 ABSTRACT

Human resources are the most valuable assets of an organization. An organization

performance and resulting productivity are directly proportional to the quality of its human

resource, hence it is very important to select individuals with required knowledge, desired

skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes and then train them according to their skills they

are interested in and then check their performance. Hence RECRUITMENT AND

SELECTION plays a very important role in every organization.

Every organization whether it is large or small requires effective personnel runs its

business. To have efficient personal has to be required.

To select the right person at right job, place them at right place, trains them at right

time and check their performance in order to check they performance. The management has

to carefully check the candidate’s performance throughout his work. From the result of these

tests the right person is selected and performance is measured.

The major sources of information for this study is from the appraisal forms of

Antenna Groups where focus is more on the seniority of the employees and not on the actual

performance of the employees, exceptionally good performers are regarded through other

means like award of citation. Sometimes respondents may give biased answers.

From the study in CARE HOSPITALS it has been evaluated that some of the people

with certain quantum of educational background, feels that Performance Appraisal system

needs certain changes like grading system instead of allotting marks so as to have an

assessment for career growth in the organization.

Another section of employees felt that the present system is satisfactory though there

are certain limitations in giving marks particularly to the executives as the difference in total

marks is nominal for a good and average performer.

 The project work entitled “The study of Recruitment and Selection in “CARE

HOSPITALS” covers various levels of employees in the organization. Since Quality Care

India Ltd has a very well organized and established HRD and various Recruitment and

Selection mechanism, it was a great opportunity for me to study this aspect in detail within

the time frame available and make a report.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 I owe to many people for successful completion of this project work. I would like to

thank CARE HOSPITALS, NAMPALLY, HYDERABAD for giving me an opportunity to

undergo a project study in this organization.

My honest thanks to Mr. K.RADHA MANOHAR Sir, Manager-HR who inspire of

their busy schedule could always spare time for guiding me in doing project study in CARE

HOSPITALS.

 1. INTRODUCTION FOR THE STUDY
In this information age, the importance of human capital and human asset cannot do
ignored; rather it is that line of business that could lead any organization to attain heights.
This is the factor that makes difference between one organization and another. Getting the
right person at the right place and then retaining him is the main area of concern in today’s
corporate world. Hence, the emphasis is being laid to device policies and programs in such a
manner that it leads to retention of the desired manpower and thus contributes towards
organizational development. Each organization is now thriving to attain the best person i.e.
the knowledgeable worker and leverage their wisdom towards the achievement of the
organizational objectives. Nobody wants to have the third best or the second best, but to have
he best person in the organization it becomes very difficult to retain them.
Certain great leaders who have made their mark in corporate world by their actions
say that every organization can acquire the same machinery, the same infrastructure etc. but
what makes the difference in one organization to another is the manpower it possess which
cannot be copied down.
Considering the aspect of sourcing, no organization should ever think that once it has
acquired the best talent created favorable conditions to retain them they would not require
going in for sourcing activities. Hence this should be kept in mind that sourcing is a
continuous process, on outgoing one and will have its existence till the organization
functions. Unless and until a person is sourced from outside, how will the organization get
the best. To have the best it is essential to acquire it from outside. There has been tremendous
change in the technology and for the organization to surviving in this changing scenario; it
has become very essential that they keep up with the pace with the changes in the technology,
the change in the culture etc.
Taking for example no organization can even think of operating without the use of
information technology, now it becomes very difficult and costly affair to train the people
within the organization at different level to learn how to make use of this technology. Hence
sourcing is done and the best talent is acquired so that the person not only takes case of
changing technical needs of the organization but also be able to make other employee learn
from him.
After having determined the number and kinds of personnel required the human
resource and personnel manager proceeds with identification of sources of recruitment and
finding suitable candidates for employment. Both internal and external sources of manpower
are used depending upon the types of personnel needed.
The selection procedure starts with the receipt of applications for various jobs from
the interested candidates. Totally unsuitable candidates are rejected at the screening stage.
Man power planning gives an assessment of the number and type of people required in the
organization. The next task of the personnel manager is to find out capable and suitable
persons who may be working in the organization itself while others will have to be sought
from outside the organization. It involves persuading and inducing suitable persons to apply
for and seek jobs in the organization.
Recruitment refers to the attempt of getting interested applicants and providing a pool
of prospective employees so that the management can select the right person for the right job
from this pool. Recruitment is a positive process as it attracts suitable applicants to apply for
available jobs. The process of recruitment:
1. Identifies the different sources of labour supply
2. Assesses their validity
3. Chooses the most suitable source or sources
4. Invites applications from the perspective candidates for the vacant jobs.

