    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    With the help of this project, I have come to know that mere

    important concepts that in todays world are required and make business do

    well.

    Education imparts enlightenment but training polishes the

    personality of an individual. The Institute directed me to undertake summer

    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    As we know that in todays competitive world, it is very tough for every

    organization to compete with others. In any organization, human capital is

    most important factor to compete with this situation. Human resource affects

    every part in an organization. So in todays competitive world, every

    organization pays attention to search the talent pool. Recruitment &

    selection is so an important exercise to a personnel manager. Every year,

    number of companies become bankrupt due to their poor performance.

    Presently number techniques are available to judge the current position of

    the business.

    Summer training is an activity where the person is trained for

    present job. It improves the performance of a person towards the society and

    also towards the Organization.

    I have taken this project to enhance or to gain knowledge in the

    field of human resource management in an organization. I had completed my

    training from NARAYAN INTERNATIONAL, NOIDA.

    1.4 LIMITATION OF STUDY

    1-This project is based on the method of recruitment and selection

    policies and due to constraint of time is not possible to work on all

    tools and techniques of recruitment policies.

    2- The data collection is also limited.

    3- This project report is based on my own perception and finding so it

    cannot be used for generalizing purpose.

    4- Data are extracted from various employees and secondary sources

    so any error in the statement will subsequently affect the companys

    R&S process.

    2.1 INDUSTRIAL PROFILE

    A fast emerging economy in the world of home textiles, India produces a

    wide range of products, including home furnishings, household linen, curtain

    tapestry and yardage made with several textures and varying thickness. The

    home furnishing industry mainly exports fabrics, bed linen, table linen, toilet

    and kitchen linen, towels, cushions, curtains, pads, tapestries and

    upholstery's, carpets and floor coverings, etc. The industry has adopted

    several measures and techniques to offer premium quality and eco-friendly

    products to the global industry.

    The home furnishing products can be broadly categorized into five

    categories, which include - bedding, window dressings, bathroom textiles,

    cushions and covers, and table linen. Household penetration levels are high,

    especially in the largest sectors bedding and window dressings. While

    replacement due to wear and tear is not inevitably frequent, an increased

    consumer interest in home interior products has stimulated buying in what is

    now very much a fashion-led industry. The industry also benefits from the

    13

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    14/90

    growing number of households, a trend, which is expected to continue at an

    even faster rate.

    History of Indian Home Furnishings

    The roots of Indian home furnishings industry lie deep in age old traditions.

    Especially known for their ethnic, intricate carvings, weaves, pattern themes,

    motifs, color schemes and workmanship, Indian home furnishings have

    become popular the world across. Handcrafted ethnic home furnishings are

    one of the most fascinating art forms in India and lend an unmistakable

    grandeur to the decor.

    In the world of hand looms, there are Madras checks from Tamil Nadu, tie

    and dye from Gujarat and Rajasthan, ikats from Andhra and Orissa, brocades

    from Varanasi, Daccai from West Bengal, and phulkari from Punjab. The

    Surat tanchoi based on a method of satin weaving with the extra weft floats,

    which are absorbed in the fabric itself has been reproduced in Varanasi. In

    the domain of Woolen textiles, woolen weaves are no less subtle. The

    Kashmiri weavers are known the world across for their Pashmina and

    Shahtoosh shawls. The states of Kashmir and Karnataka are famous for their

    mulberry silk. India is the only nation in the world producing all fourcommercially known silks - mulberry, eri, tasser (tussore) and muga. Assam

    produces eri and muga silk, which are gaining immense popularity in the

    U.S.A. and Europe. The ikat technique in India is usually known as bandha

    in Orissa, patola in Gujarat, pagdu bandhu, buddavasi and chitki in Andhra

    Pradesh.

    Exports

    With their ethnic, intricate carvings, weaves, pattern themes, motifs, color

    schemes and workmanship, Indian home furnishing products are gaining

    15

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    16/90

    immense popularity among buyers the world across. The share of Indian

    exports in home textiles is increasing day by day. In 2002-03, the value of

    export of cotton handloom fabrics and made-ups was Rs. 544 crore, the

    value of export of handmade carpet and other floor coverings was of the

    order of Rs. 2590.26 crore and value of exports of other home furnishing

    products was Rs. 2633.37 crore.

    Future Forecast

    The future prospects for the Indian home furnishing industry are bright,

    especially in the post-quota regime. The industry is in an expansion mode

    and is expected to benefit from growing demand both in the domestic and

    global markets.

