The success of an organisation depends on having the rightnumber of staff, with the right skills and abilities. Organisations may have a dedicatedpersonnel/human resource function overseeing this process, or they may devolve theseresponsibilities to line managers and supervisors. Many people may be involved, and allshould be aware of the principles of good practice. Even it is essential to involve others inthe task of recruitment and induction.MANPOWER PLANNING-Manpower planning means different things to different organizations. To somecompanys manpower planning means management development to others. It meansestimating manpower needs, while some other may define manpower planning asorganization planning. Although the term, manpower planning can be defined, as theprocess by which an organization ensures that it has the right number of people and theright kind of people at the right places, at the time doing things for which they areeconomically most useful.Manpower Planning Involves: -Manpower planning is a continuous process. In operational terms it involves the analysisof the current and future manpower resources terms and requirement to ensure that suchneeds and resources are always kept in proper balance, both in terms of quantity.Need for Manpower Planning:-All said and done, it cannot be define that the quality of manpower can be responsible forsignificant difference in the short and long run performance among companies. As RalphBesse once said, There is nothing we can do about performance of past management orthe qualification of todays management but tomorrows management can be as good astodays manager care to make it.Herber H Mayer has emphasized the importance of human assets and theirutilization as under:The efficient utilization of human resources may very well be the most importantdeterminer of success in the business world in the coming decade. I think that thecompanies that prosper in the future will be those that do the best job in fully utilizingtheir human resources.All organizations are basically human organizations. They need people to carry out theorganizational mission, goals and objectives. Every organization needs to recruit people.The recruitment policy should, therefore, address itself to the key question; what are thepersonnel/human resource requirement of the organization in terms of number, skills,levels etc to meet present and future needs of production and technical and other changesplanned or anticipated in the next years.MEANINGHigher education is a human resource intensive enterprise. It is not surprising, then, thatrecruitment and selection of staff should be a very high priority in most if not all unitsand divisions of student affairs. Recruitment and selection should include proceduresdirected to analyze the need and purpose of a position, the culture of the institution, andultimately to select and hire the person that best fits the position. Recruitment andselection policy should, then, be directed toward the following objectives:yyyyHire the right person.Conduct a wide and extensive search of the potential position candidates.Recruit staff members who are compatible with the college or universityenvironment and culture.yHire individuals by using a model that focuses on student learning and educationof the whole person.yPlace individuals in positions with responsibilities that will enhance their personaldevelopment.Issues in Recruitment and SelectionDo not discard applicants who stopped out to provide care for achild,or for maternity leave.Consider the dynamics of the interview is the candidate beinginterviewed in an environment that is representative of the officeenvironment.yyyUnderstand questions that cannot be asked regarding family,children, pregnancy, etc.yProvide medical insurance that covers the full range of medicalneeds of women employees, including reproductive health care.yProvide paid sick-leave policies for employees illness and illnessof spouses, lifetime partners, dependent children, and elderlyparents.yProvide life insurance, disability and pension programs that arenondiscriminatory on the basis of gender .yHave clear and vigorously enforced sex, race and sexualorientation discrimination and sexual harassment policies andinclude a statement about these policies in the advertisement of theposition.Before attempting to diversify a staff and make it more gender equitable, youmust tackle issues such as, gender stereotyping; discrimination in hiring, pay,andpromotions;familyissues;andsexualorientationdiscrimination.There are five areas critical to this process:1. Open communication.2. A commitment to creating an inclusiveEnvironment.3. Clear preconceived expectations based on gender4. A neutral supervisor who can observe differentstyles and facilitate communication when aconflict arises.5. Training sexual harassment as well as genderissues training (It is thought that 75-80% ofsexual harassment complaints could be preventedby understanding gender differencesRecruitment- Recruiters need to keep abreast of changes in the labour market to ensure that theirrecruitment efforts are not wasted or directed at too small a pool of labour. Skill shortagesmay occur unexpectedly and recruitment and training processes need to be kept flexible. It isa good idea for any organisation to plan its labour force requirements, matching availablesupply against forecast demand. A skills audit of existing staff will increase knowledge of theskills the organisation has available and those which are