STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVE

This project entitled Recruitment and Selection in Dabur India Ltd (DIL) is aimed
at studying the recruitment and selection procedures at DIL. Recruitment and
selection procedures of any organisation are very important functions because these
decide the most suitable manpower which steers the industry to its desired goals.

OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of this project are:

 To study the Recruitment and Selections procedures used at DIL.


 To analyze the effectiveness of this very important function in terms of
development of the organisation and the individual.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As in case of any other functional area like marketing, production or finance, the

work personnel department has also to be planned. Planning in the personnel area is

mainly concerned with crystallizing from where the right type of people can be

secured for future anticipated vacancies.

Manpower planning is the process by which management determines how the

organization should move from its current manpower position to its desired

manpower position. Through planning, management strives to have the right number

and the right kinds of people, at the right places, at the right time, doing things,

which result in the growth and success of both- the organization and the individual.

The manpower planning is one of the basic steps in the recruitment and selection

procedure.

Recruitment and Selection is the process wherein the organisation finds the best

candidate among the vast array of candidates. The function that locates the sources

where from the required human resources can be available and to attract them

towards the organisation is known as recruitment.

Selection can be defined as the process wherein the organisation has to select a
small lot of people who are useful to the organisation in terms of their capabilities

and their qualifications. The main aim of organisation at this stage is to have a well-

equipped manpower efficient enough to handle all the tasks gracefully.

This project entitled "Recruitment and Selection in Dabur India Ltd (DIL)"

aims at studying the recruitment and selection procedure undertaken at this ever

growing organisation. The project gives a brief idea as to how the whole process

works. Every organisation has different policies, at times unique and it is very rare

that the policy of one organisation matches to the policies of another organisation.

It is true that the success of any organisation depends upon the old dictum: right

person for the right job. At the same time it is all the more important to have right

and tested combination of recruitment and selection policies to attract, select and

appoint a desired lot and replenish it from time to time. The transformation from a

family concern to FMCG industry has tested the recruitment and selection policies

and the organisation. The sustainability and success of this living legend over

hundred years has proved that the strategies adopted by this multinational are true to

its needs and requirement. DIL has a strong work force of 2,500 employees.

DIL has succeeded over hundred years because it still follows the basic dictum

and is being guided by the vision and the age-old the principles which are followed
religiously.

BRINGING UP DABUR

the Indian customers. It fulfills all their requirements while assuring the quality

product. Asking about the name of the five largest FMCG companies in India one is

likely to dash of one of that own desi -sounding brands like Chyawanprash, Vatika,

Hajmola etc. This is the stand of Dabur that it has acquired over the years. Dabur

India Ltd. is the India's fourth largest FMCG Company, having a turnover in fiscal

2000-01 at Rs.1,167 Crores, ahead of big and mighty multinationals such as Proctor

(FPD), accounting for 40 percent, and secondly, Health Care Division (HCD),

which accounts for 30 per cent. FPD is Dabur's biggest, having the biggest product

-Dabur Amla Hair Oil, and a brand of Rs.160 Crores in fiscal 1999-2000.The

strategies in the hair care market emphasis brand extension. It plans to launch two

new products, Amla light and Vatika light over the next few months.

A separate company, Dabur Foods, looks after food products such as real fruit juice

and homemade of pastes. Dabur sees a lot of potential in the "real" brand-currently

Rs.30 crores brand, which claims 3 per cent market share.

Two another divisions of Dabur, Ayurvedic specialties, and Pharmaceuticals,

constitute 8 per cent and 7 per cent respectively of its turnover.

The Pharmaceuticals division is internally considered of great promise with the

potential of producing safe medicines much required by mankind. Its most

promising product is anti-cancer drug, Intaxel, which is prepared of ingredients

from the Himalayan Yew Tree.

Dabur Amla, which is derived from vegetables and minerals, has an 80 per cent

market share in the heavy perfume hair oil segment. The other leading brand in the

RECRUITMENT AND
SELECTION-
AN INTRODUCTION

RECRUITMENT
Recruitment and selection are the most important functions in an organisation

because with the help of these functions the management selects the best available

candidate from a batch of them. The organisations, in this growing competitive

world, need to have the best of the manpower so as to have an edge over its

competitives.

According to Flippo, "Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective

employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an

organisation."

In the words of Yoder,"Recrutiment is a process to discover the sources of

manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective

measured for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective

selection of an efficient working force."