    While exports of Indian home furnishing products has increased, profits are

    sliding as prices have dropped 8-20 % and the industry is on the verge of a

    shakeout. With importers favoring suppliers with vertical production

    systems rather than dispersed manufacturing facilities, Indian exporters need

    to shore up their mass manufacturing techniques. The major requirement is

    the development of infrastructure.

    Labor laws also constitute a stumbling block in the growth of Indian home

    furnishing companies. Political conditions have prevented successive

    governments from instituting an exit policy. Because of this, manufacturers

    cannot employ short duration labor as they cannot lay them off when the

    17

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    18/90

    world trade cycle turns. Low labor productivity is another major constraint.

    On the technology front, government has initiated efforts to encourage

    manufacturers to go in for advanced technology. The grant has been

    increased for helping manufacturers in the up-gradation of technology.

    While China is clearly the leading exporter in the world of home furnishings,

    it is not a direct competitor of India. While China mainly uses man-made

    fibers and caters mass markets, India produces natural fiber and serves niche

    markets. At present, India is leading producer of man-made fiber and raked

    3 in cotton. A garment-driven and export-led strategy is expected to help the

    Indian market to grow to at $85 billion by 2010, according to a CRISIL

    report. The strategy should be focus on moving up the value chain instead of

    exporting intermediate stage products, say industry experts.

    22/90

    1. Placement of Order: This is the first step of any production industry

    in the way of business. The customers place the orders as per their

    requirement. These orders are placed in order to fulfill the requirement of the

    showrooms.

    2. Designing: After the placement of the order, the craftsman got

    involved in the designing. These designs are unique and of world class. The

    designs are made on the basis of taste, preferences, budget, and climaticconditions of that country.

    3. Procurement of Raw Material: Once the estimate of raw material,

    like cloth, threads, buttons, packing materials, stickers etc, is prepared. The

    raw material is procured from cotton mills in Delhi and around. The thread

    and other materials are procured from India and abroad. Before the

    acceptance of raw material, the cloth is checked for color bleeding first in

    the washing section.

    4. Cutting: Based on the design, the cloth is cut on the cutting machines.

    The tolerance is kept very precise during this stage because this stage

    decides the end production. During the cutting, the shrink margin of the

    product is kept in mind. After washing, the cloth gets shrunk so this margin

    is also taken into consideration.

    5. Tracing: Tracing is done with tinopal. This is a blue color chemical

    in liquid form. The design is traced on the cloth.

    Narayan International is very strong. They look basically for size, spots,

    loose threads, quilting. After inspection, a QC OK tag is placed on that piece

    duly signed by the QC inspector.

    3.1 ABOUT RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

    Introduction

    HRM is seen by practitioners, as a more innovative way of workplace

    management than the traditional approach. Its techniques force the managers

    of an enterprise to express their goals with specificity so that they can be

    understood and undertaken by the workforce and to provide the resourcesneeded for them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such,

    HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and

    operating practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to

    have a key role in risk reduction within organizations. The Human

    Resources Management (HRM) functions include a variety of activities and

    key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to

    use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting

    and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing

    with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management

    practices confirming to various regulations. Activities also include managing

    your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records

    and personnel policies. Usually small businesses (for-profit or nonprofit)

    have to carry out these activities themselves because they can't yet afford

    part- or full-time help. However, they should always ensure that employees

    have and are aware of personnel policies which conform to current

    29

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    30/90

    regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals,

    which all employees should have.

    Difference between HRM (a major management activity) and HRD (Human

    Resource Development, a profession): HRD includes the broader range of

    activities to develop personnel inside the organizations, including career

    development, training, organization development, etc.

    There is a long-standing argument about where HR-related functions should

    be organized into large organizations e.g. "should HR be in the Organization

    Development department or the other way around?"

    The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone tremendous change

    over the past 20-30 years. Many years ago, large organizations looked to the

    "Personnel Department," mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and

    paying people. More recently, organizations consider the "HR Department"

    as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so

    that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a

    highly fulfilling manner.

    Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach

    to the management of an organization's most valued assets - the people

    working there who individually and collectively contribute to the

    achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resourcemanagement" and "human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term

    "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in

    managing people in organizations. Human Resource management is

    30

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategichttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic
  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    31/90

    evolving rapidly. Human resource management is both an academic theory

    and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practical

    techniques of managing a workforce.