MEANING
RECURITMENT:-
 It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicant for employment. The

process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applicants are

submitted. The result is pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.

SELECTION:-
It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify those with a

greater likelihood of success in a job.

DEFINITIONS:
RECUIRTMENT
Recruitment defines it as a process of searching for prospective employees and
stimulating to apply for job in the organization.
Flippo

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

requirements of staffing schedule and to employee effective measures for attracting that
manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.
Yoder

SELECTION

Selection is the process of discovering the qualification and characteristic of the job
applicant in order to establish their likely suitability for the job position.
Flippo
The hiring process is of one or many ‘go, no-go’ gauges. Candidates are screened by
the application of these tools. Qualified applicants go on to the next hurdle, while the
unqualified are eliminated
Yoder

2. NEED FOR THE STUDY

In the past scenario, people hired were not a tough job. When manpower was
required, it was available at the immediate stage. Now, in this present scenario, getting
manpower hired is a tough job for the management. The management has to start its hiring
process much in advance to the actual time needed to require.

Hence the needs are directed towards identifying present recruitment and selection
policies and its effectiveness in terms of number of people hired.

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

• To identify how interviews contribute to the effectiveness of selection process.

• To put on suggestions on how to improve the presently followed recruitment and
selection procedure.
 • To determine, whether an applicant meets the job specifications who most likely to
perform well in that job.
• To identify the sources of manpower supply with a view to acquire the best possible
candidates.

4. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

selection in a concerned organization helps to reveal the best methods of recruitment and
selection at that concerned organization.

5. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

NAMPALLY. Certain limitations of the study are:
• Accuracy of information given by the employees cannot be guaranteed.

• The study was conducted at the levels of the managerial and the employee category.
• Some aspects of the recruitment policies were not disclosed in the study, as the
management wanted it to be confidential.

INTRODUCTION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:

Earlier before Personnel management and Human resources management man was
treated as a tool in the company/ business Organization. The duty of a man was to work for

money and they were not even allowed to use their knowledge and skills at work which used

to be a routine work. According to them the resources are material, money and machinery.
As the time passed they have come to know that” Business houses are made/broken in the

long-run not by the market or capital, patents or equipments, but by men” and also identified

that they play a vital role in the Organization.

NATURE AND SCOPE OF HR’s:

People in any organization manifest themselves, not only through individual sections

but also through GP interactions. When individual come to work place, they come with not

only technical skills, knowledge etc, but also with their personal feelings, perception, desires,

motives, attributes, values etc, therefore, employee management in an organization does

mean management of not only technical skills but also other factors of the human resources.

MEANING OF HR’s MANAGEMENT:

Different terms are used to denote hr’s management. They are labor management,
labor management relations, employee, employer relations and industrial relations.
Personnel Administration, Personnel Management, Human Capital Management,
Human Asset Management, and the like. Though these terms can be differentiated widely, the
basic nature of distinction lies in the scope or coverage and evolutionary stage.

In simple sense, human resources management means employing people their

resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their service in tune with the job and
organizational requirements.

DEFINITIONS:

“Human resources management is a series of decisions that affect the relationship

between employees and employers; it affects many constituencies and is intended to

influence the effectiveness of employees and employers.

Milkovich & Boudreau

 The term human resources can be thought of as” the total knowledge, skills, creative
abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organizations work force, as well as the value, attitudes
and beliefs of the individuals involved.
Leon C. Megginson

 1. INTRODUCTION OF CARE HOSPITALS

Care foundation is a registered non profit society with the mandate of making quality
health care affordable and accessible to all through appropriate use of technology. The
foundation has been established by a group of medical scientists and technologies with the
stated mission of making advanced comprehensive healthcare affordable and accessible to all.
The foundation is a non- profit organization and is registered as a society under Andhra
Pradesh Society Act 1365 Falsie.

The patron of the foundation is renowned cardiologist padmashri Dr B.SomaRaju and

the chairman of the foundation is prof.P.krishnam Raju. The foundation implements its
mission of making advanced technology based care affordable and accessible to common
man under a three dimensional programme.
a. Conducting research & imparting specialized education,
b. Developing cost effective medical products, and
c. Providing health care to people from the economically weaker
sections of the society and those living in rural areas.

