CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At SEL we believe Corporate Social Responsibility is about how we

manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on


society and environment. It is the continuing commitment by us to act
ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the
quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local
community and society at large.
Social responsibility can be broadly divided into two parts: human
responsibility and environmental responsibility.
We perform our Human responsibilities towards the various
stakeholders. We respect the rights of employees, shareholders, the
government, customers, investors, suppliers, competitors and the society
at large.
Environmental responsibility refers to the organizations responsibility
towards environment protection.
We ensure that we continuously achieve pollution control standards set
by various regulatory bodies. We follow an efficient system for the
disposal of waste.
We strive for optimum utilization of energy, materials and all natural
resources. We ensure effective steps to achieve recycling of waste as
much as possible and responsible discharge of any inevitable waste. Our
bio massed co-generation power plants would lessen the greenhouse gas
emission. We provide training to our employees on environmental
issues and encourage our buyers and suppliers to be environmentally
responsible. We are encouraging adoption of Go Green policies. We
are constantly striving to make the product and the process of
production as environment-friendly as possible.

We believe the realm of social responsibility extends beyond the legal


responsibilities of an organization and the advantages of Corporate
Social Responsibility are far beyond the myopic view of gaining
goodwill to harness business. Its a belief that a business which takes all
its factors of production from the society must give back to the society,
for sustainable progress and happiness of one and all.

We believe in the potential and abilities of our people.

We work with passion and integrity.

We are open in our communication.

We change in consonance with the environment.

We give the best to our customers.

We work as an interlinked team.

We encourage quick and intelligent decision making.

We are committed to our societies.

We stand by our values irrespective of the circumstances.

We work to make the world a better and happier place to live in.

CHAPTER-2
INTRODUCTION TO
RECRUITMENT AND
SELECTION

INTRODUCTION TO RECRUITMENT AND


SELECTION
Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organizations
success. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive and the
available skills grow more diverse, recruiters need to be more selective in
their choices, since poor recruiting decisions can produce long-term
negative effects, among them high training and development costs to
minimize the incidence of poor performance and high turnover which, in
turn, impact staff morale, the production of high quality goods and services
and the retention of organizational memory. At worst, the organization can
fail to achieve its objectives thereby losing its competitive edge and its
share of the market.
Human resource department plays a crucial role in this process. The
backbone of any successful company is the HR department, and without a
talented group of people to hire, culture, and inform employees, the
company is doomed for failure.
Human resource is most valuable assets in the organization. Profitability of
the organization depends on its utilization. If there utilization is done
properly will make profit otherwise it will make loss. To procure right man
at right place in right time, some information regarding job and job doer is
highly essential. This information is obtained through job analysis, job
description and job specification. Without these recruitment will be
unsuccessful.

A well planned and well managed recruitment will result in high quality
applicants for the company. The recruitment process should inform
qualified individuals about employment opportunities, create a positive
image of the company, provide enough information of the jobs so that
applicants can make comparison with their qualifications and interests and
generate enthusiasm among the best candidates so that they will apply for
vacant positions.
What distinguishes a successful company from unsuccessful one is the
quality of manpower. The role of management is to optimize the use of
resource available to it. The role of HR is to incorporate the planning and
control of manpower resource into the corporate level plans so that all
resources are used together in the best possible combination.
Managing people at work and control of human activities in employment is
a function that must be performed in all societies. It is essential in every
type of employment for every occupation and every type of employed
manpower. Manpower management is essential in government as well as
private employment under socialism or communication in small business
and in large.
Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the
activities that impact most critically on the performance of an organization.
While it is understood and accepted that poor recruitment decisions
continue to affect organizational performance and limit goal achievement, it
is taking a long time for public service agencies in many jurisdictions to
identify and implement new, effective hiring strategies.

Recruitment is a process which provides the organization with a pool of


potentially qualified job candidates from which judicious selection can be
made to fill vacancies. Successful recruitment begins with proper
employment planning and forecasting. In this phase of the staffing process,
an organization formulates plans to fill or eliminate future job openings
based on an analysis of future needs, the talent available within and outside
of the organization, and the current and anticipated resources that can be
expended to attract and retain such talent.
Selection is a process of hiring the best among the pool of candidates
available.
Right person for the right job is the basic principle in recruitment and
selection. Every organization should give attention to the selection of its
manpower, especially its managers. The operative manpower is equally
important and essential for the orderly working of an enterprise. Every
business organization/unit needs manpower for carrying different business
activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection of
suitable candidates is essential. Human resource management in an
organization will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and
employment in a business unit.