    Recruitment refers to the process of sourcing, screening, and selecting

    people for a job or vacancy within an organization. Though individuals can

    undertake individual components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-

    size organizations generally retain professional recruiters.

    The recruitment industry has four main types of agencies. Their recruiters

    aim to channel candidates into the hiring organizations application process.

    As a general rule, the agencies are paid by the companies, not the

    candidates. The industries practice of information asymmetry and recruiters

    varying capabilities in assessing candidate quality produces the negative

    economic impacts described by The Market for Lemons.

    PURPOSES AND IMPORTANCE:

    In general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially

    qualified job candidates. Specifically the purposes are to:

    1. Determining the present and future recruitment of the organization in

    conjunction with its personnel planning and job-analysis activities.

    2. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.3. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the

    Traditional Recruitment:

    Also known as employment agencies, recruitment agencies have historically

    had a physical location. A candidate visits a local branch for a short

    interview and an assessment before being taken onto the agencys books.

    Recruitment Consultants then endeavor to match their pool of candidates to

    their clients open positions. Remuneration for the agency's services usually

    takes one of two forms:

    A contingency fee paid by the company when a recommended candidate

    accepts a job with the client company (typically 20%-30% of the candidates

    32

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    33/90

    starting salary), which usually has some form of guarantee like if the

    candidate fails to perform, he will be terminated within a set period of time.

    An advance payment that serves as a retainer, also paid by the company. It

    may still be legal for an employment agency to charge the candidate instead

    of the company, but in most places that practice is now illegal, due to past

    unfair and deceptive practices.

    Online recruitment websites:

    Such sites have two main features: job boards and a rsum/Curriculum

    Vitae (CV) database. Job boards allow member companies to post job

    vacancies. Alternatively, candidates can upload a rsum to be included in

    searches by member companies. Fees are charged for job postings and

    access to search resumes.

    In recent times the recruitment website has evolved to encompass end to end

    recruitment. Websites capture candidate details and then pool then in client

    accessed candidate management interfaces (also online). Key players in this

    sector provide e-recruitment software and services to organizations of allsizes and within numerous industry sectors, who want to e-enable entirely or

    partly their recruitment process in order to improve business performance.

    The online software provided by those who specialize in online recruitment

    helps organizations to attract, test, recruit, employ and retain quality staff

    with a minimal amount of administration.

    Online recruitment websites can be very helpful to find candidates that are

    very actively looking for work and post their resumes online, but they will

    not attract the "passive" candidates who might respond favorably to an

    33

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    34/90

    opportunity that is presented to them through other means. Also, some

    candidates who are actively looking to change jobs are hesitant to put their

    resumes on the job boards, for fear that their current companies, co-workers,

    customers or others might see their resumes.

    Headhunters:

    Headhunters are third-party recruiters often retained when normal

    recruitment efforts have failed.

    Headhunters are generally more aggressive than in-house recruiters. They

    may use advanced sales techniques, such as initially posing as clients togather employee contacts, as well as visiting candidate offices. They may

    also purchase expensive lists of names and job titles, but more often will

    generate their own lists. They may prepare a candidate for the interview,

    help negotiate the salary, and conduct closure to the search. They are

    frequently members in good standing of industry trade groups and

    associations. Headhunters will often attend trade shows and other meetings

    nationally or even internationally that may be attended by potential

    candidates and hiring managers.

    Headhunters are typically small operations that make high margins on

    candidate placements (sometimes more than 30% of the candidates annual

    compensation). Due to their higher costs, headhunters are usually employed

    to fill senior management and executive level roles, or to find very

    specialized individuals.

    While in-house recruiters tend to attract candidates for specific jobs,

    headhunters will both attract candidates and actively seek them out as well.

    34

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    35/90

    To do so, they may network, cultivate relationships with various companies,

    maintain large databases, purchase company directories or candidate lists.

    In-house recruitment:Larger employers tend to undertake their own in-house recruitment, using

    their Human Resource department. In addition to coordinating with the

    agencies mentioned above, in-house recruiters may advertise job vacancies

    on their own websites, coordinate employee referral schemes, and/or focus

    on campus graduate recruitment. Alternatively a large employer may choose

    to outsource all or some of their recruitment process (Recruitment process

    outsourcing).

