PREFACE
Practical training constitutes an integral part of the management studies. Training g
an opportunity to the students to expose themselves to the industrial environment w
is quite different from the classroom technique. The practical knowledge is an impo
suffix to the theoretical knowledge.
One cannot rely merely upon theoretical knowledge. It has to be coupled with practica
it to be fruitful. Classroom lectures make the fundamental concepts of management c
but not their application in actual practice.
The classroom learning needs realities of practical situations. The training also ena
the management students to see the working conditions under which they have to wo
future. It thus enables the students to undergo those experiences which will help th
later when they join any organization.
In order to achieve the whole hearted cooperation of the employees, it is importan
raise their moral and make then self sufficient, effective and efficient. So,
organization needs to provide its workers with basic and extra knowledge to improve t
skills while, side by side, improving their personalities.
As a part of curriculum of MBA, I was assigned to study & prepare a re
on COMPERATIVE STUDY OF MUTUAL FUND IN INDIA assigned to me by KA
STOCK BROKING PVT. LTD. GURGAO while undergoing practical training in
factory.
During the training, I understood how KARVY GROUP increases
efficiency & effectiveness of its workers by imparting safety, health and good wor
environment to them and developing them in all respects.

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
The human resource is the most important assets of an organization. The succes
failure of an organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people wor
therein. Without positive and creative contributions from people, organizations canprogress and prosper. In order to achieve the goals of an organization, there
organization needs employees with requisite skills, qualifications and experience. W
doing so, we have to keep the present as well as the future requirements of
organization in mind.
Most employees recognize the fact that their staff is their greatest asset, and the rig
recruitment and selection process are vital in ensuring that the new employee becomeffective in shortest time. The success of an organization depends on having the rig
number of staff, with right skills and abilities. Organizations may have a dedicated
personnel/human resource function overseeing the process, or they may develop the
responsibilities to line managers and supervisors. Many people may be involved, and
should be aware of the responsibilities of good practice. Even in large organizations w
a specialist personnel department it is essential to involve others in the task of
recruitment & selection.

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is the process of locating and encouraging potential applicants to apply
existing or anticipated job openings. It is actually a linking function, joining together th
with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs. Recruitment, logically, aims at
1)Attracting a large number of qualified applicants who are ready to take up the job i
offered and
2)Offering enough information for unqualified persons to self-select themselves out
(For Example -: The recruitment ad of a foreign bank may invite applications f
chartered accountants who have cleared the CA examination in the first attempt only)
Edwin B Flippo defined recruitment as “process of searching for prospec
employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.

Management is responsible for producing the human resource plan, senior managem
for supporting it. Implementation is likely to be most effective if it carries the support of
workforce, normally achieved through consultation with trade union or other emplo
representatives.
Producing a human resource plan involves:
• forecasting staffing requirements against business objectives
• assessing the available supply of people to meet those requirements
• Matching available supply against forecast demand .
Management has to attract more candidates in order to increase selection ratio
number of applications per one job vacancy)in order to select the most suit
candidates out of the total candidates. Recruitment is positive as it aims at increasing
number of applicants and selection is somewhat negative as it selects the suit
candidates in which process the unsuitable are automatically eliminated. Though,
function of recruitment seems to be easy, a number of factors make performanc
recruitment a complex one.

Economic Environment:
Economic conditions quietly influence the recruitment process in
organisations.Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalization (LPG era) have contribute
the growing demand for management graduates possessing fund-raising,
management, and marketing skills initially. Companies have to resort to exten

expensive media advertising only. In early 2000, once again, created great demand
people having engineering, research &design skills.Recruiters, not surprisingly, are b
in the arena in a big way, exploiting the opportunities through various means.
Social Environment:
Major social changes in the past two decades have caused organizations to p
increased emphasis on recruitment. Modern employees look for a satisfying carrieplace of “just a job”. If the opportunities for carrier growth are missing in an organisa
they don’t hesitate to leave and go in search of greener pastures outside. If
organization is not aware of-and is insensitive to – prevailing social values and norms
recruitment efforts could go back off the track.
Technological Environment:

candidates available in the market.