2.1 RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is an important part of an organizations human resource
planning and their competitive strength. Competent human resources at the
right positions in the organization are a vital resource and can be a core
competency or a strategic advantage for it. Recruiting the top talent for a

job takes time and attracting the quality candidates who have the knowledge
and skills needed to help the companys growth.
Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of
personnel management. Recruitment precedes selection and helps in
selecting a right candidate. Right person for the right job is the basic
principle in recruitment and selection. Every organization should give
attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers. The
operative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly
working of an enterprise. Every business organization/unit needs manpower
for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for
this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates is essential. Human
resource management in an organization will not be possible if unsuitable
persons are selected and employment in a business unit.

2.1.1 Meaning of recruitment


It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for the
employment. The process begins when new 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 refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting
qualified people for a job at an organization or firm.

Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the


candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many
resources and time.

A general recruitment process is as follows:


1) Identifying the vacancy:
The recruitment process begins with the human resource department
receiving requisitions for recruitment from any department of the company.
These contain:
Posts to be filled
Number of persons
Duties to be performed
Qualifications required
2) Preparing the job description and person specification.
3) Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of
employees (Advertising etc).
4) Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required
characteristics.
5) Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.

What arrangement have been made for drawing a shortlist of
candidates
Whether the interview arrangement have been made

whom offer letter has been sent.

2.1.5 Recruitment Policy:


In todays rapidly changing business environment, a well defined
recruitment policy is necessary for organizations to respond to its human
resource requirements in time. Therefore, it is important to have a clear and
concise recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to
recruit the best talent pool for the selection of the right candidate at the right
place quickly. Creating a suitable recruitment policy is the first step in the
efficient hiring process. A clear and concise recruitment policy helps ensure
a sound recruitment process.
Most of the companies are having personnel policies for the organization.
Recruitment policy is a part of the personnel policy. But before making the
recruitment policy the organization must consider the government policies,
personnel policies of other organization, social responsibility of the
organization etc.

2.2 SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT


INTERNAL SOURCES: The most common internal sources of internal
recruitment are
1. Personal recommendations
2. Notice boards
3. Newsletters
4. Memoranda
1) Personal References

The existing employees will probably know their friends or relatives or


colleagues who could successfully fill the vacancy. Approaching them
may be highly efficient method of recruitment but will almost certainly
offend other workers who would have wished to have been considered
for the job. To keep employees satisfied make sure that potentially
suitable employees are informed of the vacancy so that they can apply.
Also anyone else who is likely to be interested is told about it as well so
that they can apply for the job.
2) Notice Boards
This is the convenient and simple method of passing on important
messages to the existing staff. A job advertisement pinned to a notice
board will probably be seen and read by a sufficient number of
appropriate employees at little or no cost. However many of the staff
will probably not learn of the vacancy in this way either because the
notice board poorly located or is full of out dated notices that they dont
bother to look at it, as they assume there is nothing new to find out. A
notice board must be ensured that it is well sited. Wherever it is been
placed it should be certain that it is seen by everyone. It means there
must be equal opportunity to see to it and this happens when they know
that just important topical notices are on display. Attention must be paid
to the design and contents of the notice if it is to catch the eye and make
the employee read on and then want to apply for the job.
3) Newsletters
Many companies regularly produce in-house newsletters, magazines or
journals for their staff to read. It is hoped that latest company news sheet

is read avidly by all staff thus ensuring that everyone is aware of the job
opportunity advertised in it. Unfortunately this is not always so, because
it is sometimes not circulated widely enough and employees may find it
boring and choose not to read it. Newsletter can be utilized as the source
of recruitment if it is convinced that everybody will see a copy.
4) Memoranda
Possibly the best way of circulating news of the job vacancy is to send
memoranda to department managers to read out to the teams or to write
all employees perhaps enclosing memoranda in wage packets if
appropriate. However it can be a time consuming process to contact staff
individually, especially if there is a large work force. It should also be
kept in mind as to in which way the memorandum is phrased out so that
the job appeals to likely applicants.

