Executive Summary
The objective of the study is to analyze the actual recruitment process in BHEL and to
evaluate how far this process confirm to the purposes underlying the operational aspects of
the industry. How far the process is accepted by it? The study on recruitment highlights the
need of recruitment in BHEL.
Human resource is a most valuable asset in the Organization. Profitability of the
Organization depends on its utilization. If their utilization is done properly Organization will
make profit otherwise it will make loss. If a good dancer appointed as a Chief Executive
Officer of a Company, he may not run the business. So right man should be procured at right
place in right time, otherwise their proper utilization may not be done. To procure right man
at right place in right time, some information regarding job and job doer is highly essential.
These information are obtained through Job Analysis, Job Descriptions, Job Specifications.
BHEL procure manpower in a very scientific manner . It gets information by use of these
important documents like Job Analysis, Job Descriptions and Job Specifications. Without
these recruitment may be unsuccessful.
Research MethodologyOBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
In BHEL the recruitment policy spells out the objective and provides a framework for implementation of the recruitment programme in the form of procedures. The company involves a commitment to broad principles such as filling vacancies with best qualified individuals.
The recruitment policy in a company may embrace spell issue such as the extent of promotion from within, attitudes of enterprise in recruiting old, handicapped and minor individuals, minority group members, parttime employees and relatives of present employees.
In a company BHEL, there usually a staff unit attached with personnel or an industrial relations department designated as employment or recruitment office. This specialization Of recruitment enables staff personnel to become highly skilled in recruitment techniques and their evaluation.
However, recruitment remains the line responsibility as far as the personnel requisition forms are originated by the personnel, who has the final words in the acceptance or rejection of a particular applicant. Despite this the staff personnel have adequate freedom in respect of sources of manpower to be tapped and the procedure to be followed for this purpose
SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY SCOPE 1. To structure the Recruitment policy of BHEL for different categories of
employees.
2. To analyse the recruitment policy of the organization.
3. To compare the Recruitment policy with general policy.
4. To provide a systematic recruitment process.
5. It extends to the whole Organization. It covers corporate office, sites and works appointments all over India. 6. It covers workers, Clerical Staff, Officers, Jr. Management, Middle Management and Senior Management cadres.
IMPORTANCE
Without focusing the pattern of management, organization philosophy highlights on achieving a surely where all citizens (employees) can lead a richer and fuller life. Every organisation, therefore, strikes for greater productivity, elimination of wastes, lower costs and higher wages, so the industry needs a stable and energetic labours force that can boast of production by increased productivity. To achieve these objectives a good recruitment & selection process is essential. By which industry strikes right number of persons and right kind of persons at the right time and at right places through and the planning period without hampering productivity.

perceptions, thoughts and reactions of the executives, employees/workers and trade union members of
the organization.
I have used the secondary source like diary, books, magazines and other relevant records for collection
of data to know about the industry as well as the respondent.

used was that of questionnaire & interview for primary data & an extensive literature survey for
secondary data.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The questionnaire was used as the primary instrument for the collection of primary data which
contained open-ended questions to chance response. In addition the personal interview method was
employed to draw out answers to subjective questions, which could not be adequately answered
through the use of questionnaire.
Preparing Questionnaire
The first task in the process of measuring the level of recruitment of the candidates in BHEL was to
prepare questionnaire. For this purpose a number of questionnaire we studied and finally a
questionnaire where framed.

DEFINATION
Recruitment is the process is seeking out and attempting to attract individuals in external labor
markets, who are capable of and interested in filling available job Vacancies .Recruitment is an
intermediate activity whoseprimary function is to serve as a link between human resource planning on
the one hand and selection on the other.
To Recruit Means To Enlist, Replenish Or Reinforce.
Recruitment begins by specifying the human resource requirements, initiating activities and actions to
identify the possible sources from where they can be met, communicating the information about the
jobs, term and conditions, and prospectus they offer, and enthusiast people who meet the requirement
to respond to the initiation by applying for the jobs.
AIM
The aim of recruitment is the information obtained from job description and job specification along
with precise staffing standards from the basis for determinig manpower requirement to attain the
organizational objective.
Recruitment Needs Are Of Three Types: 1 Planned, anticipated and unexpected planned need arise from changes, in organization and retirement policy. 2 Resignations, deaths and accidents and illness give rise to unexpected needs. 3
Anticipated needs refer to those movements in personnel which an organization can predict by
studying trends in the internal and external requirements.
