EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Assessment means the process of judging and understanding an individual
or situation and determining their individual worth .It is the assessment
process helps the company to reduce the cost and at the same time also
helps to hire the qualitative and stable employees. As it is a Key stage in the
recruitment process Teamlease gave me the opportunity to study how
assessments are carried out at their organization. The information collected
throws light on need for assessment, the tools used in assessment, the
process of assessment and the various levels of assessment.
The primary data was collected by discussions with the Managers & and the
members of the Assessment team at Team Lease whereas the secondary
data has been collected by referring various documents and reports provided
by the organization and also from various search engines on the Web.
I also did a small field study for TeamLease on one of its clients belonging to
the tire industry to check if there Assessment Tool was measuring all
competencies required in the field .This was done by administering the Job
Analysis Questionnaire. This information also helped sourcing information for
my Competency mapping part of the project.
The other aspect of the project was Competency Mapping. As Competence
is what companies are focusing on these days as they believe an employee

with strong core competencies is the most valuable resource in an
organization. As part of my project I had the chance to get some on the job
experience in working with the ICP Team in the Assessment Department. I
worked with them on a daily basis and help to source information and helped
create a few Ideal Candidates profiles. An Ideal candidate profile is a
selection frame work to identify the ideal candidate for a job .The ICP can be
matched with assessment results to evaluate a candidates performance.
The Creation of the ICPs is identifying the Key roles and responsibilities
associated with the job and mapping the competencies required to perform
that job effectively for a particular Profile and creating a competency
dictionary. My focus was mainly on sales roles apart from helping out the
team in sourcing other data.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
Introduction to the Staffing Industry:
Staffing:-newest HR concept in India
The phenomenon of temporary staffing is finally catching up in India. While
industry experts estimate employee leasing to be $140 billion business
worldwide, the domestic staffing industry is yet to boast of big figures. The
scenario is however about to change considering the fact that in the near
future 2.5 to 3 percent of the workforce in the country will be hired on a
temporary basis. The IT industry being a trendsetter of sorts, will witness a
large percentage of such hiring in the next few years.
A temp is a temporary worker with an organization who is on a third-party
(staffing company) payroll. A well-accepted norm in global companies, many
large Indian organizations are now hiring a part of their workforce from
employee leasing firms. The reason is not too difficult to guessas
organizations focus on their core business strengths in a highly competitive
environment, the non-core functions are outsourced. The manpower for the
latter is provided by the employee leasing company. The contracts can
range from three to six months, and there are no hassles normally
associated with recruiting and retaining people.

Regarding this Ashok Reddy, managing director of TeamLease gave his view
i.e. , While so far, the leasing workforce was active in order to meet short-
term assignments of companies to augment their workforce during peak
periods or replace leave vacancies or sudden terminations, the current
trend has seen corporates going for leasing for specialized requirements,. It
is imperative that the demand for temporary workers has been fuelled by
companies looking for greater workforce flexibility, faced with fast paced
market changes, including changes in consumer demands and shorter
product life cycles.
The positions offered
It is a known fact that most companies prefer temporary staff to permanent
ones, furthermore there is a growing trend of outsourcing non-core functions
to outsourced staff. These range from accounts, front-office, sales, andmarketing and back-end operations. TeamLease one of Indias largest HR
outsourcing services companies in the space of employee leasing undertakes
outsourcing for diverse sectors, including banking, telecommunications,
FMCGs, IT, manufacturing and retail. The service spectrum caters to
functional activities involving office administration, technical support,
accounts and finance, HR support, marketing and sales.
In the IT industry, positions that are largely outsourced are people at the
entry level like programmers, software engineers, networking and system
administrators.

