    Practical training imbibes an integral part of management studies. One cannot merely

    Depend upon the theoretical knowledge. It is to be coupled with the practical for it to be

    fruitful. Classroom lectures make the fundamental concept of the students clear. But the

    industry exposure facilitate with the learning of practical things. However class lectures

    must be correlated with the practical training in the company, which has a significant role

    to play in the establishment of a Business Manager. To develop managerial and

    administrative skills in future mangers and to enhance their analytical skills, it is necessary

    that they combine their classroom learning with the knowledge of real business

    environment. After liberalization, Indian economy scene is really a buzz with activity. Lots

    and lots of multinational companies are coming in which their technical expertise and

    management concepts should be given way to be proved. Industrial activity in India has

    become a thing to watch and I really wanted to be a part of it, as it is essential for me

    being a management student. I found myself lucky to get done my summer internship in a

    brand name H.C.L Info System. I went 8 weeks training in its Sector-11 Noida. It

    helped me to get a practical insight into the actual business environment and provided me

    an opportunity to make my management concepts clearer. It is difficult to elaborate

    everything which I learned during the training however, I have endeavored to many

    comprehensive picture of details about working in the latter pages. I have accumulated the

    desired information through personal observations, interviews and study of

    documents.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    Recruitment refers to the process of finding possible candidates for a job or function,usually undertaken by recruiters. It also may be undertaken by an employment agency or a

    member of staff at the business or organization looking for recruits. Advertising is

    commonly part of the recruiting process and can occur through several means through

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    12/77

    online, newspapers using newspaper windows, through a job center, through campus

    interviews etc. Employing the right staff is an important human resource challenge faced

    by all employees. Recruitment is an expensive business, which includes the cost ofadvertising and the cost of current employees, time interviewing and selecting the right

    candidate. Good recruitment & selection can result in-Reduced labour turnover, Reduced

    Absence, Reduced stress levels. A recruitment process should be :Efficient - costeffective in method & sources, Effective - producing enough suitable candidates, air

    - Ensuring that decision are made on merit without discrimination.

    Recruitment is the process of identifying and attracting a group of potential candidatesfrom within and outside the organization to evaluate for employment. Once these

    candidates are identified, the process of selecting appropriate employees for employment

    can begin. Better recruitment and selection strategies result in improve organizational

    outcomes. The more effectively organizations recruit and select candidates, the morelikely they are to hire and retain satisfied employees. The quality of an organizations

    offering affects its ability to attract job candidates. Organizations believe they offer

    candidates a strong company reputation and high- quality benefit packages and learning

    opportunities. Organizations were asked to indicate how extensively they are severalselection practices and how much they anticipate using them in the future. Most

    organizations make extensive use of applications, manual resume screening and referencechecks in their selection systems. Less than no. of organizations currently use testing or

    assessment use testing or assessment methods extensively in their selection process. The

    surveyed organizations report that the top barriers to effective recruitment & selection ofcandidates are:-Shortage of qualified applicants, Competion for the same applicants.

    Difficulty finding & identifying applicants. The search and selection process is the

    foundation for all future employee relations activitiesAs such, a considerable amount of

    employee resource is rightfully spent on working on screening committees and in hiringemployees. The document has been developed to assist hiring supervisors, committee

    members and others in defining effective search and selection processes there by

    maximizing the efforts to identifying and attracting the best candidates.As will becomeevident in further review of this document, planning is an essential component to nearly

    every step of the search and selection process. We must plan the way the position can meet

    the needs of the department while appropriately using available resources, plan asrecruitment strategy, and plan a screening strategy and finally a selection strategy. Needs

    assessment - The first step in any process is to determine the goals that you would like to

    accomplish. In search & selection, this process usually takes one of two forms:In addition

    to staff - In the event that the job is new and has not been graded before, it will benecessary for the supervisor to complete the position. Analysis questionnaire, which will

    identify the job requirements and competencies required, as well as aid in establishing the

    appropriate salary grade for the position. During the posting and recruitment process, thecollege identifies and announces minimum requirements for fulfilling the responsibilities

    of the position as well as those qualities which the supervisor believes will lead to further

    success in the present. Once the position requirements and preferred qualities areidentified, it should be easy for the supervisor to identify the screening questions. Since

    the committee should only be asking questions which related to the committee should only

    be asking questions which related to the decision of who to forward to the supervisor in

    the next step of the process, the only topics the committee needs to address are those

