10/66
RECRUITMENT
A management vacancy is often seen as an interruption to the status quo. However, the vacancy
should be seen as a business opportunity because it gives the organization the opportunity to
appoint someone who will make a real difference to its success. Appointing the right person is
important but making sure that you dont appoint the wrong person is critical.
MEANING & DEFINITION:
Recruitment is understood as a process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs, from
among whom the right candidate can be selected.
It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process
begins when their applications are submitted .The result is a pool of applicants from which new
employees are selected.
Recruitment process is said to end with the receipt of applications, in practice the activity
extends to the screening of applications so as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the
job.
Having the right person, in the right place, at the right time, is crucial to organizational
performance. Recruitment is a critical activity, not just for the HR team but also for line
managers who are increasingly involved in the selection process.

Recruitment refers to the process of identifying & attracting job seekers so as to build a pool of
qualified job applicants. The process comprises of the following interrelated stages that are as
follows:
Planning
Strategy Development
Searching
Screening
Evaluation & Control
The ideal recruitment program is the one that attracts a relatively larger
qualified applicants who will survive the screening process & accept position with the
organization, when offered. Recruitment programs can miss the ideal in many ways: by failing to
attract an adequate applicant pool, by under/over selling the organization, or by inadequately
screening the applicants recruitment process should know how many & what types of employees
are needed, where and how to look for individuals with the appropriate qualifications & interests,
what inducements to use (or avoid) for various types of applicant groups, how to distinguish
applicants who are unqualified from those who have a reasonable chance of success, and how to
evaluate their work.
RECRUITMENT PLANNING
This is the first stage of recruitment planning. Planning involves the translation of likely job
vacancies available in the various departments of the organization for e.g. in a service industry
specially the telecom sectors the departments would be Finance, Sales Marke
Administration, etc. the managers or the concerned employees of the concerned department sit
together & draft out the recruitment plan relating to how many vacanciesare there in the various
department & at which levels. Then the number of vacancies with the job is profile is given to
the HR department so that they can start the recruitment & fill up the vacancies. Then the HR
department decides the number of contacts and the type of applicants to be contacted.

STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Once it is known how many & what type of recruits are needed. Serious considerations are given
to:
1- MAKEORBUY:
Organizations must decide whether to hire less skilled employees & invest on training &
education programs, or they can hire skilled labors & professionals. Essentially, this means
make (hire less skilled workers) or buy (hire skilled workers & professionals) decision.
Organizations, which hire skilled labors & professionals, shall have to pay more to these
employees. Buying employees has the advantage in the sense that the skills labors &
professionals can begin the work immediately with little training if needed. But the high
remuneration that the skilled workers & professionals demand may outweigh the benefits. So,
the company has to decide which category of employees it wants to hire according to the
requirements, as it is incurs cost.
2- TECHNOLOGICAL SOPHISTICATION
This is the second decision, which is taken in the strategy development, which relates to the
methods used in the recruitment & selection. This decision is mainly influenced by the available
technology. The advent of computers has made it possible for employers to scan the national &
international labor marker. Technological advancement has made it possible for job seekers to
gain better access. They have begun sending videotapes about themselves to a number of
organizations without wasting time & without spending money on travel. So, we can say that
technology plays an important role in the recruitment process.

3- WHERE TO LOOK
In order to reduce costs , organizations look into the labor markets most likely to get the
required job seekers. Generally ,companies look into the national market for managerial
&professional employees ,regional &local market for technical employees ,& local markets for
clerical &blue-collar employees .It is not essential that every company follow the same pattern as
it depends upon many other factors like where the company is located ,the number of vacancies
in the organizations, at which levels are the vacancies etc . Finally we can say that a company
recruits where experience & circumstances dictate likely success.
4-HOW TO LOOK
This refers to the methods or sources of recruitment.
The sources of recruitment they can be broadly categorized into:
Internal Sources
External Sources

