1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
It was early 2000 when India experienced a tangible transit from a manufacturing to a
service-dominated nation. There was a gradual shift from Job-hunting by individuals to
mass recruitment by employers. This happened due to emergence of IT and ITES. Our
manpower had an edge due to which we became a global outsource destination, the factors
being largest English speaking nation primarily and low cost of operations too played an
important role. The impact on country economics was so high, which boosted financial
sector, as there was a scope of investments and savings beyond mere reducing the income
tax liability. This growth followed by increased consumerism in the country thus retail
sector along with food chain businesses mushroomed. In between overall growth one major
industry that emerged higher and higher with each sector growing was telecom sector and
aviation. Telecom sector grows with IT, ITES, Retail and Finance because all the sectors
require mass human capital, which requires higher person to person communication.
1.2 SCOPE OF HR CONSULTING INDUSTRY A PERSPECTIVE
There is a sizeable requirement of manpower in India and what is the current and future
scope of HR consulting Industry. Emergence of above sectors will clearly indicate huge
requirement of mass human capital with special respect to young and frontline manpower.
In some sectors like IT, ITES, Finance the human resource will be professionally qualified
and sectors like retail, telecom and vitiation may absorb less qualified manpower based on
skills and attitudes our young generation acquires. The wave on one hand will create a
demand of sizeable manpower requirement though on the other hand will increase the
demand and responsibility of HR consulting industry. There is an importance in refocusing
on the root cause of the growth and understand the negligence before we further define the
scope and prospects of HR consulting. Our growth started, with special respect to human
resource demand, with an emergence of IT and ITES and that we became an outsource
destination. The primary reason is that we are the largest English speaking nation in the
world. However we never focused on this issue earlier because we thought we will enjoy
monopoly forever, somehow we neglected CHINA factor, they being a non-English
speaking country. China raced ahead on many fronts because of productivity, now they are
training themselves to speak English and as per my information they are already number

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 3

two outsource destination and are ready to Challenge Indias monopoly as far as ITES is
concerned.
The challenge from skill enhancement point of view is to develop skills in our Human
resource, which confirm to the global thought process and attitudes and to develop Non-
English speaking and rural manpower on personal grooming and development. In future HR
consulting industry will be focusing on two major issues Attrition and Skill enhancement
(Training and Development). Attrition control and employee retention is a key issue
because of less availability of trained manpower. Organizations spend on the training of
their employees only to witness Job change for better prospects by their employees. I was
training at a leading technical support BPO in Noida where young engineers were on an
average 6 months old in the organization and it was quite normal for them as an average Job
change duration. Large companies and sectors, in most cases have annual recruitment plan
of 500 to 3000 people, not because of expansion only but major issue being attrition
makeup. HR industry has and will have a good scope of innovation in this area. Employee
attrition is the key issue wherever mass manpower is operating. We can clearly visualize a
huge scope for consultants to innovate and produce processes and methodologies for the
organizations to increase employee loyalty and retention. This can be done through growth
based compensation plans, performance based revenues but most effective tool will be an
assessment methodology of Individuals Job expectations and responsibility to their delight.
Nothing more can motivate individuals if they have a responsibility as per their strengths
and not weakness and they are empowered in a suitable open communication environment
and mentoring program. Mentoring and Empowerment of people as per their strengths
There is a strong need to innovate on the methodologies for attrition control and realize the
gap pertaining to training and development for the working human force and prepare them
to the best communicators and excellent attitude carriers and be unbeaten and indispensable
business executors.
1.3 INDIAN CONSULTING MARKET: THE FACTORS RESTRICTING GROWTH
The Indian Consulting Industry has been experiencing resurgence in the last few years. This
industry has been making rapid strides in the Indian market over the last decade and has
witnessed a significant increase in the number of new entrants in this field. The solitary
objective of the participants in this market has been to gain maximum market share in this
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 4