Types of services offered
These companies offer a plethora of staffing solutions to their clients. It
includes:
Temporary staffing:
Enabling the client to respond to short-term temporary manpower needs
with specific skill set requirements or for supplementing the workforce.
These services could be of a part-time, full-time or job sharing nature.
Temporary-to-permanent services:
The client can hire associates as temporary employees for a trial period of
employment; after a satisfactory trial period, a company has the opportunity
to add a temporary worker to its permanent staff; by moving the employee
from staffing companys payroll to that of its own.
Long-term contract:
Corporates can opt to enter into assignments for long-term and indefinite
periods of time with staffing co.s associates.
Managed services:
The staffing companies provide the onsite management of the contingent
workforce at the client facility. It retains the responsibility for the supervision
of the leased employees as well as the accountability for the results of the
facility or function that have been leased.

Benefits to the organization (Clients):
The trend of temporary staffing has been popularized in India by MNCs who
have been aware of the benefits in their experiences in other countries. The
advantages are many like:
The opportunity to concentrate on core areas as non-core areas are taken
care by experts, benefits of scale, long-term cost benefits and a responsible
employer image.
There is flexibility of employment, and ease of recruitment and replacements
Statutory complexities are also taken care of by the staffing company.
The future
Temporary staffing is expected to grow exponentially in the country, in the
near future. It is the quality and ease of availability of manpower that woulddefine the role employee leasing organizations stand to play, not only in non-
core functions but also certain core business areas of organizations, it is also
necessary for outsourcing partners to be equipped with vertical and
functional specializations, with key differentiators customized to the Indian
employment scenario.
In a recruitment market where the concept of full-time employment is
increasingly becoming a thing of the past, temporary staffing is emerging as
the viable option.

Introduction of the Company:
TeamLease was started by Ashok Reddy, Managing Director, Manish
Sabharwal, Chairman and Mohit Gupta, Director and is currently run by a
deep bench of professionals managed by the Executive Committee.
The idea of TeamLease came from the reality that the temp market in India
did not exist as an organized play while internationally it was an over $140
billion dollar industry. More importantly, it represented the entrepreneurial
triad the co-founders identified for their next venture; fun, profitable and
good for India. TeamLease journey has evolved into a powerful brand in the
employment industry in five years, one which is attempting to reduce India's
unemployment and raise her labor migration rates by giving the traditionally
disadvantaged (less skilled, less educated, people from small towns, first-
time job seekers, women, etc) a portal to formal sector jobs. Their motto is
Putting India to work.

Introduction to Competency Mapping:
One aspect of the Project deals with Competencies and Competency
Mapping. Competence is what companies are focusing on these days .They
believe in excelling and not competing. It is better to build a core
competency that will see them through crisis. And what other way than to
develop the people, for human resource is the most valuable resource any
organization has.
Organizations of the future will have to rely more on their competent
employees than any other resource. It is a major factor that determines the
success of an organization. Competencies are the inner tools for motivating
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 13
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7

employees, directing systems and processes and guiding the business
towards common goals that allow the organizations to increase its value
Definition :
A combination of knowledge, skills, abilities and personality of an individual
as applied to a role or job in the context of the present and future
environment that accounts for sustained success within the framework of
Organizational Values.
Competencies include the collection of success factors necessary for
achieving important results in a specific job or work role in a particular
organization. Success factors are combinations of knowledge, skills, and
abilities (more historically called KSAs) that are described in terms of
specific behaviors, and are demonstrated by superior performers in those
jobs or work roles. Competencies also Include Attributes which are personal
characteristics, traits, motives, values or ways of thinking that impact anindividuals behavior.
Knowledge Skill and abilities can be defined as classified as per the below:

History :
A team of Educationists lead by Benjamin Bloom in the USA in mid fifties laid
the foundation for identifying educational objectives and thereby defining
the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to be developed in education.
David McClelland the famous Harvard Psychologist has pioneered the
competency movement across the world. His classic books on "Talent and
Society", "Achievement Motive", "The Achieving Society", "Motivating
Economic Achievement" and "Power the Inner Experience" brought out
several new dimensions of the competencies. These competencies exposed
by McClelland dealt with the affective domain in Bloom's terminology.
The turning point for competency movement is the article published inAmerican Psychologist in 1973 by McClelland, wherein he presented that
traditional achievement and intelligence scores may not be able to predict
job success and what is required is to profile the exact competencies
required to perform a given job effectively and measure them using a variety
of tests.
Latter McBer a Consulting Firm founded by David McClelland and his
associate Berlew have specialized in mapping the competencies ofentrepreneurs and managers across the world. They even developed a new
and yet simple methodology called the Behavior Event Interviewing (BEI) to
map the competencies.

