LITERATURE REVIEW
1. BEST PRACTICE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
THE PROJECT AIMS TO:
Promote the systematic review of current recruitment selection techniques in the VPS
Develop recommendations for the use of better practice tools, based on research and
case studies
Promote better selection techniques to improve the quality and speed of recruitment
actions within the VPS and the public sector.
After the completion of the program the authority decided to adopt the Practice
Recruitment and Selection Toolkitand develop a training program which will help in
the execution of this toolkit. The training program guides participants through best
practice recruitment and selection using course booklets, PowerPoint presentations,
practical exercises and additional reference material. The similar is the direction of my
project wherein I have to suggest various measures through which the HR department at
NFCL can practice the recruitment and selection process in the best efficient manner.
The HR department should be aware of the recent trends in Recruitment and Selectionso as to adopt them whenever required. They should be given proper training in
adopting various trends in the process.
According to Edwin B. Flippo, Recruitment in the process of searching the
candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the
organization. Recruitment is the activity that links the employers and the job
seekers. A few definitions of recruitment are:
A process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process
begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The
result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected.

It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing
schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate
numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.
Recruitment of candidates in the function preceding the selection, which helps create a
pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the management can select the
right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment
process is to expedite the selection process. Recruitment is a continuous for the future
human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist. Usually, the
recruitment process starts when a manager initiates an employee requisition for a specific
Vacancy or an anticipated vacancy.

RECRUITMENT VS SELECTION
Both recruitment and selection are the two phases of the employment process. The
differences between the two are:
1. Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization whereas selection involves the
series of steps by which the candidates are screened for choosing the most suitable persons for
vacant posts.
2. The basic purpose of recruitments is to create a talent pool of candidates to enable the
selection of best candidates for the organization, by attracting more and more employees to
apply in the organization whereas the basic of selection process is to choose the right candidate
to fill various positions in the organization.
3. Recruitment is a positive process i.e. encouraging more employees to apply whereas
selection is a negative process as it involves rejection of the unsuitable candidates.
4. Recruitment is concerned with tapping the sources of human resources whereas selection is
concerned with selecting the most suitable candidate through various interview and tests.
5. There is no contract of recruitment established in recruitment whereas selection results in
contract of service between the employer and the selected employee.

organizations attract, test, recruit, employ and retain quality staff with a minimal amount
of administration. Online recurrent websites can be very helpful to find candidates that
ate very actively looking for work and post their resumes online, but they will not attract
the passive candidates who might respond favorably to an opportunity that is resented
to them through other means. Also, some candidates who are actively looking to change

jobs are hesitant to put their resumes on the job boards, for fear that their current
companies, co-workers, customers or other might see their resumes.
Job Search Engines:-
The emergence of vertical search engines, allow job-seekers to search across multiple
website. Some of these new search engines index and list the advertisements of
traditional job boards. These sites tend to aim for providing a one-stop shop for job-
seekers. However, there are many other job search engines which index pages solely
from employers website, choosing to bypass traditional job boards entirely. These
vertical search engines allow job-seekers to find new positions that may not be advertised
on traditional job boards, and online recruitment websites.
SELECTION
MEANING AND DEFINITION
After identifying the source of human resources, searching for prospective employees and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization, the management has to perform the
function of selecting the right employees at the right time .The oblivious guiding policy
in section is the intention to choose the best qualified and suitable job candidate job for
each unfilled job. The objective of the selection decision is to choose the individual who
can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates.
40 | P a g e
7/30/2019 Recruitement&Selection
41/71
ESSENTIALS OF SELECTION PROCEDURE
The selection process can be successful if the following requirements are satisfied:
1. Some one should have the authority to select. This authority comes from the
employment requisition, as developed by an analysis of the work load and work force.
2. There must be some standard of personnel with which a prospective employee may
be compared, i.e. a comprehensive job description and job specification should be
available beforehand.
3. There must be a sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of
employees may be selected.
Significance of selection process
Selection of personnel to man to organization is a crucial, complex and continue
function. The ability of an organization to attain its goals effectively and to develop in a
dynamic environment largely depends upon the effectiveness of its selection programme.
If right personnel are selected, the remaining functions of personnel management become
easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at optimum level and
employee relations will be consumption. If the right person is selected, he is a valuable
asset to the organization and is faulty selection is made. The employee will become a
liability to the organization.