The recruitment needs can be classified into-

• Planned.

• Anticipated.

• Unexpected.
Planned need arise from changes in the organisation and retirement policy. These

occur due the expected changes in the organisation so the management can make a

proper policy for it.

Anticipated need refer to the movements in personnel which an organisation can

predict by studying the trends in the internal and external environments.

Resignations, deaths, accidents and illness result in to the unexpected needs.

FEATURES:

• Recruitment is a process or a series of activities rather than a single

event.

• It is a linking activity as it brings together the employers and

employees.

• It is positive process because in this activity the employers want to have

the maximum number of job seekers so as to have a wider scope for

choice ultimately leading in spotting right persons for job.

• It is an important function as it makes it possible to acquire the number

and type of persons required for the effective functioning of the


organisation.

• It is an on going function in all the organisations, but the volume and

nature of recruitment varies with the size, nature and environment of the

organisation.

• It is a complex process because a number of factors affect it --the

nature of the job offered, image of the organisation, organisational

policies, working conditions etc.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:

The various sources of recruitment are -

• Internal Sources: Include-

 Present Employees who can be transferred or given promotions.

 The retired and retrenched employees who want to return to the

company.

 Dependents and relatives of the deceased and disabled employees.

• External Sources: Consist of-

 Press advertisements.
 Campus Interviews.

 Placement Agencies.

 Recommendations.

 Recruitment at factory gate.

 Employment Exchanges.

During my short stint at DIL, it was observed that the recruitment need of DIL is

diversified. It needs persons who have knowledge of use, processing of natural

ingredients of number of varied products, technical know-how of latest industrial

technical knowledge, and computer applications to pharmaceutical industry to

manual workers. The importance of the process could be understood that the

present work force of DIL is 2,500 employees. Hence, the recruitment and

selection procedure should match the complexities of the need and at the same

should commensurate with the complex need of the organisation.

SELECTION
Selection is the process of choosing the best candidate out of the all the applicants.

In this process, relevant information about the applicants is collected through a

series of steps so as to evaluate their suitability for the job to be filled.

It is the process of matching the qualifications with those required for the job so that

the candidate can be entrusted with the task that matches with his credibility.

It is a process of weeding out unsuitable candidates and finally identifying the most

suitable candidates.

This process divides the candidates into two categories-the suitable ones and the

unsuitable ones. The suitable people prove to be the asset for the organisation.

Selection is a negative process because in this process the management tries to

minimise the number of people at each step so that the final decision can be in the

light of all the factors and at the end of it best candidate is selected. Selected

candidate the has to pass through the following stages-

• Preliminary Interview.

• Application Form.

• Selection Test.

• Selection Interview.

• Physical Examination.
• Reference Check.

• Final Approval.

• Employment.

Preliminary Interview is the initial screening done to weed out the undesirable

candidates. This is mainly a sorting process in which the prospective candidates are

given the necessary information about the nature of the job and the organisation.

Necessary information about the candidate is also taken. If the candidate is found

suitable then he is selected for further screening else he is dropped. This stage saves

the time and effort of both the company and the candidate. It avoids unnecessary

waiting for the candidate and waste of money for further processing of an unsuitable

candidate.

Application Form is a traditional and widely used device for collecting information

from candidates. This form asks the candidates to fill up the necessary information

regarding their basic information like name, address, references, date of birth,

marital status, educational qualifications, experience, salary structure in previous

organisation and other such information. This form is of great help because the

scrutiny of this form helps to weed out candidate who are lacking in education,

experience or any other criterion provided by the organisation. It also helps in

formulation of questions, which will be asked in the interview. These forms can also

be stored for future references thus maintaining a databank of the applicants.


Selection Tests are being increasingly used in employee selection. Tests are sample

of some aspect of an individual's attitudes, behaviour and performance. It also

provides a systematic basis for comparing two or more persons. The tests help to

reduce bias in selection by serving as a supplementary screening device. These are

also helpful in better matching of candidate and the job. These reveal the

qualifications, which remain covered in application form and interview.

Selection Interview involves the interaction of the employer and the employee.

Selection involves a personal, observational and face-to-face appraisal of candidates

for employment. It is an essential element of the selection procedure. The

information obtained through application form and test can be crosschecked in the

interview.