17/66
INTERNAL SOURCES:
Internal recruiting involves recruiting current or former employees for job openings in the
organization along with soliciting referrals from current employees. It is important not to forgetthe internal talent pool when recruiting. Providing opportunities for development and career
progression is an important factor for employee retention and motivation.
THE MAJOR ADVANTAGES OF INTERNAL RECRUITMENT ARE:
It is less costly than the external recruiting
It is cheaper than going outside to recruit
PROMOTION
PROMOTION is a term, which covers a changes and calls for greater responsibility and
usually involves higher pay and better terms and conditions of service and, therefore a higher
status or rank Promotion is the transfer of an employee to a job, which pays more money or one
that carries some proffered status.
Promotion may be defined as an upward advancement of an employee in an organization to
another job, which commands better pay or wages, better status\prestige and higher opportunities
or challenges, responsibility and authority, better working environment, hours of work and
facilities and higher rank. Promotion is a bit different from upgrading, which is concerned with
minor promotion, promotion within grade or horizontal promotion.
TRANSFERS
A lateral shift causing movement of individual from one position to another usually without
involving any marked changed in duties, responsibilities, skills, needed or compensation.
17
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
18/66
A transfer is a horizontal or a lateral movement of an employee from one job, section,
department, shift, plant or position to another at the same. It generally does not involve a
promotion, demotion or a change in job status other than the movement from one job or place to
another.
JOB POSTING OR INTERNAL PORTALS
Job posting is the process of advertising and publicizing job openings to employees. This might
be accomplished by physically posting the opening on bulletin boards or by electronically
posting them on the companys intranet or Internet. It is then up to the employee to actually
apply for the position.
FORMER APPLICANTS
Applicants that previously applied for positions with the organization are to some extent known
quantities, depending on how far they got in the selection process. Good applicants should be
reconsidered. Many organizations keep files on excellent candidates that were not selected for
prior openings and re-recruit them for current positions. This method is both efficient and
effective. Much of the screening might have already been done and, if the applicants were
previously interviewed, they might have already been judged as acceptable.

19/66
EXTERNAL SOURCES:
Where a position cannot be filled internally use of external sources is used. There are many
options available for generating interest from individuals outside the organization. These include
placing advertisements in trade press, newspapers and on the
Colleges/Universities/institutions, and walk-ins etc. The Internet-based methods in recent years,
local newspapers currently remain the most frequently used means of attracting candidates.
THEMAJOR ADVANTAGES OF EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT ARE:
Benefits of new skills, new talents & new experience to organizations.
Compliance with reservation policy becomes easy.
Scope for resentment, jealousies & heartburn are avoided.
EMPLOYEE REFERRALS
Many organizations have active formal employee referral programs, particularly in tight job
markets or where the employer has difficult-to-fill or high-turnover positions. These programsreward employees for referring applicants to the organization. Other organizations have less
formal programs and encourage employees to refer potential applicants, but do not provide an
incentive for doing so.
Experience and research show considerable benefit to the employee referral type of recruitment.
First, employees are not likely to refer applicants that would not be good employees. They do not
want to be embarrassed by the performance or conduct of their eferra1. Also, candidates that are
referred by employees typically already have begun the orientation process and have somewhat
of a realistic job preview via their relationship with the current employee. Finally, there is a
positive correlation between employee referral and employee retention of those hired as a result.
19
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
20/66
There is, however, one potential problem that can associated with employee referrals. Employees
tend to refer their relative and friends, who most likely are of the same ethnicity or sex as
themselves. Therefore, this type of recruitment does not normally facilitate the achievement of
diversity and affirmative action plan goals and can create adverse impact. This is particularly
true if the organization has a past practice of discrimination.
CONSULTANTS
A consultant is a professional who provides expert advice in a particular domain or area of
expertise such as accountancy, technology, the law, human resources, marketing, medicine,
finance, public affairs, communication, or more esoteric areas of knowledge .But recruitment
consultants are known for providing suitable candidates to the companies as
requirements. They provide a pool of talent that can be quickly mobilized as required.
Consultants are useful in many ways as they have nation wide contacts & lend professionalism
to the hiring process. They also keep prospective employer anonymous. But, the cost can be a
deterrent factor. Most of the consultants charge fees ranging from 20 to 30 % of the first year
salaries of the individual placed. It is essential that the recruitment consultant adhere to
organizations recruitment and selection policies.
In order to ensure an effective working relationship, it is essential to examine the market
carefully before selecting an agency or consultancy. Different services are provided by different
agencies. It is important that an organization selects one, which reflects its aims and objectives
and has experience of its labor market.
A company deals with many consultants if the numbers of positions to be closed are many. A
consultant is an important source of recruitment as it gives refined candidates to the company we
can say this because the consultant screens the candidates on the communication skills, his
education level etc and then forwards the resume, as the initial screening is done by the
consultant the company doesnt spend time on it as it has to do. In the case of walk-ins or when
advertisements are given in newspapers. Though; consultants are external to organizations but
20
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
21/66
they play a vital role in recruitment as 70% positions in big organizations are closed because of
consultants only.
It is not always that each & every company recruits its employees through consultants charge a
bomb of rupees for proving suitable candidates. So, a company with good financial background
can go for recruitment through consultant & rest depend upon the portals such as Naukri.com or
Monster.com or newspaper advertisement etc. as per their financial strengths of the company.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
Job vacancies do not communicate themselves. They must be communicated to that group of
people who may be interested in applying for the job and making a good contribution to the
performance of it. For the same jobs are advertised externally through the press or local radio
where in all the details about the job are mentioned that is: job title, name of the employer, a logo
may assist in catching the eye, where will the job be located, does the job involve any traveling,
minimum experience, skills and qualities, qualifications required etc.
Advertisements must be effectively drafted before publishing! releasing them. An effective
advertisement will help in getting a good amount of candidates and who will meet the
requirement. Want ads describe the job and the benefits, identify the employer, and tell those
who are interested and how to apply. These are most familiar form of
advertisement. For highly specialized recruits, advertisements are placed in professional!
business journals. Newspaper is the most common medium. Some organizations also publish
blind ads, one in which there is no identification of the organization. Respondents are asked to
reply to a post box number or to a consulting firm that is retained by the organization.
Advertisements are published to fill all kind of vacancies in the organization, top management,
middle management or lower management.
Recruitment advertisements today has to do much more than announce that a company is looking
for personnel. It has to sell the idea that the company and the job are perfect for the candidate.
21