Political Environment:
In the late 80s,’equal employment opportunity’ had become a major slogan in corpo
circles. Companies realized that employment needs must be defined in terms of abilit
perform the job, not in terms of race, colour, sex or national origin. Phrases such as “
men need apply”; and “age 25-35 group preferred” no longer appeared in
advertisement for job vacancies. Factors such as influence of unions, recommendat
of friends and relatives of management also play an important role in influen
recruitment policies followed by a firm.
Legal Environment:
The different legislative policies governing child labour,night shift work, bon
labour,contract labour,reservation, ‘sons of soil’ have brought the legal environment to
a major item to be looked into carefully by all companies intending to recruit people
various positions.

Making Decision
Decide whom to employ as soon as possible after the interview/test/assessment. Use
structured scoring system helps here, particularly one that is based on the applica
competencies, and helps avoid the pitfalls of stereotyping, making snap judgments,
'mirror-image' effects (that is, a subconscious subjectivity - looking for similaritie
oneself in the candidate). Structured scoring allows the organization to weight so
elements or competencies if desired, and to compare a candidate's score with the
specification 'ideal' score - although care must be taken when considering the results
a high overall score doesn't mask a low score in a crucial area.
Write up notes immediately after the interview - recording relevant answers and de
This is not only for the decision-making process but also to provide feedback to
candidate if requested. Bear in mind the provisions of the Data Protection Act 19
which will enable the candidate to ask to see interview notes where they form part
'set' of information about the candidate - for instance, the application form, referen
received and so on, or the full personnel file if the candidate is already working for
organization. Be aware also that your reasons for appointing or not appointing a partic
candidate may be challenged under discrimination legislation.
Inform all the applicants of the outcome as soon as possible, whether successfu
unsuccessful. Keep in touch if the decision is delayed.
Try to give positive feedback to unsuccessful candidates on any aspects they c
reasonably improve for future success. It is sensible to maintain a favorable view of
organization among the applicants - there may be future job vacancies for which t
would be suitable and for which you would wish them to apply. Failure to get one job d
not necessarily mean unsuitability for other jobs with the organization. You may wan
keep CVs or applications on file for future matching. Also bear in mind that applicants
their families may be your customers as well as potential employees, so it ma
business sense to treat them fairly and courteously.
References and checking
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 30/75
State on the application form when any references will be sought, and do not approa
current employer unless the candidate has given express permission. If references
sought, they will be most effective if you include a job description with the request,
structured, relevant questions that will enable you to gain accurate further informa
about the candidate's abilities. Do not ask for personal information or for conjecture ab
the applicant. Remember too that completing a reference takes time and pro
consideration, so only seek such references if you believe they are necessary
appropriate. A simple form confirming dates of employment, capacity and particular s
may be satisfactory.
The holding of particular qualifications, training or licenses may be important to the
and it is reasonable to ask candidates for proof. If checks on such qualifications are to
made, it is good employment practice to make sure the applicant knows, and that co
of any relevant documents will be held on their personnel file.
The timing of reference and qualification checks is variable. It is often the case
references are taken up at shortlist or offer stage, and the candidate may be aske

RECRUITMENT IS DISTINCT FROM EMPLOYMENT AND SELECTION
Once the required number and kind of human resources are determined,
management has to find the places where required human resources are or wil
available and also find the means of attracting them towards the organization be

Some people use the term ‘recruitment’ for employment. These two are not one and
same. Recruitment is only one of the steps in the entire employment process. So
others use the term recruitment for selection. These two terms are not one and the sa
either.
Technically speaking the function of recruitment precedes the selection function a

them to apply for jobs in an organization, whereas the selection is the process of fin
out the most suitable candidate to the

Recruitment vs. employment : Building Employer Brand Equity
In these days of a full-blown talent war, building your company’s brand image as
employer is extremely crucial. But companies often give very little importance to w