highly consolidated and competitive environment, primarily by capitalizing on the opposite
factors driving it.
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) consulting industry generated revenues worth $33.5 billion
approximately in the year 2008 and registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
nearly 4.1 percent from 2007. The market is further expected to experience steady growth
and is anticipated to generate revenues of approximately $39.2 billion by the end of 2012.
Japan has dominated the APAC market by contributing the maximum revenues with a share
of nearly 67.2 percent. Out of the APAC total market, Indias contribution stands at $1.81
billion approximately with a share of approximately 5.4 percent of the total APAC market
size. Information Technology (IT) including e-commerce, telecommunications and so on
followed by Corporate Strategy, Outsourcing Services, Human Resource Management, and
Operations Management have been some of the prominent business divisions in the
consulting market.
The necessity of moving ahead in the competitive structure or chain and gaining optimum
market share in todays highly competitive markets has made companies across verticals opt
for third-party consulting and advisory services. This has made consulting an indispensable
function for companies these days. The differentiating factor that each company puts
forward in order to achieve competitive edge over their rivals has been one of the important
factors of success for all the companies, specifically in the Indian market, and this is
impossible with out the knowledge of market trends and behaviors. Moreover, the fact that
this success can be achieved only by implementing the right strategies from time to time
and by taking pertinent decisions considering the market scenarios they cater to have
prompted companies to subscribe for the products and services offered by consulting firms.
The primary reason behind this urge is because consulting firms interact or are involved
with the all the market participants or industries participants on a regular basis and are very
well informed about the market happenings in each of the sectors. This continuous market
tracking service coupled with technical industry know-how facilitates consulting firms to
help clients take the right decision at the right time as well as relieve them from the
pressures like time-to-market a new product or production planning or in fact any
challenges in any business divisions. In a nutshell, need for the appropriate market facts, the
urge for companies to face the market trends by applying third party & unbiased thoughts,
the call for a complete 360 degree view of the market that each company participate in, and
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 5

the requirement to take apt decisions by companies to outpace competition are some of the
factors that drive the growth of this industry.
1.4 CHALLENGES FACED BY EMERGING & BOUTIQUE CONSULTING FIRMS
Acquiring the right set of talent challenges the firm in matching the clients requirements.
Providing meaningful insights with optimum clarity and offering strategic advisory
solutions on diverse subjects based on the analysis done are the two important aspects of
consulting. These are also the two essential factors that each company looks out from the
consulting firms. Even though, delivering all these factors together bind a consulting firms
success, this can only be achieved by having the right set of manpower and appropriate pool
of talent. Acquiring the right set of people to match every clients broad range of
requirements has been one of the challenges that smaller consulting firms in the Indian
market face. This challenge has resulted in a change in the trend of hiring manpower in
consulting organizations of late. Previously, consulting firms were primarily looking at
hiring specific industry expert or any individual market expert. Even though some firms
continue to sustain this model of hiring, most of the emerging firms in the country focus at
hiring individuals who are flexible and those who can analyze any market or industry at a
given period of time. This trend is expected to crystallize in a few years down the line. The
reason for the same is twofold. One, the firms can leverage on their mixed pool of talent and
assign any projects to any one individual or more and secondly, this facilitates the firm to
considerably cut costs of engaging a single market expert.
This factor is even more risky for smaller and boutique consulting firms compared to the
established ones, as they are much smaller in terms of their size, operations, and financial
capabilities. Although, these firms offer only niche market services compared to other
traditional firms, some of these boutique firms also face powerlessness to train their new
employees due to the lack of proper resources, which restrains the firms growth further.
Increasing rate of attrition affects the organizational growth: One other challenge that Indian
consulting firms, both established as well as emerging ones face is the increasing rate of
attrition. This can be associated with multiple reasons like the increasing growth
opportunities in the market for consultants, attractive compensation packages, or
correspondingly the cost cutting measures that companies adopt, and also on the cost-
benefit ratio from the companies stand-point although the latter is applied only during acute
market crisis. However, better remuneration packages on offer and better career prospects
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 6