In 1997, when Dr.B.Soma Raju and Dr.D.Prasada Rao led a team of medical
professionals to set up the first CARE Hospital, it signaled the dawn of a new era in medical
care .At the heart of this movement was a burning desire to practice medicine with
compassion, concern and care, with a single minded objective the recovery of the patient.
Today, with Multi-Specialty Hospital across the state, and a reputation for humanization and
selfless service of the highest order, CARE Hospital enjoys an unbelievable amount of
goodwill. A million smiles will bear testimony to that.
 The organization was incorporated with the main objective of running all kinds of
hospitals, dispensaries ,nursing homes, clinical laboratories carrying out medical research,
education and train medical students ,nursing professionals, hospital administrator, grant
diplomas or recognitions as the company may deem fit and to render professional
consultancy and advice to any individual firm, company, Govt etc. in the fields of research
and development relating to medical, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
GROWTH

The care foundation was established with the noble objective of providing needed
research in cardiology, to achieve indigenization of the fast growing range of hard ware
products, devices and disposables in the field to provide excellent academics at different
levels and to strive to bring down the ever bargaining cost of cardiac health care under the
able leadership of its founder, chairman DR.B.SOMA RAJU. The care foundation has
relentlessly pursued those objectives and can now look back with some satisfaction on the
work done towards this end in the first few years of its experience.
Quality care India limited was an inevitable off shoot of the zeal to achieve the above
mentioned objective. And it has the purpose of giving a practical shape to this pursuit. The
care hospital Nampally, Hyderabad is the first of the project of Quality Care India limited
established in July 1997 in leased premises ,the Hospital needs little to be said in its praise as
the direction it has then and its achievements are now very well known, the immense
credibility it has established is just a reflection of this. DR.B.SOMA RAJU is himself, the
chairman of Quality Cares India limited and the care hospital and DR.B.PRASAD RAO, the

emergencies .The unit is staffed with an in house cardiologist around the clock, supported by
junior doctors, an anesthetist, a large number of technicians and nursing staff and others.

 ORGANISATION STRUCTURE

PATIENT

Doctors and Nurses

Paramedics and House keepers

Departmental Manager

Support Manager

Directors
In structure, we see patients, are at high priority, at

quality care the main criteria is putting the patient first above ones own interest.” They are

treated as Elite Group of the organization.

The next preference is given to doctors and nurses; they are the people who give

emotional support and satisfaction to the patients. The more comfort they give the more

satisfied is the patient, here the nurses play a very important and vital role, they look after

every aspect of the patient starting with their food to their medicines, for this they have to be

very patient, humble and pleasing.

 The next comes Paramedics and House keeping, the more cleanliness the more

attractive the hospital, so the housekeeping people play a crucial role in attracting the people

to opt the hospital. Pharmacist is the one who delivers the prescribed medicines given by the

physician, the more pro active they are the more willingness to buy the medicines from

within the premises. Next comes the Departmental manager, who looks after the departments,

its functions and the procedures to be followed. He is the person who is responsible for all

activities to be carried for attaining the objectives.

CONCEPT OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Recruitment: -
Towards the growth of an organization in this competitive business world every one
needs the effective & resultant Manpower. Manpower is the utmost important and therefore
requires sound Recruitment & Selection process.

Recruitment is the process concerned with the identification of sources from where
the personnel can be employed and motivating them to offer themselves for employment.

DEFINITIONS

Werther and Davis have defined Recruitment as follows:

• “Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for
employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their
applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new
employees are selected”.
Lord has defined Recruitment in terms of its competitive nature. He views that:
• “Recruitment is a form of competition. Just as corporations compete to develop,
manufacture, and market the best product or service, so they must also compete to
identify, attract and hire the most qualified people. Recruitment is business, and it is a
big business”.

Thus, recruitment process is concerned with the identification of possible sources of

human resource supply and tapping those sources. In the total process of acquiring and
placing human resources in the organization, recruitment falls in between different sub
processes as shown in Figure.

Recruitment and Selection differ in terms of objective, process, technique, and
outcome, which are as follows:

Yoder

nt
 1. The basic objective of recruitment is to attract maximum number of candidates so that
more options are available. The basic objective of selection is to choose the best out
of the available candidates.

