RECRUITMENT STRATEGY With the high rising competition in business and corporate sector, the task of getting Recruitment & Selection DATA ANALYST 4

the best candidates in an organization becomes very challenging. So we have decided to establish our strategy on campus recruitment, as the ideal applicant would be a highly motivated fresh graduate. It is defined by the system where various organizations come to the college (campus) to recruit bright youngsters to work for them. Who? We are looking for Business Graduates with a business related degree. The ideal profile has already been defined in the first part Key Competencies.

What? Campus Recruitments goal for organizations is to meet the aspirants and pick up intelligent, committed youth who have the requisite enthusiasm and zeal to prove them. What is important here for companies is to pick up the cream of the crop from different colleges, before they go to other sectors or worse, to competitors. Even if campus recruitment is not easy, it has some other advantages than getting the best. Indeed it is often less expensive than investing in advertisement, screening process and eventual selection of applicants. It can also be a time gain if it is well prepared and done. Where? This type of recruitment is mainly done in the most prestigious schools, in order to pick up the best elements even before they look for a job themselves. It can also be a means to grab attention at specific locations. Indeed sometimes companies have problems to attract young talented candidates in some rural areas; campus recruitment close to this place can be a success in hiring competent people. When? Campus recruitment should be done before the graduation, but not too early, as otherwise the company would have to wait too long before the recruited person starts working.

How? In order to find the right candidate, it is necessary to implement a recruitment procedure. In order to succeed its campus recruitment, companies have to build a real relationship with college. This relationship should include a transparency about the intentions of both parties, because it is a common interest. Companies can get Recruitment & Selection DATA ANALYST 5

the best elements and schools can gain in notoriety as their teaching is valorized. So both companies and schools have to work on responsiveness, brand image, culture and compensation. Schools have to give some information to the companies, such as the number of batches joining in a year or the number of candidates per batch. The recruitment should be planned, and students should be informed 1 month in advance about it. RECRUITMENT MESSAGE As we are working on campus recruitment, the message should be a link between school and career. Our recruitment message will be addressed to young people who will, in most cases, apply for their first job. So it has to be simple and precise. The main question to answer while creating a recruitment message is Whats in it for me? If applicants do not understand it while reading the message, it will not succeed in recruiting the best. Our target applicants are the brilliant young minds of the batch. These people are excited to succeed in what they may consider "the real world". And so this is where our recruitment message springs from: "We want you to succeed. Because your success is our success." In order to attract the best of the best, we would be tapping into their desire to achieve success on their first job. We want them to feel that they can make a significant contribution in their first job, even if they are what most would consider inexperienced. We want these young and driven individuals to channel their efforts into proving that they can make it in the real world - their success is possible on the first try. SELECTION PROCESS The various steps involved in selection process after resume screening is as follows: Preliminary Interviews: It is used to eliminate those candidates who do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria laid down by the organization. The skills, academic and family background, competencies and interests of the candidate are examined during preliminary interview. Preliminary interviews are less formalized and planned than the final interviews. The candidates are given a brief up about the company and the job profile; and it is also examined how much the candidate knows about the company. Written Tests: Various written tests conducted during selection procedure are aptitude/ intelligence test, comprehension and analysis test, work sample test. These tests are used to objectively assess the potential candidate. They should not be biased. Recruitment & Selection DATA ANALYST 6

HR Interviews: It is a one to one interaction between the HR interviewer and the potential candidate. It is used to find whether the candidate is best suited for the required job or not. But such interviews consume time and money both. Moreover the competencies of the candidate cannot be judged. Such interviews may be biased at times. Such interviews should be conducted properly. No distractions should be there in room. There should be an honest communication between candidate and interviewer. Panel Interview with senior analyst: This is a required step in the selection process where the candidate should be interviewed by the team with whom he/she would be directly working. This would give a better idea in terms of candidates technical knowledge and a bit of compatibility with the team members. Medical examination: Medical tests are conducted to ensure physical fitness of the potential employee. It will decrease chances of employee absenteeism. Appointment Letter : A reference check is made about the candidate selected and then finally he is appointed by giving a formal appointment letter.

SELECTION TOOL SAMPLE One of the most effective selection tools would most probably be the work sample test. Essentially, the applicant is already doing the job albeit on a narrower scale using a pen and paper test, with the minimum information provided to effectively capture the data needed. The work sample test would let us know whether he/she possesses the key competencies needed for the job. From the exam below, we are able to assess how the applicant fares on the following: reading comprehension, written communication, attention to details and analytical ability. We are also able to determine if the applicant understood the instructions and guidelines given well and quickly enough to answer the questions correctly. The exam is considered a snapshot of the actual work done by a data analyst and gauges the potential success of the applicant in the job once hired (Refer to Apendix I for Sample Test). EVALUATION OF RECRUITMENT STRATEGY Most of successful businesses knew that their top asset is their workforce. To develop a pool of capable and efficient employee rooster will require a sound recruitment and selection process that will identify strong candidates inside and outside the company. Recruitment & Selection DATA ANALYST 7

Evaluation is needed to determine if the recruitment method is valid and the process is effective. There are various steps to choose from and the following are examples; Creating a measurement standard It can be composed of a measurement system such as qualitative assessment of performance, surveys from employees, employee turnover, length of time that employee would stay with the company as well as number of position vacancy every year. Tracking of measurement standard Measurement standards must be tracked to ensure if the process is effective. The company may practice tracking it on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis depending on how is it suitable for their business process. Review of company cost for recruitment The cost of recruitment process will include time for Human Resource personnel attending to the process, bonuses and reimbursements for the pool of applicants and lastly for advertising. This cost must equate as investments and expected to yield quality employee. The objective of evaluating the cost is to ensure that the company is practicing effective spending in all of their processes not necessarily for recruitment alone. Process must improve business Image The process must give an impression that the company is in sound business position that whoever interested to join the company will have the full confidence when given the chance to be part of the company. Process and Policies should conform to legal requirements The company will not be held liable for violations of the provisions of the Labor laws and other related policies.