available are the two most common factors that consultants give importance to. Apart from
these two factors, other common reasons range from dissatisfaction of their job role to the
simple reason of lack of post-graduate sponsorships available within the firms they work.
All together, a suitable work-life balance, greater leadership roles in front, with better
remuneration and benefits are some of the common factors which consultants expect in each
company and with consulting becoming more mainstream today, the rate of attrition in this
industry is expected to gradually slow down in a few years down the line. The impact of this
factor is comparatively low on established firms because they have the best set of
experienced consultants who can act as a back-up in case of an emergency situation.
However, the impact is pretty severe on smaller firms as they are small in size and
operations and also due the fact the time taken for smaller firms to replace a consultant with
a new one is longer compared to the bigger firms. The below table shows the common
reasons for attrition and what companies should do to retain talent:
Common reasons for attrition
Poor Pay
Better Organization Management

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 7

1) Maintaining long-term relationships with clients affects the long-term existence of
the firm:
Maintaining long-term relationships with existing clients is one other key challenge that
the small and emerging consulting firms face. This is largely due to the fact that the
Indian consulting market is more or less a buyers market. More than convincing the
companies to sign-up proposals, factors such as cost-benefit ratios, value added services
and so on play a pivotal role. Numerous market participants and increasing market
entrants with a variety of project deliverables have leveraged organizations by giving
them the option to choose the right consulting firm for the right price for a project.
However, this factor should be perceived on a different notion when it comes to a
proposal with bigger and established consulting firms who are the pioneers of this
Industry and who have proven success record in delivering results.
2) Highly competitive market influence firms in gaining market share:
Smaller and emerging firms also face the challenge of gaining market share. Regional
consulting firms have lesser market share compared to the bigger established firms who
always top the competitive chain, even in the Indian market. Likewise, global players
such as Bain & Co., McKinsey & Co., Boston Consulting Group and so on dominate the
market for strategy consulting with nearly three-fourth of the market share in their
hands, leaving the rest to the smaller and emerging firms. On a related note, most of the
above mentioned business divisions are being monopolized by the big guns there by
leaving very little scope for the smaller and emerging consulting firms. However, a
noticeable trend in the recent years is that the smaller and niche firms are gradually
taken seriously than the bigger ones. Of late, companies have started experimenting with
niche firms by working with them on smaller regional projects but at the same time
partner with the trusted bigger ones for the larger and other global projects. Nevertheless
choosing the right consulting firm largely depends on the bids or request for proposals
(RFP) that companies put forward and the proposals they receive from these consulting
firms. While attracting new clients will always be an easy task for the established
consulting firms due to their proven success and credibility, this factor acts as a major
barrier on emerging firms as developing and converting a relationship into a business
deal is comparatively tricky for these firms owing to their poor strategic alliances, lesser
corporate experience and so on.
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 8

3) Off shoring/Outsourcing to India acts as a challenge as well as driver:
Off shoring back-end functions to India has obviously been a market driver, not only for
the consulting industry but for the country as a whole. However, from a consulting
firms perspective, though this factor helps expansion and globalization, some
companies feel that it restrains the company development and growth in the outsourced
regions primarily because of cultural differences and other barriers related to work.
Professional dissimilarity, differences in attitude, adjusting to time zones, accents, and
differences in a persons commitment to work have been some of the factors that
American & European counterparts consider as challenges, when it comes to off shoring
work to India. And these are also some of the challenges that small and emerging
consulting firms in India face, due to which the company brand name and public
perception is most likely to be hampered. However, this can be overcome if the firm
acquires the right set of people, train them on flexibility and motivate them to work
better.
4) Market as a Challenge affects routine businesses:
One of the other challenging factors which impact consulting firms, smaller ones
especially is the volatile market conditions they experience. Even though this factor
affects both the established as well as smaller emerging firms, the former have the
capability to sustain and overcome the market downfall in a better efficient way due to
their long-term existence and familiarity of the market, than the latter. One such
situation to be quoted is the recent sub-prime crisis which more or less created a win-
win situation for both bigger and smaller firms with respect to acquiring new projects,
i.e., it created a situation where in the boutique firms could possibly capitalize on the
market conditions to win a project over the bigger ones, primarily because of their
reduced pricing and other cost saving offerings. However, a fact is that, such situations
are real good opportunities for the boutique firms to prove their capability and
credibility but in general most of the companies totter in such situations.
5) Threat of Substitutes impacts new business development:
Threat of substitutes is one other key challenge that smaller and boutique firms face.
Although the penetration rate of new entrants entering the market has been moderate for
now, companies still has a lot of options when it comes to the RFP process for projects.
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 9

