Data Analysis
RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive Research has been used, which involves surveys and fact
findings of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is
the description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The main
characteristics of this method are that the researcher has no control over
the variable; he can only report what has happened or what is happening.
SAMPLING SIZE
The sampling size for the study was 100 employees from various
departments. It includes HR, Finance, Sales, and operations.
SAMPLING METHOD
The sampling technique adopted for the study is Stratified
Random sampling. A method of sampling that involves the division of a
population into smaller groups known as strata. In stratified random
sampling, the strata are formed based on members' shared attributes or
characteristics. A random sample from each stratum is taken in a number
proportional to the stratum's size when compared to the population. These
15
subsets of the strata are then pooled to form a random sample. So, in my
study I have taken four departments each 25% of them and done the
sample method.
QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN
The questionnaire to study the effectiveness of recruitment and
selection process consists of both open and close ended questions The
researcher used Questionnaire method for the purpose of collecting data.

CHAPTER 3
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Chapman and Webster (2003) in their survey research on the use of technologies in
recruiting, screening, and selection processes for job candidates conducted in USA found
that most organizations implemented technology based recruitment and selection tools to
improve efficiency, reduce costs, and expand the applicant pool.
According to Robins, in his study revealed that, “The ideal recruitment effort will attract
a large number of qualified applicants who will take the job if it is offered. So recruiting
is a process of discovering the potential candidates for actual organizational vacancies”.
Robert (2005), in his study titled, “Strategic HR Review, 2004”, states that successful
recruitment and selection can improve organization performance”.
Bowen, et al(1991), in his study examined “that integrated recruitment and selection
process helps recruiters to choose the candidates to fit the characteristics of an organization
culture”
Bardwell, et al(2003) in his study examined that, “Selection is carried out byorganisations
as a means of candidates potential and actual performance and the intake of employees will
make the most appropriate contribution to organization-now and in future”. The sample area
refers to the universe to be studied under our research project. The area denotes the place or
the region to be studied and taken into research consideration. Thus, the sample area chosen
for this research project is Denave India pvt ltd, Noida.

fields that was required for evaluation and easy identification of the