This article takes a look at some common mistakes.
A joke despite being a joke can help us focus on a very significant issue that can mak
mar a company’s brand equity in the talent market. Provided by a management friend
me share it with you:
Once upon a time a highly successful Human Resources manager met with an accid
and died. Her soul arrived in heaven where she was received at the gates by St Peter
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 32/75
“Welcome to Heaven,” he said. “Before you get settled in though, we have a sm
problem. You see, strangely enough, we’ve never once had a Human Resou
Manager make it this far and we’re not really sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” said the woman.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have higher orders. What we’re going to
is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose which
one you want to spend an eternity in.”
“Actually, I think I’ve made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven,” said the woman.
“Sorry, we have rules…
And with that St Peters put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-dow
hell.
The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green
beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her w
all her friends – fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dresse
evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks
they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night wenthe country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.
She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and she had a g
time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she kne
it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on
elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the gates of heaven and foundPeters waiting for her.
“Now it’s time to spend a day in heaven,” he said. So she spent the next 24 ho
lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time
before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St Peters came and got her.
“So, you’ve spent a day in hell and you’ve spent a day in heaven. Now you must cho
your eternity.” The woman paused for a second and then replied, ‘Well, I never though
say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I

Had a better time in Hell.”
So St Peters escorted her to the elevator and again she w
down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found her
standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends w
dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and pu
it in sacks.
The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
“I don’t understand,” stammered the woman, “yesterday I was here and there was a
course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. N
all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”
The Devil looked at her smiled and said “Yesterday we were recruiting you, today yo
an employee.”
The moral of the story: never make the mistake of giving a bloated and rosy pictur
your company while recruiting. Let the prospective new recruit know exactly what
store for him or her in terms of working conditions, leave rules, any fine print in
compensation package or employee contract document, canteen and refreshm
facilities, appearance policies if any, any other standard rules or procedures that may
specific to your particular industry especially in case the new recruit is coming f
another industry, etc.
In short, try to give the new recruit as much of a complete idea as possible about the
organization that she/he is joining. It is also often a good idea to take the new re
around the office to show her/him the exact workplace where she will be assigned –
particular cubicle or office area where she will sit and the colleagues she will have aro
her.
Many companies abroad do this as a standard policy to ensure that the employee
feel comfortable and be productive right from the day she/he joins.
You will be surprised to find out how much of an impact that such an approach can h
on both the attrition and retention rates as well as on your company’s brand equity a

Ultimately, HR is all about human relations. Never neglect that in all your work, espec
when recruiting – usually a time when you as a HR manager will get the best opportu
to make the first impression as an employer on a new employee.
Importance of Good Recruitment & Selection
Recruiting people who are wrong for the organization can lead to increased l
turnover, increased costs for the organization, and lowering of morale in the exis
workforce. Such people are likely to be discontented, unlikely to give of their best,
end up leaving voluntarily or involuntarily when their unsuitability becomes evident. T
will not offer the flexibility and commitment that many organizations seek. Managers
supervisors will have to spend extra time on further recruitment exercises, when wh
needed in the first place is a systematic process to assess the role to be filled, and
type of skills and abilities needed to fill it.
Most recruitment systems will be simple, with stages that can be followed as a rou
whenever there is a vacancy to be filled, and which can be monitored and adapted in
light of experience.
This booklet describes the main features of such systems, and other relaissues. Systems should be:
• efficient - cost effective in methods and sources
• effective - producing enough suitable candidates without excess and ensuring
identification of the best fitted for the job and the organization
• Fair - ensuring that right through the process decisions are made on merit alon