Apart from the presence of big four consulting firms, there are numerous smaller and
emerging firms in India who are yet to prove their credibility and who offer services at a
reduced price compared to the others. Coupled with the reduced pricing, every new entrant
into this market is coming up with differentiated consulting models and methodologies for
attracting new businesses, and this again acts as a threat to the other firms. Existence of
numerous firms, differentiated offerings, reduced pricing and so on has impacted the
smaller firms in India by hampering the customer loyalty and also by making this market, a
highly price sensitive one.
1.5 CONCLUSION
Although, factors like globalization, off shoring and outsourcing have made India a suitable
destination for various companies, creating vast employment opportunities for the increased
pool of talent, the regional smaller and emerging firms still face a lot of challenges such as
the ones highlighted above. The firms catering to the Indian market alone are on a rough
terrain compared to the bigger established firms who have global roots. This is primarily
because global firms who are eminent and well-known have a better probability of
converting proposals into projects compared to the emerging firms with in India who are yet
to prove their credibility and offerings. However, the growing level of uncertainty in
todays market, increasing competition, consolidation, the scope for various business in
India and so on will drive the growth and is expected to make the Indian consulting
industrys future, a promising one.

find work as business developers. Many business developers only have a bachelor's degree.
Some businesses that do not have a business developer sometimes have their salespeople
handle business development. They must remain highly informed on what is going on in the
industry that their business is a part of, including what the competitors are doing. The
business developer must then have a sober understanding of what his own company is

Duties and responsibilities of HR MANAGER:
A human resources manager, or HR manager, is someone who recruits, interviews and
assists a company's employees. HR managers are actually only in charge of their own
departments, but are extremely valuable nonetheless, as they try to find people who are
good matches for their company's various positions.
Interviewing
HR managers begin the process of finding employees by combing through cover
letters and resumes. Sometimes, supervisors in other departments will perform that
task, but even in those instances they will pass along an applicant's info the HR
manager. Many HR managers will then call a candidate for an interview, perhaps
conducting several as they seek the right fit for their company. During the interview,
HR managers ask general questions to try to get a read on an applicant's personality,
and how the applicant would react in certain situations.
Double-Checking
Following the interview process, an HR manager will call a candidate's references,
and perhaps run a criminal and financial background check. HR managers also tend
to call the candidate's former employers--whether the candidate has the former
employer listed as a reference is typically irrelevant. Assuming all of this clears, the
HR manager and manager of the department that has an opening will confer and
decide on whom to hire.
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 28

Making an Offer
Sometime during the interview process, an HR manager will explain to candidates
the history of the company, what the available job entails, how much it pays, and
what type of health care and retirement packages are available. After choosing a
candidate, an HR manager will call the applicant and offer the job. HR managers
need to be prepared for the candidate to request more in the way of wages, then get
back to the candidate and perhaps make a higher offer. Sometimes, HR managers
need to hire candidates who may not be their first choice, simply because some
candidates are willing to take the job for less money.
Other Duties
On top of hiring employees, HR managers typically need to manage their own staffs,
who handle things such as employee training, payroll and the writing and
distributing of employee handbooks. HR managers also arrange severance packages
for those who are fired or laid off.
Duties and responsibilities HR RECRUITER
The HR Recruiter is a key role in the recruitment and staffing process. The recruiter is
fully responsible for the outcomes of the recruitment process in the organization. The key
results areas of the job positions are: timeliness of hiring, quality of delivered candidates
and reasonable costs of the hiring process. Additionally, the HR Recruiter should be
engaged in the company wide projects focused on HR Marketing.
Several levels of the HR Recruiter job position usually exist. The recruiter can be the entry
level job position in Human Resources. The recruiter has the possibility to recognize the
entire organization by meeting managers and helping them hire a new employee. On the
other hand, the recruiter can be extremely skilled and job interviewing can be just a small
proportion of the working time. The rest can be spent on different projects and process
improvements.

3. FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENT
Since the company has only 20 employees, the functions of other departments such as
Marketing Department, Purchase Department and System Department is taken care by the
following departments only. This is a consultancy company hence there is no need of a
Production Department.
HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT
There are 20 employees in the organization including the CEO. There are 10 HR recruiters
and many interns will be working whenever permitted.
CEO
HR MANAGER
BUSINESS DEVELOPER
HR RECRUITERS
ACCOUNTS MANAGER
SECURITY
The HR manager takes in charge of all the HR activities i.e. making awareness of the
policies and regulations followed in the company. The compensation and benefit
function is taken care by the Accounts department. Training provided is an On-the Job
training where the newly recruited candidates will be guided by the HR manager
himself.
Recruitment Process
When I was working there as an intern, there was an internal requirement for an HR
recruiter. The following were the steps that were followed and till few process I was
allowed to perform by myself.
So I was asked to search for ads posted for HR jobs in Quikers.com and selected
only those ads which were 6month fresh and located in Bangalore since we needed
the requirement for the Bangalore branch.
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 31

Once the filter is done, I called those candidates and enquired them about their
interest in this job and if the answer is yes then I would ask them to come for an
interview in the next week and fix the time. And this process is known as Sourcing.
Out of 20lead calls made only 10 or 12 will turn up. The reason for this poor turn up
is myriad.
After the candidates arrive they will be asked to wait in the lobby and if the HR
manager himself is free he will conduct the interview otherwise any other senior HR
recruiter conducts the interview.
If the candidate clears that round of interview then he/she will be sent to the CEOs
cabin for the final round of interview.
In the final round if the candidate clears then he/she will be asked to join the work
form the following day.
ACCOUNTs DEPARTMENT
The function of an accounting department is to look after the finances of a company. This
can be anything from paying bills to making sure that the employees that work for the
company.
The main accounting department functions are;
Making payments.
Making sure that the company pays all bills, on time and also at the least cost possible. If
there is a discount for paying quickly, the accounts department will usually pay the bills as
soon as possible so that the company spends as little money as they possibly can. They are
responsible for all outgoing payments and making sure that what they are paying is correct.
Payroll
The accounts department has to ensure that the employees are all paid correctly and on time.
They also have to make sure that all of the employees are paying the right amount of tax
and that they have not made any mistakes with tax brackets and government payments on
behalf of the employees.

ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 32

Receiving payments.
The accounting department must also receive payments and make sure that these are all
processed correctly. These will all be payments for the services or products the company
has provided and they must ensure that they have paid all relevant tax. There will also be an
element of chasing up payments and making sure that all of the payments are received when
they should be.
Budgets.
They are also responsible for giving budgets and estimates of what they feel the
company should be spending. These may be split by department or function and they
must also predict budget figures for years to come so that the company knows what it
should be spending and more importantly, charging to customers.
The Accounts Department handles the Compensation and benefit function. When I was
working there as an intern, I helped the Accounts assistant manager is maintain the records
at the time of Auditing. They have to make sure the receipt and vouchers support all the
entries made. There should be proof. They file all the transactions to avoid chaos. There are
only two employees in the Accounts department.
BUSINESS DEVELOPING DEPARTMENT
There is only one employee who handles this department. The main functions of that
employee are:
Drive strategic development; spearhead development of marketing and sales.
Develop and retain clientele.
Marketing resorts, which are owned by the CEO.
She has in depth knowledge about the industry and the companys competitors.
Communication skills are excellent.