lacking, and thus help pinpoint areasfor future development.A human resource plan need not be highly complicated. A straightforward plan will helporganisations to:yassess future recruitment needsyformulate training programmesyyyyydevelop promotion and career development policiesanticipate and, where possible, avoid redundanciesdevelop a flexible workforce to meet changing requirementscontrol staff costs whilst ensuring salaries remain competitiveassess future requirements for capital equipment, technology and premises.Management is responsible for producing the human resource plan, senior management forsupporting it. Implementation is likely to be most effective if it carries the support oftheworkforce, normally achieved through consultation with trade union or other employeerepresentatives.Producing a human resource plan involves:yyyforecasting staffing requirements against business objectivesassessing the available supply of people to meet those requirementsmatching available supply against forecast demandFactors Affecting Recruitment: -In recruiting new employees management must consider the nature of labor market, whatsort of potential labor are available and how do look for works.The factor affecting can be summed up under the following heads: Labor Market Boundaries:- The knowledge of the boundaries help managementin estimating the available supply of qualified personnel form, which it mightrecruit. A labor market consists of a geographical area in which the forces ofdemand and supply interact and thus affect the price of labor. Available Skills:- Companies must locate the areas where they can findemployees who fit the jobs according to their skills. EconomicCondition:Economicconditionsalsoaffectrecruitment.Unemployment worker may swamp a new plan located in a depressed labormarket whereas a firm trying to establish it or to expand in an area where a fewqualified workers are out of wok has quite a different recruitment problem. Attractiveness of the Company: The attractiveness of the company in terms ofhigher wages, clean work, better fringe benefits and rapid promotions serves asinfluencing factor in recruitment.Importance of RecruitmentRecruiting people who are wrong for the organisation can lead to increased labourturnover, increased costs for the organisation, and lowering of morale in the existingworkforce. Such people are likely to be discontented, unlikely to give of their best, andend up leaving voluntarily or involuntarily when their unsuitability becomes evident.They will not offer the flexibility and commitment that many organisations seek.Managers and supervisors will have to spend extra time on further recruitment exercises,when what is needed in the first place is a systematic process to assess the role to befilled, and the type of skills and Most recruitment systems will be simple, with stages thatcan be followed as a routine whenever there is a vacancy to be filled, and which can bemonitored and adapted in the light of experience.This booklet describes the main features of such systems, and other related issues.Systems should be:yyyyefficient - cost effective in methods and sourceseffective - producing enough suitable candidates without excess and ensuring theidentification of the best fitted for the job and the organisationfair - ensuring that right through the process decisions are made on merit alone.PROCESS OF RECRUITMENTRecruitment ProcessA vacancy presents an opportunity to consider restructuring, or to reassess therequirements of the job. This assessment is valid whether it is to fill an existing job oranew one. Ask questions such as:yyyhas the function changed?have work patterns, new technology or new products altered the job?are there any changes anticipated which will require different, more flexible skillsfrom the jobholder?Answers to these questions should help to clarify the actual requirements of the joband how it fits into the rest of the organisation or department. Exit interviews, orconsultation with the current job-holder and colleagues may well produce good ideasabout useful changes.Recruitment begins by specifying the human resource recruitment, initiating activitiesand action to identify the possible sources form where they can be met,communicating the information about the jobs, terms and conditions and prospectsthey offer, and enthuse the people who meet the recruitment to respond to theinvitation by applying for jobs. Thereafter the selection process begins. The process isas follows:Decide on how many people you really need:-If everything is being done to improve performance and still there is a gap betweenwhat the current performance is and the goals set, then the best way is to recruit morepeople.Analyzing the job:-Analyzing the job is the process of assembling and studying information relating toallaspects of a particular post. Analysis is done to find possible details about: Purpose: Identify the aims and objectives of job and what the employee isexpected to achieve within department and company.Position: The job title, its position in the hierarchy and for whom it isresponsible ought to be recorded. A sample organization chart may be useful forthis purpose. Main Duties: A list of key tasks may be written out; standards that need to bereached and maintained must also be maintained. Methods of recording, assessingand recording the key tasks must be determined. The work Environment: Study the physical and social environment in which thework is out because the work environment influences