Further recruitment advertisements can also serve as corporate advertisements, the latter
positioned to build the companies image.

CAMPUS RECRUITMENT
These include sending traveling recruiters to educational and professional inst
employees contact public and manned exhibits. One of the widely used direct methods is that of
sending of recruiters to college and technical schools. Most college recruiting is done in co-
operation with the placement office of college. The placement office usually provides help in
attracting students, arranging interviews, furnishing space, and providing students resumes for
managerial, professional and sales personnels, campus recruiting is an extensive operation.
Persons reading for MBA or other technical diplomas are picked up in this manner. For this
purpose, carefully prepare brochures, describing the organizations and the jobs it offers, are
distributed among students, before the interviewer arrives. The organization m
continuing contacts with institution placement officials with a view to recruiting staff regularly
for different responsible positions.
Sometimes, firms directly solicit information from the concerned professors about students with
an outstanding record. Many companies have found employees contact with the public a very
effective method. Other direct method include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars,
setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go to the desired centers.
WALK-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 pool of potential employees to meet future needs. From employees view point, walk-ins are
preferable as they are free from the hassles associated with other methods of recruitment. While
direct applications are particularly effective in filling entry-level and unskilled vacancies, some
organizations compile pools of potential employees from direct applications for skilled positions.
Walk-ins are also advertised in the press or radio announcing the date and time of the walk-in.
Todays newspapers are full of new openings to be tapped in newer ways. Six out of the ten are
through walk-in interviews. Though for many it could be a walk out! It is the most common &
23

8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
24/66
the least expensive approach for candidates to apply directly, in which job seekers submit
unsolicited application letters or letters or resumes. Mostly walk-in interviews are held to fill up
the entry level or unskilled employees. Managerial or higher levels of positions are not filled
through walk-ins. It is very difficult to get refined candidates through walk-ins as pool of
candidates comes for an interview as quantity is more than quality; even then we see so many
walk-in interviews scheduled everyday in e newspapers as it is the cheapest way to get pool of
applicants. E.g.

shortlist candidates and call them for interviews. The subscriber or the organizations have to pay
fees for the amount of services and the duration of services that they want to enroll for after
which they get a dedicated username and password from these service providers. The recruitment
portals display the name and the banner of the organization that have enrolled for the service and
the candidates can see the names of the organizations and the vacancies available and can then

