A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

INTRODUCTION

HUMAN RESOURCE:
Human resource is important for the success of any company.
Human resources are the wealth of any organization which helps in
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 4

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

achieving the goals of the organization. It reflects a new outlook which


reviews organizations manpower as its resources and assets.
The human resources are the most important assets of an
organization. The success or failure of an organization is largely
dependent on the caliber of the employees working there in. Without
positive and creative contributions from people, organizations cannot
progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goals or the activities of
an organization, therefore, they need to recruit people with requisite
skills, qualifications and experience. While doing so, they have to keep
the present as well as the future requirements of the organization in
mind.
Recruitment:
Recruitment is distinct from Employment and Selection. Once the
required number and kind of human resources are determined, the
management has to find the places where the required human
resources are/will be available and also find the means of attracting
them towards the organization before selecting suitable candidates for
jobs. All this process is generally known as recruitment. Some people
use the term Recruitment for employment. These two are not one and
the same. Recruitment is only one of the steps in the entire
employment process.
Some others use the term recruitment for selection. These are not
the same either. Technically speaking, the function of recruitment
precedes the selection function and it includes only finding, developing
the sources of prospective employees and attracting them to apply for
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 5

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

jobs in an organization, whereas the selection is the process of finding


out the most suitable candidate to the job out of the candidates
recruited.
Hiring a professional by first understanding the exact skill set and
then matching it with the various applicants resumes and then short
listing and screening the best fit out of the lot is what is required.
Understanding determining factors like education

background

certifications skills and domain type of industry work experience etc for
hiring or recruiting a right professional.
DEFINITION
Recruitment is defined as, a process to discover the sources of
manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to
employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate
numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce.
Edwin B. Floppy defined recruitment as the process of
searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for
jobs in the organization.
In order to attract people for the jobs, the organization must
communicate the position in such a way that job seekers respond. To be
cost

effective,

the

recruitment

process

should

attract

qualified

applicants and provide enough information for unqualified persons to


self-select themselves out. Thus, the recruitment process begins when
new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 6

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees


are selected.

SELECTION
Introduction
The size of the labour market, the image of the company, the
place of posting, the nature of job, the compensation package and a
host of other factors influence the manner of aspirants are likely to
respond to the recruiting efforts of the company. Through the process of
recruitment the company tries to locate prospective employees and
encourages them to apply for vacancies at various levels. Recruiting,
thus, provides a pool of applicants for selection.
Definition
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.
PURPOSES AND IMPORTANCE
The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of
potentially qualified job candidates. Specifically, the purposes are to:

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 7

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Determine

the

present

and

future

requirements

of

the

organization in conjunction with its personnel-planning and jobanalysis activities.


Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.
Help increase the success rate of the selection process by
reducing the number of visibly, under qualified or overqualified job
applicants.
Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and
selected, will leave the organization only after a short period of
time.
Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will
be appropriate candidates.
Induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the company.
Develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people
to the company.
Search or head hunt/head pouch people whose skills fit the

companys values.
Devise methodologies for assessing psychological traits.
Search for talent globally and not just within the company.
Design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum.
Anticipate and find people for positions that do not exist yet.
Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short

term and long term.


Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and
sources for all types of job applicants.
Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes
with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many
individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decide
whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and well-managed
recruiting effort will result in high-quality applicants, whereas, a
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 8

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

haphazard and piecemeal effort will result in mediocre ones. Highquality employees cannot be selected when better candidates do not
know of job openings, are not interested in working for the company
and do not apply.
The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about
employment opportunities, create a positive image of the company,
provide enough information about the jobs so that applicants can make
comparisons with their qualifications and interests, and generate
enthusiasm among the best candidates so that they will apply for the
vacant positions.
The negative consequences of a poor recruitment process speak
volumes about its role in an organization. The failure to generate an
adequate number of reasonably qualified applicants can prove costly in
several ways. It can greatly complicate the selection process and may
result in lowering of selection standards. The poor quality of selection
means extra cost on training and supervision. Furthermore, when
recruitment fails to meet the organizational needs for talent, a typical
response is to raise entry-level pay scales. This can distort traditional
wage and salary relationships in the organization, resulting in avoidable
consequences. Thus, the effectiveness of a recruitment process can
play a major role in determining the resources that must be expended
on other HR activities and their ultimate success.
The purpose of selection is to pick up the most suitable candidate
who would meet the requirements of the job in an organization best, to
find out which job applicant will be successful, if hired. To meet this
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPUR Page 9