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    13/77

    which have been identified by the supervisor as being identified by the supervisor as being

    either preferred or necessary qualities. The three parts to the screening process: a) Paper

    review b)Interviews with the candidates c)Interviews with each , respective candidatesreferences. Even though s/he is not part of the screening process, the hiring supervisor

    steers the search by developing the recruitment criteria, the position requirements and

    preferred qualities, the rating scales and interview questions. The recruitment strategy isthe stage where the hiring supervisor determines, with assistance from Human Resource,

    the timing for the search as well as the way that the position vacancy will be

    communicated. Recruitment can be an expensive and time- consuming endeavor, andunderstanding the value of the results means knowing whether or not the time and money

    are being used effectively.

    Introduction of Recruitment &Selection

    RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

    Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of personnel

    Management . Recruitment precedes selection and helps in selecting a right candidate.

    Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of

    the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in

    adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient personnel. Staffing is one

    basic function of management. All managers have responsibility of staffing function by

    selecting the chief executive and even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing

    responsibility when they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel manager

    and his personnel department is mainly concerned with the staffing function. Every

    organization needs to look after recruitment and selection in the initial period and

    thereafter as and when additional manpower is required due to expansion anddevelopment of business activities.

    Right person for the right job is the basic principle in recruitment and selection. Ever

    Organization should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its

    managers. The operative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    26/77

    working of an enterprise .Every business organization/unit needs manpower for carrying

    different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection

    of suitable candidates are essential. Human resource management in an organization will

    not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and employment in a business unit.

    MEANING

    Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitable

    arrangements for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the

    process of searching for and obtaining applicants for the jobs, from among whom the right

    people can be selected. A formal definition states, It is the process of finding and

    attracting capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new recruitsare sought and ends when their applicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants

    from which new employees are selected. In this, the available vacancies are given wide

    publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a

    pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection. In recruitment, information is collected

    from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement,

    employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc. are used. In the recruitment, a pool of

    eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of most suitable candidates.

    Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential

    employees.

    Definition:

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    27/77

    According to EDWIN FLIPPO,Recruitment is the process of searching for

    prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the

    organization.

    Need for recruitmentThe need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situation:

    a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability,

    death and labor turnover.

    b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification of business

    activities of an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job specification

    Purpose and importance of Recruitment

    Determine the present and future requirements of the organization on conjunction

    with its personnel-planning and job analysis activities.

    Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.

    Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of

    visibly under qualified or over qualified job applicants.

    Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will

    leave the organization only after a short period of time.

    Meet the organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its

    work force.

    Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate

    candidates.

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    28/77

    Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs available in the

    organization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit applications for the

    purpose of selection. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with

    potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a

    company, and eventually decided whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and

    well-managed recruiting effort will result in high quality applicants, whereas, a haphazard

    and piecemeal efforts will result in mediocre ones.

    RECRUITMENT PROCESS

    Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to build a

    pool of qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated stages, via,

    1. Planning.

    2. Strategy development.

    3. Searching.

    4. Screening.

    5. Evaluation and control.

    The ideal recruitment programme is the one that attracts a relatively larger number of

    qualified applicants who will survive the screening process and accept positions with theorganization, when offered. Recruitment programmers can miss the ideal in many ways

    i.e. by failing to attract an adequate applicant pool, by under/over selling the organization

    or by inadequate screening applicants before they enter the selection process. Thus, to

    approach the ideal, individuals responsible for the recruitment process must know how

    many and what types of employees are needed, where and how to look for the individuals

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    29/77

    with the appropriate qualifications and interests, what inducement to use for various types

    of applicants groups, how to distinguish applicants who are qualified from those who have

    a reasonable chance of success and how to evaluate their work.

    schemes

    The sources of recruitment can be broadly categorized into internal and

    external sources-

    (I) Internal Recruitment Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from

    within the company. The various internal sources include:

    Promotions and Transfers

    Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel records. Job posting

    requires notifying vacant positions by posting notices, circulating publications or

    announcing at staff meetings and inviting employees to apply. Personnel records help

    discover employees who are doing jobs below their educational qualifications or skill

    levels. Promotions has many advantages like it is good public relations, builds morale,

    encourages competent individuals who are ambitious, improves the probability of good

    selection since information on the individuals performance is readily available, is cheaper

    than going outside to recruit, those chosen internally are familiar with the organization

    thus reducing the orientation time and energy and also acts as a training device for

    developing middle-level and top-level managers. However, promotions restrict the field of

    selection preventing fresh blood & ideas from entering the organization. It also leads to

    inbreeding in the organization. Transfers are also important in providing employees with a

    broad-based view of the organization, necessary for future promotions.

    Employee referrals-Employees can develop good prospects for their families and friends by acquainting them

    with the advantages of a job with the company, furnishing them with introduction and

    encouraging them to apply. This is a very effective means as many qualified people can be

    reached at a very low cost to the company. The other advantages are that the employees

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    31/77

    would bring only those referrals that they feel would be able to fit in the organization

    based on their own experience. The organization can be assured of the reliability and the

    character of the referrals. In this way, the organization can also fulfill social obligations

    and create goodwill.

    Former Employees-

    These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part-time basis, individuals

    who left work and are willing to come back for higher compensations. Even retrenched

    employees are taken up once again. The advantage here is that the people are already

    known to the organization and there is no need to find out there past performance and

    character. Also, there is no need of an orientation programme for them, since they are

    familiar with the organization.

    Retirements: -

    At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of the one who had

    retired, after meritorious service. Under the circumstances, management may decide to

    call retired managers with new extension.

    (II) External Recruitment External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from

    sources outside the company. They have outnumbered the internal methods. The various

    external sources include:

    Professional or Trade Associations: -

    Many associations provide placement service to its members. It consists of compiling job

    seekers lists and providing access to members during regional or national conventions.

    Also, the publications of these associations carry classified advertisements from

    employers interested in recruiting their members. These are particularly useful for

    attracting highly educated, experienced or skilled personnel. Also, the recruiters can zero

    on in specific job seekers, especially for hard-to-fill technical posts.

    Advertisements: -

    It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer advertisements

    because of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job benefits, identify the employer and

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    32/77

    tell those interested how to apply. Newspaper is the most common medium but for highly

    specialized recruits, advertisements may be placed in professional or business journals.

    Advertisements must contain proper information like the job content, working conditions,

    location of job, compensation including fringe benefits, job specifications, growth aspects,

    etc. The advertisement has to sell the idea that the company and job are perfect for the

    candidate. Recruitment advertisements can also serve as corporate advertisements to build

    company image. It also cost effective.

    Employment Exchanges: -

    Employment Exchanges have been set up all over the country in deference to the

    provision of the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act,

    1959. The Act applies to all industrial establishments having 25 workers or more each.

    The Act requires all the industrial establishments to notify the vacancies before they are

    filled. The major functions of the exchanges are to increase the pool of possible applicants

    and to do the preliminary screening. Thus, employment exchanges act as a link between

    the employers and the prospective employees. These offices are particularly useful to in

    recruiting blue-collar, white collar and technical workers.

    Campus Recruitments: -

    Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fields and institutes are fertile ground

    for recruiters, particularly the institutes. Campus Recruitment is going global with

    companies like HCL, HLL, Citibank, HCL-HP, and ANZ Grind lays, L&T, Motorola and

    Reliance looking for global markets. Some companies recruit a given number of

    candidates from these institutes every year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after

    that each college; university department or institute will have a placement officer to

    handle recruitment functions. However, it is often an expensive process, even if recruiting

    process produces job offers and acceptances eventually. A majority leaves the organization

    within the first five years of their employment. Yet, it is a major source of recruitment for

    prestigious companies.