attached to any job that you are posting. In the questionnaire the recruiter can make use of
options like: choose desired responses like yes or no, assign point value, and essay long answer
questions etc. the candidate needs to match the Minimum Acceptance Score. This is the score
that a candidate needs to meet to qualify for the requirement. When the applications are seen in
the folders, the score would be visible against the name of the candidate. This will help you
identify the qualified candidates quickly.
RESUME SEARCH:
There are various options available to the recruiter to search for the resu
POWER SEARCH:
The power search option allows the user to find resumes through Keywords Keywords are the
words that the recruiter would want a resume to contain for short listing. The Radio buttons
allows the user to choose where they would want the keywords to be searched for on the resume.
For example entire resume, key skills etc.
31
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
32/66
The user can choose options like All Key words - which means that the resume must contain all
the key words mentioned. Any of the key words - that is that out of the ones mentioned the
resume must contain any of the key words and Excluding the words - that is if you dont want a
particular word to appear then it can be given under this heading.
SALARY:
The salary range that the applicant must have can be specified that is the minimum and
maximum salary and all the resumes are shown which have the matching salary range.
INDUSTRY:
The industry where the job seeker must have experience must be specified. Eg: FMCG. Telecom
etc.
CATEGORY AND ROLE:
Role is what the job seeker is doing in his current organization which should match with the
skills required.
EDUCATION:
It is the highest Degree or highest qualification that the candidate possesses. Eg: MBA or MCA
etc.
IT SEARCHES:
This allows you to target the jobseekers with specific key skills and the time they have spent
working on it. Using this option will filter OUT all those jobseekers with the skill mentioned on
their resumes.
Keywords: The Radio buttons allows you to choose where you would want the keywords to be
searched for on the resume. The resumes will show your keywords highlighted in red. This also
has the option to choose the resume must contain: All the Key words, any of the Key words
32
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
33/66
or Excluding the key words like Power search.
The Salary, Industry, Category and Role, and Education can also be mentioned.
MAGIC SEARCH:
This option allows the user to use keywords that are most important to the requirement he/she is
looking for. The results page will have resumes with the keywords the user has given, with the
most relevant resume appearing first, then the next, and so on. Example: sales manager, FMCG,
5- 7 yrs, Delhi.
CREATE A PERSONAL FOLDER:
Personal Folders created give the user convenience to store and pool resumes for late use. These
resumes could be picked from any of the folders Job Posting, Personal or Saved Searches. A
new folder created here could store all your favorites, which are currently lying in different
folders. The recruiter can use this to share the resumes with other users of the account too. For
example, a folder can be created named Sales and all the sales resumes can be stored in it.
SAVE A NEW SEARCH:
When the recruiter puts in the keys skill or skill sets required to be present in the resume search
form and conducts a search, if the results are accurate the recruiter can save that search for futureuse .It saves time to type the data again and the results also are accurate.
WHEN TO LOOK:
An effective strategy must determine when to look _should decide on the timings of recruiting
employees-besides just knowing where &how to look for job applicants. By analyzing the
previous example if a company wants to recruit 20 employees in a sales department then it is
essential that the company should be able to contact 2000 applicants during this period but when
this period of contacting these applicants should occur? In most of the cases it is assumed that it
takes 10 days for an advertisement to begin producing resumes, four days for invitations for
interviews to be issued, seven days to arrange for interviews, four days organizations need to
makeup their minds, 10 days for applicants offered job to make up their minds, and 21 more days
for those accepting offers to report for work. This suggests that vacancies must be advertised two
33

34/66
months before they are expected to occur. Lot is advance planning is necessary when a company
decides to have a recruitments in its company as we have seen that it is not a one day job.
SEARCHING:
Once a recruitment plan & strategy are worked out the search process begins which involves the
following steps:
(1) Source Activation:
Source & search activations cannot be activated, that means no actual recruitment will take place
unless & until line managers have verified that a vacancy does exits or will exit. If the
organization has planned well & has done a good job of developing its sources & search methods
in advance, activation soon results in a flood of applications or resumes. The concerned person in
the company screens the applications received & those who get short-listed have to be contacted
& invited for the interview. Unsuccessful candidates are sent mails of regrets.
(2) Selling:
A second issue that is addressed in a company in a searching process is concerned with
communication. In this case, organizations walk a tightrope. On one hand, they want to do
whatever they can to attract desirable applicants. On the other, they resist the temptation of
overselling their virtues.
In selling the organization, both the message & the media deserve attention. Message refers to
the employment advertisement. With regard to media it is stated that effectiveness of any
recruiting message depends upon the media chosen by the company. Media available for
advertisements are many some have low credibility such as the employment exchanges while
some enjoy high creditability when companies advertise in business magazines. Selection of
media or medium has to be done with proper care as cost factor is related with it.

