RECRUITMENT
INTRODUCTION
There are two sources of recruitment that is internal and external recruitment.
Internal recruitment is when an organization looks to fill jobs with their current
employees, sourcing talent from other teams, departments, and job functions
within a company. This process is also referred to as and enables teams to
proactively fill skills gaps. When companies recruit candidates, who are not a
part of the organization, it is called external recruitment. External recruitment is
an intensive process wherein companies have to post the job descriptions on
different job boards, create and engage with the talent pool, improve employer
branding, and so on.
8
Every business organization 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.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
13
MEANING
In any organization, employees are considered as the greatest asset and human
resource management is the most important function performed by the HRM
department. The main role of the Human Resource Management (HRM) team is
to build a pool of human capital for the company that can lead to the selection
of the right candidate for the right job. Recruitment aims to select and hire the
right person for the right job at the right time. The human resource management
department often looks at two main sources of recruitment, internal and external
sources of recruitment. The purpose of the recruitment process is to gather
information about talented and qualified individuals who may be interested in
working for the organization in an effective manner.
14
DEFINITIONS
6. Joseph J. Famularo - “However, the act of hiring a man carries with it the
presumption that he will stay with the company-that sooner or later his
ability to perform his work, his capacity for job growth, and his ability to
get along in the group in which he works will become matters of first
importance.” Because of this, a critical examination of recruitment methods
in use should be made, and that is the purpose of this chapter.

Selection Transparency Description
1. Attracting Candidates
Even though recruitment does not ensure the final onboarding of the candidates
in the company but it effectively attracts a large number of candidates to apply
for the vacancies. This gives the candidates a potential chance for employment
and also publicizes the organization among job-seekers.
16
2. Facilitates Selection
4. Meeting Obligations
Every organization has legal obligations that it has to meet. In addition to that,
the social obligations also termed as corporate social responsibility is a big
factor that organizations take care of. By recruiting candidates and maintaining
the workforce composition, these obligations are successfully met.
5. Transparency

2. Create a recruitment plan
By having a recruitment plan in place, it may be possible to speed up the
recruitment process. The recruitment plan outlines the entire process of finding
candidates and interviewing and selecting them. It may be necessary to alter an
existing recruitment plan or create a new one for every new job opening.
Different positions may require separate plans.
20
6. Interview candidates
Depending on the organization’s requirements, resources and the number of
applicants they get, the recruiters may organize single-phase interviews or
multiple phase interviews. Single-phase interviews are usual in smaller
organizations that have fewer applicants and need to make quick hiring
decisions. Large organizations are more likely to have multiple phase interviews
that involve screening applicants in progressive rounds. Only the best
candidates can advance to the final interview round.
21
METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
There are mainly two different methods that can be used for the recruitment
which are traditional or conventional and non-traditional or modern recruiting
methods. These methods are explained below:

Modern
Methods OF
Recruitment
1. Smartphones:
In 21" century, smartphones are the simplest methods to connect with the
external world. Any page can be accessed anytime and it is also used by the
recruiters to communicate and facilitate the information about the organization
to the probable candidates.
2. Social Media:
The current era belongs to Facebook and Twitter. As these platforms are
commonly used by the majority of the people in everyday life, thus these
mediums can be used effectively to have a contact with the prospective
candidates. This is a cost-effective method and provides a large candidate pool.
3. Event Recruitment:
The different events are sponsored by the organizations that provide an insight
into their ethics and values. This is commonly used by the organization to
highlight their connection with the different values and to enjoy the publicity.
Many like-minded individuals participate in these events. This can be used
effectively to connect with a large number of individuals.