4. PORTERS FIVE FORCE
1 Threat of New entrants
The barriers to entry are very low. To register an HR consultancy is same as
registering a company; hence the regulations involved are less complicated.
The functions of an HR consultancy also are simple as well as challenging.
As the result, there are many HR consultancies popping up in every nook and
corner.
Result: Relatively weak threat of new entrants

2 Bargaining power of Buyers
Clients are many and companies with the requirement of a well established
position have more bargaining power, whereas companies with low profile
get a low bargaining power.
Since there are many HR consultancies in the market, this company tries and
retains its loyal customers and attracts new clients.
Result: the bargaining power of the buyers is strong.

3 Bargaining power of suppliers
Job portals are the main suppliers of the company. The company pays a
certain amount to these job portals to maintain an account in their portals
which acts as a main source of potential candidates.
These job portals like Naukri.com, Monster.com are very famous job portals
where many potential candidates upload their resumes.
Due to recession many individuals upload their resumes in these job portals
and await for a response from various consultancies and companies, hence
the bargaining power of suppliers are very strong.
Result: the bargaining power of suppliers is very strong

4 Threat of substitute products and services
Substitutes for this company are the companies who recruit directly and
Employment agencies.
ORGANZATION STUDY HR-ONE CONSULTANT

DAYANANDA SAGAR COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 34

Some of these employment agencies charge the candidates once they are
recruited which this company does not follow. HR-One charges the
companies and not the candidates.
Result: threat of substitutes is low.
5 Rivalry among existing competitors
Due to low barriers for entry in this industry, there are many
consultancies cropping up in every nook and corner which increases
the threat of new entrants.
There are many other HR consultancies which are well reputed in the
market which have better network than HR-One.
In the current economic crisis, there is minimal profitability and only companies
with large cash reserves and excellent networking are likely to survive.

6. SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It is a
popular analysis technique used in planning, problem-solving and decision-making
across an assortment of business functions and activities.
Strengths:
They are able to respond very quickly as they have no red tape, no need for higher
management approval, etc.
They are able to give really good customer care, as the current small amount of work
means they have plenty of time to devote to customers
Their lead consultant has strong reputation within the market
Weaknesses:
HR-One Company has no market presence or reputation
The company is vulnerable to vital staff being sick, leaving, etc.
Opportunities:
Their business sector is expanding, with many future opportunities for success
Their local council wants to encourage local businesses with work where possible
i.e. encourage work from home.
Threats:
The growing competition in this industry poses as a major threat to the company.
Finding potential candidates to fill in clients requirement is tough these days.

7. EXPERIENCE REVIEW
Mr. Henry, HR manager of the company was in charge of all the interns in the company. He
only assigns work to the interns and interns are answerable to him.
As an intern 1
st
day I was asked to get well versed with the policies of the company.
Know its functions, their associations and its history.
After going through the information about the company. I was given a clients
requirement. I was asked to screen resumes in Monster.com and report the potential
candidates to the manager.
I was given the username and password to access into their Monster.com account
through which I was asked to screen many resumes in accordance to the clients
requirements, which is the 1
st
work performed by an HR recruiter.
I worked on excel sheet and created a database of job ads published in Ascent, a
supplement of Times of India.
As the next step, there was an internal requirement of an HR recruiter in the
company hence I was asked to select potential candidates in Quikr.com and make
cold calls and enquire about their interest in the job and if they are then I enquired
further about their professional background and fix an interview for those
candidates.

Since I worked as an intern and was allowed to share a part of their work,
there are no findings and suggestions for this company.

7. CONCLUSION
HR-One Management consultant has provided me a great platform to learn about all the
activities that take place in a HR consultancy. The HR manger in this company has helped
me a lot, with patience taught me how to work and trusted me and assigned work. End to
End work of an HR recruiter was taught to me and was allowed to do most of the work
except interviewing the candidates.
This internship program has given me a great insight into the corporate world and helped
me understand many theoretical topics learnt in HR. It was a great experience and very
helpful.