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

goal, the company obtains and assesses information about the


applicants in terms of age, qualifications, skills, experience, etc. the
needs of the job are matched with the profile of candidates. The most
suitable person is then picked up after eliminating the unsuitable
applicants through successive stages of selection process. How well an
employee is matched to a job is very important because it is directly
affects the amount and quality of employees work. Any mismatched in
this regard can cost an organization a great deal of money, time and
trouble, especially, in terms of training and operating costs. In course of
time, the employee may find the job distasteful and leave in frustration.
He may even circulate hot news and juicy bits of negative information
about the company, causing incalculable harm to the company in the
long run. Effective election, therefore, demands constant monitoring of
the fit between people the job.
The overall aim of the recruitment and selection process is to
obtain the number and quality of employees that are required in order
for the business to achieve its objectives.

OF

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Recruitment is the process of identifying that the organization


needs to employ someone up to the point at which application forms for
the post have arrived at the organization. Selection then consists of the
processes involved in choosing from applicants a suitable candidate to
fill a post. Training consists of a range of processes involved in making
sure that job holders have the right skills, knowledge and attitudes
required to help the organization to achieve its objectives. Recruiting
individuals to fill particular posts within a business can be done either
internally by recruitment within the firm or from external sources in
order to recruit the employees. There are two types of recruitment one
is

internal

recruitment

and

the

external

recruitment.

The Recruitment and selection process consist of six stages:

Stage- 1:
Stage -2:
Stage -3:
Stage -4:
Stage -5:
Stage -6:

It is important to appreciate that recruitment is a continuous process


because of:
Changes in business requirements (e.g. new products, markets,

Changes in business location (a relocation often triggers the need
for substantial recruitment)
Promotions
FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 42

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment:1)

INTERNAL FACTORS

2)

Recruiting policy
Temporary and part-time employees
Recruitment of local citizens
Cost of recruitment
Companys growth and expansion
EXTERNAL FACTORS

Supply and Demand factors


Unemployment Rate
Political and legal considerations
Social factors
Economic factors
Technological factors

INDUCEMENTS
Organizational inducements are all the positive features and
benefits offered by an organization that serves to attract job applicants
to the organization. Three inducements need specific mention here,
they are:
Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases,
incentives and fringe benefits can all serve as inducements to
potential employees.
Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow
personally and professionally and also attract good people to the
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 43

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

organization. The feeling that the company takes care of


employee career aspirations serves as a powerful inducements to
potential employees.
Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organizations
reputation include its general treatment of employees, the nature
and quality of its products and services and its participation in
worthwhile social endeavours.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
The sources of recruitment may be broadly divided into two
categories: internal sources and external sources. Both have their own
merits and demerits. Lets examine these.
Internal Sources
Persons who are already working in an organization
constitute the internal sources.

Retrenched employees, retired

employees, dependents of deceased employees may also constitute the


internal sources.

Whenever any vacancy arises, someone from within

the organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted or even demoted.


External Sources
External sources lie outside an organization. Here the
organization can have the services of : (a) Employees working in other
organizations;

(b)

Jobs

aspirants

registered

with

employment

exchanges; (c) Students from reputed educational institutions; (d)


Candidates

referred

by

unions,

friends,

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 44

relatives

and

existing

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

employees; (e) Candidates forwarded by search firms and contractors;


(f) Candidates responding to the advertisements, issued by the
organization; and (g) Unsolicited applications/walk-ins.
METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
The following are the most commonly used methods of recruiting
people.
INTERNAL METHODS
1. Promotions and Transfers
This is a method of filling vacancies from within
through transfers and promotions. A transfer is a lateral movement
within the same grade, from one job to another. It may lead to changes
in duties and responsibilities, working conditions, etc., but not
necessarily salary. Promotion, on the other hand, involves movement of
employee from a lower level position to a higher level position
accompanied by (usually) changes in duties, responsibilities, status and
value. Organizations generally prepare badly lists or a central pool of
persons from which vacancies can be filled for manual jobs.

