PREFACE
The purpose of my project was to learn the practical application of Recruitment
and Selection Process and its importance in Dabur along with the HR policies of
Dabur which prides itself to be the market leader.
While carrying out the study I have gained a good amount of knowledge and
insights of how HR department works but I have touched the tip of iceberg.
There was more to learn but due to constraint of time it was not possible. The
HRD manager has to work with the missionary spirit. Unlike many roles in an
organization where tangible short- term benefits can be obtained, it is difficult
for HRD functionary to demonstrate any tangible short- term accomplishment.
Yet HRD managers are tempted to show to the top management, line manager
and themselves that they are making things happen through training program,
performance appraisal, reward systems and the like.
In Dabur a meticulously natural team stands at the very heart of the group.
4,000 Personnel evince perfect camaraderie. A steadfast dedication to qualify an
attainment of maximum team potential are the touchstones of the company.
The company is engaged in constant learning process through intensive
selection and training program. Indeed, the aspiration is to shape a winning
team of self motivated, empowered, professionals with knowledge and
confidence to take independent decision. Dabur recognizes each employee’s
individuality, ability and efforts and also applauds for their contribution to the
success of the group.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As in case of any other functional area like marketing, production or finance,
the work personnel department has also to be planned. Planning in the personnel
area is mainly concerned with crystallizing from where the right type of people
can be secured for future anticipated vacancies.
Manpower planning is the process by which management determines how
the organization should move from its current manpower position to its desired
manpower position. Through planning, management strives to have the right
number and the right kinds of people, at the right places, at the right time, doing
things, which result in the growth and success of both- the organization and the
individual. The manpower planning is one of the basic steps in the recruitment
and selection procedure.
Recruitment and Selection is the process wherein the organisation finds the
best candidate among the vast array of candidates. The function that locates the
sources where from the required human resources can be available and to attract
them towards the organisation is known as recruitment.
Selection can be defined as the process wherein the organisation has to select
a small lot of people who are useful to the organisation in terms of their
capabilities and their qualifications. The main aim of organisation at this stage
is to have a well-equipped manpower efficient enough to handle all the tasks
gracefully.
This project entitled "Recruitment and Selection in Dabur India Ltd (DIL)"
aims at studying the recruitment and selection procedure undertaken at this ever
growing organisation. The project gives a brief idea as to how the whole process
works. Every organisation has different policies, at times unique and it is very
rare that the policy of one organisation matches to the policies of another
organisation.
It is true that the success of any organisation depends upon the old dictum :
right person for the right job. At the same time it is all the more important to
have right and tested combination of recruitment and selection policies to
attract, select and appoint a desired lot and replenish it from time to time. The
transformation from a family concern to FMCG industry has tested the
recruitment and selection policies and the organisation. The sustainability and
success of this living legend over hundred years has proved that the strategies
adopted by this multinational are true to its needs and requirement. DIL has a
strong work force of 2,500 employees.
DIL has succeeded over hundred years because it still follows the basic
dictum and is being guided by the vision and the age-old the principles which
are followed religiously.

SOCIAL ISSUES :
“What is that life worth which cannot bring comfort to others.” These words of Dr.S.K.Burman have inspired generations of Dabur . Keeping these golden words in mind, Sundesh or the Sustainable Development Society was set up to carry out welfare activities aimed at improving the quality of life of the rural people in its area of operation. This society is given complete financial and managerial support by Dabur India limited.
Sundesh is engaged in providing health services , non-formal education and training in income generating activities. The society has a dedicated team
12
consisting of a doctor, a community organizer, a lady social worker, instructors for income generating activities , traditional birth attendants and village level worker .Sundesh organize regular OPDs , other health services rendered include training of traditional birth attendants. Immunization programmes for children, maintenance of family health records, anti-natal check ups, pulse polio programmes and health awareness meeting for women on topics such as family planning, ante-natal care, post-natal care , the importance of vaccination , baby care and AIDS prevention.
Restructuring moves Despite its range, investors have been wary of investing in this company because of its unrelated diversifications and a family-run business. To counter this, Dabur undertook a massive restructuring exercise about a couple of years ago, based on McKinsey recommendations to meet the growing competition and to focus only on core competencies and to gear up as the leading FMCG player in the country. As a result, it decided to spin off non-core businesses and conduct an all-new professional management team. Other positive actions include rejuvenating the sales and distribution set up, laying greater focus on brand extensions rather than on new brand creation and adding value to products.