Itconsists of breaking a given role or job into its constituents task or activitiesand identifying the competencies (Technical, managerial, Behavioral,conceptual knowledge and Attitude and skills etc) needed to perform the
same successfully.
Competency Map. A competency map is a list of an individualscompetencies that represent the factors most critical to success ingiven jobs, departments, organizations, or industries that are part ofthe individuals current career plan.
Competency Mapping. Competency mapping is a process anindividual uses to identify and describe competencies that are themost critical to success in a work situation or work role
Competency profiling It is the process of identifying the knowledge,skills, abilities, attitudes, and judgment required for effective
performance in a particular occupation or profession. Competencyprofiling is business/company specific.
USE OF COMPETENCY MAPPING
Competency mapping serves a number of purposes. It is done for thefollowing functions:
Gap Analysis Role Clarity
Selection, Potential Identification, Growth Plans. Succession Planning. Restructuring Inventory of competencies for future planning

Introduction to Assessments:
Assessment means the act of judging a person or a situation
or an event with respect to its worth. Assessment is about
understanding multiple attributes of an Individual.
Assessment Tools and Their Uses
Different types of assessment tools and procedures that organizations
commonly use to conduct personnel assessment. Included are
techniques such as employment interviews and reference checks, as
well as various types of professionally developed assessment
instruments
1. Mental and physical ability tests
2. Achievement tests
3. Bio data inventories
4. Employment interviews
5. Personality inventories
6. Honesty and integrity measures
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 21
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
22/123
7. Education and experience requirements (including licensing and
certification)
8. Recommendations and reference checks
9. Assessment centers
10. Medical examinations
11. Drug and alcohol tests
It takes a good deal of knowledge and judgment to properly use
assessment tools to make effective employment-related decisions. To
ensure that test users have the necessary qualifications, some test
publishers and distributors require proof of qualifications before they
will release certain tests.
Role of Assessment in Recruitment
Assessment testing is designed to provide insight into an individual's
personality, ability, aptitude, knowledge, interest and can indicatethings like leadership potential, decision-making ability, and general
temperament. It is recognized that one of the most crucial aspects of
successful employment is for the individual employee to fit well into
the organizations cultural environment; that is, they share similar
values and work ethics. Also it is essential that the new employee
blend into the team and they are no personality clashes. Job profiles
can therefore be specific about the type of personality a successful
candidate must possess and psychometric tests are just another way
of objectively matching the right candidate to the right position. Tests
are developed over a number of years by occupational psychologists
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 22
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
23/123
and tested on thousands of subjects. And they are not designed to trap
you; there are no right and wrong answers. They can be used to:
identify the best candidate for a job;
support succession planning and internal promotions;
help with outsourcing during downsizing; and
Maximizing an organizations performance by improving
accuracy of selection;
Improving employee retention by better matching individuals to
jobs;
Avoiding the financial and personal costs associated, on both
sides, with poor recruitment decisions;
Optimizing the use of peoples capacities by helping focus
development activity;
Achieving better career management by matching individual
aspirations to their organizations opportunities.
Psychometric assessments fall into two broad categories:
Ability tests:
These examine someones ability in a particular skill typically verbal,
numerical or conceptual thinking skills. The tests nearly always use
what is called a forced-choice answer format where the person
completing the test has to select the right answer from a set of
alternatives. Aptitude tests are used to assess logical reasoning or
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 23
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
24/123
thinking performance and are often referred to as tests of maximum
performance.
Personality assessments:
These are designed to measure typical behavior and do not have right
or wrong answers. Personality questionnaires are concerned with the
way in which individuals characteristically relate to each other, how
they deal with problems and stress, their ability to deal with their own
and others emotions, their motivations, determination and general
outlook. Personality questionnaires are used for both selection and
development.
ADVANTAGES OF ASSESSMENT TESTS:
Assessment tests are an additional opportunity to demonstrateyour skills
Assessment tests provide a fairer assessment of your skills Assessment tests can help you understand more about yourabilities Tests provide organizations with a fair and objective method of
measurement.
Mostly, the tests are quick and easy to score thus giving
maximum information for a minimum of time.
The increased use of technology in test administration provides
even more flexibility. When used for recruitment purposes, they provide a reliable
indicator of job fit.
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 24
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
25/123
When used for development purposes, they help individuals to
raise their self awareness.
