Human Resource Management and Human Resource Development

Definition:

HRM is the process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough

manner. This covers the fields of staffing (hiring people), retention of people, pay and perks setting

and management, performance management, change management and taking care of exits from the

company to round off the activities. This is the traditional definition of HRM which leads some

experts to define it as a modern version of the Personnel Management function that was used earlier.

We have chosen the term “art and science” as HRM is both the art of managing people by

recourse to creative and innovative approaches; it is a science as well because of the precision and

rigorous application of theory that is required.

Human Resource Development (HRD) means to develop available manpower through

suitable methods such as training, promotions, transfers and opportunities for career development.

HRD programs create a team of well-trained, efficient and capable managers and subordinates. Such

team constitutes an important asset of an enterprise. One organization is different from another

mainly because of the people (employees) working there in. According to Peter F. Drucker, "The

prosperity, if not the survival of any business depends on the performance of its managers of

tomorrow." The human resource should be nurtured and used for the benefit of the organization.

17 | P a g e
Advantages / Importance of HR:

 Meeting manpower needs: Every Organization needs adequate and properly qualified staff

for the conduct of regular business activities. Imaginative HRP is needed in order to meet the

growing and changing human resource needs of an organization.

 Replacement of manpower: The existing manpower in an Organization is affected due to

various reasons such as retirement and removal of employees and labour turnover. HRP is

needed to estimate the shortfall in the manpower requirement and also for making suitable

arrangements for the recruitment and appointment of new staff.

 Meeting growing manpower needs: The expansion or modernization programme may be

undertaken by the enterprise. Manpower planning is needed in order to forecast and meet

additional manpower requirement due to expansion and growth needs through recruitment

and suitable training programs.

 Meeting challenges of technological environment: HRP is helpful in effective use of

technological progress. To meet the challenge of new technology existing employees need to

be retrained and new employees may be recruited.

 Coping with change: HRP enables an enterprise to cope with changes in competitive forces,

markets, products, and technology and government regulations. Such changes generate

changes in job content, skill, number and type of personals.

 Increasing investment in HR: An employee who picks up skills and abilities becomes a

valuable resource because an organization makes investments in its manpower either

through direct training or job assignments.

18 | P a g e
  Adjusting manpower requirements: A situation may develop in; an organization when there

will be surplus staff in one department and shortage of staff in some other department.

Transfers and promotions are made for meeting such situations.

 Recruitment and selection of employees: HRP suggests the type of manpower required in an

organization with necessary details. This facilitates recruitment and selection of suitable

personnel for jobs in the Organization. Introduction of appropriate selection tests and

procedures is also possible as per the manpower requirements.

 Placement of manpower: HRP is needed as it facilitates placement of newly selected persons

in different departments as per the qualifications and also as per the need of different

departments. Surplus or shortage of manpower is avoided and this ensures optimum

utilization of available manpower.

 Training of manpower: HRP is helpful in selection and training activities. It ensures that

adequate numbers of persons are trained to fill up the future vacancies in the Organization.

HR Recruitment: The Challenge

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

stimulating them to apply for jobs in the Organization."

Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of qualified

applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist.

Usually, the recruitment process starts when a manger initiates an employee requisition for a

specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy.

It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and

to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate

effective selection of an efficient working force.

Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a pool of

prospective employees for the organization so that the management can select the right candidate for

the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the

selection process.

Recruitment is almost central to any management process and failure in recruitment can create

difficulties for any company including an adverse effect on its profitability and inappropriate levels

of staffing or skills. Inadequate recruitment can lead to labor shortages, or problems in management

decision making and the recruitment process could itself be improved by following management

theories. The recruitment process could be improved in sophistication with Rodgers seven point

plan, Munro-Frasers five-fold grading system, psychological tests, personal interviews, etc.