2.2.1 EXTERNAL SOURCES


There are many sources to choose from if you are seeking to recruit from
outside the company.
1. Word of mouth
2. Notices
3. Job centers
4. Private agencies and consultants
5. Education institutions
6. The press
7. Radio

8. Television
1) Word of Mouth
Existing employees may have friends and relatives who would like to
apply for this job. Recruiting in this way appears to be simple,
inexpensive and convenient. Never use word of mouth as a sole or initial
source of recruitment if the work force is wholly or predominantly of
one sex or racial group. Also employing friends and relatives of present
employees may be imprudent because it is not certain that they are as
competent as the current staff.
2) Notices
Displaying notices in and around business premises is a simple and often
overlooked method of advertising a job vacancy. They should be seen by
a large number of passerby, some actively looking for work. It can also
be inexpensive with a notice varying from a carefully hand written post
card up to a professionally produced poster. Pay attention to the
appearance and contents of the notice if it is intended that it is applied by
the right people.
3) Job Centers
Most large towns have a job center which offers employers a free
recruitment service, trying to match their vacancies to job seekers. Staff
will note information about a post and the types of person sought and
then advertise the vacancy o notice boards within their premises. Job
center employees can further help if requested to do so by issuing and
assessing application forms and thus weeding out those applicants who

are obviously unsuitable for the position. Short listed candidates are then
sent out for the employer to interview on his business premises.

4) Private Agencies and Consultants


There are various types of private organization that can help to find the
right person for a particular job. Employment agencies exist in many
town and cities. Some handle all general vacancies from junior unto
supervisory level while others specialize in various occupations such as
accountancy, clerical or computer personnel and marketing or sales.
Since they maintain a register of job seekers, they initially attempt to
find applicants from this list. A short list will be drawn up by reading
through applications and conducting interviews on client organizations
behalf. Although fees vary, it is expected to pay around 10 to 15% of the
annual salary offered if a suitable person is found for the job. This will
be partly refundable if he leaves within a certain period of time. For
temporary staff, it is normally charged on hourly, daily or weekly rate by
the agency. They will then pay the employee. Recruitment agencies are
similar to employment agencies in the services that they offer. The main
difference is that recruitment agencies tend to operate at a higher level,
concentrating on technical, managerial and executive appointment.
Accordingly, increased time, effort and expertise are needed to compile a
quality short list. This will be reflected in the fees charged, often
between 18 and 22% of the annual salary of the staff recruited. Again a
proportion of this may be refundable if the employees proves to be
unsatisfactory and subsequently departs.
Search consultants, also known as Headhunters, specialize in finding
candidates for senior positions. They normally head hunt people

currently at work in similar posts, possibly at rival companies. Discrete


approaches, by telephone, are made direct to the persons involved. Such
a process is time consuming and requires considerable tact and
diplomacy if it is to be successful. Charges may be in excess of 30% of
the annual salary. Before opting for this source attention must be paid
about those agencies who brashly promise to give a lengthy list of
candidates very quickly. It may sound impressive but suggests that they
are simply pulling names from a register perhaps of dubious quality and
are not actively searching for and screening applicants properly. A good
shortlist will take time to compile. It must be ensured that the agency
with which the organizations contracting must follow a good refund
system in case the new recruit resigns or needs to be dismissed shortly
after joining. Also a free replacement warranty up to six months must be
provided by the recruiting agency. When employing an agency or
consultant, make sure that they know exactly what they are expected to
do. A clear job description and employee specification, must be provided
so that they could screen by referring to the employee specification and
so on. Full up to date information about the job and person required.
Supply all details and all instructions in writing to avoid subsequent
misunderstandings and disagreements.
The recruiting agency or consultant must be in touch with the client
company throughout the recruitment process to ensure that the agency is
following the instructions and doing its job well. Also it must be ensured
that they are maintaining equality of opportunity and avoiding unlawful
discrimination against applicants of a particular sex, marital status or any

racial group. All applicants should be judged solely on their ability to do


the job.