They are cost effective if used correctly.
It is impartial and objective
DISADVANTAGE OF ASSESSMENT TEST:
Initial training for users can be both expensive and time
consuming.
Providing feedback to all participants is time consuming but
essential.
Some participants may be uneasy about taking tests.
Tests do not measure everything, so they need to be part of a
bigger process.
Tests can be faked and learned, so they can sometimes give a
false picture of an individual.
Tests provide a snapshot rather than the whole picture.
If someone has had a bad experience of a psychometric test this
can lead to cynicism.
Internal candidates for jobs can sometimes feel disgruntled
because they are being treated in the same way as external
candidates.
Some tests are more complex to score; training is required for
administration and interpretation.
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 25
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
26/123
The initial set-up can be costly, including the initial purchase of
re-usable materials and training of test administrators and
interpreters.
Tests may not be able to measure the 'whole candidate' and will
typically be used in Conjunction with other information.
Psychometric tests can play a very useful role in both the
assessment and the development of individuals. They can give
objective evidence of the human attributes they measure, and have
been shown to be one of the best predictors of job performance
when used in selection. In practice, they will generally be used in
conjunction with other methods such as interviews in order to give
the 'whole picture'.
It is a valid and reliable instrument on the basis of which
inferences are made about Individual differences such as
personal characteristics or traits, underlying reasons for actions
and possible future behaviors. Psychometric Testing Falls Into
Three (3) Main Types:
Aptitude Tests which measure the ability to perform or
carry out different tasks
Interest Inventories which measure variations inmotivation, in the direction and strength of our interests,
and in values and opinions
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 26
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
27/123
Personality Tests which measure differences in the style or
manner of doing things and in the way people interact with
their environment and other people.
Use of Psychological Assessments:
1. The Cost of Hiring Mistakes
Today, the chances of making a bad hiring decision are greater than
ever, as applicants have become more skilled at presenting
themselves in resumes and interviews. Identifying potentially
counterproductive employees before you hire them is one of the
greatest challenges to a manager who makes hiring decisions. The
problem of hiring counterproductive employees has reached epidemic
proportions.
2. Application and Resume Falsification
More than 20 percent of data regarding previous employment
contained on applications or resumes is falsified to some extent.
Exaggeration, omission and falsification most often occur in critical job-
related areas.
3. Employee Theft
In retail establishments, employee theft is the biggest source of losses.
This is estimated at 43 percent of shrinkage losses, compared to only
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 27
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
28/123
30 percent attributed to shoplifting. Overall, employee theft can
increase the cost of retail merchandise as much as 15 percent. In
financial institutions, losses have nearly doubled in recent years.
Losses due to internal fraud have been about four times that of
burglary and robbery.
4. Pre-employment Screening Methods
Most companies use several selection methods when assessing job
applicants because no single applicant screening procedure alone can
determine employability. This decision was based on whether or not
these particular selection procedures are cost-effective in terms of
time, money and other resources needed to perform them and the
quality of the employees hired using them.
5. Interviews
Interviewing is probably the most common pre-employment screening
technique. However, interviewing may not be as effective as
employers would like because it is often a subjective, non-directed
process. Also, it can be difficult to determine truthfulness when
discussing work history and the level of skills and abilities.
Unfortunately, most interviewers are not formally trained in
interviewing techniques and may not have the ability to elicit the types
of information the employer needs.
6. Reference Checks
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 28
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
29/123
Reference checks are useful for verifying information on an application
form or a resume and for providing background information on an
applicant's work history. Unfortunately, reference checks do not always
yield reliable information because many employers are reluctant to say
anything negative about a past employee, and because misconduct,
even if it did occur, may have gone undetected.
7. Criminal History Checks
When an individual with a criminal history applies for a position of
trust, criminal history checks can alert an employer to this background
information. The drawbacks to criminal history checks are primarily
that they are costly and difficult to obtain and that any information
gathered may be incomplete or misleading.
8. Pre-employment Polygraph Exams
The purpose of pre-employment polygraph exams is to determine an
individual's suitability for employment based on the verification of
answers to job-related questions.
9. Psychological Inventories
Psychological inventories are an effective means of obtaining
information about an applicant. Psychological inventories used for pre-
employment screening are generally designed and validated in
accordance with legal requirements and professional guidelines.

