
A formal definition states, “It is the process of finding and
attracting capable applicants for the employment. The process begins
when new recruits are sought and ends when their applicants are
submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees
are selected”. In this, the available vacancies are given wide publicity and
suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a
pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection.
In recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates.
For this different source such as newspaper advertisement, employment
exchanges, internal promotion, etc.are used.

In the recruitment, a pool of eligible and interested candidates is

created for selection of most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents
the first contact that a company makes with potential employees

SELECTION

Selection is defined as the process of differentiating between

applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater
likelihood of success in a job.

who has the appropriate qualification and competency to do the job.

for a job.
And

Selection is selecting the right candidate from the pool of applicants.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research: - is a process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and

summarizing in a significant manner for the purpose of framing out
necessary conclusion and findings of data perceived and formulated
for deriving out the meaningful information. To carry our research
necessary telephonic calls needed to be done, suitable appointments
were to be fixed and therefore market survey is to be followed.

Objective of training: - To study the recruitment and selection

process of creative soft

Process: Methodology or process involving in the Research

followed during the course of summer training is as follows: -

a) Collection of data: - This is an important aspect in formulating

the objective of research process where the data is collected via two
process: - i) Primary Sources and ii) Secondary sources
i) Primary sources: - Where the data is collected primarily by
interviewing and personal observation and is original in nature and
accurate to the considerable extent.

ii) Secondary sources: -Where the data is obtained from some

published and printed sources such as newspaper, magazines, websites
and so on.

b) Analyzing of collected data: - The data collected through market

survey and published sources is then processed to obtained necessary
inferences and findings for the purpose of achieving the objective as well
as to derive necessary conclusion. A considerable skill and knowledge is
involved in analyzing the data for the purpose of interpreting thereof.

c) Interpreting of data: - it is the significant step where the data

collected and analyzed is interpreted in the forms of graphs and figures
is depicted in the report called Project report.

d) Summarizing of data: - Thereby necessary summary is prepared

which is essential in the project report of the summer training being done
under an organization.

Helpful Arms of Research Methodology: -

Questionnaire is a set or group of questions being framed for the
purpose of obtaining market perspective about a particular aspect or
topic.

There are two types questionnaire bing carried necessary for the
market survey of the summer training being undertaken and put for
the by the trainee to the sample people taken as a base for entire
population:

a) Open ended Questionnaire: - where the people (also called

respondents) are required freedom to present their views and suggestions
for the benefits and success of the organization.

b) Close ended questionnaire: - where the respondents is limited to

the choice of answer being delivered by the interviewer itself so that
quick and fast means of responses be derived out without wasting much
time. Here close ended questionnaire being followed by me during the
course of the summer training market survey.
 Sampling: - Sampling is a process of obtaining a number of
individuals taken a base for the entire population since entire
population can not be asked about the necessary objective upon
which a questionnaire is put forth needed for the responses to be
derived for the purpose of generation of facts and customer view
point regarding their perception of particular product or services.

There are two type of sampling – i) Random Sampling and ii)

Systematic sampling.

i) Random sampling: - Random sampling is a process of

selecting the sample size randomly and no choice or preference to be
made about the selection of respondents for the market survey and
questionnaire to be put forth against him. Here, Random sampling being
adopted by me.

Systematic sampling: - it is a sampling where the limited number of selected

respondents is figured out based on some criteria so that only those
respondents can be asked for the purpose of filing questionnaire. Sample
Size: -For 1to6 is 50 then is 150 respondents