The Recruitment Process
A vacancy presents an opportunity to consider restructuring, or to reassess
requirements of the job. This assessment is valid whether it is to fill an existing job new one. Ask questions such as:
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 35/75
• Have work patterns, new technology or new products altered the job?
• Are there any changes anticipated which will require different, more flexible s
from the jobholder?
Answers to these questions should help to clarify the actual requirements of the job
how it fits into the rest of the organization or department. Exit interviews, or consulta
with the current job-holder and colleagues may well produce good ideas about us
changes. Writing a good job description or job specification helps in the proces
analyzing the needs of the job.
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 36/75
Job Description /Job Specification :
This should detail the purpose, tasks and responsibilities of the job. A good
description should include:
• Main purpose of the job - try to describe this in one sentence
• Main tasks of the job - use active verbs, like 'writing', 'repairing', 'machin
'calculating', instead of vaguer terms like 'dealing with', 'in charge of'
• Scope of the job - expanding on the main tasks and the importance of the
Job importance can be indicated by giving information such as the numbe
people to be supervised, the degree of precision required and the value of
materials and equipment used.
A good job description is useful for all jobs. It can help with induction and trainin
provides the basis for drawing up a person specification - a profile of the skills
aptitudes considered essential and desirable in the job-holder. It enables prospec
applicants to assess themselves for the job and provides a benchmark for jud
achievements.
Persons Specification
Drawing up the person specification allows the organization to profile the ideal perso
fill the job. It is very important that the skills, aptitudes and knowledge included in
specification are related precisely to the needs of the job; if they are inflated beyond th
necessary for effective job performance, the risk is that someone will be employed on
basis of false hopes and aspirations, and both the employer and employee will end
disappointed in each other.
Another good reason not to set unnecessary requirements is to avoid any possibilit
discrimination against particular groups of potential applicants. The very proces
writing a job and person specification should help the employer to develop and implem
a policy of equal opportunity in the recruitment and selection of employees.
Factors to consider when drawing up the specification include:
• skills, knowledge, aptitudes directly related to the job
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 37/75
• the competencies necessary
• education and training but only so far as is necessary for satisfactory
performance, unless the person is being recruited on the basis of future pote
(e.g. graduate trainees), when a higher level of education may be specified
any criteria relating to personal qualities or circumstances which must be essential
directly related to the job, and must be applied equally to all groups irrespective of a
sex, race, age, nationality, creed, disability, membership or non-membership of a tr
union. To do otherwise is potentially discriminatory
Application forms
Application forms can help the recruitment process by providing necessary and rele
information about the applicant and their skills . The design of the form needs to
realistic and straightforward, appropriate to the level of the job. Using application fo
has the following advantages:
Comparing like with like is easier. CVs can be time-consuming and may
provide 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 suitabilitwriting and presentation skills are essential to the job; however, be aware o
possibility of disability discrimination
They provide a record of qualifications, abilities and experience as stated
the applicant.
Care also needs to be taken over some less positive aspectsapplication forms:
• There is a temptation to use application forms to try to extract too m
information, e.g. motives, values and personality characteristics. The form sh

• Some people may dislike filling in forms and so be put off applying for the
Some very experienced people may find the form inadequate, whilst those

5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 38/75
• Application forms add another stage, and therefore more time, to the recruitm
process. Some candidates may be lost if they can obtain work elsewhere m
quickly
• Application forms may inadvertently be discriminatory. For instance, to requi
form to be filled out 'in your own handwriting', where written English is not relev
to the job, may discriminate against those for whom English is not their
language, or who may not have well-developed literacy skills.
Any information such as title (marital status), ethnic origin or date of birth requested
monitoring purposes (e.g. for compliance with the legal requirements and code
practice on race, sex, disability and age discrimination) should be clearly shown to be
this purpose only, and should be on a separate sheet or tear-off section. Such informa
need only be provided on a voluntary basis. Medical information should also be obta
separately and kept separate from the application form.
Complexity of the Function of Recruitment
Performing the function of recruitment i.e. increasing the selection ratio is not as easy
it seems to be. This is because of the hurdles created by the internal factors and exte
factors which influence an organization. The first activity of recruitment i.e. searching
prospective employees is affected by many factors like
1. Organizational policy regarding filling up of certain percentage of vacancies by inte
candidates.
2. Local candidates (sons of soil).
3. Influence of trade unions;
4. Government regulations regarding reservations of certain number of vacancie
candidates based on community/region/ caste/ sex.
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 39/75
The other activity of recruitment is consequently affected by internal factors such as:
1. Working conditions;
2. Promotional opportunities;
3. Salary levels, type and extent of benefits;
4. Other personnel policies and practices;
5. Image of the organization;
6. Ability and skill of the management to stimulate the candidates.
It is also affected by External factors like:
1. Personnel policies working conditions, salary, benefits, employee relations etc.,
2. Career opportunities in other organizations;
3. Government regulations.