Human competence is undoubtedly the key and critical element for the
success of an organization. It is a well recognized fact that the
competencies of the employees and a supportive organizational structure

referred to was documents got on the internet about assessments and
competencies by running a search on various search engines.The literature
described the processes, defined concepts, and provided in depth knowledge
about assessment. All literature referred to was connected to assessmentsand Competencies and they were all relevant to the study and helped in
understanding the various aspects of the topic in a better way and form a
broader perspective.

CHAPTER 2
Methodology
Understanding Competencies and Competency Mapping
This involved a deep understanding of Competencies and it
applications. This was done by extensive research on the topic from
various books like the Handbook of Competency Mapping Seema
Sanghai and various other websites
Developing Ideal Candidate Profiles
The first step involved sitting with the ICP team in the Assessments
department to understand what Ideal Candidate Profiles are and how
are they useful
The second step was sourcing data for Job Descriptions from the web
from various Job Portals and company websites.
The third step was going through the database Library of Team Lease
to help in sourcing more data.
The Fourth step was going to the Mandate Requisition (MRF) Forms
which are filled out by the HR Personal of Teamleases clients.
The Fifth step was clearly defining the levels of the competencies
required for each position in the hierarchy this was done by the
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 34
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
35/123
information attained from the above steps. Information for my Job
Analysis Questionnaire also helped me in this step
The sixth step was developing a competency dictionary clearly
defining the competencies
The next step was assigning suitable scores for each competency
.Since creation of ICPs is a new roll out for TeamLease there is no set
validation of the scores .So the scores assigned in the ICP created by
me was done with the Consultation of the Assessment expert(AE) of
the ICP Team.
The next step was creating a different Format for the ICPs so the
company can explore different options before they finalize on a set
format.
Understanding Assessments
Study on the Assessments was carried out by
Primary data
The primary data for the research was collected from the Managers
and team members of the Assessment Team.
I also spent time with the content developer of the Assessment Team
who showed me how he goes about developing framing questions for
the tests conducted.
He also gave me the opportunity to take of the Assessments Tests
which they administer. The test I took was 1) The Level C Assessment
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 35
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
36/123
Test and also a Hollandss Model Test which was developed byJohn
Holland who is famous for personality-job fit theory which
TeamLease follows in developing their content for some of their
Assessment Tests. This gave me a fair understanding on how
assessments test are developed.
Secondary data
Secondary data for the research was collected from the company
website, search engines and also documents available with the
company.
Comparison of Assessment test with the Field study of Candidates
who took the Assessment Test
The first step of this objective clear study of the assessment test the
candidates took.
This study was done by
Taking the Assessment Test to have a clear understanding of the
questions asked.
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 36
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
37/123
Meeting with the content developer of the Test to identify what
competencies are being measured
The next step was identifying what all competencies are required for
the particular profile to aid in the development of the Job Analysis
questionnaire .Information here was obtained from the findings while
working with the Ideal Candidate Profiling Team.
The next step was designing the Job Analysis questionnaire .This was
done by reascearcing various other Job Analysis Questionnaires
available on the web and then framing the questions so that it would
be able to capture all the competencies required for doing the job.
The Next step was getting the questionnaire filled out and analyzing
the findings for attaining the comparison results.