Such

persons are usually passed on to various departments, depending on


internal requirements. If a person remains on such rolls for 240 days or
more, he gets the status of a permanent employee as per the Industrial
Disputes Act and is therefore entitled to all relevant benefits, including
provident fund, gratuity, retrenchment compensation.
2. Job Posting

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 45

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Job posting is another way of hiring people from within. In


this method, the organization publicizes job opening on bulletin boards,
electronic

method

and

similar

outlets.

One of the important

advantages of this method is that it offers a chance to highly qualified


applicants working within the company to look for growth opportunities
within the company without looking for greener pastures outside.
3. Employee Referrals
Employee referral means using personal contacts to
locate job opportunities.

It is a recommendation from a current

employee regarding a job applicant. The logic behind employee referral


is that it takes one to know one.

Employees working in the

organization, in this case, are encouraged to recommend the names of


their friends, working in other organizations for a possible vacancy in
the near future. In fact, this has become a popular way of recruiting
people in the highly competitive Information Technology industry
nowadays.

Companies offer rich rewards also to employees whose

recommendations are accepted after the routine screening and


examining process is over and job offers extended to the suggested
candidates. As a goodwill gestures, companies also consider the names
recommended by unions from time to time.
EXTERNAL (DIRECT) METHODS
1. Campus Recruitment
It is a method of recruiting by visiting and participating in college
campuses and their placement centers.
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 46

Here the recruiters visit

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

reputed educational institutions such as IITs, IIMs, colleges and


universities with a view to pick up job aspirants having requisite
technical or professional skills.

Job seekers are provided information

about the jobs and the recruiters, in turn, get a snapshot of job seekers
through

constant

interchange

of

information

with

respective

institutions.
A preliminary screening is done within the campus and the short
listed students are then subjected to the remainder of the selection
process.

In view of the growing demand for young managers, most

reputed organizations (such as Hindustan Lever Ltd., Proctor & Cable,


Citibank, State Bank of India, Tata and Birla group companies) visit IIMs
and IITs regularly and even sponsor certain popular campus activities
with a view to earn goodwill in the job market.

Advantages of this

method include: the placement centre helps locate applicants and


provides resumes to organizations; applicants can be pre-screened;
applicants will not have to be lured away from a current job and lower
salary expectations. On the negative front, campus recruiting means
hiring people with little or no work experience.
The organizations will have to offer some kind of training to the
applicants, almost immediately after hiring.

It demands careful

advance planning, looking into the placement weeks of various


institutions in different parts of the country. Further, campus recruiting
can be costly for organizations situated in another city (airfare,
boarding and lodging expenses of recruiters, site visit of applicants if
allowed, etc.).

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 47

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

INDIRECT METHODS
1. Advertisement
These include advertisements in newspapers; trade, professional
and technical journals; radio and television; etc. in recent times, this
medium has become just as colourful, lively and imaginative as
consumer advertising. The ads generally give a brief outline of the job
responsibilities, compensation package, prospects in organizations, etc.
this method is appropriate when (a) the organization intends to reach a
large target group and (b) the organizations wants a fairly good number
of talented people who are geographically spread out. To apply for
advertised

vacancies

lets

briefly examine

the wide

variety

of

alternatives available to a company - as far as ads are concerned:


Newspaper Ads:
Here it is easy to place job ads without much of a lead time. It has
flexibility in terms of information and can conveniently target a specific
geographic location.