the quantity and quality ofwork.Drafting a job description:-After job analysis is done, job description is made. Job description describes the job.The job description decides upon the exact knowledge, skill and experience needed todo the job.Job description must be drafted around these heading: Job title Responsible to Responsible for Purpose of job Duties Responsibility Signature and dateEvaluation future needsFor Evaluation future needs manpower is drafting. A manpower plan evolvesstudying the make-up of present work force, assessing forthcoming changes andcalculating future workforce, which is required. Manpower planning helps in devisinglong-term recruitment plans.Finding sources of recruitment:The human resource requirement can be met from internal or external source:Internal SourcesThese refer to persons already employed in the organization. Promoting persons fromlower levels may fill up vacancies at higher levels. Shortage of manpower in onebranch \ factory may be met by transferring surplus staff from another branch \factory. Promotion means shifting of an employee to higher post caring greater salary,status and responsibility. On the other hand transfer refer to the shifting an employeewith salary, status and responsibility. Some time ex-employee of the organizationmay be re-employed.Advantages of Internal Sources:1. Filling vacancies for higher job by promoting employees from with in theorganization helps to motivate and improved the morale of the employees. Thisinduces loyalty among them.2. Internal requirement has to minimize labor turnover and absenteeism. People waitfor promotion and the work force is more satisfied.3. Candidates working in organization do not require induction training. Theyare already familiar with organization and with the people working in it.Disadvantages of Internal Sources:1. There may be inbreeding, as fresh talent from outside is not obtained. Internalcandidates may not be given a new outlook and fresh ideas to business.2. Unsuitable candidates may not be promoted to positions of higher responsibilitybecause the choice is limited.3. The employees may become lethargic if they are sure of time bound promotion.There may be infighting among those who aspires for promotion with in theorganization.4. Internal recruitment cannot be complete method in itself. The enterprise has toresort to external recruitment at some stage because all vacancies cannot be filledfrom with in organization.External SourcesIt refers to recruitment of employees from outside the organization. External sourcesprovide wide choice of the required number of the employees having the desiredqualification. It also provides the people with new ideas and specialized skillsrequired to cope with new challenge and to ensure growth of the organization.Internal competitors have to compete with the outsiders. However, existingemployees resent the policy of filling higher-level vacancies from outsiders.Moreover it is time consuming and expensive to recruit peoples from outside.Recruitment from the outside may create frustration among the existing employeesthat aspires for promotions. There is no guarantee that the organizations will attractsufficient number of suitable candidates.Advantages of External Sources:1. The entry of fresh talent in to the organization is encouraged. New employeesbring new ideas to the organization.2. External sources provide wider sources of personnel to choose from.3. Requisite type of personnel having the required qualifications, training and skillare available from the external sources.Disadvantages of External Sources:1. The enterprise can make the best selection since selection is made from among alarge number of applicants.2. There is a greater decoration in employer- employee relationship, resulting inindustrial strikes, unrest, and lockouts.3. The personnels selected from outside may suffer from the danger of adjustmentto the new work environment.Monitoring effectiveness of recruitmentAs with any work activity it is recommended that the recruitment and inductionprocess be reviewed for its effectiveness. If any stage of the recruitment processfailed to produce the expected result, eg if the advertising method has produced toomany candidates, you may want to examine what happened and why in order to makeit more efficient in the future. Future recruitment exercises may require modificationsto the methods used - a successful recruitment for one job does not automaticallymean the same method will be as successful again. This is particularly true if thelabour market changes, with, for instance, fewer school leavers but more matureworkers being available.Recruitment and induction may be a continuous process inyour organisation, necessitating more or less constant monitoring.Monitoringregularly will also ensure equal opportunity policies are being actively pursued, andthat internal candidates are receiving the same consideration as external candidates.Application formsApplication forms can help the recruitment process by providing necessary and relevantinformation about the applicant and their skills . The design of the form needs to berealistic and straightforward, appropriate to the level of the job. Using applicationforms has the following advantages: comparing like with like is easier. CVs can be time-consuming and may notprovide the information required they provide the basis for an initial sift(filter), and then for the interview the standard of completion can be a guide to the candidate's