    Walk-ins

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    33/77

    The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is direct applications, in

    which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters or resumes. Direct applications

    can also provide a pool of potential employees to meet future needs. From employees

    viewpoint, walk-ins are preferable as they are free from the hassles associated with other

    methods of recruitment. While direct applications are particularly effective in filling entry-

    level and unskilled vacancies, some organizations compile pools of potential employees

    from direct applications for skilled positions. Write-ins are those who send written

    enquiries. These jobseekers are asked to complete application forms for further

    processing. Talk meeting the recruiter (on an appropriated date) fordetailed talks. No

    application is required to be submitted to the recruiter.

    Contractors: -

    They are used to recruit casual workers. The names of the workers are not entered in the

    Company records and, to this extent; difficulties experienced in maintaining permanent

    workers are avoided.

    Consultants: -

    They are in the profession for recruiting and selecting managerial and executive personnel.

    They are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend professionalism to the hiring

    process. They also keep prospective employer and employee anonymous. However, the

    cost can be a deterrent factor.

    THEORIES AND POLICIES OF RECRUITMENT AND

    SELECTION

    Theories:

    1. Objective theory

    1) Assumes applicants use a very rational method for making decisions

    2) Thus, the more information you can give them (e.g. salaries, benefits,working

    condition, etc), the better applicants weight these factors toarrive at a relative

    desirability index

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    34/77

    2. Subjective theory

    1) Assumes applicants are not rational, but respond to social or psychological needs (e.g.

    security, achievement, affiliation)

    2) Thus, play to these needs by highlighting job security or opportunities for promotion or

    collegiality of work group, etc.

    3. Critical Contact theory

    1) Assumes key attractor is quality of contact with the recruiter or recruiter behavior, e.g.

    (promptness, warmth, follow-up calls, sincerity,etc.)

    2) Research indicates that more recruiter contact enhances acceptance of offer, also

    experienced recruiter (e.g. middle-aged) more successful than young or inexperienced

    recruiter - may be especially important.

    when recruiting ethnic minorities, women, etc.

    Policies:Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy

    of the same organization. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into

    consideration the governments reservation policy,policy regarding sons of soil, etc.,

    personnel policies of other organizations regarding merit, internal sources, social

    responsibility in absorbing minority sections, women, etc.Specific issues which may be

    addressed in Recruitment Policy:

    1) Statement :Nondiscrimination (EEO employer) or particular protected class members

    that may be sought for different positions (see also Affirmative Action guidelines)

    2) Position description: Adherence to job description (& qualifications) in recruitment &

    selection -BFOQs -bonafide occupational qualifications

    3) How to handle special personnel in recruitment/selection: e.g. relatives (nepotism)

    veterans (any special advancement toward retirement for military experience?), rehires

    (special consideration? vacation days or other prior benefits?), part-time or temporary

    personnel (special consideration? benefits?)

    4) Recruitment budget/expenses: what is covered? Travel, Lodging/meals, Staff travel to

    recruit, relocation, expenses, etc.

    5) Others:

    a. Residency requirement in district?

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    35/77

    b. Favors, special considerations related to recruitment? - e.g. get spouse a job?

    INDUCEMENTS TO RECRUITMENT

    Organizational inducements are all the positive features and benefits offered by an

    organization that serves to attract job applicants to the organization. Three inducements

    need specific mention here, they are:-

    Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases, incentives and fringe

    benefits can all serve as inducements to potential employees.

    Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow personally and

    professionally and also attract good people to the organization. The feeling that the

    company takes care of employee career aspirations serves as a powerful

    inducements to potential employees.

    Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organisations reputation include its

    general treatment of employees, the nature and quality of its products and services

    and its participation in worthwhile social endeavors.

    CONSTRAINTS

    Poor image: If the image of the firm is perceived to be low( due to factors like

    operation in the declining industry, poor quality products, nepotism etc), the

    likelihood of attracting large number of qualified applicants is reduced.

    Unattractive jobs: if the job to be filled is not very attractive, most prospective

    candidates may turn indifferent and may not even apply. this is specialy true of job

    that is boring, anxiety producing, devoid of career growth opportunities and

    generally not reward performance in a proper way( eg jobs in post office and

    railways).

    Government policy: Government policies often come in the way of

    recruitment as per the rules of company or on the basis of merit and seniority.

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    36/77

    Policies like reservations (scheduled castes, scheduled tribe etc) have to be

    observed.