Features Of Recruitment: 1 Process or series of activities rather than a single act or event. 2 A linking activity as it brings together those with the jobs(employer) and those seeking jobs(prospective employees). INTERNAL SOURCE OF RECRUITMENT
Internal Transfer/Promotion with necessary screening, training and selection to meet the specified
requirement. It would be desirable to utilize the internal sources before going outside to attract the
candidates. The two categories of internal sources including a review of the present employees and
nomination of the candidates by employees.
Merits and Demerits of Internal Recruitment. Merits. Following are the merits of the internal source of recruitment; 1. Increase in Morale Recruitment through the internal sources, particularly promotion,
increases the morale of the employee. Every body in the organization know that they can be promoted
to a higher post, their morale will be boosted and their work efficiency will increase.
2. Better Selection The people working in the enterprise are known by the management and for selection higher post does not carry any risk as the employees are known. 3. Economical Internal
Internal sources is highly economical because no expenditure is involved in locating the source of
recruitment and no time is wasted in the long process of selection. More over, these employees do not
need extensive training because they already know about all the works of the enterprise.
4. Labor- turnover is Reduced
When the employees know that they can be promoted to higher posts, they do not leave the enterprise.
As a result of this policy labour turnover is reduced and the status of the company increases.
5. Better Labour-Management Relation When the internal source of recruitment is used the employees remains satisfied which leads to the establishment of better labour-management relationship.
Demerits The internal source of recruitment of employees suffer from the following demerits: 1. Check on Young Blood The defect of the internal source of recruitment is that the young people fully equipped with the modern technical knowledge remain excluded from the entry in enterprise. As a result, the old people run the enterprise with the old ideas and experience. 2.Limited choice.
The internal recruitment of the employees reduces the area of choice. The reduction in the area of
choice means less number of applicants. The choice is to be made out of people working in the
enterprise.
3.Encourages Favoritism.
Internal source encourages favoritism in this system, the superiors usually select their favorites.
Sometimes even a less capable person is selected which harms the enterprise. In this system ,
generally the personal impression of the managers about the employee is given preference for
selection.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT An external source of Recruitment is considered from the combination of consultant and Advertisement Merits and Demerits of External Recruitment Merits. The external recruitment has the following merits: 1.Entry of young blood. Recruitment through external source brings in new persons with modern ideas which can be profitable for the organization. 2.Wide choice. The use of external source of recruitment increases the number of candidates and widen the choice. The managers judge the capabilities of the applicants and select the best ones for appointment. 3.Less Chances of Favouritism. All the candidates, under this system of recruitment, are new for the managers and this exclude the possibility of favouratism
Demerits. In spite of many merits, the system of recruitment from external sources is not free from defects. Its chief demerits are: 1.Decrease in Morale of Existing Employees.
By adopting the system of external recruitment the chances of promotion of the present employees
come to an end. Since there is no hope of any promotion the morale of the employee decreases and
they do not perform their work with dedication.
2.Chances of Wrong Selection.
There are chances of wrong selection due to non-availability of information in case of external
recruitment. If the wrong selection will upset the working condition of the organization.
3.Costly Source.
The external source of recruitment involves expensive advertisement, long selection process and
training after selection which increases organizational expenditure.
4.Increase in Labour-turnover. When the employees know that they cannot be appointed on high posts in the enterprise, they leave the organization at the first available opportunity, and as a result an increase in the labour-turnover which lowers the prestige or the reputation of the enterprise. 5.Detorioration in Labour-Management Relationship. Making use of the external source of recruitment affects the present employees and there is an increase in the incidents of strikes and lock-out
OBJECTIVES OF RECRUITMENT

Steps on Recruitment Process The recruitment process consist of the following steps: •
Generally begins when the personnel department receives requisitions for recruitment from any
department of the company the personnel requisitions contains detail about the positions to be filled.
number of persons to be recruited, required from the candidate, terms and conditions of employment
and at the time by which the persons should be available appointment etc.
•
Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees. •
Identifying the prospective employees with required characteristics. •
Communicating the information about the organization, the job and the terms and conditions of service. •
Encouraging the identified candidates to apply for jobs in the organization. •
Evaluating the effectiveness of recruitment process.
CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Human resource Management classically pertains to planning; recruitment, selection, placement,
induction, compensation, maintenance, development, welfare etc. of Human Resources of any
organisation to enable the organization to meet its objective while also enabling the human resources
to attain their individual goals.
As is evident from the definition of the concept the entire theme revolves centrally around human
resource and its role in enabling simultaneous satisfaction of individual and organizational goals.
The immediate conclusion that follows from this is that the prime movers of the organisation are the
individuals. The process of bringing employees into the folds of organisation is termed as recruitment
and can be unambiguously treated as the central pillar for foundation stone of the entire concept of
human resource management.
It is easy to see why recruitment has accorded such a high position out of the various facets of human resource management. The reason is simply that unless one has human resource in the organisation whom will the human resource managers manage or whose energy will they channalise productively and usefully. Keeping this idea into mind this Projects is an attempt to study various options that are available both theoretically as well as practically for an organisation to launch itself into the task of recruitment.
METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF RECRUITMENT In a company recruitment sources indicates where human resources may be procured, the recruitment methods and techniques deal with how these resources should be tapped. As soon as the manpower manager has determined the personal qualities required on the part of an individual to fill an vacant position and visualized the possible sources of candidates with these qualities, his next step relates to making contact with such candidates. There are commonly three methods of recruitment which company follows: 1.DIRECT METHOD2. INDIRECT METHOD3.THIRD PARTY METHOD
The BHEL has the following way which it follows for recruiting the person A.PURPOSE The purpose of the company is to define the procedure of Recruitment & Selection in the company. B.SCOPE The scope of the company is to find the individuals seeking employment in the company. C.RESPONSIBILITY The Responsibility is on the Manager-HRD/Operations Director-EAI Systems/Operation Director-TPB-India. D.AUTHORITY The Authority in the company is commenstrate with responsibility E.PROCEDURE STEPS 1.MAN POWER RECRUITMENT • As and when the need arises , the Manpower Requirement Form is dually filled by the HOD/Group Manager of the concerned department and forwarded to the HRD Department. • The HRD Department initiates activity on the recruitment once the
"Manpower Requirement" form is approved by MD. • All "Manpower Requirement "Forms are maintained by the HRD Department. 2.IDENTIFYING SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT On the basis of Manpower Requirement Form a recruitment source is identified. The source of recruitment could be external or internal. INTERNAL SOURCE OF RECRUITMENT • Internal Transfer/Promotion with necessary screening, training and selection to meet the specified requirement. It would be desirable to utilize the internal sources before going outside to attract the candidatesThe two categories of internal sources including a review of the present employees and nomination of the candidates by employees.
The COMPANY suggests that the effective utilization of internal sources necessitates an
understanding of their skills and information regarding relationships of jobs. This will provide
possibilities for horizontal and vertical transfers within the enterprise eliminating simultaneous
attempts to lay off employees in one department and recruitment of employees with similar
qualification for another department in the company. Promotions and Transfers within the plant where
an employee is best suitable improves the morale along with solving recruitment problems.
These measures can be taken effectively if we established job families through job analysis
programmes combining together similar jobs demanding similar employee characteristics. Again,
employee can be requested to suggest promising candidates. Sometimes in a company the employees
are given prizes for recommending a candidate who has been recruited. The usefulness of this system
in the form of loyalty and its wide practice, it has been pointed that it gives rise to cliques posing
difficulty to management.
Therefore, in this company before utilizing the system attempts should be made to determine through research whether or not employees thus recruited are effective on particular jobs. Usually, internal sources can be used effectively if the number of
vacancies are not very large, adequate, employee records are maintained, jobs do not demand originality lacking in the internal sources, and employees have prepared themselves for promotion. EXTERNA L SOURCE S OF RECRUITMENT An external source of Recruitment is considered from the combination of the following options: CONSULTANT Consultant are given the requirement specifying qualifications, experience and all other necessary details. In consultant we considers the employment agencies, educational and technical institute, casual, labor and mail applicants, trade unions and other sources. Our company have developed markedly in large cities in the form of consultancy services. Usually this company facilitate recruitment of technical and professional personnel. Because of their specialization, they effectively assess the needs of their clients and aptitude and skills of the specialized personnel. They do not merely bring an employer and an employee together but computerize lists of available talents, utilizing testing to classify and used
advance techniques of vocational guidance for effective placement purposes.