It has discontinued its low margin businesses like merchant exports, generic drugs and herbal intermediates. The company has also exited from two JVs namely confectionery JV with General DE Confiteria India Limited and biscuits JV, Excelsia Foods Limited. The company has also hived off its foods business into a separate subsidiary, Dabur Foods Limited. During year 2000, the company exited from Ayurvet Herbal Veterinary drugs. It sold off its entire stake in Excelsia JV foods with Nestlé for manufacturing biscuits for a nominal value of Rs. 10. Dabur is also consolidating and rationalizing its brand portfolio. It has discontinued the number of small and marginal brands in personal care and healthcare products. It also decided to wind up its finance businesses. Though the company exited from beauty products business, with increasing market size and higher margins the company has revived its interests in re-entering the business. In the year 1999, Dabur India Ltd has started implementing a BaaN Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to cut the cost of inventory, which is a major component of its overall costs. Because of its high inventory levels, it has to bear high holding costs. It seems that all these initiatives are being paid off, and the analysts are optimistic about the current year.
Dabur has also restructured its board. Due to this, six directors, namely AC Burman, Sidharth Burman, Air Chief Marshal NC Suri (Retd.), SM Datta, Raja Vijay Karan, and Ashok Goenka have resigned from the directorship of the
13
company and the board has accepted the same with effect from April 1, 2002. Further, VC Burman and Pradip Burman have also resigned from the whole-time directorship of the company, which has also been accepted by the board; however, they will continue as non-executive directors of the company. The company has completed its restructuring process and has exited non-core businesses. With the homespun philosophy that drives Dabur, it is now gearing up to face the challenge to an MNC onslaught.
ORG figures put Dabur's pharmaceuticals division as the second largest growing pharmaceutical company in India with a secondary sales growth of 37.2 percent and a mind-boggling 29 New Chemical Entities (NCEs) in pipeline. Analysts say, its pharma division is full of potential. In oncology segment, it is No. 1 in India. It is working in close co-operation with DRDO, CSIR and top universities in R&D. It is the first company in India to have developed the anti-cancer intermediary DAB-10 and its associated drug paclitaxel (Taxol).
DABUR INDIA LTD
Dabur is the fourth largest FMCG Company in India with interests in Health care, Personal care and Food products. Building on a legacy of quality and experience for over 100 years, today Dabur has a turnover of Rs.1163 crores with powerful brands like Amla, Vatika, Hajmola & Chyawanprash, Lal Dant Manjan,etc. Dabur India Limited has marked its presence with some very significant achievements and today commands a market leadership status.

AN INTRODUCTION

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment and selection are the most important functions in an
organisation because with the help of these functions the management selects
the best available candidate from a batch of them. The organisations, in this
growing competitive world, need to have the best of the manpower so as to have
an edge over its competitives.
According to Flippo, "Recruitment is the process of searching for
prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs
in an organisation."
In the words of Yoder,"Recrutiment is a process to discover the sources of
manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ
effective measured for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to
facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force."
The recruitment needs can be classified into-
Planned.
Anticipated.
Unexpected.
Planned need arise from changes in the organisation and retirement policy.
These occur due the expected changes in the organisation so the management
can make a proper policy for it.
Anticipated need refer to the movements in personnel which an organisation
can predict by studying the trends in the internal and external environments.
56
Resignations, deaths, accidents and illness result in to the unexpected needs.
FEATURES:
Recruitment is a process or a series of activities rather than a single event.
It is a linking activity as it brings together the employers and employees.
It is positive process because in this activity the employers want to have the
maximum number of job seekers so as to have a wider scope for choice
ultimately leading in spotting right persons for job.
It is an important function as it makes it possible to acquire the number and
type of persons required for the effective functioning of the organisation.
It is an on going function in all the organisations, but the volume and nature
of recruitment varies with the size, nature and environment of the
organisation.
It is a complex process because a number of factors affect it --the nature of
the job offered, image of the organisation, organisational policies, working
conditions etc.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:
The various sources of recruitment are -
Internal Sources : Include-
Present Employees who can be transferred or given promotions.
The retired and retrenched employees who want to return to the company.
Dependents and relatives of the deceased and disabled employees.
External Sources : Consist of-
57
Press advertisements.
Campus Interviews.
Placement Agencies.
Recommendations.
Recruitment at factory gate.
Employment Exchanges.
During my short stint at DIL, it was observed that the recruitment need of
DIL is diversified. It needs persons who have knowledge of use, processing
of natural ingredients of number of varied products, technical know-how of
latest industrial technical knowledge, and computer applications to
pharmaceutical industry to manual workers. The importance of the process
could be understood that the present work force of DIL is 2,500 employees.
Hence, the recruitment and selection procedure should match the
complexities of the need and at the same should commensurate with the
complex need of the organisation.
58
SELECTION
Selection is the process of choosing the best candidate out of the all the
applicants. In this process, relevant information about the applicants is collected
through a series of steps so as to evaluate their suitability for the job to be filled.
It is the process of matching the qualifications with those required for the job
so that the candidate can be entrusted with the task that matches with his
credibility.