    35

    36/90

    The Recruitment Process

    These are the main recruiting stages:

    Sourcing:

    Sourcing involves:

    1. advertising, a common part of the recruiting process, often encompassing

    multiple media, such as the Internet, general newspapers, job ad newspapers,

    professional publications, window advertisements, job centers, and campus

    graduate recruitment programs.2. Recruiting research, which is the proactive identification of relevant talent

    who may not respond to job postings and other recruitment advertising

    methods done in. This initial research for so-called passive prospects, also

    called name-generation, results in a list of prospects who can then be

    contacted to solicit interest, obtain a resume/CV, and be screened.

    Screening & selectionSuitability for a job is typically assessed by looking for skills, e.g.

    communication, typing, and computer skills. Qualifications may be shown

    through rsums, job applications, interviews, educational or professional

    experience, the testimony of references, or in-house testing, such as for

    software knowledge, typing skills, numeracy, and literacy, through

    psychological tests or employment testing.

    In some countries, employers are legally mandated to provide equal

    opportunity in hiring.

    Agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives and

    specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)36

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    38/90

    INTERNAL SOURCES

    There are two important internal resources of recruitment, namely, transfers

    and promotions.

    (i) Transfers:

    It involves the shifting of an employee from one job to another,

    one department to another or from one shift to another. Transferred is a good

    source of filling vacancies with employees from overstaffed departments or

    shifts. At the time of transfer, it should be ensured that the employee to be

    transferred to another job is capable of performing it. In fact transfer does

    not involve any drastic change in the responsibilities, pay and status of the

    employee. Transfer or job rotations are also used for training of employees

    in learning different jobs.

    (ii) Promotions:

    It leads to shifting an employee to a higher position, carrying

    higher responsibilities, facilities, status and pay. Many companies follow the

    practice of filling higher jobs by promoting employees who are considered

    fit for such positions. Filling vacancies in higher jobs from within the

    organization has the benefit of motivating the existing employees. It has a

    great psychological impact over the employees because a promotion at the

    higher level may lead to a chain of promotions at lower levels in theorganization.

    39/90

    40/90

    EXTERNAL SOURCES

    Every enterprise has to tap external sources for various positions. Running

    enterprises have to recruit employees from outside for filling the positionswhose specifications cannot be met by the present employees and for

    meeting the additional requirements of manpower. The following external

    sources of recruitment are commonly used by the big enterprises:

    i) Direct Recruitment:

    An important source of recruitment is direct recruitment by placing

    a notice on the notice board of the enterprise specifying the details of the job

    available. It is also known as recruitment at the factory gate. The practice of

    the direct recruitment is generally followed for filling casual vacancies

    requiring unskilled workers. Such workers are known as casual or badly

    workers and they are paid remunerations on daily-wage basis.

    This method of recruitment is very cheap as it does not involve any

    cost of advertising vacancies. It is suitable for filling casual vacancies when

    greater rush of work or when a number of permanent workers are absent.

    (ii) Casual callers or Unsolicited applicants:

    The organizations which are regarded as good employers draw a

    steady stream of unsolicited applications in their offices. This serves as a

    valuable source of manpower. If adequate attention is paid to maintain

    pending application folders for variousjobs, the personnel departments

    40

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    41/90

    may find the unsolicited applications useful in filling the vacancies

    whenever they arise. The merit of this source of recruitment is that it avoids

    the costs of recruiting workforce from other sources.

    (iii) Media Advertisement:

    Advertisement in newspapers or trade and professional journals

    is generally used when qualified and experienced personnel are not available

    from other sources. Most of the senior positions in industry as well as

    commerce are filled by this method. The advantage of advertising is that

    more information about the organization, job descriptions and job

    specifications can be given in the advertisement to allow self-screening by

    the prospective candidates. Advertisement gives the management a wider

    range of candidates from which to choose. Its advantage is that it may bring

    in a flood of response, and many times, from quite unsuitable candidates.

    (iv) Employment Agencies:

    Employment exchanges run by the Government are regarded as

    a good source of recruitment for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled operative

    jobs. In some cases, compulsory notification of vacancies to the employment

    exchange is required by law. Thus, the employment exchanges bring the job

    givers in contact with the job seekers. However, in the technical and

    professional area, private agencies and professional bodies appear to be

    doing most of the work. Employment exchanges and selected private

    agencies provide a nation-wide service in attempting to match personnel

    demand and supply.