Selecting the best candidate
Whatever form the applications take, there may be a need to sift them before moving
to the interview stage. Such a sift serves to match the applicants as closely as possib
the job and person specification and to produce a shortlist of people to interview. To a
any possibility of bias, such sifting should be undertaken by two or more people, a
should involve the direct line manager/supervisor as well as personnel. The sifting st
can also help the organization by providing feedback on the advertising process and
suitability of the application form. It can also identify people who might be us
elsewhere in the organization. If references or medicals are to be taken up before
invitation to interview stage, it should be made clear on the application form/informa
pack sent to the applicant.
If your organization believes that pre-employment health screening is necessary,
must make sure it is carried out in a non-discriminatory way: for instance, do not si
out disabled people for medical assessment. If a report from any individual's docto
sought, then permission must be given by the individual, and they have the right to
the report (Access to Medical Reports Act 1988).
The candidates who best match the specifications may then be invited for interview.
invitation letter should tell candidates that they should advise the organization in adva
if any particular arrangements need to be made to accommodate them on arriva
during the interview; for instance, ramp access or lighting levels. The invitation le
should also clearly state whether the organization will pay the candidate's reason
travel expenses for the interview.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 42/75
Who Makes The Decision?
In some companies there will be a personnel or human resource specialist who
undertake most of the sifting and short listing. It is very important that the
manager/supervisor for the job also be involved, both at the job and person specifica
stage and at the interview stage. The final selection will thus normally be a joint decis
except in those very small companies where only a line manager/supervisor is avail
to do the recruitment of staff.
Gaining the commitment of the immediate manager/supervisor by involving them in
selection process can be vital to ensuring that the new employee is settled success
into the organization. It may be useful both for the candidates to see the environme
which they would be working, and, if they are to be part of a team, for the current te
members to meet the candidate.
There is a variety of methods available to help in the selection process - includ
interviews, tests (practical or psychometric), assessment centers, role plays and t
exercises, to name a few. Usually a range of methods will be used by the organiza
depending on the type of job to be filled, the skills of the recruiter and the budget
recruitment.
Selection Techniques
Interview:
Most jobs are filled through interviews. The interview has two main purposes - to find
if the candidate is suitable for the job, and to give the candidate information about the
and the organization. Every candidate should be offered the same opportunities to
the best presentation of them, to demonstrate their suitability and to ask questions of
interviewer.
A structured interview designed to discover all relevant information and assess
competencies of the applicant is an efficient method of focusing on the match betw
job and candidate. It also means that there is a consistent form to the intervi
particularly important if there are a number of candidates to be seen.
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 43/75
Unstructured interviews are very poor for recruiting the right person. The struct
interview is most likely to be effective in obtaining specific information against a se
clearly defined criteria. However, not every manager is skilled at interviewing, and
not be able to judge efficiently the applicant's skills and competencies. Ideally
interviewers should receive training, including the equal opportunities aspects
recruitment and the relevant legislation.
Interviews need not be formal. The length and style of the interview will relate to the
and the organization. Some vacancies may call for a formal interview panel, some f
less formal, one-to-one interview. The interviewer(s) should consider the job and
candidates when deciding on the nature of the interview.
The interviewer should prepare by:
• reading the application form, job and person specifications to identify areas w
need further exploration or clarification
• Planning the questions. In some interviews it is appropriate to ask only one or
questions to encourage the candidate to talk at length on certain subjects
others it may be better to ask a series of short questions on several different ar
If there is more than one interviewer, different people can cover different tope.g. job
• Knowledge, training, qualifications. Do not ask for personal information or vi
irrelevant to the job. Do not ask potentially discriminatory questions such as
you planning to have children in the next few years?'
• Being ready for the candidates' questions, and trying to anticipate what additio
information they may seek.
Conducting the interview
Conduct the interview in an environment that will allow candidates to give of their b
Arrange for there to be no interruptions, divert telephone calls, welcome the candidate
and show them cloakroom facilities, etc.
If possible, let the candidate have a brief tour of the place of work. This is particuuseful in the case of people new to the job market (school-leavers, returning men