SCREENING:
Screening an applicant means checking whether the candidate is suitable for the required post or
not. It is the initial stage was the candidate is short-listed for the first time from the pool of
applicants. Screening of applicants can be regarded as an integral part of the recruitment process,
though many view it as the first step in the selection process but the selection process will begin
after the application has been scrutinized & short-listed. This can be explained by giving an
example, hiring of professors in a university is a typical situation. Applications received in
response to advertisements are screened & only eligible applicants are called for an interview. A
selection committee comprising of the eligible applicants are called for an interview. A
selection committee comprising of the Vice Chancellor, Registrar & subject experts, conducts
interview. Here, the recruitment process extends up to screening the applicants. The selection
process commences only later.
The purpose of removing screening activity from the recruitment process at the early stage is that
those applicants who are visibly unqualified for the job, Effective screening can save a great deal
of time & money of a company. Care must be exercised, however, to assure that potentially good
employees are not lost. Screening is judged on the basis of their knowledge, skills, abilities &
interests required to do the job.
The techniques used to screen applicants vary depending on the candidates sources & recruiting
methods used. Screening of applicants must be done in a proper way in order to save the
resources of the organization & also give refined candidates to the organization, as employees
are the important asset of an organization.
EVALUATION & CONTROL:
Evaluation & control are essential as costs are incurred in recruitment process. The costs
generally incurred are:
Salaries / Commission to recruiters
35
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
36/66
Cost of Advertisements or recruitment methods, that is a consultant fee.
Cost of overtime & outsourcing while vacancies remain unfilled.
Management & professional time spend on preparing job description,
specification, advertisements, etc.
Recruitment overheads & administration expenses.
Control on the above expenses is essential otherwise a recruitment process will act as a liability
instead of increasing asset inform of employees to the organization. Here the recruitment process
comes to an end with the commencement of the selection process.
36

8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service

SELECTION:
Next to recruitment the logical step in the HR process is Selection of qualified & competent
people.
Recruitment and selection are core areas of human resource management but are frequently
discussed in a prescriptive manner. They are not simply techniques for filling jobs - they are also
levers for organizational change. Sustaining employee commitment and achieving
performance. Recruits may be sought who will fit in with the culture of the corporation; who
will be content to build a career within the organization; who will absorb the goals of the
organization.
MEANING & DEFINITION:
Selection is a process of picking individuals (out of the pool of job applicants) with the requisite
qualification & competence to fill jobs in the organization
A formal definition of selection is: It is a process of differentiating between applicants in
order to identify (and hire) those with greater likelihood in success in a job.
Recruitment & selection are two crucial steps in HR process & are often used interchangeably.
There is, however, a fine distinction between the two steps. While recruitment refers to the
process of identifying & encouraging prospective employees to apply for the job, selection is
concerned with picking the right candidates from the pool of applicants. Recruitment is said to be
positive in its approach as it seeks to attract as many as candidates possible. Selection, on the
other hand, is negative in its application as it seeks to eliminate as many unqualified applicants
as possible in order to identify the right candidates. Some selection methods are used within an
organization for promotion & transfers also. Selection is significant as it has impact on work
performance & employee cost.

PROCESS OF SELECTION:
Selection is a long process, commencing from preliminary interview of applicants & ending with
the contract of employment. In practice, the selection process differs from one organization to
another& even between two different jobs within the same organization. Selection process will
be a long drawn & rigorous for senior managers, but it is simple & short while hiring shop floor
workers.
Selection is influenced by many factors. More prominent among them are the supply & demand
of specific skills in the labor market, unemployment rate, labor market conditions, legal &
political considerations, companys image, companys policy, HRP & cost of hiring. The last
three factors constitute the internal environment & remaining form the external environment of
the selection process.

PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW:
The applications received from the job seekers would be subject to scrutiny so as to eliminate
unqualified applicants. This is usually followed by a preliminary interview the purpose of which
is more or less the same as scrutiny of applications, that is, elimination of unqualified
applications.
Scrutiny enables the HR specialists to eliminate unqualified job seekers based on the information
supplied in their application forms. Preliminary interviews, on the other hand, help reject misfits
for reasons, for reasons, which do not appear in the application forms. Besides, preliminary
interviews, often called courtesy interview, is a good public relation exercise.
SELECTION TEST:
Job seekers who pass the screening & preliminary interview are called for test. Different types of
tests are administered, depending upon job & company. For e.g. Tests conducted while hiring
call center employees are related to listening abilities, communication skills etc but if a company
wants to hire a person in the IT department the test conducted will be based on programming,
software development etc. Generally, tests are used to determine applicants ability, aptitude &
personality.
EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEW:
The next step in the selection process is employment interview. An interview is conducted at the
beginning and at the end of the selection process.
Interview is a formal, in-depth conversation conducted to evaluate the applicants acceptability.
It is considered to be an excellent selection device. Its popularity stems from its flexibility.
Interview can be adapted to unskilled, skilled, managerial and professional employees. It allows
a two-way exchange of information, the interviewers learn about the applicant, and the applicant
learns about the employer.
However interviews do have some shortcomings. Absence of reliability is one limitation. No two
way interviewers offer similar scoring after interviewing an applicant. Lack of validity is another
41
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
42/66
limitation. This is because, few departments use standardized questions upon which validation
studies can be conducted. Finally, biases of interviewers may cloud the objectivity of interviews.
The employment interview can be one to one, sequential or panel.
Interviews at least have three objectives:
Helps obtain additional information from the applicant.
Facilitates giving general information to the applicant such as company policies, job, products
manufactured and the like.
Helps build the companys image among the applicants.
42
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
43/66
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND CHECKS:
The employers request names, addresses, and telephone numbers or the references for the
purpose of verifying information and perhaps, gaining additional background information on the
applicant. Although listed on the application form, references are not usually checked until an
applicant has successfully cleared the interviews: it is done before giving the offer letter.
Previous employers, known public figures, university professors can act as references. Previous
employers are preferable because they are already aware of the applicants performance. But, the
problem with this reference is the tendency on the part of the previous employer just to get rid of
that person.
Organizations seek letters of reference or telephone references. Telephone references are
advantageous because of its accuracy and low cost. It also has the advantage of soliciting
immediate, relatively candid comments, and attitudes can sometimes be inferred from hesitations
and inflections in speech.
Reference checks solve two important purposes. One purpose is to gain insight about the
potential employee from the people who have had previous experience with him or her. The
second purpose for reference checks is to assess the potential success of a prospect. Who else can
give an objective assessment of an individual that his or her previous employer?
SELECTION DECISION:
After obtaining information through the preceding steps, selection decision - the most critical of
all the steps - must be made. The other stages in the selection process have been used to narrow
the number of candidates. The final decision has to be made from the pool of individuals who
pass the tests, interviews and references checks.
The final decision indeed becomes a daunting task when there are large numbers of job seekers
lined up for the final selection. The views of the line managers will be finally considered in the
43
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
44/66
final selection because it is he or she who is responsible for the performance of the new
employee. The HR manager plays a critical role in the final selection.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
After the selection decision and before the job offer is made the candidate is required to undergo
a physical examination. A job offer is, often, contingent upon the candidate being declared fit
after the physical examination. The result of the medical fitness test is recorded in a statement
and are preserved in the personnel records. There are several objectives behind a physical test.
Obviously, one reason for a physical test is to detect if the individual carries any infectious
disease. Secondly, the test assists in determining whether an applicant is physically fit to perform
the work. Third, the physical examination information may be used to determine if there are any
physical capabilities which differentiate successful and less successful employees. Fourth,
medical checkup protects applicants with health defects from undertaking work that could be
detrimental to them or might otherwise endanger the employers property. Finally, such
examination will protect the employer from workers compensation claims that are not valid
because the injuries or illness were present when the employee was hired.
JOB OFFER:
The next step in the selection process is job offer to those applicants who have crossed all the
previous hurdles. Job offer is made through a letter of appointment. Such a letter generally
contains a date by which the appointee must report on duty. The appointee must be given
reasonable time for reporting. This is particularly necessary when he or she he already in
employment, in which case the appointee is required to obtain a relieving certificate from the
previous employer. Again, a new job may require movement to another city which means
considerable preparation and movement of property.
CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT:
After the job offer has been made and the candidates accept the offer, certain documents need o
be executed by the employer and the candidate. One such document is the attestation form. This
form contains certain vital details about the candidate which are authenticated and are attested by
him/her. Attestation form will be vital record for future reference.
44
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
45/66
There is also a need of preparing contract of employment or employment agreement of simply
bonds, which solve many useful purposes. Such contracts help to restrain job hoppers, to protect
knowledge and information that may be vital to the organizations healthy bottom line and to
prevent competitors from poaching highly valued employees. Great care needs to be taken to
draft the contract forms.
CONCLUDING THE SELECTION PROCESS:
Contrary to popular perception, the selection process will not end with exe
employment contract. There is another step - a more sensitive one - reassuring those candidates
who have not been selected. Such candidates must be told that they were not selected, not
because of any serious deficiency in their personality, but because their profiles did not match
the requirements of the organization. They must be told that those who were selected were done
purely on relative basis.
EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROGRAMME:
The broad test of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of the personnel hired.
An organization must have competent and committed personnel. The selection process, if
properly done, will ensure availability of such employees. To check the effectiveness an auditmust be conducted by people working in the organization independent of the HR department.