    41

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    42/90

    (v) Management Consultants or Head Hunters:

    Management consultancy firms help the organizations to

    recruit technical, professional and managerial personnel. They specialize inmiddle level and top level executive placements. They maintain data bank of

    persons with different qualifications and skills and even advertise the jobs

    on behalf of their clients to recruit the right type of personnel. A few

    examples of head hunters are A.F. Ferguson and Co., ABC Consultants,

    Godmans International, Mantec Consultants, etc. These days, professional

    bodies of accountants, engineers, etc. also help their members to get suitable

    placements in industrial organizations.

    (vi) Educational Institutions or Campus Recruitment:

    Jobs in commerce and industries have become technical and

    complex to the point where college degrees or diploma are widely required.

    Consequently, big organizations maintain s close liaison with the

    universities, vocational institutes and management institutes for recruitment

    to various jobs. Recruitment from educational institutes is a well-established

    practice of thousands of business and other organizations. It is also known

    as campus recruitment. Reputed industrial houses which require

    management trainees send their officials to campuses of various

    management institutes for picking up talented candidates doing MBA.

    Organizations which seek applicants for continuing apprenticeship

    programme usually recruit from technical institutions or polytechnics

    offering vocational courses.

    42

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    43/90

    (vii) Recommendations or Referrals:

    Applicants introduced by friends and relatives may prove to

    be a good source of recruitment. In fact, many employers prefer to take such persons because something about their background is known. When a

    present employee or a business friend recommends some one for a job, a

    type of preliminary screening is done and the person is placed on a job.

    Some organizations have agreements with the trade unions to give

    preference to blood relations of existing or retired employees if their

    qualifications and experience are suited to fill the vacant jobs.

    (viii) Labor contractors:

    Labor contractors are an important source of recruitment

    in some industries in India. Workers are recruited through labor contractors

    who are themselves employees of the organization. The disadvantage of this

    system is that if the contractor leaves the organization, all the workers

    recruited by him will also leave. That is why, this source of recruitment is

    not preferred by many business organizations. Recruitment through labor

    contractors has been banned for the public sector units. However, the

    practice is still common in case of construction industry.

    43

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    44/90

    (ix) Telecasting:

    The practice of telecasting of vacant post over T.V.

    (Doordarshan and other channels) is gaining importance these days. Specialprogrammes like Job Watch, Youth Pulse, Employment News etc. over

    the T.V. have become quite popular in recruitment for various types of jobs.

    The detailed requirement of the job and qualities required to do it are

    publicized alongwith the profile of the organization where the vacancy

    exists.

    T.V. as a source of recruitment is used less as compared to other sources.

    The reasons for this are:

    1. Telecasting is an expensive medium.

    2. The advertisement for the job appears for a very short time and it is

    not repeated. The candidates may not be able to understand it.

    3. The candidates who dont watch T.V. miss the information about job

    vacancies.

    4. If there is a power failure in the area, the candidates living in such

    area miss the vacancies telecast during the period of power failure.

    Merits of External sources:

    1. Qualified Personnel. By using external sources of recruitment, the

    management can make qualified and trained people to apply for vacant jobs

    in the organization.2. Wider Choice. When vacancies are advertised widely, a large number

    of applicants from outside the organization apply. The management has a

    wider choice while selecting the people for employment.

    44

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    45/90

    3. Fresh Talent. The insiders may have limited talent. External sources

    facilitate infusion of fresh blood with new ideas into the enterprise. This will

    improve the overall working of the enterprise.

    4. Competitive Spirit. If a company can tap external sources, the existing

    staff will have to compete with the outsiders. They will work harder to show

    better performance.

    Demerits of External Sources:

    1. Dissatisfaction among Existing Staff. External recruitment may lead

    to dissatisfaction and frustration among existing employees. They may feel

    that their chances of promotion are reduced.

    2. Lengthy Process. Recruitment from outside takes a long time. The

    business has to notify the vacancies and wait for applicants to initiate the

    selection process.

    3. Costly Process. It is very costly to recruit staff from external sources.

    A lot of money has to be spent on advertisement and processing ofapplications.

    4. Uncertain Response. The candidates from outside may not be suitable

    for the enterprise. There is no guarantee that the enterprise will be able to

    attract right kinds of people from external sources.

    HR Challenges In Recruitment

    Lack Of Motivation: Recruitment is concerned to be thankless job.

    Even if the organization is achieving results, HR department or

    professionals are not thanked for recruiting the right employees &

    performers.

    Process Analysis: The immediacy & speed of the recruitment processare the main concerns of the HR in recruitment.