Educational and technical institutes also forms an effective source of manpower supply. There is an
increasing emphasis on recruiting students from different management institutes and universities'
commerce and management departments by recruiters for positions in sales, accounting, finance,
personnel and production. These students are recruited as management trainees and then placed in
special company training programmes. They are not recruited for particular positions but for
development as future supervisors and executive.
Indeed , this source provides a constant flow of new personnel with leadership personalities.
Vocational schools and industrial training institutes provides specialized employees, apprentices, and
trainees for semiskilled and skilled jobs. Persons trained in these schools and institutes can be placed
on operative and similar jobs with a minimum of in plant training. However, recruitment of these
candidates must be based on realistic and differential standards established through research reducing
turnover and enhancing productivity.
The enterprise depends to some extent upon casual labour or"applicant at the gate" and mail applicants. The candidates may appear personally at
the company's employment office or send their applications for possible vacancies. According to
company the quality and quantity of such candidates depend on the image of the company in
community. Prompt response to these applicants proves very useful for the company. The company
find that this source is uncertain, and applicants reveal a wide range of abilities necessitating a careful
screening. Despite these limitations, it forms a highly inexpensive source as the candidates themselves
come to the gate of the company. It also provides measures for a good public relations and
accordingly , the candidates visiting the company must be received cordially.
Trade unions are playing an increasingly important role in labour supply.
In several trades, they supply skilled labour in sufficient numbers. They also determine the order in
which employees are to be recruited in the organization. In industries where they do not take active
part in recruitment, they make it a point the employees laid off are given preference in recruitment.
ADVERTISEMENT •
All recruitment advertisements are placed centrally by the HRD Department. The advertisement is drafted by HRD Department in consultation withthe concerned Department.•All related documents of Advertisements released are maintained in the"Advertisement" file.
In addition to the above sources, several organizations develop sources through voluntary organizations such as clubs, attracts employees of competitors looking for a change or good prospectus for employment, utilize women, older workers and physically
handicapped for specific positions where they are best suitable, and use the "situation wanted" advertisement in newspapers.3.SELECTIONA .SCREENING/SHORTLISING
Resumes received from consultants and/or from the advertisements released in Newspaper/Magzine are screened by HRD Department in consultation with the concerned department.B.INTERVIEW CALLThe shortlisted candidates are contacted for interview through an interviewcall letter/telephone call/e-mai l or through the consultants
C.INTERVIEW SCHEDULE Interview schedule is prepared and sent to the concerned Department's HOD, Interview panel and a copy is kept for HRD Department records. The Interview Schedule include the following requirement.
CANDIDATES WILLINGNESS TO JOIN THE COMPANY
From the chart it can be understood that most of the employees are inspired by the
working environment of the company which resembles the personal traits of the Indians. I
can also see that matters much followed reputation of the company and salary package
which comprised 11% and 16% respectively. Job prospect plays a minor role in the
minds of a candidate who had already joined the company. Location of the company
(which comprised 5% of the sample size) where majority of the employees are qualified
with technical who in most of the cases dare to bother it
MOST RELIABLE TYPE OF INTERVIEW IS
I tried to find out the most reliable type of interview according the employee. They
expressed different view. According to the sample employees. I found that behavioral
interview is most reliable and this view was supported by 36% of the sample employees.
Similar support was begged by the situational interview, while 26% structured interview and only 7%
favoured stress interview. Corresponding to this data I have drawn a pie chart above: -
In BHEL all the applications received in each branch/function (HR or Finance) will be
separately arranged in descending order of merit i.e. based on a percentage of aggregate marks of all the years/ semesters of
professional course and only the required number (according to the ratios mentioned) starting from the top will be called for
written test in each discipline of Engineering/Function (HR or Finance). In case of a tie at cut-off marks, all the candidates
scoring cut-off marks will be called for written test. The Written Test papers will be objective type in nature and will be in
Hindi & English. Based on merit and requirement, the short-listed candidates will have to appear for Psychometric Test and/or
Behavioral Assessment Interview followed by Personal Interview. Candidates will be invited for Psychometric Test and/or
Behavioral Assessment Interview followed by personal interview, in order of merit on the basis of Written Test performance.
In case of a tie at cut-off marks, all the candidates scoring cut-off marks will be called for interview.