RECRUITMENT AT UNIVERSAL INFORMATION SARVICES

48/66
RECRUITMENT PHILOSOPHY OF UNIVERSAL INFORMATION SERVICES
If we all thought recruitment is just getting the right person at right time at right place and at
right price, its time we rethink if its that simple. Recruitment is not just getting vacancy filled,
in our opinion that is just halfway through recruitment. Because the problems start after that,
they are
Attrition
False Commitments
Discrepancy in perceived role and responsibility.
Increasing Market and opportunities.
Interpersonal issues with peers and superiors.
Work delegated not in tune with the professional interest.
Hence our recruitment philosophy takes into account all these parameters while hunting a
prospective employee for any employer. We at Universal Information Services consulting
conduct an extensive screening process to ensure the current requirements and the future
anticipated problem, are taken care of.
We have a seven-stage recruitment Process:
1. Understanding the employer in terms of Brand acceptability, Market standing, Work Culture,
Employee Policies and Benefits.
2. Nailing down the job requirements to the minutest of details vis a vis Job Profile,
Responsibility, Reporting Structure, Expectations on the job, deliverables, salary bracket for
that particular level, salaries of the would be peers.
3. An idea from the employee as to any specific companies should be targeted.
4. Hunt for the candidate begins with a 360 approach, i.e. through databases, referrals,
Advertisements, Head hunting and job portals
5. Once the pool of prospective employers is generated the extensive screening process at our
end starts vis a vis the job requirements personal and professional skills needed so that the
employer does not face any problem with the employee in future.
48
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
49/66
6. Then the profiles are recommended to the prospective employers and we coordinate the
interview
7. Once the employer accepts the candidate as an employee there is a mechanism of being
constantly in touch with the Employee check on the satisfaction levels and any arising is
brought to the notice of the employer.
In all our recruitment philosophy is a 360 approach to selling an employer to an employee and
vice versa, Cautious enough not to undersell or oversell anyone and making the facts as it is
available to each so that the relationship of theirs last longer.

8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service

The Referral Process
Once a search consultant has referred your resume to an organization and interest is expressed by
that organization, the Search Consultant will introduce the firm and the opportunity to you and
then you can decide if you are interested or not. Generally, if you are not in the firms immediate
vicinity, the company will conduct a telephone interview. After this, if both parties are interested,
a face-to-face interview is the next step. If that goes well, a second or even a third round of
interviews might occur. It is possible that you might receive an offer after the first interview.
At the offer stage, the Search Consultant will probably have some insight as to what you can
expect. Some firms offer is a best and final offer; others might have room for some
negotiation. The Manning Search Group Search Consultant generally positions himself/herself
to be the liaison between the employer and the candidate. That means the employer will
generally ask us what it is going to take for a successful job offer acceptance. Also, many of our
employers ask us to make the job offer and we must know what the minimal acceptable offer
will be so that we can guide the employer if their first attempt is unsatisfactory. If you prefer to
do your own negotiating because you have established a good report with your prospective
supervisor, great. Please realize though that the Search Consultant can help you. Remember, the
Search Consultant is trying to help the parties to the altar, so he or she will work to satisfy your
needs as well as his or her clients needs. It wont work any other way.
Telling the Search Consultant where you have already sent your resume will help avoid
duplication and wasting their time. If you have already sent a resume to a prospective employer,
your Search Consultant will most likely not be able to represent you with that employer. If you
have interviews already scheduled, let the Search Consultant know where you are in terms of
timing, especially if you are expecting an offer in the near term. Please dont waste the Search
Consultants time if you are expecting to accept a pending job offer. If your pending job offer is
not what you really want, be honest with the offering employer and tell the Search Consultant
that you will turn down the offer. If the Search Consultant is burned by your dishonesty. You
have alienated a valued ally in your industry.
50
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
51/66
It would be very helpful to provide a targeted list of companies that you have strong interest in
gaining employment. Let the Search Consultant do the initial contact and marketing of your
background to that company. It is an interesting phenomenon of how executives and middle level
managers will take phone calls from recruiters because they want to know what they are offering.
Remember that if you treat someone the way you would like to be treated, then the experience
should be a positive one for all parties -- you, the Search Consultant, and the employer.

