Preface
Industrial training is one of the most components in the fulfillment of any professional course conducted at any level and at any college. The main purpose of the training program is to expose the trainees to the practical experience of the actual industrial conditions in which they are required to work in future. The lectures help us to know the theoretical concept of the processes being followed at the industrial level and the tools being used to conduct that processes but we would get the complete knowledge of the process only if we have a chance to witness the process, study it and if possible being able to conduct that process if authorities allow us to do so. Thus emerges the need of industrial training.

3. INTRODUCTION Of RECRUITMENT & PROMOTION


Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitable arrangements for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for the jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected. A formal definition states, belt is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new
[20]

recruits are sought and ends when their applicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. In this, the available vacancies are given wide publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection. Recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement, employment exchanges, internal promotion, encore used. In the recruitment, a, pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees Definition: According to EDWIN FLIPPO, ''Recruitment is the process of searching for k- prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. '' 1.1 NEED FOR RECRUITMENT The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situation: a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability, death and labour turnovers b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification! Of business activities of an enterprise/. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job specification. Purpose and importance of Recruitment: 1. Determine the present and future requirements of the organizations on conjunction with its personnel-planning and job analysis activities. Bib 2. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibly under qualified or overqualified job applicants. 4. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave the organization only after a short period of time.
[21]

5. Meet the organization's legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its. Work force. 6. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates. 7. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and long term. 8. Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques aid sources. Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs available in the organization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit applications for the purpose of selection. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decided whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and well-managed recruiting effort will result in high quality applicants, whereas, a haphazard and piecemeal efforts will result in mediocre Ones . Unscientific Recruitment and Selection: Previously, the selection of candidates beliefs, personal prejudices of selection of the staff. The net result of such unscientific recruitment and selection are: was influenced by superstitions, looking after 'the recruitment and Selection of the staff. (a) Low productivity of labour. (b) High turnover . (c) Excessive wastage of raw materials . (d) More accidents and corresponding loss to the organization . (e) Inefficient working of the whole organization and finally (f) Ineffective executive's training and management development programs.
[22]

Scientific recruitment The importance of recruitment and selection of staff is now accepted in the business world. Selection is important as it has its impact on work' performance and employee cost. As result scientific methods of recruitment and selection are extensively for the selection of managers and the supervisory staff. The assistance of experts such as industrial psychologist and management consultants are also taken for the purpose of scientific selection. As a result, the objective of upright man for the right job'' is achieved in many organizations. , Moreover, tonight job'' is the basic principle in manpower procurement.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to build a pool of qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated stages vise; 1. Planning. 2. Strategy development. 3. Searching. 4. Screening. 5. Evaluation and control. The ideal recruitment programme is the one that attracts a relatively larger number of qualified applicants who will survive the screening process and accept positions with the organization, when offered. Recruitment programmes can miss the ideal in many ways ice. by failing to attract an adequate applicant pool, by under/over selling the organization or by inadequate screening applicants before they enter the selection process. Thus, to approach the ideal, individuals
[23]

responsible for the recruitment process must know how many and what types of employees are needed, where and how to look for the individuals with the appropriate qualifications and interests, what inducement to use for various types of applicants groups, how to distinguish applicants who are qualified from those who have a reasonable chance of success and how to evaluate their work. STAGE 1: RECRUITMEN-T PLANNING: The first stage in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves the translation of likely job vacancies and information about the nature of these jobs into set of objectives or targets that specify the ( 1) Numbers and (2) Types of applicants to be contacted. Numbers of contact: Organization, nearly always, plan to attract more applicants than they will hire.Some of those contacted will be uninterested, unqualified or both. Each time a recruitment Programme is contemplated, one task is to estimate the number of applicants necessary to fill all vacancies with the qualified people. Types of contacts: It is basically concerned with the types of people to be informed about job openings. The type of people depends on the tasks and responsibilities involved and the qualifications and experience expected. These details are available through job description and job specification.

STAGE 2: STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT:


When it is estimated that that types of recruitment and how many are required then one has concentrate in (1). Make or Buy employees. (2).Technological sophistication of recruitment and selection devices. (3).Geographical distribution of labour markets comprising job seekers.
[24]

(4).Sources of recruitment. (5). Sequencing the activities in the recruitment process. Makes or Buy : Organization must decide whether to hire le skilled employees and invest on training and education programmes, or they can hire skilled labour and professional. Essentially, this is 'the makes or buys decision. Organizations, which hire skilled and professionals shall have to pay more for these employees. Technological Sophistication: The second decision in strategy development relates to the methods used in recruitment and selection. This decision is mainly influenced by the available technology. The advent of computers has made it possible for employers to scan national and international applicant qualification. Although impersonal, computers have given employers and ob seekers a wider scope of options in the initial screening stage. Where to look: In order to reduce the costs, organizations look in to labour markets most likely to offer the required job seekers. Generally, companies look in to the national market for managerial and professional employees, regional or local markets for technical employees and local markets for the clerical and blue- collar employees. When to look: An effective recruiting strategy must determine when to look-decide on the timings of events besides knowing where and how to look for job applicants.