Recommendations for specific and differentiated selection systems for different professions and

22 | P a g e
specializations have been given. A new national selection system for psychiatrists, anesthetists and

dental surgeons has been proposed within the UK health sector

Sources of Recruitment

The different sources of recruitment are classified into two categories, viz.,

Internal: sources of recruitment are from within the organization.

External: sources of recruitment are from outside the organization.

23 | P a g e
Internal Sources of Recruitment

The internal sources of recruitment are:-

Promotions: Promotion means to give a higher position, status, salary and responsibility to the

employee. So, the vacancy can be filled by promoting a suitable candidate from the same

organization.

Transfers: Transfer means a change in the place of employment without any change in the position,

status, salary and responsibility of the employee. So, the vacancy can be filled by transferring a

suitable candidate from the same organization.

Internal Advertisements: Here, the vacancy is advertised within the organization. The existing

employees are asked to apply for the vacancy. So, recruitment is done from within the organization.

Retired Managers: Sometimes, retired managers may be recalled for a short period. This is done

when the organization cannot find a suitable candidate.

Recall from Long Leave: The organization may recall a manager who has gone on a long leave.

This is done when the organization faces a problem which can only be solved by that particular

manager. After he solves the problem, his leave is extended.

24 | P a g e
Merits of Internal Sources

The benefits / advantages / merits of using internal sources of recruitment:-

 It is time saving, economical, simple and reliable.

 There is no need of induction training because the candidate already knows everything

about the organization, the work, the employee, the rules and regulations, etc.

 It motivates the employees of work hard in order to get higher jobs in the same

organization.

 It increases the morale of the employees and it improves the relations in the organization.

 It reduce executive turnover.

 It develops loyalty and a sense of responsibility.

Demerits of Internal Sources

The limitations / demerits of using internal sources of recruitment:-

 It prevents new blood from entering the organization. New blood brings innovative ideas,

fresh thinking and dynamism into the organization.

 It has limited scope because it is not possible to fill up all types of vacancies from within the

organization.

 The position of the person who is promoted or transferred will be vacant.

 There may be bias or partiality in promoting or transferring persons from within the

organization.

25 | P a g e
  Those who are not promoted will be unhappy.

 The right person may be promoted or transferred only if proper confidential reports of all

employees are maintained. This involves a lot of time, money and energy.

External Sources of Recruitment

The external sources of recruitment are:-

Management Consultants: Management consultants are used for selecting higher-level staff. They

act as a representative of the employer. They make all the necessary arrangements for recruitment

and selection. In return for their services, they take a service charge or commission.

Public Advertisements: The Personnel department of a company advertises the vacancy in

newspapers, the internet, etc. This advertisement gives information about the company, the job and

the required qualities of the candidate. It invites applications from suitable candidates. This source is

the most popular source of recruitment. This is because it gives a very wide choice. However, it is

very costly and time consuming.

Campus Recruitment: The organization conducts interviews in the campuses of Management

institutes and Engineering Colleges. Final year students, who're soon to get graduate, are

interviewed. Suitable candidates are selected by the organization based on their academic record,

communication skills, intelligence, etc. This source is used for recruiting qualified, trained but

inexperienced candidates.

26 | P a g e
Recommendations: The organization may also recruit candidates based on the recommendations

received from existing managers or from sister companies.

Deputation Personnel: The organization may also recruit candidates who are sent on deputation by

the Government or Financial institutions or by holding or subsidiary companies.

Merits of External Sources

The benefits / merits / advantages of using external sources of recruitment:-

 It encourages young blood with new ideas to enter the organization.

 It offers wide scope for selection. This is because a large number of suitable candidates will

come for the selection process.

 There are less chances of bias or partiality.

 Here there is no need to maintain confidential records.

Demerits of External Sources

The demerits / limitations of using external sources of recruitment:-

 It is very costly. This is because advertisements, test, medical examination etc., has to be

conducted.

 It is very time consuming. This is because the selection process is very lengthy.

27 | P a g e
  It may not develop loyalty among the existing managers.