suitability, ifwriting and presentation skills are essential to the job; however, be aware ofthe possibility of disability discrimination they provide a record of qualifications, abilities and experience as stated bythe applicant.Care also needs to be taken over some less positive aspects of application forms:ythere is a temptation to use application forms to try to extract too muchinformation, eg motives, values and personality characteristics. The form shouldconcentrate on the experience, knowledge and competencies needed for the jobysome people may dislike filling in forms and so be put off applying for the job.Some very experienced people may find the form inadequate, whilst those withlittle in the way of qualifications or experience may be intimidated by large emptyspaces on the form.yapplication forms add another stage, and therefore more time, to the recruitmentprocess. Some candidates may be lost if they can obtain work elsewhere morequicklyyApplication forms may inadvertently be discriminatory. For instance, torequire a form to be filled out 'in your own handwriting', where written English isnot relevant to the job, may discriminate against those for whom English is not theirfirst language, or who may not have well-developed literacy skills.Any information such as title (marital status), ethnic origin or date of birth requestedfor monitoring purposes (eg for compliance with the legal requirements and codes ofpractice on race, sex, disability and age discrimination) should be clearly shown to befor this purpose only, and should be on a separate sheet or tear-off section. Suchinformation need only be provided on a voluntary basis. Medical information shouldalso be obtained separately and kept separate from the application form.METHODS OF RECRUITMENTAll methods of recruitment can be put into three categories:a) Direct methodb) Indirect methodc) Third-party methoda) Direct Method:These include the campus interview and keeping a live register of job seekers. Usuallyunder this method, information about jobs and profile of persons available for jobs isexchanged and preliminary screening is done. The short listed candidates are thensubjected to the remainder of the selection process. Some organization maintains liveregisters or record of applicants and refers to them as and when the need arises.b) Indirect Method:They cover advertising in newspapers, on the radio, in trade and professionaljournals, technical journals and brochures.When qualified and experienced persons are not available through other sources,advertising in newspapers and professional and technical journals in made. Whereasall types of advertisements can be made in newspapers and magazines, only particulartypes of posts should be advertised in the professional and technical journals.A well thought-out and planned advertisement for appointments reduces thepossibility of unqualified people applying. If the advertisement is clear and to thepoint, candidates can assess their abilities and suitability for the position and onlythose who possess the requisite qualifications will applyc) Third Party Method:Various agencies are used for recruitment under these methods. These include commercialand private employment agencies, state agencies, and placement offices of schools,colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms, management consulting firms,indoctrination seminars for college professors, friends and relatives.Employment Agencies:They are specializing in specific occupation like general office help, salesman,technical workers, accountants, computer staff, engineers and executives and suitablepersons available for a job. Because of their specialization, they can interpret theneeds of their clients and seek out particular types of persons.State or Public Employment Agencies:They also knew as Employment or Labor Exchanges, are the main agencies for publicemployment. They also provide a wide range of services, like counseling, assistancein getting jobs, information about the labor market, labor and wage rates, etc.Executive Research Agencies:They maintain a complete information records about employed executives andrecommend persons of high caliber for managerial, marketing and productionengineers posts. These agencies are looked upon as head hunters, raiders, andpirates.Trade Unions:The employers to supply whatever additional employees may be needed often call onTrade Unions. Unions may be asked for recommendations largely as a matter ofcourtesy and an evidence of goodwill and cooperationProfessional Societies:They may provide leads and clues in providing promising candidates forengineering, technical and management positions. Some of these maintain mail orderplacement services.SELECTIONWhatever form the applications take, there may be a need to sift them before moving onto the interview stage. Such a sift serves to match the applicants as closely as possibleto the job and person specification and to produce a shortlist of people to interview.To avoid any possibility of bias, such sifting should be undertaken by two or morepeople, and it should involve the direct line manager/supervisor as well as personnel. Thesifting stage can also help the organisation by providing feedback on the advertisingprocess and the suitability of the application form. It can also identify people who mightbe useful elsewhere in the organisation. If references or medicals are to be taken upbefore the invitation to interview stage, it should be made clear on the applicationform/information