On the negative side, newspaper ads tend to

attract only those who are actively seeking employment at that point of
time, while some of the best candidates who are well paid and
challenged by their current jobs may not be aware of such openings. As
a result, the company may be bombarded with applications from a large
number of candidates who are marginally qualified for the job adding
to its administrative burden. To maintain secrecy for various reasons
(avoiding the rush, sending signals to competitors, cutting down
expenses involved in responding to any individual who applies, etc.),
large companies with a national reputation may also go in for blind-box
ads in newspapers, especially for filling lower level positions. In a blindbox ad there is no identification of the advertising organization.
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 48

Job

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

aspirants are asked to respond to a post office box number or to an


employment firm that is acting as an agent between the job seekers
and the organization.
Television and radio ads:
These ads are more likely to each individual who are not actively
seeking employment; they are more likely to stand out distinctly, they
help the organization to target the audience more selectively and they
offer considerable scope for designing ads creatively. However, these
ads are expensive. Also, because the television or radio is simply seen
or heard, potential candidates may have a tough time remembering the
details, making application difficult.

THIRD PARTY METHODS


1. Private Employment Search Firms
As search firm is a private employment agency that maintains
computerized lists of qualified applicants and supplies these to
employers willing to hire people from the list for a fee. Firms like Arthur
Anderson, Bobble and Hewitt, ABC consultants, SB Billimoria, KPMG;
Ferguson Associates offers specialized employment-related services to
corporate houses for a fee, especially for top and middle level executive
vacancies.

AT the lower end, a number of search firms operate

providing multifarious services to both recruiters and the recruiters.

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 49

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

2. Employment Exchanges
As a statutory requirement, companies are also expected to
notify (wherever the Employment Exchanges Act, 1959, applies) their
vacancies through the respective Employment Exchanges, created all
over India for helping unemployed youth, displaced persons, ex-military
personnel, physically handicapped, etc. AS per the Act all employers
are supposed to notify the vacancies arising in their establishments
form time to time with certain exemptions to the prescribed
employment exchanges before they are filled.

The Act covers all

establishments in public sector and non-agricultural establishments


employing 25 or more workers in the private sector. However, in view
of the practical difficulties involved in implementing the provisions of
the Act (such as filing a quarterly return in respect of their staff
strength, vacancies and shortages, returns showing occupational
distribution

of

their

employees,

etc.)

many

organizations

have

successfully fought court battles when they were asked to pick up


candidates

from

among

those

sponsored

by

the

employment

exchanges.

3. Gate Hiring and Contractors


Gate hiring (where job seekers, generally blue collar employees,
present themselves at the factory gate and offer their services on a
daily basis), hiring through contractors, recruiting through word-ofmouth publicity are still in use despite the many possibilities for their
misuse in the small scale sector in India.
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 50

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

4. Unsolicited Applicants / Walk-ins


Companies generally receive unsolicited applications from job
seekers at various points of time; the number of such applications
depends on economic conditions, the image of the company and the job
seekers perception of the types of jobs that might be available etc.
Such applications are generally kept in a data bank and whenever a
suitable vacancy arises, the company would intimate the candidates to
apply through a formal channel.

One important problem with this

method is that job seekers generally apply to number of organizations


and when they are actually required by the organizations, either they
are already employed in other organizations or are not simply
interested in the position.
5. Alternatives to Recruitment
Since recruitment and selection costs are high (search process,
interviewing agency fee, etc.) firms these days are trying to look at
alternatives to recruitment especially when market demand for firms
products and services is sluggish.

Moreover, once employees are

placed on the payroll, it may be extremely difficult to remove them if


their performance is marginal. Some of the options in this regard may
be listed.

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 51

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

6. Evaluation of Alternative Sources


Companies have to evaluate the sources of recruiting carefully
looking at cost, time, flexibility, quality and other criteria before
earmarking funds for the recruitment process. They cannot afford to fill
all their vacancies through a particular source. To facilitate the decision
making process in this regard, companies rely on the following
7. Time lapse data
They show the time lag between the dates of requisition for
manpower supply from a department to the actual date of filling the
vacancies in that department.

For example, a companys past

experience may indicate that the average number of days from


application to interview is 10, from interview to offer is 7, from offer to
acceptance is 10 and from acceptance to report for work is 15.
Therefore, if the company starts the recruitment and selection process
now it would require 42 days before the new employee joins its ranks.
Armed with this information, the length of the time needed for
alternative sources of recruitment can be ascertained before pinning
hopes on a particular source that meets the recruitment objectives of
the company.
8. Yield ratios
These ratios indicate the number of leads / contacts needed to
generate a given number of hires at a point at time. For example, if a
company needs 10 management trainees in the next six months, it has
to monitor past yield ratios in order to find out the number of
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 52

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

candidates to be contacted for this purpose.