 The existing managers may leave the organization if outsiders are given higher post.

Need for Recruitment

The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situations

 Vacancies: due to promotions, transfers, retirement, termination, permanent disability, death

and labor turnover.

 Creation of new vacancies: due to growth, expansion and diversification of business

activities of an enterprise.

 In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job respecification.

The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department and

recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and the strategic

advantage for the organizations. 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:

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

30 | P a g e
  Preparing the job description and person specification.

 Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees (Advertising

etc).

 Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required characteristics.

 Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.

 Conducting the interview and decision making

The HR Role in Recruitment changed and HRM:

 Decides about the design of the recruitment processes and to decide about the split of roles

and responsibilities between Human Resources and Hiring Manager

 Decides about the right profile of the candidate

 Decides about the sources of candidates

 Decides about the measures to be monitored to measure the success of the process

A traditional role of HR in Recruitment was an administrative part of the whole process. The HRM

was responsible for maintaining the vacancies advertised and monitored, but the real impact of

HRM to the performance of the whole recruitment process was minimal.

But as the role of Human Resources in the business was increasing, the HR Strategy was changed.

From making the process working to the real management of HR Processes and the Recruitment

Process was the first to manage.

The role of HR in Recruitment is very important as HRM is the function to work on the

development of the recruitment process and to make the process very competitive on the market. As

the job market gets more and more competitive, the clearly defined HR Role in Recruitment will be

31 | P a g e
growing quickly. HRM is not a function to conduct all the interviews today, the main role of Human

Resources is to make the recruitment process more attractive and competitive on the job market.

Scope of HR Recruitment:

 HR jobs are one of most important tasks in any company or organization.

 To structure the Recruitment policy of company for different categories of employees.

 To analyses the recruitment policy of the organization.

 To compare the Recruitment policy with general policy.

 To provide a systematic recruitment process.

 It extends to the whole Organization. It covers corporate office, sites and works

appointments all over India.

 It covers workers, Clerical Staff, Officers, Jr. Management, Middle Management and Senior

Management cadres.

 A recruitment agency provides you with career counseling which renders a crystal clear

picture of what are the possible career options out there for you and which job option suits

you the best.

Objective of HR

 To obtain the number and quality of employees that can be selected in order to help the

organization to achieve its goals and objectives.

 Recruitment helps to create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the

management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool.

 Recruitment acts as a link between the employers and the job seekers and ensures the

placement of right candidate at the right place at the right time.

32 | P a g e
  Recruitment serves as the first step in fulfilling the needs of organizations for a competitive,

motivated and flexible human resource that can help achieve its objectives.

 The recruitment process exists as the organization hire new people, who are aligned with the

expectations and they can fit into the organization quickly.

Advantage of Outsourcing Recruitment/Hiring of Consultancy

Traditionally, recruitment is seen as the cost incurring process in an organization. HR outsourcing

helps the HR professionals of the organizations to concentrate on the strategic functions and

processes of human resource management rather than wasting their efforts, time and money on the

routine work.

Outsourcing the recruitment process helps to cut the recruitment costs to 20 % and also provide

economies of scale to the large sized organizations.

The major advantages of outsourcing performance management are:

Cost Reduction

Result Time saving of

Qualitative/Quantitative Hiring of consultancy Company

Focus Management
Effort

33 | P a g e
Outsourcing is beneficial for both the corporate organizations that use the outsourcing services as

well as the consultancies that provide the service to the corporate. Apart from increasing their

revenues, outsourcing provides business opportunities to the service providers, enhancing the skill

set of the service providers and exposure to the different corporate experiences thereby increasing

their expertise.

The advantages accruing to the corporate are:

 Turning the management's focus to strategic level processes of HRM

 Accessibility to the expertise of the service providers

 Freedom from red tape and adhering to strict rules and regulations

 Optimal resource utilization

 Structured and fair performance management.