    Strategic Prioritization: The emerging new systems are both an

    opportunity as well as a challenge for the HR professionals.

    Adaptability to Globalization: The HR professionals are expected &

    required to keep in tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes

    taking place across the globe.

    RECURITMENT PROCESS FOLLOWED IN NARAYAN

    INTERNATIONAL, NOIDA

    Here the company adopted separate systems for recruiting their staff andworkers. For staff member the company adopted the traditional process like

    by written test, G.D., interview and for the worker level the company

    adopted the flowing process.

    On gate

    By the contractor

    By the camp

    On the reference

    Thus the recruitment process of Narayan International is like other

    companies but one different way observed was the camp based selection

    process. I think this a different kind of process and unique in itself. The

    company runs the camp in the rural and remote area in state for the

    Recruitment. They conduct one week program and in this time interval they

    select number of candidate. This helps not only the company but also the life

    of rural people who are cut off from the rest world due to several reasons.

    This also helps increasing the economic and social conditions of the remote

    area which ultimately helps the nation development.

    By this process the company also fulfills the social objectives of the

    company.

    Legal factor: There are various legal provisions, which affected the

    recruitment policy of an organization. Various act which provides therestriction to free recruitment are child labor act 1986, employment

    exchange act 1959.

    Supply & demand: If the company has a demanded more

    professionals & there is a limited supply in the market for the

    Competitors: The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect

    the recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition,

    many a times the organizations have to change their recruitment

    policies according to the policies being followed by the Competitors.

    INDUCEMENTS

    Organizational inducements are all the positive features and benefits

    offered by an organization that serves to attract job applicants to the

    organization.

    Three inducements need specific mention here, they are:-

    Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases,

    incentives and fringe benefits can all serve as inducements to

    potential employees

    Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to

    grow personally and professionally and also attract good people to

    the organization. The feeling that the company takes care of

    employee career aspirations serves as a powerful inducements to

    potential employees.

    Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organizations

    reputation include its general treatment of employees, the nature and

    3.3 Introduction Of Selection

    The size of the labor market, the image of a company, the place of posting,

    the place of job, the compensation package & a host of other factors

    influence the manner in which job aspirants are likely to respond to the

    recruiting efforts of a company. Through the process of recruitment, a

    company tries to locate prospective employees & encourages them to apply

    for vacancies at various levels. Recruiting thus, provides a pool of applicants

    for selection. Selection is the process of picking individual with requisite

    qualifications & competence to fill job in the organization.

    A Formal Definition: It is the process of differentiating between applicants

    in order to identify those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.

    According To DALE YODER, Selection is the process in which candidates

    for employment are divided into two classes: those who are to be offered

    employment & those who are not. Selection means a process by which

    qualified personnel may be chosen from the applicants offering their

    services to the organization for employment.

    Selection is the process of examining the applicants with regard to

    their suitable for the given job or jobs, & choosing the best form the suitable

    candidates & rejecting others. The , selection is negative in its application in

    as much as it seeks to eliminate as many unqualified applicants as possible

    in order to identify the right candidates.

    In course of time, the employee may find the job distasteful and

    leave in frustration. He may even circulate hot news and juicy bits of

    negative information about the company, causing incalculable harm to the

    57

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    58/90

    company in the long run. Effective Selection, therefore, demands constant

    monitoring of the fit between people the job.

    SELECTION PROCESS

    59

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    60/90

    Reception:-

    A company is known by the people it employs. In order to attract people

    with talents, skills and experience a company has to create a favorable

    impression on the applicants right from the stage of reception. Whoever

    meets the applicant initially should be tactful and able to extend help in a

    friendly and courteous way. Employment possibilities must be presented

    honestly and clearly. If no jobs are available at that point of time, the

    applicant may be asked to call back the personnel department after some

    time.

    Screening Interview :-

    A preliminary interview is generally planned by large organizations to cut

    the cost of selection by allowing only eligible candidates to go through the

    further stages in selection. A junior executive from the Personnel

    Department may elicit responses from the applicants on important items

    determining the suitability of an applicant for a job such as age, education,experience, pay expectations, aptitude, location, choice etc. this courtesy

    interview as it is often called helps the department screen out obvious

    misfits. If the department finds the candidate suitable, a prescribed

    application form is given to the applicants to fill and submit.

    Application Blank:-

    Application blank or form is one of the most common methods used to

    collect information on the various aspects of the applicants academic,

    social, demographic, work related background and references.