On the basis of past

experience, to continue the same example, the company finds that to


hire 10 trainees, it has to extend 20 offers. If the interview-to-offer is
3:2, then 30 Interviews must be conducted.
If the invitees to interview ratios are 4:3 then, as many as 40
candidates must be invited.

Lastly, if contacts or leads needed to

identify suitable trainees to invite are in 5:1 ratio, then 200 contacts are
made.
9. Surveys and studies
Surveys may also be conducted to find out the suitability of a
particular source for certain positions.

For example, as pointed out

previously, employee referral has emerged as popular way of hiring


people in the Information Technology industry in recent times in India.
Correlation studies could also be carried out to find out the relationship
between different organizational positions. Before finally identifying the
sources of recruitment, the human resource managers must also look
into the cost or hiring a candidate. The cost per hire can be found out
by dividing the recruitment cost by the number of candidates hired.
Modern day recruitment practices include implementation

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 53

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Training
HRIS
Internal recruitment
This refers to the filling of job vacancies from within the business
where existing employees are selected rather than employing some one
from outside. A business might decide that it already has the right
people with the right skills to do the job, particularly if its training and
development programmers have been effective.
How is it done?
Internal vacancies are usually advertised within business via a variety
of media:
staff notice boards
intranets
In-house magazines/newsletters

(for

example,

Map

major

publishing business) have a weekly staff magazine devoted solely


to advertising jobs within the organization.
Staff meetings.
Advantages of internal recruitment:
Gives existing employees greater opportunity to advance their
careers in the business.
May help to retain staff that might otherwise leave.
Requires a short induction training period.
Employer should know more about the internal candidates
abilities.
Usually quicker and less expensive than recruiting from outside.
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 54

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Disadvantages of internal recruitment:

Limits the number of potential applicants for a job.


External candidates might be better suited /qualified for the job.
Another vacancy will be created that has to be filled.
Existing staff may feel they have the automatic right to be
promoted, whether or not they are competent.

External Recruitment
This refers to the filling of job vacancies from outside the business
(contract with internal recruitment).Most businesses engage in external
recruitment fairly frequently, particularly those that are growing
strongly, or that operate in industries with high staff turnover.
Employment/recruitment agencies
These businesses specialize in recruitment and selection .They
often specialize in recruitment for specific sectors(e.g. finance travel,
secretarial).They usually provide a shortlist of candidates based on the
people registered with the agency. They also supply temporary or
interim employees.
The main advantages with using an agency are the specialist skills
they bring and the speed with which they normally provide candidates.
They also reduce the administrative burden of recruitment. The cost is
the high agency fees charged often up to 30% of the first year wages of
anyone employed.
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 55

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Head-hunters/Recruitment consultancies
Up market recruitment agents who provide a more specialized
approach to the recruitment of key employees and /or senior
management. They tend to approach individuals with a good
reputation rather than rely on long lists of registered applicants often
using privileged industry contacts to draw up a short list. The cost of
using a head-hunter or recruitment consultant is high.

Job centres
Government runs agency-good for identifying local candidates for
relatively straightforward jobs .The job centre service is free to
employers and is most useful for advertising semi skilled, clerical and
manual jobs.
Government funded training schemes
There is a variety of government funded schemes that provide
potential recruits, including the new deal and modern apprenticeships.
The advantage of these schemes is that government funding lowers the
cost of employment and the business can get to know the employee
before

committing

for

the

long-term.

However,

relatively

employment requirements are covered by these schemes.


Advertising

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 56

few

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Probably the most common method used in the recruitment.


Advertising allows the employer to reach a wider audience. The choice
of advertising media (e.g. national newspaper, internet, specialist
magazine etc) depends on the recruitment for the advert to reach a
particular audience and crucially, the advertising budget.