and experience related directly to your career goal.
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 38
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
39/123
The main benefit is getting an opportunity to learn directly from the
professionals who are already in the industry and make an effort to gain the
confidence and experience that you need to achieve your goals.
Since this particular project dealt with topics like Competencies and
Assessments I have gained valuable knowledge in the field of HR because
these two topics are related to HR fields such as
Recruitment
Training
Performance Appraisal
As a student of HR I am interested in getting into the recruitment line .So
understanding what competencies are and how Assessments tests are
developed will definitely be a value add when I enter into the field
Other benefits of doing this Internship are:
Gain Valuable Work Experience
Have an Edge in the Job Market
Networking Opportunities
Apply Classroom Knowledge
Gain Confidence

Last but not the least having worked in this team I would have opportunities
in doing Live Projects for the company in the coming year
BENEFITS TO THE ORGANISATION AND MY CONTRIBUTION
Having worked with the Assessment Team at TeamLease I have been
able to help the Organization in sourcing and Analyzing the
information and the creation of the ICPs will help them complete the
first Phase of the roll out and can start with the validation Phase at an
earlier date .
Having developed a new format for the ICPs the company can explore
new options in changing their template.
The project can serve as documentation for Teamlease to help new
joiners or future Interns in gaining an overview of what Assessmentsand Ideal Candidate Profiles are about.
With conducting the comparison the Assessment Team has been able
to identify what competencies are not being covered in their General
Employability assessment tool

CHAPTER 3
Data Analysis
Building of Generic Competency Map for Sales Roles and Developing an Ideal
Candidate Profile
The First objective of the project is to develop a Generic Competency
mapping for Sales roles .It will identify all the competencies needed for
successful completion of the job with proper descriptions. This will further
lead to the development of an Ideal Candidate Profile.
What is an ICP?
ICP means Ideal Candidate Profile
ICP is a document based on which assessment tools are developed.
Ideal means reaching a certain standard of excellence keeping knowledge,
skills and behavior in mind for a particular profile.
If we are able to source ideal candidates then the job fitment would be better
and attrition rates will reduce. The candidates will be checked against an ICP
using the assessment tools like questionnaires, self assessment tests, face-
to-face interviews and so on
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 41

8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
42/123
Assessment of the candidate starts with first touch point that is by any
interface that includes: Field, Outbound, Web, and Inbound and also a
second touch point which is the assessment executive at the Locational
office. ICP is generally used by the Sourcing team to gauge a profile and link
the same to a job fitment. Based on various set of questions mentioned in
the ICP, we measure various attributes resulting in profiling a candidate and
matching the same to an available Job.
Purpose of an ICP:
Accessing and hiring quality talent is becoming increasingly challenging in a
people driven economy. While talent exists in large numbers the toughest
task for recruitment professionals lies in understanding the availability of
dynamic talent pools and choosing the candidates that best fit with the job-
role and organization. It is imperative for companies to get it right the first
time, to have a healthy and productive workforce.
ICPs have been created to make the assessment more objective
(minimizing subjectivity) at different levels (Field, Out Bound, Inbound & AE)
and to capture the candidates exact profile.
In simpler terms, it is used to capture a candidates Strengths &
Weaknesses
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 42
-
8/6/2019 SIP_Phase 2_Report Team Lease 7
43/123
Attributes used in an ICP are to check on the Interest, Aptitude, Skill,
Knowledge, Behavior and Longevity / Stability of candidates.
Adherence to Uniformity, Quality & Processes
Types of ICP:
a. Generic ICP (Profile): ICP is designed according to the profiles in
general (All profiles), with respect to Ideal & Standard attributes required for
that profile (keeping roles & responsibilities in mind) in existing job market
conditions.
b. Specific ICP: This ICP is designed according to the specific need /
requirement of client. The ICP will be based on the MRF (Downloads of the
required attributes, roles & responsibilities for the job, culture, stress etc as
assigned by the client). The effectiveness of the Specific ICP (Mandate Job
Profile-ICP) will depend on complete understanding of the download by thePL, AE and Sourcing team.