    60

    It is a brief history sheet of employees background, usually containing

    the following things:

    Personal data (address, sex, telephone number)

    Marital data

    Educational data

    Employment Experience

    Extra-curricular activities

    References and Recommendations

    Usefulness of Application Blank or Form :

    Application blank is highly useful selection tool, in that way it serves

    three important purposes:

    1. It introduces the candidate to the company in a formal way.

    2. It helps the company to have a cross-comparison of the applicants. The

    company can screen and reject candidates if they fail to meet the

    Eligibility criteria at this stage itself.3. It can serve as a basis to initiate a dialogue in the interview.

    Selection Testing:-

    A test is a standardized, objective measure of a persons behavior,

    performance or attitude. It is standardized because the way the tests is

    carried out, the environment in which the test is administered and the way

    the individual scores are calculated- are uniformly applied. It is objective in

    that, it tries to measure individual differences in a scientific way giving very

    61

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    62/90

    little room for individual bias and interpretation. Over the years employment

    tests have not only gained importance but also a certain amount of

    inevitability in employment decisions. Since they try to objectively

    determine how well an applicant meets the job requirement, most companies

    do not hesitate to invest their time and money in selection testing in a big

    way.

    Some of the commonly used employment tests are:

    Intelligence tests

    Aptitude tests

    Personality tests

    Achievement tests

    1. Intelligence Tests:

    These are mental ability tests. They measure the incumbents learning

    ability and the ability to understand instructions and make judgments. The

    basic objective of such test is to pick up employees who are alert and quickat learning things so that they can be offered adequate training to improve

    their skills for the benefit of the organization. These tests measure several

    abilities such as memory, vocabulary, verbal fluency, numerical ability,

    perception etc.

    2. Aptitude Test:

    Aptitude tests measure an individuals potential to learn certain skills

    like clerical, mechanical, mathematical, etc. These tests indicate whether or

    not an individual has the capabilities to learn a given job quickly and

    5. Simulation Tests:

    Simulation exercise is a test which duplicates many of the activities

    and problems an employee faces while at work. Such exercises are

    commonly used while hiring managers at various levels in an organization.

    To assess the potential of a candidate for managerial positions, assessment

    center are commonly used.

    6. Assessment Centre:

    An assessment center is an extended work sample. It uses procedures that

    incorporate group and individual exercises. These exercises are designed to

    stimulate the type of work which the candidate will be expected to do.

    Initially a small batch of applicants comes to the assessment center (a

    separate room). Their performance in the situational exercise is observed and

    evaluated by a team of 6-8 assessors. The assessors judgment on each

    exercise are compiled and combined to have a summary rating for each

    candidate being assessed.

    .

    Miscellaneous tests such as graphology, polygraph and honesty tests:-

    Graphology Test:

    Graphology involves using a trained evaluator to examine the lines, loops,

    hooks, stokes, curves and flourishes in a persons handwriting to assess the

    persons personality and emotional make-up. The recruiting company, may,

    for example, ask the applicants to complete the application forms and write

    about why they want a job. These samples may be finally sent to

    graphologist for analysis and the result may be put use while selecting a

    person.. The use of graphology, however, is dependent on the training and

    expertise of the person doing the analysis. In the actual practice, questions of

    validity and just plain skepticism have limited in use.

    Polygraph (Lie-Detector) tests:

    The polygraph records physical changes in the body as the tests subject

    answers a series of questions. It records fluctuations in respiration, blood

    pressure and perspiration on a moving roll of graph paper. The polygraph

    operator forms a judgment as to whether the subjects response was truthful

    or deceptive by examining the biological movements recorded on the paper.

    The fact is that the polygraph records the biological reaction in response to

    stress and does not record lying or even conditions necessarily

    accompanying lying. Is it possible to prove that the responses recorded by

    65

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    66/90

    the polygraph occur only because a lie has been told? What about those

    situations in which a person lies without guilt (pathological liar) or lies

    believing the responses to be true? The fact of the matter is that polygraphs

    are neither reliable nor valid.

    Integrity Test:

    These are designed to measure employees honestly to predict those who are

    more likely to steal from an employer or otherwise act in a manner

    unacceptable to the organization.

    The applicants who take these tests are expected to answer several yes

    or no type questions such as:

    Typical Integrity Questions Yes

    No

    Have you ever told a lie? ..

    ..

    Do you report to your boss if you know of another .

    employee stealing from the store?