Limitations of Internal Recruitment:
3. Train managers
Train managers to look for prospective internal recruitment candidates on their
teams. This may help when searching for the most qualified internal candidates
to know who has what skills for what position.
26
5. Use both types of recruiting
Use both internal and external recruiting when filling open positions. Review
the job description and the skills of your current employees before deciding
what type of hiring you'll use. You may also consider if you need a culture fit or
a culture change for the role, which may help you decide which method to use.
Sometimes you may choose to recruit both internally and externally for the
same position at the same time.
1.Increased costs
External recruitment typically costs more than internal recruitment.
Organizations may pay for a recruiting service, memberships for job search sites
and travel for long-distance candidates. Additionally, your company's HR team
spends more time on recruitment efforts, interviews and paperwork for bringing
on new employees.
2. Additional training
Outside hires require more training than internal employees on general company
policies and procedures. This can cost the company additional time and money.
Training for external employees can also result in reduced productivity during
the training period and as new employees get familiar with their responsibilities.
27
to know their colleagues and develop strategies. This may lead to a dip in
productivity during this period.
During this transition, you can encourage unity by organizing team activities,
lunches and collaborative projects. You can also consider assigning a "buddy"
to new hires that can help introduce them to other employees and answer their
questions.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
31
About research:
Research means finding answers to questions. It is a systematic search for
truth. Through research new and original information is obtained. To get them
researcher has to think logically, combine theories and ideas and use their
creativity. This is done by following set rules and procedures and by repeating
steps so that the results obtained are reliable and valid. Thus, research is a
collection of methods used systematically to produce knowledge. Thus, research
starts off with the problem, collection of data or facts, analyzing them critically
and reaches decisions based on the actual evidence.
Definitions of research:
32
carefully testing the conclusions to carefully determine whether they fit
the formulated hypothesis.”- Clifford woody
Research Methodology
Primary data
Primary data is the data is the data which the researcher collects for himself, for
the first time which is original in nature. It is also known as basic or fresh data.
It is obtained through observation or direct communication or by performing
surveys or descriptive research. It is the data a researcher collects to address the
specific problem at hand.
Primary
Data
5-point Interview
Questionnare Scale
1. Questionnaire or Schedule:
33
Questionnaire is the method commonly used for data collection in all branches
of social sciences.
Define:
Point scale method is an innovative method used for primary data collection. It
is a rating in which various tangible and intangible aspects relating to one’s
study can be monitored with the help of this method. The main advantage of
this method is that is the ratings obtained for various parameters provide a scope
for comparative study. And the main limitation is that since it is based on
personal views the markings may be biased.
3. Interview Method:
34
The following are the advantages of primary data:
2) Primary data is more suitable to the nature of the problem than secondary or
tertiary data.
5) Primary data is the only source for collection of qualitative data like personal
qualities and attitudes.
2) Primary data collection requires trained personnel for the purpose who are
dedicated towards field work.
5) Primary data collection is not always possible and has some constrains
pertaining to privacy.
35
Secondary data
Secondary data is the data collected processed and published by someone else
either for his personal use or for public use. This data is not originally collected
by the researcher but obtained from published or unpublished sources.
Secondary
data
Periodicals
Books Internet
& Journals
2) Secondary data helps to understand the problem and become familiar with
the topic.
3) At times primary research is not possible due to time, cost constrains and
security reasons secondary data then aids the researcher.
4) Secondary data can help to relate with the social ethos of a particular period.
36
The limitations of secondary data are:
1) Secondary data is the data collected by others for their needs and may not
suit us.
2) It is also difficult to test the accuracy of the data as this data is always old and
may at times be outdated.
2) 5 – point scale method on which marks are given to each policy of work life
balance which shall help to identify which policies are more preferred by
employees.
3) Personal interviews with the Center Manager and Managing Director in order
to know about the upcoming changes in the existing work- life balance policies.

SUGGESTIONS
From the finding I can suggest Crazy For Success Foundation, following points for
the more effectiveness of recruitment process:
Recruitment must be done by analyzing the job firstly which will make it easier and
will be beneficial from the company’s point of view.

More emphasis should be given on internet and advertisement so that more and
more candidates apply for the internship and it will be easy to find the right
employee among them.
The recruitment procedure should not be too lengthy and time consuming.
Company should try to use the internal recruitment process first because it incurs
less cost and acts as a motivational factor to the employee.