pack sent to the applicant.If your organisation believes that pre-employment health screening is necessary, youmust make sure it is carried out in a non-discriminatory way: for instance, do notsingle out disabled people for medical assessment. If a report from any individual'sdoctor is sought, then permission must be given by the individual, and they have theright to see the report (Access to Medical Reports Act 1988).The candidates who best match the specifications may then be invited for interview.The invitation letter should tell candidates that they should advise the organisation inadvance if any particular arrangements need to be made to accommodate them onarrival or during the interview; for instance, ramp access or lighting levels. Theinvitation letter should also clearly state whether the organisation will pay thecandidate's reasonable travel expenses for the interview.A formal definition of selection is as following:It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire)those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.Selection process assumes and rightly so, that there are more number ofcandidate actually selected candidates are made available through recruitmentprocess.BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE SELECTIONThe main objectives of selection are to hire people having competence andcommitment. This objective is often defeated because of certain barriers. Theimpediments, which check effectiveness of selection, are perception, fairness,validity, reliability and pressure.Fairness: Fairness is selection requires that no individual should be discriminatedagainst on the basis of religion, region, race or gender. But the low numbers ofwomen and other less-privileged sections of the society in middle and seniormanagement positions and open discrimination on the basis of age in jobadvertisements and in the selection process would suggest that all the efforts tominimize inequity have not been very effective.Reliability:A reliable method is one that will produce consistent results whenrepeated in similar situations. Like a validated test, a reliable test may fail to predictjob performance with precision.Pressure: Pressure is brought on the selectors by politicians, bureaucrats, relatives,friends and peers to select particular candidates. Candidates selected because ofcompulsions are obviously not the rights ones. Appointments to public sectorundertakings generally take place under such pressures.SELECTION PROCEDUREThe selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about anapplicant. This information is secured in a number of steps and stages. The objective ofselection process is to determine whether an applicant needs the qualification for aspecific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to perform in that job.The hiring procedures not a single acts but it is essentially a series of methods or steps orstages by which additional information is secured about the applicant. At each stage, factsmay come to light, which lead to the rejection of the applicant. A procedure may beconsidered to a series of successive hurdles or barriers, which an applicant must cross.These are indented as screens and they are designed to eliminate an unqualified applicantat any point in this process. That technique is known as the successive hurdle technique.Not all selection process includes all these hurdles. The complexity of process usuallyincreases with the level and responsibility of the position to be fulfilled.A well-organized selection procedure should be designed to select sustainablecandidates for various jobs. Each step in the selection process should help in getting moreand more information about the candidate. There is no idle selection procedureappropriate for all cases.Steps in the selection process: Preliminary Screening Application Blank Employment Tests Selection Interview Medical or Physical Examination Checking Reference Final ApprovalPreliminary Screening:This is essentially to check whether the candidate fulfills the minimum qualification. Thepreliminary interview is generally quite brief. Its aim is to eliminate the unsuitablecandidate. The job seekers are received at the reception counter of the company. Thereceptionists or other official interviews the candidates to determine whether he isworthwhile or the candidate to fill up the application blank. Candidates processing theminimum qualification and having some chances of being selected are given theprescribed application form known as application blank.Application Blank:The candidates are required to give full information about their age, qualification,experience, family background, aptitude and interests act in the application blank. Theapplication blank provides a written record about the candidate. The application formshould be designed to obtain all relevant information about the candidates. Allapplications received from the candidates are carefully scrutinized. After thescrutiny more suitable candidates among the applicants are short-listed for written testsand others are rejected.Employment Tests:Candidates are asked to appear for written or other tests. Tests have become popularscreening devices. These tests are based on the assumption that human traits and workbehaviors can be predicted by sampling, however tests are not fully reliable and they alsoinvolve time and money. Test is more useful in identifying and eliminating unsuitablecandidates therefore should be used only as supplements rather than an