to 60012345. When the candidate calls the data will be captured from
him/her and will be stored in the hire craft for the purpose of creating a
unique candidate ID. Once the candidate ID is done the data will be
transferred to the Candidate Life Cycle System (CLCS). After
transferring the data to the CLCS it will be processed further with the
assessment engine to find out the matching jobs for the candidate

profile. After finding out the matching jobs the candidate will be asked
to take the paid assessment test.
If in case the candidate is not willing to take the paid test, those
candidates will be maintained as stock and their data will be
maintained in the Hire craft.
If the candidate is willing to take the paid test, then the
particular candidate has to walk into the assessment center and
he/she will be asked to take the Level 1 and Level 2 assessment
test. After conducting the assessment test if the candidate is
able to meet the standard set by the assessment engine he/she
will get level 3 and Level 4 assessment test or else they will be
converted as stock and their data will be maintained in the Hire
craft.
Once the candidate performance is assessed by the assessment
engine the cumulative scores scored by the candidate will be find out
to check candidate performance by comparing it with the standards
set by MSICP (Mandatory Specific Ideal candidate Profile).
If candidate fails in meeting the standards for them the Gap
analysis will be made and training will be provided if the
candidate is willing to undergo for the training. If the candidate is able to meet the MSICP standards, he will be
placed if the particular candidate is interested to work with the

CHAPTER 4
Findings & Conclusion
Findings:
The assessment process is very much required for the assessing and
understanding the demands of any particular job profile like candidate
experience, pay scale, candidate skills and so on. Assessment is necessary
to be conducted so that the right candidate for the job would be selected
and hence which in turn would reduce the attrition rate in the company and
also the costs of the company would reduce since they need not hire more
employees again and again and also need not spend time and money in the
training process.The assessment process has direct relationship with the creation of ICPs play
an important role in making an assessment process success.
The ICPs (Ideal Candidate Profile) helps in reducing time as well as cost, as it
assess the job profile as well as matching candidate profile; it helps in finding
out the perfect candidate as per the clients requirements or as per job
profile demand.
Since the roll out of the creation of Ideal Candidate Profiles have been rolled
out recently there is a lot of data collection and Validation which has to be
SIBM - Human Resources |SIP - PHASE 2 REPORT 86
-

87/123
completed to ensure that the process is complete .Since the team gets most
of the data it requires from secondary data like web portals and
Management Requisition Forms but to check real validity of the ICP can be
done only through on the field Job Analysis .Even though on field visits are in
the second phase of the role out ,given the current pace the team is working
it will take a lot of time to reach the second phase due to the lack of
headcount. My suggestions to this process is
Increase the Head count of the current ICP team
Hire more Interns to help in the search and analysis of secondary data
If these steps can be done the Phase 2 can be rolled out much earlier and
the company can complete the roll out of this Ideal Candidate Profiling .A
detail documentation of the ICP should also be created which could justify
the relevance of creation. This document can help new jonnies gain some
understanding of the process much better and the can also share thisdocument with their clients to show them how they arrive at selecting the
right candidate for their company which will help them gain a competitive
edge.
With the study of assessments we learn that the costs for the company
regarding recruitment are very high; assessment process helps the company
to reduce the cost and at the same time also helps to hire the qualitative
and stable employees. A good assessment tool will be able to clearly identify
the candidates Knowledge, Skill & Abilities.

Advantages to the Candidates
Assessment is mainly needed for a candidate to know him / her
and to arrive at a fair view about his Interest (Preferential &
Derived), knowledge, skill and so on. It enables the candidate to fit
in the right field, at the right time in the job market in addition to
TeamLease.
Advantages to the employer
While talent exists in large numbers the toughest task for
recruitment professionals lies in understanding the availability of
dynamic talent pools and choosing the candidates that best fit the
job-role and organization.
It is imperative for companies to get it right the first time, to have
a healthy and productive workforce.
Currently Team Lease is changing the scoring pattern of the assessments
tests to match it with the scores of the ICPs so that when a candidate takes