S TAGE 3 :
SEARCHNG: Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin. Search involves two steps (A). Source activation and
[25]

(B). Selling. A). SOURCE ACTIVATION: Typically, sources and search methods are activated by the issuance of an employee requisition. This means that no actual recruiting takes place until lone managers have verified that vacancy does exist or will exist. If the organization has planned well and done a good job of developing its sources and search methods, activation soon results in a flood of applications and/or resumes. The application received must be screened. Those who pass have to be contacted and invited for interview. Unsuccessful applicants must be sent letter of regret. B). SELLING: A second issue to be addressed in the searching process concerns communications. Here, organization walks tightrope. On one hand, they want to do whatever they can to attract desirable applicants. On the other hand, they must resist the temptation of overselling their virtues. In selling the organization, both the message and the media deserve attention. Message refers to the employment advertisement. With regards to media, it may be stated that effectiveness of any recruiting message depends on the media. Media are several-some have low credibility, while others enjoy high credibility. Selection of 'medium or media needs to be done with a lot of care.

S TAGE 4 :
SCREENING: Screening of applicants can be regarded as an integral part of the recruiting process, though many view it as the first step in the selection process. Even the definition on recruitment, we quoted in the beginning of this chapter, excludes screening from its scope. However, we have included screening in recruitment for valid reasons. The selection process will begin after the applications have been scrutinized and short-listed. Hiring of professors in a university is a typical situation. 'Application received in response to advertisements is screened and only eligible applicants are called for an interview. A selection
[26]

committee comprising the Vice-chancellor, Registrar and subject experts conducts interview. Here, the recruitment process extends up to screening the applications. The selection process commences only later. Purpose of screening The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment process, at an early stage, those applicants who are visibly unqualified. 16 Effective screening can save a great deal of time and money. Care must be exercised, however, to assure that potentially good employees. are not rejected without justification. In screening, clear job specifications are invaluable. It is both good tactile and a legal necessity that applicant's qualification is judged on the P basis of their knowledge, skills, abilities and interest required to do the job. The techniques used to screen applicants vary depending on the candidate sources and recruiting methods used. Interview and application blanks may be used to screen walk-ins. Campus recruiters and agency representatives use interviews and resumes. Reference checks are also useful in screening.

STAGES:5
EVALUATION AND CONTROL: Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred in the recruitment process. The costs generally incurred are: 1. Salaries for recruiters. 2. Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job specifications, advertisements, agency liaison and so forth. 3. The cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods, that is, agency fees. 4. Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses. 5. Costs of overtime and outsmarting while the vacancies remain unfilled.
[27]

6. Cost of recruiting unsuitable candidates for the selection process.

1.3 EVALUATION OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS


'The recruitment has the objective of searching for and obtaining applications for job seekers in sufficient number and quality. Keeping this objective in the mind, the evaluation might include: 1. Return rate of application sent out. 2. Number of suitable candidates for selection's 3. Retention and performance of the candidates selected. 4. Cost of the recruitment process 5. Time lapsed data 6. Comments on image projected.

Internal Recruitment Sources


Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within the company. The various internal sources include: Promotions and Transfers Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel records. Job posting requires notifying vacant positions by posting notices, circulating publications or announcing at staff meetings and inviting employees to apply. Personnel records help discover employees who are doing jobs below their educational qualifications or skill levels.

5. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
As related to the Recruitment of the employee various authors have expressed their views regarding training success and undertaking in and outside the company, few of them listed are: Recruitment is concerned with developing suitable techniques for attracting more and more candidates. Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization. When more persons apply for jobs then there will be a
[51]

scope for recruiting better persons. The job seekers too, on the other hand, are in search of organization offering them employment. Recruitment is a linkage activity bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. Many see recruitment and selection as the most important component of the staffing model. Obviously, the fright persona must be selected to achieve high levels of productivity, but how the selection is made also is important, if for no other reason than to meet legal and ethical requirements of institutional policy such as fundamental fairness and affirmative action. One of the central findings of the literature review conducted by Winston and Cremer (1997, p. 128) was that the most successful student service programs tend to be those where the managers select, hire, and retain competent and caring individual's Recruitment and Promotion literature in student affairs often addresses standards of admission the (Stnmatakos, 1981) and entry-level competencies and skills (Hyman, 1988; Ostroth, 1981). Hiring particular types of staff members, such as paraprofessionals (Winston & Ender, 1988), mid-level managers (Gordon, Borders Strode, & Mnnn, 1993; Saunders & Cooper, 199%, minorities (Sagaria & Johnsrud, 1991), and executive-level managers (Haro, 1991) also is common in recruitment and selection literature. Sims and Foxley (1980) contribute significantly to this literature by pointing to the role of institutional systems in the process and by suggesting that the precepts of the processes should be based on development (the historic foundation of the field). The recruitment and selection process is a complex system of interdependent processes that begins with determining the need and establishing the purpose of the position. This process should include a careful position analysis, a step often assumed but not taken that leads to hiring someone, but maybe not the right person, which is, of course, a key to successful staffing practices (Raetz, 2001). Based on a carefully conducted position analysis, a position description is then prepared that accurately and completely describes position responsibilities, necessary qualifications of candidates, and any unusual or unique aspects of the position or the institution.