2. Recruitment differs from selection in terms of process. Recruitment adopts the

process of creating application pool as large as possible and, therefore, it is known as
positive process. Selection adopts the process through which more and more
candidates are rejected and fewer candidates are selected or sometimes even not a
single candidate is selected. Therefore, it is known as negative process or rejection
process.

3. There is difference between recruitment and selection so far as techniques involved

are concerned. Recruitment techniques are not very intensive, requiring high skills. As
against this, in selection process, highly specialized technique s re required.
Therefore, in the selection process, only personnel with specific skills like expertise in
using selection tests, conducting interviews, etc., are involved.

4. Since recruitment and selection are two interrelated steps in the process manpower
acquisition, they differ in terms of their outcome. The outcome of recruitment is
application pool which becomes input for selection process. The outcome of selection
process is in the form of finalizing candidates who will be offered jobs.

Objectives of Recruitment:
• To attract people with multi-dimensional skills and experiences that suits the present
and future organizational strategies.

• To induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the company.

• To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization.

• To develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company.

• To search or head hunt people whose skills fit the company’s values.

• To devise methodologies for assessing psychological traits.

• To seek out non-conventional development grounds of talent.

• To search for talent globally and not just within the company.

• To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum.

• To anticipate and find people for positions that does not exist yet.

Sub-systems of Recruitment:
The recruitment consists of the following sub-functions

• Finding out and developing the sources where the required number and kind of
employees will be available.

• Developing suitable techniques to attract the desirable candidates

• Employing the techniques to attract candidates.

• Stimulating as many candidates as possible and asking them to apply for jobs
irrespective of number of candidates required.

Management has to attract more candidates in order to increase selection ratio (i.e.
number of applications per one job vacancy) in order to select the most suitable candidates
out of the total candidates. Recruitment is positive as it aims at increasing the number of
applicants and selection is somewhat negative as it selects the suitable candidates in which
process the unsuitable are automatically eliminated. Though, the function of recruitment
seems to be easy, a number of factors make performance of recruitment a complex one.

Factors Affecting Recruitment:

Both internal and external factors affect recruitment. The external factors include
supply of and demand for human resources, employment opportunities and/or unemployment
rate, labor market conditions, political, legal requirement and government policies, social
factors, information systems etc.

The internal factors include the company’s pay package including salary, fringe
benefits and incentives, quality of work life, organizational culture, career planning and
growth opportunities, size of the company, company’s product/services, geographical spread
of the company’s operations viz., local, national or global, company’s growth rate, Role of
Trade Unions and cost of recruitment.

Complexity of the Function of Recruitment:

Performing the function of recruitment i.e. increasing the selection ratio is not as easy
as it seems to be. This is because of the hurdles created by the internal factors and external
factors which influence an organization.

The first activity of recruitment i.e. searching for prospective employees is affected by many
factors like

1. Organizational policy regarding filling up of certain percentage of vacancies by

internal candidates.
 2. Local candidates (sons of soil).
3. Influence of trade unions.
4. Government regulations regarding reservations of certain number of vacancies to
candidate based on community/region/caste/sex.

5. Influence of recommendations, nepotism etc. As such, the management is not free to

find out or develop the source of desirable candidates and alternatively it has to divert
its energies for developing the sources within the limits of those factors though it
cannot find suitable candidates for the jobs.

The other activity of recruitment is consequently affected by the internal factors such as:

1. Working conditions and

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:

• Personnel policies and practices of various organizations regarding working
conditions, salary, benefits, promotional opportunities, employee relations etc.,

• Career opportunities in other organizations.

• Government regulations.

The degree of complexity of recruitment function can be minimized by formulating sound

policies. A few progressive companies in India like Larsen & Turbo, Hindustan Lever,
Procter & Gamble and a few others have exemplary policies of recruitment which even
International companies are trying to emulate.

SOURCES OF MANPOWER SUPPLY:

 Normally, an organization can fill up its vacancies either through promotion of people
available in the organization or through the selection of people from outside. Thus, there can
be two sources of supply of manpower – external and internal. For all recruitment, a
preliminary question of policy considers the extent to which it will emphasize external and
internal sources.