    Do you carry office stationary back to your home . .

    for occasional use?

    Selection Practice Of Global Giants

    candidates. The company uses occupational personality questionnaire to understand the

    candidates personal attributes and occupational testing to measure competencies.

    2. LG Electronics India: LG Electronics uses 3 psychometric tests to measure a

    persons ability as a team player, to check personality types and to find a persons

    responsiveness and assertiveness.

    professionals for global careers with it, the company uses a competency- based

    EXTERNAL ANLYSIS

    An opportunity is the chance to introduce a new product or service that can

    generate superior returns. Opportunity can arise when changes occur in

    external environment. Many positions of existing products and may

    necessitates a change in product specifications or developments of new

    products in order for the firm to remain competitive. Changes in the

    environment may be related to:

    Customers: Customers expectations have increased over the years,

    Narayan International needs to evolve with the changing environment

    and focus upon R&D and advertising.

    Competitors: The competitive scenario at the International level is

    more of a disguised duopoly than a real one. A closer look at national

    markets shows the presence of strong players such as Design Hut,

    Priyadarshani Enterprises, Indu Exports. This has held the prices in

    check for a long time.

    Market trends: Growth in the over 40 year-old Indian Export

    industry has remained slow. Back-of -the-envelope calculations will

    show that per capital household per month has been increased

    5.1 SUGGESATIONS AND RECCOMENDATIONS

    Narayan International is the first choice of International customers as far as

    export quality home furnishing goods are concerned. By strong financial and

    structural position it is top to its competitors. In era of globalization the

    company growth and future are safe. The price policies followed by the

    company separates it from its competitors. The recruitment and selection

    policies are very good. Talent search in rural area, in my concerned, first

    time adopted by any company in India.

    In hole training period I learn a lot in Narayan International and found that

    some of the areas where the company requires improvements like:

    INDUCTION PROCESS:

    It has been rightly said that if the beginning of a new

    voyage in our lives be good, all goes well after that. The true in many

    organizations, which go an extra mile when they have new employees on

    board. If a new hire gets inducted into the organization in a proper manner,

    he/she feels more connected to the organization and eventually, loyalty and

    long-terms association follow.

    86

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    87/90

    After joining a new organization, many of us find ourselves thrown into a

    new environment, with a lot of apprehensions. This is where induction

    trainee can help familiarize us with the organizations philosophy, along

    with key business processes and our work responsibilities.

    It is absolutely necessary to unbolt the door to international business

    customs and practices so as to enable international managers to conduct

    business successfully around the world.

    CROSS CULTURE ISSUES:

    Today, when business has become global, to achieve success, one not only

    needs to communicate in a language that can be understood, but also needs

    to know the customs and the non-verbal practices of every culture.

    IN THE AREA OF TALENT SEARCH:

    Organizations recognized the need for maintaining reserve talent to fill avacancy as and when it arises. But the whole process of talent acquisition,

    i.e., how to fix and select talent for the organization remains largely

    undefined and is often left to the discretion of the individual managers hiring

    then. As a result of this the process varies from one manager to another

    which is highly undesirable. For example, some

    Managers adopt the procedure of posting their job requirements on major

    websites and newspapers, or search for suitable resumes available on

    different job sites, while some other prefer an internal recruiter, a search

    firm, attending job fair or hiring known people.

  • 8/6/2019 Copy of Project Report_511014694

    89/90

    BECAUSE DYNAMIC PERSONALITY IS VERY IMPORTAN TO

    SUCCESS IN THE PRESENT ERA, SO COMPANY SHOULD CARE

    FOR FOLLOWING:

    Understanding the demographics of workforce both current and

    future.

    Identification of economic issues which have an impact on the

    organizations sustainability.

    Identification of organizational and cultural issues which influence

    talent acquisition.

    Knowledge about industry trends and emerging issues.

    According to the Talent Acquisition Strategies Benchmark Report by

    Aberdeen Group, a market research-based organization found that 59% of

    the best in class companies reported that their overall performance was

    increased after implementation of their talent acquisition strategy compared

    to 41% of industry average and 33% of laggard companies. The report also

    offered the following recommendation:

    Alignment of talent acquisition strategy with the overall corporate

    strategic plan.

    Measuring workforce performance on the basis of quality of hire and

    time per hire.

    Elimination of traditional paper methods and using latest

    technological developments.

    Focusing on a long -term plan.

    Managing workforce wholly.