5) Educational Institutions Or Campus Recruitment


Those companies which require a steady intake of young persons for
new Youth Training to trainee management positions ought establish and
maintain close contact with colleges and universities. The advantage of
campus recruitment is, it is known that who the audience to be addressed
are. Promotional literature in the form of posters, broachers, catalogues;
press releases and so on can be issued to the audience so that the
companys name remains prominent and their students minds all the
time.

6) The Press
Advertising for the new staff through the press has proved successful for
many

companies.

Choose

between

local

newspapers,

national

newspapers and the magazines. All will put in touch with different
audience. Local newspapers, read by a large cross-section of the
immediate population, may be most suitable if there is sufficient talent in
the area.
National newspapers, with their mass circulations and differing attitudes
to news coverage appealing to various tastes, could be better when
looking out to fill the senior position.
Trade Magazines often under estimated as useful source of recruitment
might be worth considering if looking out to recruit someone for a
specialized job which possibly requires previous experience of the
particular industry.

Naturally there are some drawbacks to newspaper advertising. It is


expensive in relation to other, often equally good source such as job and
careers centers, which advertise free. Other drawbacks of newspaper
advertising include a high level of wastage (the vast majority of readers
will not be job hunting) and a short life span. The daily or evening
newspaper is invariably discarded at the end of the day. A short series of
advertisement incurring extra expenses may sometimes be required and
multiplying one advert by three or four starts to make this source
prohibitively costly. Trade magazines could be a better way of recruiting
staff depending upon the circumstances. Most will include employment
advertisements within a classified section which will be read by a small
but select and interested number of people. There some disadvantages,
however the financial outlay is still considerable. If the magazine is
published bi-monthly or quarterly, may have to wait sometime before the
advertisement is seen. It may be intended to fill the vacancy as soon as
possible.

7) Radio
Many radio stations broadcast special job finders advertisements
throughout the day for companies looking for new recruits. Advertising
through the radio has got many advantages as it will be transmitted to
over a wide geographical area to potentially large audience. Variety of
age groups listens thus making it a suitable medium for different types
and levels of jobs. Advertisements can be broadcast very quickly

sometimes within hours. Nevertheless there are some disadvantages that


must be considered carefully. As few have tune in to hear advertisements
and their thoughts invariably wander when they are on, or they may start
station hopping to find more music. The radio is also transient medium.
An advertisement lasts for perhaps 30 seconds, which is a very short
period in which to put across all the important points, and is then
finished. It is usually difficult to remember (What was the companys
name? what was its phone number?) most listeners will not have a pen
and pad handy to make notes.

8) Television
You can advertise on a regional or national basis. Recruiting staff
through the Television is still widely regarded as a new and innovative
approach. Companies which use this medium may therefore be seen as
go-ahead and dynamic. Thus, this medium may not be an immediate
choice if there is only just one vacancy to be filled, although shorter and
expensive one month contracts could be negotiable and worth
considering.

2.3 SELECTION
The selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information
about the applicant. This information is secured in number of steps. The
objective of selection process is to determine whether an applicant meets
the qualifications for a specific job and to choose the applicant who is most
likely to perform well in that job.

The hiring procedure is not a single act but it is essentially a series of


methods by which additional information is secured about the applicant. At
each stage facts, which came to light, make the acceptance or rejections of
the candidate clear. Some selection processes are quite easy and some with
many hurdles this increases with the level and responsibility of the positions
to be filled.

2.3.1 Essentials of Selection Procedure


The selection process can be successful if the following requirements are
satisfied:
1. Someone should have the authority to select. This authority comes
from the employment requisition as developed by an analysis of the
work-load and work force.
2. There must be some standard of personnel with which a prospective
employee may be compared i.e., a comprehensive job description
and job specification should be available beforehand.
3. There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the
required number of employees may be selected.