Selection of particular source of manpower supply depends on several factors

enumerated below:

Advertisement:

Advertisement is the most effective means to search potential employees from outside
the organization. Employment advertisement in journals, newspapers, bulletins, etc., is quite
common in our country. An advertisement contains brief statement of the nature of jobs, the
type of people required, and procedure for applying for these jobs.

Employment agencies:

Many organizations get the information about the prospective candidates through
employment agencies. In our country, two types of employment agencies are operating:
public employment agencies and private employment agencies.

• Public employment Agencies: There are employment exchanges run by the

government almost in all districts. The job seekers get themselves registered with
these exchanges
• Private employment Agencies: There are many consultancy and employment
agencies like ABC consultants, A.F.Furguson and Company, Personnel and
Productivity Services, S.B.Bilimoria and Company, etc., which provide employment
services particularly for selecting higher level and middle level executives. These
agencies also undertake total functions of recruiting and selecting personnel on behalf
various organizations. They charge fees for this purpose.

On Campus Recruitment:
 Many organizations conduct preliminary search of prospective employees by
conducting interviews at the campuses of various institutes, universities, and colleges. The
organizations hold preliminary interviews on the campus on the predetermined date and
candidates found suitable are called for further interviews at specified places.

Employee Recommendations:

Employee recommendations can be considered to employ personnel particularly at the

lower levels. The idea behind employee recommendations as a source of potential applicants
is that the present employees may have specific knowledge of the individuals who may be
their friends, relatives, or acquaintances.

Lab our Unions:

In many organizations, lab our unions are used as source of manpower supply, though
at the lower levels. Many such union leaders whose styles are cooperative and constructive
can be promoted to supervisory level.

Data Banks:
The Management can collect the bio-data of the candidates from different sources like
Employment Exchange, educational Training Institutes, candidates etc, and feed them in the
computer. It will become another source and the company can get the particulars as and when
it needs to recruit.

Similar Organizations:
Generally, experienced candidates are available in organizations producing similar

products or engaged in similar business. The management can get most suitable candidates

from this source. This would be the most effective source for executive positions and for

newly established organization or diversified or expended organizations.

Trade Unions:
 Generally, unemployed or underemployed persons or employees seeking change in

employment put a word to the trade union leaders with a view to getting suitable employment

due to latter’s intimacy with management. As such the trade union leaders are aware of the

availability of candidates. In view of this fact and in order to satisfy the trade union leaders,

management enquires with trade unions for suitable candidates. Management decides about

the sources depending upon the type of candidates needed, time lapse period, etc. It has to

select the recruitment technique(s) after deciding upon source.

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION PROCESS:

RECRUITMENT – Placing the RIGHT PERSON in RIGHT PLACE at RIGHT TIME.

In the earliest stages of an intervention, recruitment decisions often get made on the
basis of who is standing in the right place at the right time with the right look on his/her face.
As the situation matures, we have to think more carefully about picking the right people for
longer-term roles including middle and senior management. The integrity of the recruitment
and selection process helps to ensure sustainability by building a strong and balanced team,
demonstrating the organization’s neutrality, promoting its good name and serving as an
example for partners. You may find that one of the first roles you need to fulfill is a HR
administrator to help achieve these goals.
Now, Let us see a little more in detail how this process can be divided into stages and
how best to execute the process:

The Recruitment Process: Stages

The recruitment process begins when you know you need someone new in the School
or Department, either because an existing staff member has left, or because there is new work
to be done. It doesn't finish until after the appointment has been made and you have reflected
on any changes that you would make in future recruitments.
The main stages are identified below
Recruitment Activities:
• Identify Vacancy
• Prepare Job Description and person Specification
• Advertisement
• Managing the Response
• Short-listing
• References
• Arrange Interviews
• Conduct the Interview
• Decision Making
• Convey the Decision
• Appointment Action

Vacancy is known in two situations (generally):

1. An employee leaves and there is a vacancy created
2. Business Growth
The vacancy is intimated to the HR department by the concerned technical department.

Writing a Job Description:

A job description provides the employing organization, potential applicants and the
eventual post holder with a clear outline of what is required in the job.

Person specification:
Decide what skills, experience, qualifications and attributes someone will need to do
the job as defined in the task analysis and job description.