The candidates are advised to ensure while applying that they fulfill the eligibility criteria and other requirements mentioned in
this advertisement and that the particulars furnished by them are correct in all respects. In case it is detected at any stage of
recruitment process that the candidate does not fulfill the eligibility criteria and/or does not comply with other requirements of
this advertisement and/ or he/she has furnished any incorrect/ false information or has suppressed any material fact(s), his/her
candidature is liable to be rejected. If any of the above shortcomings
FINDINGS 1. Under recruitment Procedures Requisition System is incorrect because the
replacement does not require fresh approval, unless it is in place of termination.
2. The data banks are not properly maintained.
3. The dead bio-data are never being destroyed.
4. Proper induction is not given to all the employees. It reserves to only a few levels.
5. Salary comparison is not justifies. Old employees are demoralized by getting less
surely then new employee.
6. Salary fixation has a halo effect .
7. Recruitment procedure is not fully computerized.
8. Manpower’s are recruited from private placement consultancy, who are demanding high amount of fees,
where as HRD Department is not fully utilised to recruit manpower by advertisement.
9. Before recruitment cost benefit analysis is not done properly. It causes manpower surplus which makes loss in the industry. 10. Manpower is recruited from reliable source however efficiency does not recognise.
RECOMMENDATION
1.Fresh requisition requires approval and not replacement.
1. The Data Banks should be computerised.
2. The dead CVs should be destroyed.
3. Each level of employee should be formally inducted and introduced to the Departmental Head. If not all
levels, at least Asst. Manager and above category of employees.
4. Salary comparison should be seriously done to retain the old employees. 5. Proper salary structure to be structured to attract people and make it tax effective. 6. Cost benefit analysis should be alone before creating a position or recruitment of
manpower.
7. Recruitment process should be fully computerised.
8. External source should be given equal importance with internal source. By which new
brain will be inducted in the company with skill, talent, efficiency etc. 9. Manpower planning should be followed before recruiting. 10. Proper inquiry should be done regarding previous employment of a candidate before recruitment to avoid industrial disputes.

CONCLUSION
Studying the recruitment procedures of BHEL., analysing the respondents answers, opinion survey
and date analysis the researcher came to a conclusion that BHEL is a growing Company. It has a
separate personnel department which is entrusted with the task of carrying out the various efficiently.
The business of BHEL is carried on in a very scientific manner. In the saturation point of business it
need not waste the time to diversify into the another business. Management understands the business
game very well. At the time of difficulty it takes necessary action to solve the problem. Now the
personnel department of BHEL is in infancy stage. It always try to modernize the department. It
strongly believes in manpower position of the organization because it knows in the absence of ‘M’ for
man all ‘Ms’ like money, material, machines, methods and motivation are failure. It always tries to
develop the human resources. In the absence of right man, material, money, machines all things will
not be properly utilized. So it always recruits manpower in a scientific manner
OPINION SURVEY: Certain schemes yield more fruitful results in certain conditions and with some specific objectives. Needless to say that management practices differ from organisation to organisation. But the fact is that success does not follow automatically, the people who implement the system that matters just as the authority without acceptance have no meaning. Recruitment process without trust of employees and organisation has no value how hobble the objective may be so an attempt is made to study the attitude of those who are participating in recruitment process before giving any suggesting and concluding remarks. For this purpose research has taken opinion of 20 executives and 50 worker/employee of different departments/sections of the organisation. The questionnaire prepared and circulated may them is reproduced below indicating their responses to each question. An example of a Questionnaire circulated among executives Yes No No R esponse 1.

From the response indicated above it appears that the prevailing recruitment policy has definite impact
on the organisation. Most of the executives showed positive response to different questionnaires by
virtue of manpower planning they used proposed deletion of manpower planning they used proposed
deletion or addition of man in the organisation for a planning period. The excess or shortage are being
adjusted and hence misutilisation is mere chance. The executives did not respond to the lay off and
retrenchment for reduction in available human resources. Form the questionnaires it appears that the
managerial staff are only interested for filling of the vacancies of higher post from out of the internal
sources. This attitude will seize the professional approach of the organisation and may not able to
induct fresh brain. From the answers of most of the managers it is observed that they want entry of
new managers should be avoided and fresh recruitment shall be limited up to only staff cadre and not
above that. From the answers of most of the executives it appears that cost benefit analysis is not
properly followed by the organization and job rotation also not followed properly in the organization
which make an employee all rounder in all respects. By which, in the absence of an employee the
work will not discontinue.