It is a process of weeding out unsuitable candidates and finally identifying the
most suitable candidates.
This process divides the candidates into two categories-the suitable ones and
the unsuitable ones. The suitable people prove to be the asset for the
organisation. Selection is a negative process because in this process the
management tries to minimise the number of people at each step so that the final
decision can be in the light of all the factors and at the end of it best candidate is
selected. Selected candidate the has to pass through the following stages-
Preliminary Interview.

Preliminary Interview is the initial screening done to weed out the
undesirable candidates. This is mainly a sorting process in which the
prospective candidates are given the necessary information about the nature of
the job and the organisation. Necessary information about the candidate is also
taken. If the candidate is found suitable then he is selected for further screening
else he is dropped. This stage saves the time and effort of both the company and
the candidate. It avoids unnecessary waiting for the candidate and waste of
money for further processing of an unsuitable candidate.
Application Form is a traditional and widely used device for collecting
information from candidates. This form asks the candidates to fill up the
necessary information regarding their basic information like name, address,
references, date of birth, marital status, educational qualifications, experience,
salary structure in previous organisation and other such information. This form
is of great help because the scrutiny of this form helps to weed out candidate
who are lacking in education, experience or any other criterion provided by the
organisation. It also helps in formulation of questions, which will be asked in
the interview. These forms can also be stored for future references thus
maintaining a databank of the applicants.
Selection Tests are being increasingly used in employee selection. Tests
are sample of some aspect of an individual's attitudes, behaviour and
performance. It also provides a systematic basis for comparing two or more
persons. The tests help to reduce bias in selection by serving as a supplementary
screening device. These are also helpful in better matching of candidate and the
job. These reveal the qualifications, which remain covered in application form
and interview.
60
Selection Interview involves the interaction of the employer and the
employee. Selection involves a personal, observational and face-to-face
appraisal of candidates for employment. It is an essential element of the
selection procedure. The information obtained through application form and test
can be crosschecked in the interview.
The applicants who have crossed the above stages have to go through
Physical Examination either by the company's physician or the medical officer
approved for the purpose. The main aim is to ensure that the candidate is
physically fit to perform the job. Those who are found physically unfit are
rejected.
The next stage marks of checking the references. The applicant is asked
to mention in his application form the names and addresses of two or three
person who know him well. The organisation contacts them by mail or
telephone. They are requested to provide their frank opinion about the candidate
without incurring any
liability. The opinion of the references can be useful in judging the future
behaviour and performance of a candidate.
The executives of the concerned departments then finally approve the
candidates short-listed by the human resource department. Employment is
offered in the form of an appointment letter mentioning the post, the rank, the
salary grade, the date by which the candidate should join and other terms and
conditions in brief. Appointment is generally made on a probation of one or two
years. After satisfactory performance during this period the candidate is finally
confirmed in the job on permanent basis or regularized.
Selection is an important function as no organisation can achieve its goals
without selecting right persons for the required job. Faulty selection leads to
61
wastage of time and money and spoils the environment of an organisation.
Scientific selection and placement of personnel can go a long way in building
up a stable workforce. It helps to reduce absenteeism and labour turnover.
Proper selection is helpful in increasing the efficiency and productivity of the
enterprise.
62
63
Dabur India Ltd. selects the future employees keeping everything in mind
right from the qualification of the employees to the future prospects-both of the
organisation and the employees.
The first step involves the filling up of Manpower Indent Form. This form
is filled up by the department, which is having the vacancy. The form consists
of various questions which are to be answered like if the current vacancy is a
replacement vacancy, its reason is to be specified -the factors which resulted it
like death, retirement etc.
The department is required to give the qualifications that the future
candidate should possess.
In the next step, this form is given to the Human Resource (HR) department;
this department sees if the position can be filled through internal sources. The
internal sources can be transfers, promotion etc. In the case of internal sources,
the recommendations of the employees are not taken into consideration. If the
HR department does not find suitable candidate within the organisation then this
department has to give reasons for it. The form then goes to the Corporate HR
for its approval.
When the suitable candidate is not available within the organisation, the
organisation then moves to the outside world for filling up the vacancies.
If the number of employees required is large then the company has in its
consideration three ways-
The Data bank of the organisation.
Advertisements.
Contacting large consultants.
64
The company maintains a databank of the candidates, which is used when
the number of vacancies to be filled up is large. The sources of databank can be
the qualified candidates who had applied in the organisation earlier but due to
some reasons could not join the organisation.
Advertisements are the second big source to attract the candidates. These are
having much larger scope and reach to a number of people. The qualifications
required by the organisation and the criteria could be described in detail.