THE PROCESS OF SELECTION


Selection is usually a series of hurdles or steps. Each one must be
successfully cleared before the applicant proceeds to the next one. The
time and emphasis place on each step will definitely vary from one
organization to another and indeed, from job to job within the same
organization. The sequence of steps may also vary from job to job and
organization to organization. For example some organizations may give
more importance to testing while others give more emphasis to
interviews and reference checks. Similarly a single brief selection
interview might be enough for applicants for lower level positions, while
applicants for managerial jobs might be interviewed by a number of
people.

Fig: process of selection


Reception
A company is known by the people it employs. In order to attract people
with talents, skills and experience a company has to create a
favourable impression on the applicants right from the stage of
reception. Whoever meets the applicant initially should be tactful and
able to extend help in a friendly and courteous way. Employment
possibilities must be presented honestly and clearly. If no jobs are
available at that point of time, the applicant may be asked to call back
the personnel department after some time
Screening Interview
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 58

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

A preliminary interview is generally planned by large


organizations to cut the cost of selection by allowing only eligible
candidates to go through the further stages in selection. A junior
executive from the Personnel Department may elicit responses from the
applicants on important items determining the suitability of an
applicant

for

job

such

as

age,

education,

experience,

pay

expectations, aptitude, location, choice etc. this courtesy interview as


it is often called helps the department screen out obvious misfits. If the
department finds the candidate suitable, a prescribed application form
is given to the applicants to fill and submit.
Application Blank
Application blank or form is one of the most common methods
used to collect information on the various aspects of the applicants
academic,

social,

demographic,

work

related

background

and

references. It is a brief history sheet of employees background, usually


containing the following things:

Personal data (address, sex, telephone number)


Marital data
Educational data
Employment Experience
Extra-curricular activities
References and Recommendations
Usefulness of Application Blank or Form
Application blank is highly useful selection tool, in that way it serves
three important purposes
S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 59

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

1. It introduces the candidate to the company in a formal way.


2. It helps the company to have a cross-comparison of the applicants;
3. It can serve as a basis to initiate a dialogue in the interview.
Selection Testing
In this section i.e. selection test or the employment test that
attempts to asses intelligence, abilities, personality trait, performance
simulation tests including work sampling and the tests administered at
assessment centers- followed by a discussion about the polygraph test,
graphology and integrity test.
A test is a standardized, objective measure of a persons behavior,
performance or attitude. It is standardized because the way the tests is
carried out, the environment in which the test is administered and the
way the individual scores are calculated- are uniformly applied. It is
objective in that it tries to measure individual differences in a scientific
way giving very little room for individual bias and interpretation. Over
the years employment tests have not only gained importance but also a
certain amount of inevitability in employment decisions. Since they try
to objectively determine how well an applicant meets the job
requirement, most companies do not hesitate to invest their time and
money in selection testing in a big way. Some of the commonly used
employment tests are

Intelligence tests
Aptitude tests
Personality tests
Achievement tests

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 60

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

Miscellaneous tests such as graphology, polygraph and honesty


tests.
Selection interview:
The candidates selected in the selection interview are interviewed
here and the candidates are examined with the abilities whether they
are suitable for the job or not. Here the candidates are scrutinized on
the basis of their market knowledge, previous job experience,
communication skills and other major aspects required for the job. The
candidates selected here are further sent to next level.
Medical test:
The candidates who have passed the selection interview are now
sent to medical test because the organization makes sure whether the
health status of the candidate is fit at the time of joining the job or not.
Medical test is done to the candidate because particular jobs in the
organization need the medical fitness of the employee at the time of
joining.
Reference check:
Here the candidates are checked with the references i.e the
company enquires about the candidate with the reference number
provided by the candidate. Even it is done even by consulting the
college of the candidate and also by contacting the known ones.
Hiring decision:

S.S.B.N DEGREE COLLEGE ANANTAPURPage 61

A Study On Recruitment And Selection Process

After enquiring about the candidate thoroughly the decision of


hiring the candidate or not is taken by the management. After taking
the decision only it is made clear to the candidate that he has been
selected as an employee. Because the decision taken by the
management stands as final and any wrong decision in this context will
cost the management. Once the hired employee cannot be removed
easily.
And hence in this way an organization employs any candidate.