PROCESS OF SELECTION
Selection

Preliminary screening interview

Completion of application or form if not done previously

Employment tests

Comprehensive interview

Back ground investigation

Final employment decision

2.3.2 Preliminary Interview or Screening


The initial screening is usually conducted by a special interviewer a high
caliber receptionist in the employment office. These interviews are short
and are known as stand-up interviews. The main objective of such
interviews is to screen out undesirable/unqualified candidates at very outset.
Such interviews conducted by someone who inspires confidence, who
genuinely interested in people, and whose judgment in the sizing up of
the applicant is fairly reliable.

Basic criteria that must be met for an application to be eligible for


consideration. If these criteria are not met, there is no obligation on the
employer to consider such applications. The screening process therefore
seeks to identify those applications that meet the basic entry-level
requirements applications that are therefore incomplete or do not meet the
basic appointment criteria are considered unsuccessful applications. In order
to be fair and objective in the screening of candidates, it is essential that a
fixed set of valid criteria be applied in terms of each and every candidate
that applies for a position.
Certain conditions should be met in relation to the format and content of a) Application forms
b) Curricula Vitae (CVs) and
c) All other relevant documentation.
What is the purpose of short-listing?
After having completed the screening process and eliminated those
applicants that do not meet the basic requirements, the next objective should
be to identify a manageable size (pool) of applicants (a short-list) who are
best suited to fill the position successfully and from whose ranks the most
suitable candidate(s) is/are to be selected. It is about identifying a
manageable pool of best suited candidates for a specific position, in the
interest of the State, taking into account Affirmative Action and
Employment Equity objectives.
May short-listing be used to reduce a vast number of applications to a
manageable size. As stated, the primary objective of the short-listing process
is to reduce the number of qualifying applicants to a manageable size for
purposes of selecting the most suitable candidate. A further objective with

short-listing is to rank candidates, and to determine a cut-off point below


which candidates will not be interviewed. The criteria utilized for shortlisting purposes should therefore be in sufficient detail to allow for this and
should be applied consistently.

2.3.3 Application Form


Application form is also known as application blank. The technique of
application blank is traditional and widely accepted for securing information
from the prospective candidates. It can also be used as a device to screen the
candidate at the preliminary level. Many companies formulate their own
style of application forms depending upon the requirement of information
based on the size of the company, nature of business activities, type and
level of job etc. they also formulate different application forms for different
jobs, at different levels, so as to solicit the required information for each job.
But few companies in our companies in our country do not have prescribed
application forms.

2.3.4 Psychological Testing


Test is defined as a systematic procedure for sampling human behavior
Tests are used in business for three primary purposes.
1) For the selection and placement of new employees
2) For appraising employees for promotion potentials and
3) For counseling employees if properly used psychological tests can be
of paramount importance for each of these purposes.

Classification of Tests on the Basis Of Human Behavior


A. Aptitude or potential ability test
Such tests are widely used to measure the latent ability of a candidate
to learn new jobs or skills. They will enable us to know whether a
candidate if selected, would be suitable for a job, which may be
clerical or mechanical. These tests may take one of the following
forms.
a) Mental or Intelligence Test - measures and enables to know whether
he or she has mental capacity to deal with new problems.
b) Mechanical Aptitude Test - measures the capacity of a person to learn
a particular type of mechanical wok. This could help in knowing a
persons capability for spatial visualization, perceptual speed manual
dexterity, visual motor coordination or integration, visual insights etc.
c) Psychometric tests these tests measures a persons ability to do a
specific job

B. Achievement test
Also known as proficiency tests they measure the skill, knowledge
which is acquired as a result of a training program and on the job
experience they determine the admission feasibility of a candidate
and measure what he/she is capable of doing.
a) Tests for measuring job knowledge this type of test may be oral or
written. These tests are administered to determine proficiency in

shorthand and in operating calculators adding machines dictating and


transcribing machines and simple mechanical equipment.
b) Work sample tests demand the administration of the actual job as a test.
A typing test provides the material to be typed and notes the time taken
and mistakes committed.