8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service

FOLLOW UP
The Hot Sheet
In recruitment, you learned that you should refer each prospect to three people. This means you
will have to have at least three professionals in each category on your target contact list as well
as other professionals who are not on the target list, but to whom you frequently refer.
To aid your networking and referral efforts, you should, create The Hot Sheet. This is a list of
professionals, categorized by practice area, with names, addresses and telephone numbers. You
will use this sheet as your quick reference for making referrals. It will also be the primary tool
that guides your networking.
You should start by creating the Hot Sheet template on your word processor. This includes the
headings by type of professional, with at least three spaces in each category to add names of
contacts. Hot Sheet, a contact must satisfy each of the following conditions:
1. You must have had a personal meeting (even if you know the contact well)
2. You must feel the contact is highly competent .You wont want to be referring to.
3. Professionals that might reflect badly on you by their poor handling of the client.
4. You must feel the contact has a high probability of referring business. The best indicator
of this is if the contact has referred before. Other things to look for
High degree of contact with your target client. Successful practice or business.
Leadership
Gregariousness
5 You must like the contact personally and be open to taking the relationship to a higher
level of friendship if the opportunity arises.
Your goal in networking is to fill your Hot Sheet. When you ask for the names of new contacts,ask specifically for the types of professionals who match the empty spaces on your Hot Sheet.
The Key to Success
Follow-up is the key to success. It is such an important concept that I must close the same way.
Successful networking is not about how many people you can meet. But rather how many
52
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
53/66
beneficial relationships you can establish. Naturally, you will have to kiss quite a few frogs to
find your princes, so meeting new people is important throughout the process. Ultimately,
however, the key to success is to establish long term relationships.
Most successful clients have established dozens of new friendships that have enriched their lives
as well as their practices. In the beginning these lawyers networked feverishly, meeting new
people constantly. As the relationships were established, the emphasis in their networking shifted
from meeting new people to staying in touch with friends. They tell, networking is the easiest
thing in the world now, because the bulk of their marketing consists of picking up the phone and
saying hello to friends who send them business.
Make follow-up a habit. Make it automatic. If you do, you are sure to see your practice grow.

Observation at UNIVERSAL INFORMATION SERVICES
54
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
55/66
My observations being at Universal Information Services were as follows:
The main thing which I observed was the recruitment process of the candidate. What are their
criterias of selection, how they judge there candidate. They use various techniques to recruit
good candidates for the companies. The Various techniques are used like Telephonic interview,
searching resumes through various job portals, head hunting, references etc. After the resumes
are screened depending upon the job requirements, the candidates are called for the preliminary
interview and screening. The same is done by the executives at the consultancy. After the
preliminary selection is made by the executives the candidate is sent to the company for the next
rounds that are conducted there itself.
Procedure followed at Universal Information Services for short listing or selection of
candidates:
Every consultancy has two kinds of data primary and secondary. Secondar3 data is the data
already present in the database and has been collected through different sources for use. Primary
data is the data that is collected by the executive himself through job portals, references and head
hunting.
There is always a shortage of good candidates in the market therefore a lot of effort needs to be
put in by the executives to find candidates as per requirem
When the candidate is short listed by the consultancy the same candidate is sent to the
company/clients for further interview rounds.
Selection
When the company/client selects the particular candidate the HR department informs the
executive in charge and sends him or her the date of joining and the package offered by the
company.
After knowing the same it is put in the database for calculations by the consultancy and the
incentives of the executive. The executive at the end of the month gets incentive depending upon
55
-
8/7/2019 Rectuitment & Selection of Universal Information Service
56/66
the number of closings done for the month and the consultancy gets commission depending upon
the contract with the client.