FACTORS AFFECTING SELECTION DECISIONS
The goal of selection is to short out or eliminate those judged unqualified to meet the job
and organization requirements, where as the goal of recruitment is to create a large cool
of persons available and willing to work. Thus, it is said that recruitment tends to be
positive while selection tends to be somewhat negative.
A number of factors affect the selection decisions of candidates. The important among
them are:
(i) Profile matching.
(ii) Organizational and social environment.
(iii) Successive hurdles.
(iv)Multiple correlations.
(i) Profile matching: Tentative decision regarding the selection of candidates (who are
known) is taken in advance. The scores secured by these known candidates in various
tests are taken as a standard to decide the success or failure of other candidates at each
stage. Normally the decisions about the known candidates is taken at interview stage.
Possible care is also taken to match the candidates bio data with the jobs specifications.
(ii) Organizational and social environment: some candidates, who are eminently
suitable for the job, may fail as successful employees due to varying organisation and
42 | P a g e
7/30/2019 Recruitement&Selection
43/71
social environment. Hence candidates specifications must match with not only job
specifications but also with organizational social environmental requirements.
(iii) Successive hurdles: In this method hurdles are created at every stage of selection
process therefore, applicants must successfully pass each and every screening device in
case of successive hurdles as shown in figure 5.1
(iv) Multiple correlations: Multiple correlations is based on the assumptions that a
deficiency in one factor can be counter balanced by an excess amount of another. A
candidate is routed through all the selection steps before a decision is made. The
composite test score index is taken into accounting the selection tests. Hence, for broader
line cases multiple correlation method is useful and for other successive hurdles method
is useful.
Selection Procedure
There is no standard selection process that can be followed by all the companies in all the
areas. Companies may follow different selection techniques or methods depending upon
the size of company, nature of the business, kind and number of persons to be employed,
government regulation to be followed etc. Thus, each company may follow anyone or the
possible combinations of methods of selection in the order convenient or suitable to it.
Following are the selection methods generally followed by the companies.
43 | P a g e

Selection procedure employs several methods of collecting information about the
candidate's qualifications, experience, physical and mental ability, nature and behavior,
knowledge, aptitude and the like for judging whether a given applicant is or is not
suitable for the job. Therefore, the selection procedure is not a single act but is essentially
a series of methods or stages by which different types of information can be secured
through various selection techniques. At each step, facts may come to light which are
useful for comparison with the job requirement and employee specifications.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Human resource" and "Manpower" redirect here. For other uses, see Human resource
(disambiguation) and Manpower (disambiguation).Human resources is the set of individuals who
make up the workforce of an organization,business sectoror an economy. "Human capital" is
sometimes used synonymously with human resources, although human capital typically refers to
a more narrow view; i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and can contribute to an
organization. Likewise, other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labor", and
simply "people".The professional discipline and business function that oversees an organization's
human resources is called human resource management (HRM, or simply HR).
Human resource consulting is an $18.4 billion industry (as of 2006) [1] that has emerged
frommanagement consulting and addresseshuman resource management tasks and decisions.
The following are core fields around which most HR consultancies are based:
Human Capital, including remuneration (also called total rewards), employee rewards
and incentive programs, and talent acquisition and management
Health & Benefits; i.e., orchestrating optimal employee health plans with the carriers

HR consultancies vary in their ranges of services and sizes, with many consultants and
academicians breaking off to form their own practices. In 2007, there were 950 HR consultancies
globally, constituting a USD $18.4 billion market. The top five revenue generating firms

In the corporate vision, employees are viewed as assets to the enterprise, whose value is
enhanced by development.[1] Hence, companies will engage in a barrage ofhuman resource
managementpractices to capitalize on those assets.
In governing human resources, three major trends are typically considered:
1. Demographics: the characteristics of a population/workforce, for example, age, gender or
social class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offerings,
insurance packages etc.
2. Diversity: the variation within the population/workplace. Changes in society now mean
that a larger proportion of organizations are made up of "baby-boomers" or older
employees in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of "workplace diversity"
advocate an employee base that is a mirror reflection of the make-up of society insofar as
race, gender, sexual orientation etc.
3. Skills and qualifications: as industries move from manual to more managerial professions
so does the need for more highly skilled graduates. If the market is "tight" (i.e. not
enough staff for the jobs), employers must compete for employees by offering financial
rewards, community investment, etc.
In regard to how individuals respond to the changes in a labor market, the following must be
understood:

Geographical spread: how far is the job from the individual? The distance to travel to work
should be in line with the pay offered, and the transportation and infrastructure of the area
also influence who applies for a post.
Occupational structure: the norms and values of the different careers within an organization.
Mahoney 1989 developed 3 different types of occupational structure, namely, craft (loyalty
to the profession), organization career (promotion through the firm) and unstructured
(lower/unskilled workers who work when needed).
Generational difference: different age categories of employees have certain
characteristics, for example, their behavior and their expectations of the organization.
Concerns about the terminology
One major concern about considering people as assets or resources is that they will be
commoditized and abused. Modern analysis emphasizes that human beings are not
"commodities" or "resources", but are creative and social beings in a productive enterprise. The
2000 revision ofISO 9001, in contrast, requires identifying the processes, their sequence and
interaction, and to define and communicate responsibilities and authorities. In general, heavily
unionised nations such as France and Germany have adopted and encouraged such approaches.
Also, in 2001, the International Labour Organization decided to revisit and revise its 1975
Recommendation 150 on Human Resources Development.[2] One view of these trends is that a

strong social consensus on political economy and a good social welfare system facilitateslabor
mobility and tends to make the entire economy more productive, as labor can develop skills and
experience in various ways, and move from one enterprise to another with little controversy or
difficulty in adapting.Another important controversy regards labor mobility and the broader
philosophical issue with usage of the phrase "human resources". Governments of developing
nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration or "guest workers" as
appropriating human capital that is more rightfully part of the developing nation and required to
further its economic growth. Over time, the United Nations have come to more generally support
the developing nations' point of view, and have requested significant offsetting "foreign aid"
contributions so that a developing nation losing human capital does not lose the capacity to
continue to train new people in trades, professions, and the arts.[
Antecedent theoretical developments
HR spawned from the human relations movement, which began in the early 20th century due to
work by Frederick Taylorin lean manufacturing. Taylor explored what he termed "scientific
management" (later referred to by others as "Taylorism"), striving to improve economic
efficiency in manufacturing jobs. He eventually keyed in on one of the principal inputs into the
manufacturing processlaborsparking inquiry into workforce productivity.[1]

The movement was formalized following the research ofElton Mayo, whose Hawthorne
studies serendipitously documented how stimuli unrelated to financial compensation and
working conditionsattention and engagementyielded more productive workers.
[2] Contemporaneous work byAbraham Maslow, Kurt Lewin,Max Weber, Frederick Herzberg,
andDavid McClelland formed the basis for studies in organizational behaviorandorganizational
theory, giving room for an applied discipline.
Birth and evolution of the discipline
By the time enough theoretical evidence existed to make a business case for strategic workforce
management, changes in the business landscape (a l Andrew Carnegie,John Rockefeller) and in
public policy (a l Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Franklin D. Roosevelt and theNew Deal) had
transformed the employer-employee relationship, and the discipline was formalized as
"industrial and labor relations". In 1913, one of the oldest knownprofessional HR associations
the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Developmentwas founded in England as the Welfare
Workers' Association, then changed its name a decade later to the Institute of Industrial Welfare
Workers, and again the next decade to Institute of Management before settling upon its current
name.[3] Likewise in the United States, the world's first institution of higher education dedicated

to workplace studiesthe School of Industrial and Labor Relationswas formed at Cornell
University in 1945.[4]
During the latter half of the 20th century, union membership declined significantly, while
workforce management continued to expand its influence within organizations. "Industrial and
labor relations" began being used to refer specifically to issues concerning collective
representation, and many companies began referring to the profession as "personnel
administration". In 1948, what would later become the largest professional HR association
the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)was founded as the American Society
for Personnel Administration (ASPA).[5]
Nearing the 21st century, advances in transportation and communications greatly facilitated
workforce mobility and collaboration. Corporations began viewing employees as assets rather
than as cogs in machine. "Human resources management", consequently, became the dominant
term for the functionthe ASPA even changing its name to SHRM in 1998. [5] "Human capital
management" is sometimes used synonymously with HR, although human capital typically refers
to a more narrow view of human resources; i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and can
contribute to an organization. Likewise, other terms sometimes used to describe the field include

"organizational management", "manpower management", "talent management", "personnel
management", and simply "people management".
IN POPULAR MEDIA
HR has been portrayed in several instances of popular media. On the U.S. television series
ofThe Office, HR representative Toby Flenderson is sometimes seen as a nag because he
constantly reminds coworkers of company policies and government regulations.[6] Long-running
American comic stripDilbert also frequently portrays sadistic HR policies through
characterCatbert, the "evil director of human resources".[7] An HR manager is also the title
character in the 2010 Israeli filmThe Human Resources Manager.
Business function
HR's overarching mission has been compartmentalized by industry expert Dave Ulrich as four-
fold: (1) aligning HR and business strategy (strategic partner), (2) re-engineering organization
processes (administration expert), (3) listening and responding to employees (employee
champion), and (4) managing transformation and change (change agent).[8]
In practice, HR is responsible for employee experience during the entire employment lifecycle. It
is first charged with attracting the right employees through employer. It then must select the right
employees through the recruitment process. HR then onboards new hires and oversees
theirtraining and development during their tenure with the organization. HR assesses talent
through use ofperformance appraisals and then rewards them accordingly. In fulfillment of the