    Conservative internal policies: Firms which go for internal recruitments or

    where labour unions are very active, face hindrances in recruitment and selection

    planning.

    RECRUITMENT- Relationship with other activities

    SELECTION

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    38/77

    Selection is defined as the process of differentiating between applicants in order to

    identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.

    Selection is basically picking an applicant from (a pool of applicants) who has the

    appropriate qualification and competency to do the job. The difference between

    recruitment and selection:

    Recruitment is identifying n encouraging prospective employees to apply for a job.

    And Selection is selecting the right candidate from the pool of applicants.

    Purpose

    The purpose of selection is to pick up the most suitable candidate who would meet the

    requirements of the job in an organization best, to find out which job applicant will be

    successful, if hired. To meet this goal, the company obtains and assesses information about

    the applicants in terms of age, qualifications, skills, experience, etc. the needs of the job

    are matched with the profile of candidates. The most suitable person is then picked up

    after eliminating the unsuitable applicants through successive stages of selection process.

    How well an employee is matched to a job is very important because it is directly affects

    the amount and quality of employees work. Any mismatch in this regard can cost an

    organisation a great deal of money, time and trouble, especially, in terms of training and

    operating costs. In course of time, the employee may find the job distasteful and leave in

    frustration. He may even circulate negative information about the company, causing

    incalculable harm to the company in the long run. Effective election, therefore, demands

    constant monitoring of the fit between people the job.

    SELECTION PROCESS:

    Selection is a long process, commencing from the preliminary interview of the applicants

    and ending with the contract of employment. Selection is usually a series of hurdles or

    steps. Each one must be successfully cleared before the applicant proceeds to the next one.

    The time and emphasis place on each step will definitely vary from one organisation to

    another and indeed, from job to job within the same organisation. The sequence of steps

    may also vary from job to job and organisation to organisation. For example some

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    39/77

    organisations may give more importance to testing while others give more emphasis to

    interviews and reference checks. Similarly a single brief selection interview might be

    enough for applicants for lower level positions, while applicants for managerial jobs might

    be interviewed by a number of people

    Selection is different from Recruitment:

    1.) Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective candidates and motivating them

    to apply for job in the organization. Whereas, selection is a process of choosing most

    suitable candidates out of those, who are interested and also qualified for job.

    2.) In the recruitment process, vacancies available are finalized, publicity is given to them

    and applications are collected from interested candidates. In the selection process,

    available applications are scrutinized. Tests, interview and medical examination are

    conducted in order to select most suitable candidates.

    3.) In recruitment the purpose is to attract maximum numbers of suitable and interested

    Candidates through applications. In selection process the purpose is that the best candidate

    out of those qualified and interested in the appointment.

    4.) Recruitment is prior to selection. It creates proper base for actual selection. Selection is

    next to recruitment. It is out of candidates available/interested.

    5.) Recruitment is the positive function in which interested candidates are encouraged to

    submit application. Selection is a negative function in which unsuitable candidates are

    eliminated and the best one is selected.

    6.) Recruitment is the short process. In recruitment publicity is given to vacancies and

    applications are collected from different sources Selection is a lengthy process. It involves

    scrutiny of applications, giving tests, arranging interviews and medical examination.

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    40/77

    7.) In recruitment services of expert are not required whereas in selection, services of

    expert are required.

    8.) Recruitment is not costly. Expenditure is required mainly for advertising the posts.

    Selection is a costly activity, as expenditure is needed for testing candidates and conduct

    of interviews.

    RESEARCH METHODOLGY

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    52/77

    Research:

    The study of research method provides us with the knowledge and skills needed to solve

    the problem and meet the challenges of the fact-based decision. Marketing environment

    we define as Business Research as a systematic enquiry whose objective is to provide

    information to solve managerial problem. Business Research produces information to

    reduce uncertainty. It helps focus decision-making. In a number of situations business

    researchers know exactly what their business problems are and design studies to test

    specific hypothesis. Because of the variety of research activity, it will be helpful to

    categorize the type of business research. Business research can be classified on the basis

    of either technique or function. Methodology is an essential aspect of any project or

    research. It enables researchers look at the problem in a systemic, meaningful and orderly

    way. Methodology comprises the source of data, selection of data, various designs and

    techniques used for analyzing the data.

