CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO RECRUITMENT:
Human Resource in simple words means employing people, developing their
resources and utilizing their services with the job and the organization’s requirements.
Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting qualified

people for a job at an organization or firm. For some components of the recruitment
process, mid and large-size organizations often retain professional recruiters or
outsource some of the process to recruitment agencies.
The recruitment industry has five main types of agencies: employment agencies,
recruitment websites and job search engines, "headhunters" for executive and
professional recruitment, niche agencies which specialize in a particular area of
staffing, or employer branding strategy and in-house recruitment. The stages in
recruitment include sourcing candidates by advertising or other methods, and
screening and selecting potential candidates using tests or interviews.
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 discov er 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 manage ment. All managers have

responsibilit y of staffing function by selecting the chief executive and
even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing responsibilit y when
they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel manager
and his personnel department are mainly concerned with the staffing
function. Every organization 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 organization 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 organization/unit needs
manpower for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for
this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates is essential. Human resource
management in an organization will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected
and employment in a business unit.
2
MEANING:
Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make
suitable arrangements for their s election 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.
Recruitment and selection is the process of identifying the need for a job, defining the
requirements of the position and the job holder, advertising the position and choosing
the most appropriate person for the job. Retention means ensuring that once the best
person has been recruited, they stay with the business and is not “poached” by rival
companies.
Undertaking this process is one of the main objectives of management. Indeed, the
success of any business depends to a large extent on the quality of its staff. Recruiting
employees with the correct skills can add value to a business and recruiting workers at
a wage or salary that the business can afford, will reduce costs. Employees should
therefore be carefully selected, managed and retained, just like any other resource
In recruitment, information is collected by interested candidates from different
sources such as newspaper advertisement, employment exchanges, and internal
promotion.
In recruitment a pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of
most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first contact that a school makes
with potential employees.
DEFINITION:
According to EDWIN FLIPPO,” Recruitment is the process of
searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to appl y for
jobs in the organization.”
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 publicit y and suitable
candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool
of eligible candidates for scientific selection.
3
NEED FOR RECRUITMENT:
The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons :

a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination,
permanent disabilit y, death and labor turnover.
b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and

diversification of business activities of an enterprise. In addition, new
vacancies are possible due to job specification.
OBJECTIVES OF RECRUITMENT:
 To attract people with multi -dimensional skills and experiences that
suits the present and future organizational strategies.
 To induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the school.
 To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization.
 To develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to

the school
 To diverse methodologies for assessing psychological traits
 To search for talents globall y and not just with the school.
 To design entry pay that competes on qualit y but not on quantum.
4
PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE OF RECRUITMENT:
 Determine the present and future requirements of the organization on
conjunction with its personnel -planning and job anal ysis activities.
 Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.
 Help increase the success rate of the selection process by red ucing the
number of visibl y under qualified or overqualified job applicants.
 Help reduce the probabilit y that job applicants, once recruited and
selected, will leave the organization onl y after a short period of time.
 Meet the organization’s legal and so cial obligations regarding the

composition of its work force.
 Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be

appropriate candidates.
 Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term

and long term.
 Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources

for all t ypes of job applicants .
Recruitment represents the first contact that a school makes with
potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals
will come to know a school, and eventuall y decided whether they wish
to work for it.
A well-planned and well-managed recruiting effort will result in high
qualit y applicants, whereas, a haphazard and piecemeal efforts will
result in mediocre ones.
5
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:-
The sources of recruitment can be broadly categorized into Internal and
External sources.
INTERNAL RECRUITMENT :
Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within the
school. The various internal sources include 
 Promotions and Transfers :

Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel
records. Job posting requires notifying vacant positions by posting
notices, circulating publications or announcing at staff meetings and
inviting employees to appl y.
Personnel records help d iscover employees who are doing jobs below
their educational qualifications or skill levels. Promotions has many
advantages like it is good public relations, builds morale, encourages
competent individuals who are ambitious, improves the probabilit y of
good selection since information on the individual’s performance is
readil y available, is cheaper than going outside to recruit, those chosen
internall y are familiar with the organization thus reducing the
orientation time and energy and also acts as a traini ng device for
developing middle-level and top-level managers. However, promotions
restrict the field of selection preventing fresh blood & ideas from
entering the organization. It also leads to inbreeding in the
organization. Transfers are also important i n providing employees with
a broad-based view of the organization, necessary for future
promotions.
 Employee referrals:
Employees can develop good prospects for their families and friends by
acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the school,
furnishing them with introduction and encouraging them to appl y. This
is a very effective means as many qualified people can be reached at a
very low cost to the school. The other advantages are that the
employees would bring onl y those referrals that they feel would be able
to fit in the organization based on their own experience. The
organization can be assured of the reliabilit y and the character of the
referrals. In this way, the organization can also fulfill social
obligations and create goodwill.
6
 Former Employees:
These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part -time
basis, individuals who left work and are willing to come back for
higher compensations. Even retrenched employees are taken up once
again. The advantage here is that t he people are already known to the
organization and there is no need to find out their past performance and
character. Also, there is no need of an orientation programme d for
them, since they are familiar with the organization.
 Dependents of deceased empl oyees:

Usuall y, banks follow this policy. If an employee dies, his / her spouse
or son or daughter is recruited in their place. This is usuall y an
effective way to fulfill social obligation and create goodwill.
 Recalls:
When management faces a problem, which can be solved onl y by a
manager who has proceeded on long leave, it may de decided to recall
that persons after the problem is solved, his leave may be extended
 Retirements:
At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of the
one who had retired, after meritorious service. Under the
circumstances, management may decide to call retired managers with
new extension.
 Internal notification (advertisement) :

Sometimes, management issues an internal notification for the benefit
of existing employees. Most employees know from their own
experience about the requirement of the job and what sort of person the
school is looking for. Often employees have friends or acquaintances
who meet these requirements. Suitable persons are appointed at the
vacant posts.
7
EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT:
External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from sources
outside the school. They have outnumbered the internal methods. The
various external sources include 
 Advertisements:
It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer
advertisements because of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job
benefits, identify the employer and tell those interested how to appl y.
Newspaper is the most common medium but for highl y specialized
recruits, advertisements may be placed in professional or business
journals.
Advertisements must contain proper informatio n like the job content,
working conditions, location of job, co mpensation including fringe
benefits, job specifications, growth aspects, etc. The advertisement has
to sell the idea that the school and job are perfect for the candidate.
 Employment Exchanges:
Employment Exchanges have been set up all over the country in
deference to the provision of the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory
Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959. The Act applies to all industrial
establishments having 25 workers or more each. The Act requires all
the industrial establishments to notify the va cancies before they are
filled. The major functions of the exchanges are to increase the pool of
possible applicants and to do the preliminary screening. Thus,
employment exchanges act as a link between the employers and the
prospective employees. These of fices are particularl y useful to in
recruiting blue -collar, white collar and technical workers.
 Campus Recruitments:
Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fields and institutes
are fertile ground for recruiters, particularl y the institutes. Some
companies recruit a given number of candidates from these institutes
every year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after that each
college; universit y department or institute will have a placement
officer to handle recruitment functions . However, it is often an
expensive process, even if recruiting process produces job offers and
acceptances eventuall y. A majorit y leave the organization within the
first five years of their employment. Yet, it is a major source of
recruitment for prestigi ous companies.
8
 Walk-ins, Write-ins and Talk -ins
The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is direct
applications, in which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters
or resumes. Direct applications can also provide a poo l of potential
employees to meet future needs. From employees’ viewpoint, walk -ins
are preferable as they are free from the hassles associated with other
methods of recruitment. While direct applications are particularl y
effective in filling entry-level and unskilled vacancies, some
organizations compile pools of potential employees from direct
applications for skilled positions. Write-ins are those who send written
enquiries. These jobseekers are asked to complete application forms for
further processing. Talk-ins involves the job aspirants meeting the
recruiter (on an appropriated date) for detailed talks. No application is
required to be submitted to the recruiter.
 Contractors:
They are used to recruit casual workers. The names of the workers are
not entered in the school records and, to this extent; difficulties
experienced in maintaining permanent workers are avoided.
 Consultants:
They are in the profession for recrui ting and selecting managerial and
executive personnel. They are useful as they have nationwide contacts
and lend professionalism to the hiring process. They also keep
prospective employer and employee anonymous. However, the cost can
be a deterrent factor.
 Radio, Television and Internet:

Radio and television are used to reach certain t ypes of job applicants
such as skilled workers. Radio and television are used but sparingl y,
and that too, by government departments onl y. Companies in the
private sector are hesitant to use the media because of high costs and
also because they fear that such advertising will make the companies
look desperate and damage their conservative image. However, there is
nothing inherentl y desperate about using radio and tel evision. It
depends upon what is said and how it is delivered. Internet is becoming
a popular option for recruitment today. There are specialized sites like
naukri.com. Also, websites of companies have a separate section
wherein; aspirants can submit their resumes and applications. This
provides a wider reach.
9
 Competitors:
This method is popularl y known as “poaching” or “raiding” which
involves identifying the right people in rival companies, offering them
better terms and luring them away. For instance, several executives of
HMT left to join Titan Watch School. There are legal and ethical issues
involved in raiding rival firms for potential candidates. From the legal
point of view, an employee is expected to join a new organization onl y
after obtaining a ‘no objection certificate’ from his/ her present
employer. Violating th is requirement shall bind the employee to pay a
few months’ salary to his/ her present employer as a punishment.
However, there are many ethical issues attached to it.
 Mergers and Acquisitions:

When organizations combine, they have a pool of employees, out of
whom some may not be necessary any longer. As a result, the new
organization has, in effect, a pool of qualified job applicants. As a
result, new jobs may be created. Both new and old jobs may be readil y
staffed by drawing the best -qualified applicants from this employee
pool. This method facilitates the immediate implementation of an
organization’s strategic plan. It enables an organization to pursue a
business plan, However, the need to displace employees and to
integrate a large number of them rather quickl y into a new organization
means that the personnel -planning and selection process becomes
critical more than ever.
10
External Recruitment:
External sources of recruitment have both merits and demerits.
The merits are:

 The organization will have the benefit of new skills, new talents and
new experiences, if people are hired from external sources.
 The management will be able to fulfill reservation requirements in

favor of the disadvantaged sections of the societ y.
 Scope for resentment, heartburn and jealousy can be avoided by

recruiting from outside.
The demerits are:

 Better motivation and increased morale associated with promoting own
employees re lost to the organization.
 External recruitment is costl y.
 If recruitment and selection processes are not properl y carried out,

chances of right candidates being rejected and wrong applicants being
selected occur.
 High training time is associated with external recruitment.
11
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.
Selection is basically picking an applicant from (a pool of applicants)
who has the appropriate qualification and comp etency to do the job.
SELECTION PROCESS
Selection is along process, commencing from the preliminary interview
of the applicants and ending with the contract of employment.
Environment factor affecting selection: -

Selection is influenced by several facto rs. More prominent among them
are suppl y and demand of specific skills in the labor market,
unemployment rate, labor- market conditions, legal and political
considerations, school’s image, school’s policy, human resources
planning and cost of hiring. The last three constitute the internal
environment and the remaining form the external environment of
selection process.
 STEP 1: - PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW

The applicants received from job seekers would be subject to scrutin y
so as to eliminate unqualified appli cants. This is usuall y followed by a
preliminary interview the purpose of which is more or less the same as
scrutiny of application, that is, eliminate of unqualified applicants.
Scrutiny enables the HR specialists to eliminate unqualified jobseekers
based on the information supplied in their application forms.
Preliminary interview, on the other hand, helps reject misfits for
reason, which did not appear in the application forms. Besides,
preliminary interview, often called ‘courtesy interview’, is a good
public relation exercise.
 STEP 2: - SELECTION TEST:

Job seekers who pass the screening and the preliminary interview are
called for tests. Different t ypes of tests may be administered,
depending on the job and the school.
Generall y, tests are used to determine the applicant’s abilit y, aptitude
and personalit y.
12
 STEP 3: - INTERVIEW:
The next step in the selection process is an interview. Interview is
formal, in-depth conversation conducted to evaluate the applicant’s
acceptabilit y. It is considered to be excellent selection device. It is
face-to-face exchange of view, ideas and opinio n between the
candidates and interviewers. Basicall y, interview is nothing but an oral
examination of candidates. Interview can be adapted to unskilled,
skilled, managerial and profession employees.
 STEP 4: - REFERENCE CHECK:-

Many employers request names, addresses, and telephone numbers of
references for the purpose of verifying information and perhaps,
gaining additional background information on an applicant. Although
listed on the application form, references are not usuall y checked until
an applicant has successfull y reached the fourth stage of a sequential
selection process. When the labor market is very tight, organizations
sometimes hire applicants before checking references.
Previous employers, known as public figures, universit y professors,
neighbors or friends can act as references. Previous employers are
preferable because they are already aware of the applicant’s
performance. But, the problem with this reference is the tendency on
the part of the previous employers to over -rate the applica nt’s
performance just to get rid of the person.
Organizations normall y seek letters of reference or telephone
references. The latter is advantageous because of its accuracy and low
cost. The telephone reference also has the advantage of soliciting
immediate, relatively candid comments and attitude can sometimes be
inferred from hesitations and inflections in speech.
It may be stated that the information gathered through references
hardl y influence selection decisions. The reasons are obvious:
 The candidate approaches onl y those persons who would speak well
about him or her.
 People may write favorabl y about the candidate in order to get rid of
him or her.
 People may not like to divulge the truth about a candidate, lest it might
damage or ruin his/her career.