also prove valuable in offering an additional opportunity to assess the candida
interaction with possible colleagues.
Consider whether any adjustments need to be made to accommodate an interviewee
has indicated a disability on the application form - it is easy to overlook sim
adjustments that may be reasonable to make:
• candidates with hearing impairment may not only need to be able to clearly see
interviewer as they are talking, but may need communication support if they
not to be placed at a disadvantage
• Is there an alternative to steps for access to the building? Can the interview t
place elsewhere, where access might be easier for someone with a phy
disability?
It is common that both interviewer and candidate are nervous. Thorough preparation
help both of you. Be careful not to fill silences by talking too much - the aim of
interview is to draw information from the candidate to decide if they would suit the
The candidate should do most of the talking.
Nevertheless, the interviewer will want to encourage candidates to relax and give of t
best in what is, after all, a somewhat unnatural setting. It is important to keep
conversation flowing, and the introductions and initial 'scene-setting' can help all pa
settle to the interview.
Practical Tests
If the job involves practical skills, it may be appropriate to test for ability before or at
time of interview. This is generally acceptable for manual and word processing skills,
less useful for clerical and administrative posts. Telephone skills are increasingl
demand, and candidates for telesales/call centre work will almost invariably be aske
undertake a practical test. Any tests must, however, be free of bias and related to
necessary requirements of the job. Consideration in giving any tests must include
objectives of such a test, the efficiency of the method selected, the numbers
candidates (and vacancies), the costs and benefits of such a method.

Psychometric and psychological tests including biodata
There are numerous tests commercially available which can assist in measuring asp
of personality and intelligence such as reasoning, problem solving, decision mak
interpersonal skills and confidence. Although many large organizations have used tfor a number of years, they are not widely
Used, and some tests are considered controversial - for instance, those that ass
personality. Any organization considering the use of psychometric or psychological t
should refer to the guides available, and make sure they have the need, skills
resources necessary.
Tests should never be used in isolation, or as the sole selection technique. Whe
decision is made solely on the automatic processing of personal data, an applicant
require, under the Data Protection Act 1998, that the organization reconsiders
rejection or make a new decision on another basis.
Biodata (short for biographical data), is a questionnaire format with multiple ch
answers. The questions are of a biographical nature and answers are scored accordin
the scoring key developed by the employer. In general biodata is successfully used
by really large employers, who have a large throughput of applicants . Use of biodata,
other tests, needs careful control to avoid any possibility of discrimination or invasio
privacy.
Think carefully before using any test - is it actually necessary for the requirements of
job? Is the test relevant to the person/job specification? What is the company policy a
using tests, storing results and giving feedback to the candidate? Marking criteria mus

Protection legislation.

Making Decision
Decide whom to employ as soon as possible after the interview/test/assessment. Use
structured scoring system helps here, particularly one that is based on the applica
competencies, and helps avoid the pitfalls of stereotyping, making snap judgments,
'mirror-image' effects (that is, a subconscious subjectivity - looking for similaritie
oneself in the candidate). Structured scoring allows the organization to weight so
elements or competencies if desired, and to compare a candidate's score with the
specification 'ideal' score - although care must be taken when considering the results
a high overall score doesn't mask a low score in a crucial area.
Write up notes immediately after the interview - recording relevant answers and de
This is not only for the decision-making process but also to provide feedback to
candidate if requested. Bear in mind the provisions of the Data Protection Act 19
which will enable the candidate to ask to see interview notes where they form part
'set' of information about the candidate - for instance, the application form, referen
received and so on, or the full personnel file if the candidate is already working for
organization. Be aware also that your reasons for appointing or not appointing a partic
candidate may be challenged under discrimination legislation.
Inform all the applicants of the outcome as soon as possible, whether successfu
unsuccessful. Keep in touch if the decision is delayed.
Try to give positive feedback to unsuccessful candidates on any aspects they c
reasonably improve for future success. It is sensible to maintain a favorable view of
organization among the applicants - there may be future job vacancies for which t
would be suitable and for which you would wish them to apply. Failure to get one job d
not necessarily mean unsuitability for other jobs with the organization. You may wan
keep CVs or applications on file for future matching. Also bear in mind that applicants
their families may be your customers as well as potential employees, so it ma
business sense to treat them fairly and courteously.
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 47/75
State on the application form when any references will be sought, and do not approa
current employer unless the candidate has given express permission. If references
sought, they will be most effective if you include a job description with the request,
structured, relevant questions that will enable you to gain accurate further informa
about the candidate's abilities. Do not ask for personal information or for conjecture ab
the applicant. Remember too that completing a reference takes time and pro
consideration, so only seek such references if you believe they are necessary
appropriate. A simple form confirming dates of employment, capacity and particular s
may be satisfactory.
The holding of particular qualifications, training or licenses may be important to the
and it is reasonable to ask candidates for proof. If checks on such qualifications are to
made, it is good employment practice to make sure the applicant knows, and that co
of any relevant documents will be held on their personnel file.
The timing of reference and qualification checks is variable. It is often the case
references are taken up at shortlist or offer stage, and the candidate may be aske

