When I started my internship in Gallagher Service Center, LLP, Pune, there I learned a lot
related to my specialization i.e. HR. Everyone there was kind and ready to help me at all times.
My reporting HR manager has divided the whole task in small activities which became easy to
Activity Flow :
22
Activity 1 - Observe everything going in your office
about the culture and the work which is done in the office.
I observed there that every work is done in a very systematic way and most importantly
In the first week, I was asked to arrange the documents as per told by the HR and then
But for the filing first I had to get the employee Id for each and every document as per
the name mentioned in the document, then find those files in the cupboards then file those
So, at the start I learned that every document of the employee must be safe and it is the
responsibility of an HR.
Also I was told to sit in their meetings to observe how does the meeting is conducted.
In the second week of the internship, the organization itself conducted an workshop on
In the beginning, she told us how to create an account on monster.com and then how to
Then she taught about how to set the criteria for the given specific position as per
23
After that, she showed us how to retrieve the data about the people who are nearby the
company location and make calls to them and tell them about the organization and the
opening.
In today's world, everything is almost online so from that perspective these online sites
help both the organization to get the skilled and right employee for the specific position
and people who are in need of job to get a good and secured job.
In the third week, I was told to make the calls to the people as per the list given to me and
Then, at the start I had to give my introduction to the person talking to me then tell them
about the position we are hiring for and then make sure that the person is interested in
If the person says yes then proceed with the call and if the person says no then tell them
I was told to ask those people about their qualification, a quick short introduction during
the call if they shows any interest in talking about the position that we are hiring for.
Also I had to answer to each question asked by the person on the call such as about the
location of the organization, exact work they have to do if they got hired, about the CTC
And also I had to tell them about the drive date, time of the drive and location of the drive
24
I was told to make calls for the Gallagher Service Center, LLP Kolhapur Branch for
Also after some days I did calling for the Pune branch of the same organization for
In the fourth week, after the completion of calling task, the task of recruitment and
To apply for the position either candidates were coming via calling or reference or walk-
ins as the organization posting their advertisement to online sites as well as in the internal
In this task, first candidates was asked to fill up the application form given at reception
desk and then they were supposed to register themselves in the database of the
Then, I was collecting those forms and checking them if the person is fitting in the
criteria and every necessary field is filled up otherwise that specific person gets called
Then HR leader starts the screening process in which he decides whether he/she is
After that, candidates were given a English Test which required 17 marks out of 30 for
passing, if one gets enough marks then he/she will be eligible for the next exam and if
25
When checking papers, I needed to check English grammar and give the feedback to the
HR, which then forwarded to the candidates by the HR if they have failed the exam.
If one passes the exam then he/she gets next Logic Test which required 50 marks out of
100 for passing, and the procedure for it was the same as mentioned above.
If he/she passes both the exams then he/she is eligible for HR interview in which they
were asked the questions about the suitability of the job shift, CTC offered by the
HR Leader decides whether he/she is capable of doing the job or can go to the next
round, which was the Word-Excel exam in which they were told to follow the
instructions as shown on the screen and the passing marks for Word exam was 4 marks
out of 5 and 8out of 10 for Excel exam. And one more Insurance exam for which 15
I was asked to keep the profile applications separately of one those have failed and those
After clearing all the exams he/she is eligible for the face to face interview with the
Team Leader
When one candidate gets eligible for the TL round which was called as OPS round - 1,
When TL comes to take the interview they were handover with the profile applications
of the eligible candidates and was given a separate cabin to take the interview.
26
For the first 10 minutes TL goes through the resume and profile of the candidate after
Then I used to call the candidate by their name and show them the way to the interview
cabin.
After the interview TL is supposed to write the comment about his/her grammar, way of
If one gets selected by the TL then he/she is eligible for the OPS round - 2, and the
procedure for that was also same as mentioned above, and if one gets rejected then the
If one gets selected in both OPS rounds the he/she is officially selected for the position
he/she has applied for and the feedback for the same is given to them by HR.
It's very important to make entry of each and every candidate who has applied in the
organization for any position no matter whether he/she is selected or rejected to keep the
record of everything.
The policy of the organization is simple, if one applies for the first time then system
takes that entry and that entry is kept in the system for three months. It means if anyone
gets rejected and applies for another position within three months then the system will
take that entry. Because as per the company policy after being rejected you re-apply after
27
The task of recruitment and selection is never ending, so in the sixth week of my
internship I was asked to make the entries of all the candidates as per the date mentioned
on their profile.
HR handed over the system to me by logging into it to make the entries. In that, I was
supposed to fill up the information such as screening status - select/reject, reason for
screening rejection, English test score & status - select/reject, Logic test score & status -
select/reject, HR Interviewer name, HR interview Status - select/reject & reason for the
same, Word/Excel/Insurance Test score & status - select/reject, OPS round 1 TL name &
status - select/reject, OPS round 2 TL name & status - select/reject, and then lastly Final