A job description should specify:

Title: The title of the post

Grade: The grade, which is attached to the post.
Purpose or aim: A brief description of the purpose of the job. This can probably be
limited to one sentence.
Duties: Start with the elements, which take up most of the post holder's time. It may be
helpful to distinguish between regular, intermittent, and emergency duties, and/or to assign an
approximate percentage of time to each specific duty.
The job description should not include details of how the tasks or activities should be
carried out, but some indication should be given, where appropriate, of the purpose or
objectives of the task.
It is important to make clear those tasks or activities for which the post holder has
ultimate responsibility. These should be clearly distinguished from those tasks and activities
in which the post holder has involvement but not responsibility. In order to avoid
misunderstanding of the post holder, it is suggested that the words "Responsible for" are used
with care and only where responsibility does rest with that post holder.
For example: A typist might be considered to be responsible for the accuracy of the typing
of a document whereas the author of the document is responsible for its content.
In view of the need to provide flexibility and to take into account future developments
(especially if the job description is part of the contract of employment), it is advisable to
specify as the last itemized duty 'such other comparable duties as may be required by the
Head of Department'.

Selection:

Select your candidate being objective and unbiased. Choose the person who best fits your
person specification.
• Short listing:
Review applications on the basis of the person specification. Ensure that you select
for interview those who match the specifications, regardless of sex, race etc, and that the
specifications are not themselves discriminatory.
• Interviews:

Interview your short-listed candidates remembering that your job is not only to assess
the best candidate for the job, but also to create a great impression of your
organization.
Candidate assessments: –

• The interview will provide you with some information but check it out before offering
a job.
• Ask the candidate to show you examples of previous work, do a presentation, a case
study, some tests or full assessment. Tests can be done before the interview or after
the interview. It depends on the number of candidates being interviewed and the type
of job.
• You must have the specific permission of the applicant to do so, particularly if you
wish to contact their current employer. If you need them quickly, try phoning.

Making a Job Offer:

• If you think you have found the right candidate, it’s time make the job-offer.
Induction:
• Help your new recruit to settle in quickly and become productive as soon as possible.

SELECTION PROCESS:
A selection process involves a number of steps. The basic idea is to solicit maximum
possible information about the candidates to ascertain their suitability for employment. Since
the type of information required for various positions may vary.
1. Screening of Applications:
Prospective employees have to fill up some sort of application forms. These forms
have variety about the applicants like their personal bio-data, achievements, experience, etc.
Such information is used to screen the applicants who are found to be qualified for the
consideration of employment. Based on the screening of applications, only those candidates
are called for further process of selection.

2. Selection Tests:
Many organizations hold different kinds of selection tests to know more about the
candidates or to reject the candidates who cannot be called for interview, etc. Selection tests
may give information about their aptitude, interest, personality, etc., which cannot be known
by the application forms.

3. Interview:
Selection testes are normally followed by personal interview of the candidates. The
basic idea here is to find out overall suitability of candidates for the jobs. It also provides
opportunity to give relevant information about the organization to the candidates. In many
cases, interview of preliminary nature can be conducted before the selection tests. For
example, in the case of campus selection, preliminary interview is held for short listing the
candidates for further process of selection.
Role of interview:
1. It is the only method of direct contact between the candidates and the employer in
which the employer can see a candidate in action- how he looks, his manner, his
wearing, his appearance, etc., method of interaction and answering, etc.

2. Many of the information can be sought through the interview, which may not be
available in application form, or cannot be disclosed by the selection tests, such as
family background, future plans, etc.

3. The interview can be used as a tool for giving information about the organization, its
policies, nature of the work to be performed by the candidate, salary and other
benefits to be offered. Negotiations, if any, about the salary and perks to be offered to
the candidate can also be undertaken.

Checking of References:
Many organizations ask the candidates to provide the names of referees from more
information about the candidates can be solicited. Such information may be related to
character, working, etc.

PLACEMENT AND INDUCTION:

After a candidate is selected for employment, he is placed on the job. Initially, the
placement may be on probation, the period of which may range from six months to two years.
After successful completion of the probation period, the candidate may be offered permanent
employment. After the initial placement of the candidate on the job, his induction is
necessary. Induction is a technique by which a new employee is rehabilitated into the
changed surroundings and introduced to the purposes, policies and practices of the
organization, employee’s job and working conditions, salary, perks, etc.

Every organization has some sort of induction programme either formally or

informally. In large organizations where there are well-developed personnel functions, often
induction programs are undertaken on formal basis, usually through the personnel
department. In smaller organizations, this may be done by the immediate superior of the new
employee.