 A satisfied and, hence, highly productive employees

 Value creation, operational flexibility and competitive advantage

Therefore outsourcing helps both the organizations and the consultancies to grow and perform

better.

34 | P a g e
Changing Role of Recruitment Intermediaries:

Recruitment consultancies, agencies or intermediaries are witnessing a boom in the demand of their

services, both by the employers and the job seekers. With an already saturated job market, the

recruitment intermediaries have gained a vital position acting as a link between the job seekers and

the employers.

But at the same time, one of the major threats faced by this industry is the growing popularity of e-

recruitment. With the changing demand, technologies and the penetration and increasing use of

internet, the recruitment consultancies or the intermediaries are facing tough competition. To retain

and maintain their position in the recruitment market, the recruitment intermediaries or consultants

(as they are commonly known) are witnessing and incorporating various changes in terms of their

role, functions and the services.

According to a survey amongst top employers, most of them agree with the growing influence of

technology and the Internet on the recruitment processes. 70 per cent of employers reported the use

of application portal on their company‟s official website. Apart from that, the emerging popularity

of the job portals is also growing.

But the fact that the intermediaries or the consultants are able to provide their expert services,

economies of scale, up to 40 percent savings in the recruitment costs, knowledge of the market, the

candidates, understanding of the requirements, and most importantly, the assess to the suitable and

talented candidates and the structured recruitment processes. The recruitment intermediaries save

the organizations from the tedious of weeding out unsuitable resumes, co-coordinating interviews,

posting vacancies etc. give them an edge over the other sources of recruitment.

35 | P a g e
To retain their position as the service providers in the recruitment market, the recruitment

intermediaries are providing value added services to the organizations. They are incorporating the

use of internet and job portals, making their services more efficient.

Despite of the growing use of the internet, the recruitment intermediaries are predicted to continue

dominating the recruitment market in the anticipated future.

HR Challenges in Recruitment

Recruitment is a function that requires business perspective, expertise, ability to find and match the

best potential candidate for the organization, diplomacy, marketing skills (as to sell the position to

the candidate) and wisdom to align the recruitment processes for the benefit of the organization. The

HR professionals – handling the recruitment function of the organization- are constantly facing new

challenges. The biggest challenge for such professionals is to source or recruit the best people or

potential candidate for the organization.

In the last few years, the job market has undergone some fundamental changes in terms of

technologies, sources of recruitment, competition in the market etc. In an already saturated job

market, where the practices like poaching and raiding are gaining momentum, HR professionals are

constantly facing new challenges in one of their most important function- recruitment. They have to

face and conquer various challenges to find the best candidates for their organizations.

41 | P a g e
The major challenges faced by the HR in recruitment are:

 Adaptability to globalization – The HR professionals are expected and required to keep in

tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes taking place across the globe. HR should

maintain the timeliness of the process

 Lack of motivation – Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job. Even if the

organization is achieving results, HR department or professionals are not thanked for

recruiting the right employees and performers.

 Process analysis – The immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main

concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be flexible, adaptive and responsive

to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be cost effective.

 Strategic prioritization – The emerging new systems are both an opportunity as well as a

challenge for the HR professionals. Therefore, reviewing staffing needs and prioritizing the

tasks to meet the changes in the market has become a challenge for the recruitment

professionals.

How does recruiters/consultant get paid?

A recruitment consultant primarily acts from a position of self interest. Their job is to generate

revenue by making sales. Sales mean selling their service, their ability to find the right candidate, to

prospective employers. In effect they are selling you. This means they will be eager to champion

you, their product, to the employer, likewise they will be keen to ensure that you will accept the

position if offered.

Exactly how a recruitment consultant is paid depends on whether it is a permanent or contract

position. Generally for a permanent placement the company receives a proportion of your salary, or

a set fee agreed with the employer. The more you earn the more they stand to make. Knowing this

should ease any concerns you have; in this you are both on the same side. For a contract the

consultant will receive a margin of your rate.