independenttechnique of selection. The main types of tests are: Intelligence tests Aptitude Test Interest Test Personality TestSelection Interview:It involves a face-to-face conversation between the employer and the candidate; theselector asks a job related and general questions. The way in which a candidate respondsto the question is evaluated. The objectives of the interview are as following: To find out the candidates overall suitability for the job. To cross-check the information obtained through application blank and tests, and To give an accurate picture of the job and the company.Interview is the most widely used step in employee selection. However, interviewsuffers from several drawbacks:Firstly, it is a time consuming and expensive device. Secondly, it can test only thepersonality of the candidate and not his skill for the job. Thirdly, the interviewer may notbe an expert and may fill to extract all relevant information from the candidate. Fourthly,the personal judgment or bias of the interviewer may make the result of the interviewsinaccurate.Interview should be properly conducted in a proper physical environment. The interviewroom should be free from noise and interruptions. The environment should be confidentand quite. People generally talk freely and frankly when there is privacy and comfort.Therefore, candidates should be put at ease. The interviewer should pay full attention towhat the candidates have to say.Medical or Physical Examination:Candidates who are found suitable after interview are called for physical examination. APanel of doctors to insure that they are healthy and physically fit for the job does amedical check-up of such candidates. A proper medical examination will also ensure thatthe candidates selected do not suffer from any serious desirous which may createproblems in future.Medical or Physical Examination:Candidates who are found suitable after interview are called for physical examination. APanel of doctors to insure that they are healthy and physically fit for the job does amedical check-up of such candidates. A proper medical examination will also ensurethat the candidates selected do not suffer from any serious desirous which may createproblems in future.Checking Reference:Generally, every candidate if required to state in the application form, the name andaddress of at least two responsible persons who know him. The reference may not givetheir Frank opinion unless promises made that in all information will be kept strictlyconfidential. Moreover the information given by them may be biased in the form ofcandidate.Final Approval:The candidates who are found suitable after the medical check-up and backgroundinvestigation are formally appointed by issuing appointment letter to them. They areasked to join duty by the specified date. No selection procedure is foolproof and the bestway judge a person is by observing him working on the job. Candidate who givessatisfactory during the probationary period are made permanent.SUCCESSIVE HURDLES IN THE SELECTION PROCESSCHAPTER 3: COMPANY PROFILEBANK PROFILEOVERVIEWICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of Rs. 3,997.95 billion (US$100 billion) at March 31, 2008 and profit after tax of Rs. 41.58 billion for the year endedMarch 31, 2008.

Our UK subsidiary has established branches in Belgium and Germany.ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on Bombay Stock Exchange and theNational Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts(ADRs) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).HISTORY OF THE BANKICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financialinstitution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank wasreduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equityoffering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisitionof Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondarymarket sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICIwas formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India andrepresentatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a developmentfinancial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indianbusinesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financialinstitution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering awide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiariesand affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and thefirst bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of theemerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towardsuniversal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that themerger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for bothentities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universalbanking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through themerged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-basedincome and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders througha large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporaterelationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher marketshare in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vasttalent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors ofICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retailfinance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI CapitalServices Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICIand ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India inApril 2002.