Recruitment vs. employment: Building Employer Brand Equity
In these days of a full-blown talent war, building your company’s brand image as
employer is extremely crucial. But companies often give very little importance to w
seem to be inconsequential issues to their top managers who are usually comple

This article takes a look at some common mistakes.
A joke despite being a joke can help us focus on a very significant issue that can mak
mar a company’s brand equity in the talent market. Provided by a management friend
me share it with you:
Once upon a time a highly successful Human Resources manager met with an accid
and died. Her soul arrived in heaven where she was received at the gates by St Peter
“Welcome to Heaven,” he said. “Before you get settled in though, we have a sm
problem. You see, strangely enough, we’ve never once had a Human Resou

p , g y g ,
“No problem, just let me in,” said the woman.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have higher orders. What we’re going to
is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose which
one you want to spend an eternity in.”
“Actually, I think I’ve made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven,” said the woman.
“Sorry, we have rules…
And with that St Peters put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-dow
hell.
The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green
beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her w
all her friends – fellow executives that she had worked with and they were well dresse
evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks
they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night wen
the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.
She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute) and she had a g
time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she kneit was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on
elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the gates of heaven and found
Peters waiting for her.
“Now it’s time to spend a day in heaven,” he said. So she spent the next 24 ho
lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St Peters came and got her.
“So, you’ve spent a day in hell and you’ve spent a day in heaven. Now you must cho
your eternity.” The woman paused for a second and then replied, ‘Well, I never though
say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I
Had a better time in Hell.”
So St Peters escorted her to the elevator and again she w

dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and pu
it in sacks.
The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
“I don’t understand,” stammered the woman, “yesterday I was here and there was a
course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. N
all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”
The Devil looked at her smiled and said “Yesterday we were recruiting you, today yo
an employee.”
The moral of the story: never make the mistake of giving a bloated and rosy pictur
your company while recruiting. Let the prospective new recruit know exactly what
store for him or her in terms of working conditions, leave rules, any fine print in
compensation package or employee contract document, canteen and refreshm
facilities, appearance policies if any, any other standard rules or procedures that may
specific to your particular industry especially in case the new recruit is coming f
another industry, etc.
In short, try to give the new recruit as much of a complete idea as possible about the
organization that she/he is joining. It is also often a good idea to take the new re
around the office to show her/him the exact workplace where she will be assigned –
particular cubicle or office area where she will sit and the colleagues she will have aro
her.
Many companies abroad do this as a standard policy to ensure that the employee
feel comfortable and be productive right from the day she/he joins.
You will be surprised to find out how much of an impact that such an approach can h
on both the attrition and retention rates as well as on your company’s brand equity a
employer.
Ultimately, HR is all about human relations. Never neglect that in all your work, espec
when recruiting – usually a time when you as a HR manager will get the best opportu
to make the first impression as an employer on a new employee.

LIMITATIONS OF THESTUDY
5/11/2018 Vikalp Final Report (2) - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vikalp-final-report-2 68/75
Limitations of the STUDY
Time is the real factor which affects the study i.e. the time duration of eight we
for the project work is very short span of time to conduct effective study.
Some departments are remaining untouched to this exercise. Hence it does
bring complete picture of organization’s competence level.
Employees need expectation and behavior very from one person to anot
During survey some employees show keen interest in topic and give their vi
and on the other hand some employees don’t show any interest and
wholeheartedly in my survey.
Scarcity of needful printed documents on the topic.
All the employees and officers were found very busy in their working hours.
Many a times my guide and others executives were not available in their s
because they were busy in their allied work so as a researcher I have to visit m
a times to meet them and discuss on my topic.
The questionnaire being objective type could not have provided much opportu
for employees to give much ideas and suggestions.