The applicants who have crossed the above stages have to go through Physical

Examination either by the company's physician or the medical officer approved for

the purpose. The main aim is to ensure that the candidate is physically fit to perform

the job. Those who are found physically unfit are rejected.

The next stage marks of checking the references. The applicant is asked to mention

in his application form the names and addresses of two or three person who know

him well. The organisation contacts them by mail or telephone. They are requested

to provide their frank opinion about the candidate without incurring any
liability. The opinion of the references can be useful in judging the future behaviour

and performance of a candidate.

The executives of the concerned departments then finally approve the candidates

short-listed by the human resource department. Employment is offered in the form

of an appointment letter mentioning the post, the rank, the salary grade, the date by

which the candidate should join and other terms and conditions in brief.

Appointment is generally made on a probation of one or two years. After

satisfactory performance during this period the candidate is finally confirmed in the

job on permanent basis or regularized.

Selection is an important function as no organisation can achieve its goals without

selecting right persons for the required job. Faulty selection leads to wastage of time

and money and spoils the environment of an organisation. Scientific selection and

placement of personnel can go a long way in building up a stable workforce. It helps

to reduce absenteeism and labour turnover. Proper selection is helpful in increasing

the efficiency and productivity of the enterprise.


RECRUITMENT AND
SELECTION PROCEDURE
IN
DABUR INDIA Ltd.

Dabur India Ltd. selects the future employees keeping everything in mind right from

the qualification of the employees to the future prospects-both of the organisation

and the employees.


The first step involves the filling up of Manpower Indent Form. This form is filled

up by the department, which is having the vacancy. The form consists of various

questions which are to be answered like if the current vacancy is a replacement

vacancy, its reason is to be specified -the factors which resulted it like death,

retirement etc.

The department is required to give the qualifications that the future candidate should

possess.

In the next step, this form is given to the Human Resource (HR) department; this

department sees if the position can be filled through internal sources. The internal

sources can be transfers, promotion etc. In the case of internal sources, the

recommendations of the employees are not taken into consideration. If the HR

department does not find suitable candidate within the organisation then this

department has to give reasons for it. The form then goes to the Corporate HR for its

approval.

When the suitable candidate is not available within the organisation, the

organisation then moves to the outside world for filling up the vacancies.

If the number of employees required is large then the company has in its

consideration three ways-

• The Data bank of the organisation.


• Advertisements.

• Contacting large consultants.

The company maintains a databank of the candidates, which is used when the

number of vacancies to be filled up is large. The sources of databank can be the

qualified candidates who had applied in the organisation earlier but due to some

reasons could not join the organisation.

Advertisements are the second big source to attract the candidates. These are having

much larger scope and reach to a number of people. The qualifications required by

the organisation and the criteria could be described in detail.

Large number of consultants also constitutes a big source. Many people register

themselves with these consultants and they act as a bridge between the organisation

and the candidates. The consultants provide the company required details about all

criteria. These consultants are fixed for the organisation, which are chosen on the

basis of their performance. In case of overseas recruitment it is checked whether

their Indian counterparts can perform the job efficiently or not. If need arises then

they are also taken through consultants.

But if the number of vacancies is very small then the organisation takes the help

of the local consultants.

The candidates are then required to fill up the Application Form. This form
requires the candidate to fill the details regarding the previous employment, if any

and his personal data. The form is having details regarding like the marital status,

organisation structure, the position held by the candidate, his salary structure, the

top three deliveries to the organisation that proved to be beneficial to the

organisation, career goals, his strengths and weaknesses etc.

After the application form has been duly filled and submitted, the selection

process starts wherein the candidate has to pass through various stages and

interview. The interview panel consists of the persons from Corporate (HR), and

other persons including the executives from the department for which the vacancy is

to be filled.

The selected candidates are then short-listed. The short listed candidates are

then given priority numbers; this is due to the reason that sometimes the candidate

who is having first priority is unable to join the organisation due to some reasons

then in that case the candidate next in the priority list is given preference.

The candidate has to under go medical examination and his credentials are

verified.
After qualifying these stages, the candidate is then absorbed in the organisation

and explained his/her duties. This phase marks the end of the selection procedure.

Dabur India Ltd.also performs Campus interviews as and when the need arises.

The esteemed organisation also provides apprentice training-wherein the

organisation trains the people in the working of the organisation and gives then

stipend. If these trainees are found useful to the organisation then they are absorbed

in the organisation else they are given certificate so that they can show this as an

experience and get a job elsewhere.