latter, HR may sometimes administerpayroll and employee benefits, although such activities are
more and more being outsourced, with HR playing a more strategic role.
At the macro-level, HRs in charge of overseeing organizational leadership and culture. HR also
ensures compliance with employment and labor laws, which differ by geography, and often
oversees health, safety, and security. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally
authorized to hold a collective bargaining agreement, HR will typically also serve as the
company's primary liaison with the employees' representatives (usually a labor union).
Consequently, HR, usually through industry representatives, engages in lobbying efforts with
governmental agencies (e.g., in the United States, the United States Department of Laborand
theNational Labor Relations Board) to further its priorities.
The discipline may also engage in mobility management, especially pertaining to expatriates;
and it is frequently involved in the merger and acquisitionprocess. HR is generally viewed as a
support function to the business, helping to minimize costs and reduce risk.[9]
Careers
There are almost half a million HR practitioners in the United States and thousands more
worldwide.[10] The Chief HR Officeris the highest ranking HR executive in most companies and
typically reports directly to the Chief Executive Officerand works with the Board of
Directors on CEO succession.[11][12]
Within companies, HR positions generally fall into one of two categories: generalist and
specialist. Generalists support employees directly with their questions, grievances, and projects.
They "may handle all aspects of human resources work, and thus require an extensive range of

their employer's needs."[13]Specialists, conversely, work in a specific HR function. Some
practitioners will spend an entire career as either a generalist or a specialist while others will
obtain experiences from each and choose a path later. Being an HR manager consistently ranks
as one of the best jobs, with a #4 ranking by CNN Money in 2006 and a #20 ranking by the same
organization in 2009, due to its pay, personal satisfaction, job security, future growth, and benefit
to society.[14][15]
Human resource consulting is a related career path where individuals may work as advisers to
companies and complete tasks outsourced from companies. In 2007, there were 950 HR
consultancies globally, constituting a USD $18.4 billion market. The top five revenue generating
firms were Mercer, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, Watson Wyatt (now part of Towers
Watson), Aon (now merged with Hewitt), and PwC consulting.[16] For 2010, HR consulting was
ranked the #43 best job in America by CNN Money.[17]
(ASPA), the organization operated on a volunteer basis until 1964, at which time it established
an official headquarters in Berea, Ohio, and began hiring staff members. In 1984, the
headquarters was moved to Alexandria, Va., and in 1989, the organization officially changed its
name to the Society for Human Resource Management. Today, SHRM has over 340 staff
members and over 250,000 members in 140 countries.[2]
SHRM is involved in lobbying governmental bodies regarding workplace law and industry
practice. For example, in April 2008, SHRM announced in a press release that its representatives
had appeared before the US Senate to petition for changes in the administration of the Family
and Medical Leave Act.[3]

Additionally, the organization announced in the November 2003 issue of its HR Magazine that it
had submitted a position paper to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suggesting
factors the agency should consider when determining how to amend the definition of the term
"job applicant" for the purposes of record keeping required by companies in order to comply
with affirmative action and anti-discrimination laws.[4]In 2003, SHRM conducted an e-mail
survey of its members intended to gauge the effectives of the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC), and provide feedback on how the commission could improve its
operations. It presented the results of this survey to the EEOC at a meeting on September 8,
2003.[5]
In November 2006, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of the U.S. Department
of Laborestablished an alliance with SHRM to encourage and promote the employment of
people with disabilities.[6]Michael Aitkin serves as SHRM's Director of Governmental Affairs.
Lisa Horn is SHRM's Manager of Health Care. Michael Layman is Manager of Labor and
Employment Policy for SHRM. These three lead several employer association coalitions on
policy issues including immigration, workplace flexibility, and pay equity.

SUGGESTION
Manpower requirement for each department in the company is identified well in advance.
If the manpower requirement is high and the recruitment team of the HR department alone
cannot satisfy it, then help from the placement agencies is needed.
Time management is very essential and it should not be ignored at any level of the process...
The recruitment and selection through placement agencies as the last resort and is utilized
only when need.
The recruitment and selection procedure should not to lengthy and time consuming.
The candidates called for interview should be allotted timings and it should not overlap with
each other.