Large number of consultants also constitutes a big source. Many people
register themselves with these consultants and they act as a bridge between the
organisation and the candidates. The consultants provide the company required
details about all criteria. These consultants are fixed for the organisation, which
are chosen on the basis of their performance. In case of overseas recruitment it
is checked whether their Indian counterparts can perform the job efficiently or
not. If need arises then they are also taken through consultants.
But if the number of vacancies is very small then the organisation takes the
help of the local consultants.
The candidates are then required to fill up the Application Form. This form
requires the candidate to fill the details regarding the previous employment, if
any and his personal data. The form is having details regarding like the marital
status, organisation structure, the position held by the candidate, his salary
structure, the top three deliveries to the organisation that proved to be beneficial
to the organisation, career goals, his strengths and weaknesses etc.
65
After the application form has been duly filled and submitted, the selection
process starts wherein the candidate has to pass through various stages and
interview. The interview panel consists of the persons from Corporate (HR),
and other persons including the executives from the department for which the
vacancy is to be filled.
The selected candidates are then short-listed. The short listed candidates are
then given priority numbers; this is due to the reason that sometimes the
candidate who is having first priority is unable to join the organisation due to
some reasons then in that case the candidate next in the priority list is given
preference.
The candidate has to under go medical examination and his credentials are
verified.
After qualifying these stages, the candidate is then absorbed in the
organisation and explained his/her duties. This phase marks the end of the
selection procedure.
Dabur India Ltd.also performs Campus interviews as and when the need
arises. The esteemed organisation also provides apprentice training-wherein the
organisation trains the people in the working of the organisation and gives then
stipend. If these trainees are found useful to the organisation then they are
absorbed in the organisation else they are given certificate so that they can show
this as an experience and get a job elsewhere.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Training in Dabur has helped me in broadening my view. It has helped me
to know that HR is the heart of every organization. It made me aware about how
policies play an important role in the smooth functioning of any organization.
But I have found that there is something that lacks in the company and which is
possible to overcome.
Dabur is engaged in making maximum sales, providing satisfaction to its
customers, as well as maintaining good relations with the corporate world. But
it has not thought about marinating a health relation with its employees. This is
the reason that there was an increase in the labor turnover. Also, it has never
given consideration to find the reason lying behind the same.
Employee retention is crucial to the long-term success of your business and
therefore the ability to retain employees is a primary measure of the health of
your organization. Of significant concern is the fact that unplanned employee
turnover directly impacts the bottom line of a business.
The company can undertake the following steps to maintain long and existing
relationship with its employees as well as a steady increase in sales:-
1. Employees should know clearly what is expected of them-
Continually changing expectations minimize employee’s sense of
internal security and create unnecessary stress. It is beneficial therefore
to provide a specific framework, in which people can work.
2. Employees should be provided with quality management and leadership-
It is well documented that people leave their managers more often than
they leave the company or the job. Turnover issues that cause an
91
employee to feel unvalued by their manager include lack of feedback
about performance, lack of clarity regarding earning potential, failure to
hold scheduled meetings, and the failure to provide a framework for the
employee to succeed. Ensure that the right people are in place to lead
your teams, departments, business units and the organization as a whole
towards success.
3. The company should compensate candidates applying for any position in
the organization in case of external recruitment; this will give candidates
a positive impression about the company.
4. The references given by the candidates at the time of selection should be
brought into use and should be verified in order to avoid undesired
candidates.
5. Job specifications should be disclosed at the time of recruitment and
selection so that employees are well aware of the tasks to be performed
by them and the expectations their seniors have from them.
6. Company should undergo personality test in order to judge the
personality of the person applying for the job.
7. Company should have a round of panel interview so that decision of
selecting a candidate is not based on personal biasness of the interviewer,
interviews should therefore be followed by group discussion.
92
CONCLUSION
REQUIREMENT :-
‘Necessity is the mother of Invention’ this is true everywhere. In the study
first of all I tried to find out the cause of the process of Recruitment and
selection.
I got the answer from Dabur that here in Dabur major cause for the process
is its Expansion program as Dabur is growing vastly. Few other reasons are
Replacement vacancy Retirement hardly takes place here.
SOURCES :-
An organization’s excellence depends upon its employee’s performance,
which has not only to be maintained on a consistent level, but also must be
improved constantly. All this can be achieved if suitable employees are
selected, through proper Recruitment and Selection procedure.
METHODS :-
For the recruitment and selection various test include for e.g. aptitude
test ,personality test and group discussion. As we all know that, in today’s
highly competitive age the biggest problem is of retention of its highly
skilled employees in the organization. Recruitment plays a vital role in this
regard. But it should be seen that no system is without any flaws. Every
system has its strong and weak points and is open for change at any time.
IMPROVEMENT :-
DABUR a well-developed Selection System for its employee’s development.
Thus, the company provides scope for employees on future growth, career
planning, training and development.