    Research Design:

    A research design is a master plan specifying the methods and procedures for collecting

    and analyzing the needed information. It is a framework or blueprint that plans the actionfor the research project. The objectives of the study determined during the early stages of

    the research are included in the design to ensure that the information collected is

    appropriate for solving the problem. The research investigator must also specify the

    sources of information, the research method or technique, the sample methodology, and

    the schedule and cost of the research.

    Type Of Research

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    53/77

    Descriptive Research:

    Descriptive study is a fact-finding investigation with adequate interpretation. It is the

    simplest type of research. It is more specific than an explanatory study, as it has focus on

    particular aspect of the problem studied. It is designed to get descriptive information and

    provide information for formulating more sophisticated studies. Using one or more

    appropriate method, observation and questionnaire collects data. The major purpose of

    descriptive research, as the term implies, is to describe characteristics of a population or

    phenomenon. Descriptive research often helps segment and target markets. Accuracy is of

    paramount importance in descriptive research; still errors cannot be completely

    eliminated. Descriptive studies are based on some previous understandings of the nature of

    the research problem.

    Sample Design:

    Sample Unit

    The sampling unit for project is employees at HCL INFOSYSTEM, NOIDA

    Sample Size:

    Sample size is 50, which includes the member of Human Resources, Recruitment as well

    as selection panel. The sampling size includes male and female of a company at different

    age group and different hierarchy level. The sampling size was restricted to 50 because of

    the member constrain. Here, convenient sampling technique has been adopted for

    collecting the primary data.

    SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:

  • 7/29/2019 Recruitmant and Selection of HCL Infosystem

    54/77

    CONVENIENCE SAMPLING: It attempts to obtain a sample of convenient

    elements. The selection of sampling units is left primarily to the interviewer. Often,

    respondents are selected because they happen to be in the right place at the right time.Convenience sampling is the least expensive and least time consuming.

    Data Collection

    I. Sources

    Primary Data-

    Primary data is the first hand information that the researcher collects. It helps in

    Collecting useful and most accurate information that is needed for the researcher to do

    his work. The primary data are collected through survey method. Survey method is

    undertaken to find the selection procedure. A survey was conducted among the member of

    HCL Info system HR department of NOIDA (SECTOR 11) by the aid of well-structured

    questionnaire. The population for the study consists of people who are the member of

    recruitment panel of HCL Info system.

    Secondary Data-

    Secondary Data, or historical data, are data previously collected and assembled for some

    project other than the one at hand. This data can be found inside the company, on the

    Internet, in the library, or they can be purchased from firms that specialize in providing

    information, such as economic forecasts, that is useful to organization. Secondary data can

    almost always be gathered faster and more inexpensively than primary data.

    Conclusion

    The human element of organization is the most crucial asset of an organization. Taking a

    Closer perspective -it is the very quality of this asset that sets an organization apart from

    the others, the very element that brings the organizations vision into fruition.

    Thus, one can grasp the strategic implications that the manpower of an organization has in

    shaping the fortunes of an organization. This is where the complementary roles of

    Recruitment and Selection come in. The role of these aspects in the contemporary

    organization is a subject on which the experts have pondered, deliberated and studied,

    considering the vital role that they obviously play. The essence of recruitment can be

    summed up as the philosophy of attracting as many applicants as possible for given jobs.

    The face value of this definition is what guided recruitment activities in the past. Thesesdays, however, the emphasis is on aligning the organizations objectives with that of the

    individuals. By making this a priority, an organization safeguards its interests and

    standing. After all, a satisfied workforce is a stable workforce, which also ensures that an

    organization has credible and reliable performance.

    The end result of the recruitment process is essentially a pool of applicants. The research

    has given the result that the employees in the organization have a full knowledge about

    the recruitment and selection procedure and therefore we can say that the recruitment and

    selection procedure is effective at HCL INFO SYSTEMS. In the end, this project

    endeavors to present a comprehensive picture of Recruitment and Selection and hopes to

    enable the reader to appreciate the various intricacies involved.