C. Personality tests
These tests aim at measuring those basic make up or characteristics of
an individual which are non-intellectual in their nature. In other
words they probe deeply to discover clues to an individuals value
system, his emotional reactions and maturity and motivation interest
his ability to adjust himself to the illness of the everyday life and his
capacity for interpersonal relations and self image.
a) Objective tests it measures neurotic tendencies self-sufficiency
dominance submission and self-confidence. These are scored objectively.
They are paper and pencil tests or personality inventors.
b) Projective tests it is a test in which a candidate is asked to project his
own interpretation into certain standard stimulus situation. The way in
which he/she responds to these stimuli depends on his own values,
motives and personality.
c) Situation tests these tests measures an applicants reaction when he is
placed in a peculiar situation his ability to undergo stress and his
demonstration of ingenuinity under pressure. Such tests usually relate to
leaderless group situations, in which some problem is posed to a group
and its members are asked to reach some conclusion without the help of a
leader.

d) Interest tests these tests aim at finding out the types of work in which a
candidate is interested. They are inventories of the likes and dislikes of
the people of some occupation hobbies and recreational activities. They
are useful in vocational guidance and are assessed in the form of answers
to a well prepared questionnaire.

Interviews
Interviews are a crucial part of the recruitment process for most
organizations. Their purpose is to give the selector a chance to assess the
candidate and to demonstrate their abilities and personality. Its also an
opportunity for an employer to assess them and to make sure the
organization and position are right for the candidate. An interview is an
attempt to secure maximum amount of information from candidate
concerning his suitability for the job under consideration.
The recruitment process for most organizations follows a common theme:
Applications/CVs are received, either online or by post; and candidates are
short-listed and invited for interview. The interview format can vary
considerably and may include an assessment centre and/or tests. The
number of interviews also varies. Some companies are satisfied after one
interview, whereas others will want to recall a further shortlist of candidates
for more. If successful at the final interview stage, an official job offer is
sent to the candidate. Interview format is determined by the nature of the
organization, but there are various standard formats.
Chronological Interviews -These work chronologically through the
candidates life to date and are usually based on the CV or a completed
application form.

Competency-Based Interviews -These are structured to reflect the


competencies that an employer is seeking for a particular job (often detailed
in the recruitment information). This is the most common type of interview
for graduate positions today.
Technical Interviews - If a candidate has applied for a job or course that
requires technical knowledge (e.g. positions in engineering or IT) it is
likely, at some stage in the selection process, that the candidate will be
asked technical questions or have a separate technical interview to test
his/her knowledge. Questions may focus on the final year project and
his/her choice of approach to it or on real/hypothetical technical problems.
It seen that the candidate proves himself/herself but also they admit to what
they dont know.

Kinds of Interviews:
1. One to one interview: in this type of interview one selector
interviews one candidate alone.
2. Informal interview: in this type there are discussions between the
candidate and two or more interviewers.
3. Panel of interviews: in these pre planned standard questions ranging
overall aspects of the job are asked. They focus directly on elements
of person specification.
4. Direct planned interview: this interview is straight forward, face to
face, question and answer situation intended to measure the
candidates knowledge and background.
5. Indirect and direct interview: in this type of interview the
interviewer refrains from asking direct and specific questions but
creates an atmosphere in which the interviewee feels free to talk and

go into any subject he considers important. The object of the interview


is to determine what individual himself considers of immediate
concern, what he thinks about these problems, and how he conceives
of his job and his organization.
6. Patterned interview: in this interview a series of questions which
illuminates validated against the record of employees who have
succeeded or failed on the job.
7. Stress interview:

in this interview the interviewer deliberately

creates stress to see how an applicant operates in stress situation. To


induce stress, the interviewer responds to the applicants answers with
anger, silence and criticism. This interview aims attesting the
candidates job behavior and level of withstanding during the period
of stress and strain.
8. Depth interview: in this type of interview, the candidate would be
examined extensively in core areas of knowledge and skills of the job.

Background Checks and Enquiries


Offers of appointment are subject to references and security checks. The
references given in the candidates application will be taken up and a
security check will be conducted. Security checks can take a while if the
candidate has lived abroad for any period of time.

Final Selection Decision


Those individuals who perform successfully on the employment tests and
the interviews, and are not eliminated by development of negative
information on either the background investigation or physical examination
are now considered to be eligible to receive an offer of employment. Who

makes that employment offer? For administrative purposes the personnel


department should make the offer. But their role should be only
administrative. The actual hiring decision should be made by the manager in
the department that had the position open.
