PREFACE Faced with an information technology employee shortage of monumental proportions, a Personnel planning is the first step in the recruiting and selection process. We can conveniently view this process as a series of hurdles. A personnel planning is the process of deciding what position in the firm will have to fill, and how to fill. Personnel planning cover all the firm’s future positions, from maintenance clerk to CEO. Employment planning is an integral part of a firm’s strategic and HR planning process. One big question is whether to fill projected openings from within or from outside the firm. In other words, will you plan to fill them with current employees or by recruiting from outside. One of the major problems in Recruitment & Selection is Workforce diversity. This problem is mainly related with the problem of people of different caste, sex, languages, region and religion. Also this problem can be solved by Celebrating Diversity i.e. all the people of the organization grouped together to celebrate all these diversities. (Avinash singh)

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY I have taken the topic “Recruitment and Selection” for the project. The main reason and rationale behind choosing this topic is importance of these activities in the welfare and progress of the company. Being a HR manager, one has the responsibility of recruiting and selecting right candidates for the right job and as all know the main asset and strength of any company is its personnel. If the people working for the company are capable, company will grow but if selection for the candidates is not appropriate, company can never progress. Importance of recruitment and selection can further be more clear by the following points: Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decide whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and well-managed recruiting effort will result in mediocre ones. High-quality employees cannot be selected when better candidates do not know of job openings, are not interested in working for the company, and do not apply . The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about employment opportunities, create a positive image of the company, provide enough information about the jobs so that applicants can make comparisons with their qualifications and interests, and generate enthusiasm among the best candidates so that they will apply for the vacant positions. Selection refers to the process of picking the right candidates from the pool of applications. Selection is significant as its impact on work per romance and employee cost. Selection is generally done by the HR department often in consultation with the line managers. In the CML

1

selection is a many step process, commencing from preliminary interview and ending with evaluation and control. One of the major problems in Recruitment & Selection is Workforce diversity. This problem is mainly related with the problem of people of different caste, sex, languages, region and religion. Also this problem can be solved by Celebrating Diversity i.e. all the people of the organization grouped together to celebrate all these diversities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recruitment &selection study is about the people who work in an organization and their relationship with that organization. Different terms are used to describe these people: employees, associates, personnel, and human resources. But human resources has gained widespread acceptance over the last decade because it expresses it expresses the belief that workers are valuable and sometimes irreplaceable resource. Effective human resource management is a major component of a manager’s job. A human resource Strategy is used for the planning of the manpower, which refers to the firm’s deliberate use of human resources to help it gain or maintain an edge against its competitors in the marketplace A human resource tactic is a particular policy or program that helps to advance a firm’s strategic goal.

Recruitment is a linking activity bringing together who offer job and who seeking for job. The purpose of recruitment is to locate source of manpower to meet job requirement and job specification. Recruitment is regarded as the most important function of personal administration, because unless the right type of people or hired even the best plans, organization charts and control system would fail. Recruitment is the process of searching the candidate and stimulates them for employment. After identifying the sources of human resources, searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization, the management has to perform the function of selecting the right employees at the right time. The objective of the selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. The selection procedure is the system of functions and devices adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidate’s specifications are matched with the job specifications and requirements or not.

STAGE-I: Readings for having a basic understanding of the project The first stage involved extensive reading of various magazines, books, internet websites etc. to have an idea about the chosen topic of interest that is “Recruitment &selection used by the organizations.” Various magazines like HRM Review, books on Recruitment &selection etc. were read for the aside purpose.

1

STAGE-II: Collecting data relating to psychometric testing This stage involved a collecting data with respect to the chosen topic of interest. Secondary data for this purpose was collected from various sources such as Human resource books, books on Recruitment &selection magazines, journals, internet etc.

STAGE-III: Questionnaire designing and primary data collection In this stage a questionnaire was designed under the guidance of our faculty, to collect data relating to the topic from human resource personnel working in different organizations. This questionnaire was then circulated through internet and was uploaded at citehr.com so that relevant data could be collected.

STAGE-IV: Data analysis and conclusions. In the final stage of the project the data so gathered was interpreted and analyzed. Upon analysis of data conclusions were drawn and the findings were finally added to the project report

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY 1

There should be specific recruitment & selection objectives. An aimless training program will not be of much use. This project has following objectives: 1. To study the Recruitment & Selection process 2. To check validity of recruitment procedure according to current competitive scenario. 3. To find out the effectiveness of the methods used for the Recruitment & Selection. 4. To find out how the employees met with the difficulties in the process of selection. 5. To find out the demographic profile of respondents.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY The scope of my study is confined to CML only to know how recruitment & selection helps in providing the potential employees/candidates to the organization. Recruitment & Selection includes information related to the way of obtaining the potential candidates i.e. the way of elimination or rejection procedure. 1. To analyze the present system and recommendations necessary. 2. Identification of the development needs. 1

3. To explore the possible area of defects to determine decisions regarding Change in procedure. 4. To study aims to provide guidelines for corrective measures to be taken. 5. Overall the study evaluates various factors which affect recruitment Procedure.

LIMITATIONS The study was carried out only at the Caparo Maruti Products Limited, Gurgaon.PLANT-2 And it has not covered the way of Recruitment & Selection at other Plants of the Caparo Maruti Limited which are based at distant Location like Noida and Chennai these could not be covered because they are located at a very distant place and to carry out the study over their will take many months. Some other limitations: 1. There are be some error in selection of employees due to nonavailability of the employees at the working site of some personnel reasons and also because of company’s privacy; we were not allowed to get in touch with them 2. Due to personnel biases and other reasons, the employees has expressed other views, which can affect the analysis and other facts 3. Less availability of time and money for the research work. 4. Less expertise or skills in the researcher. 1

INDUSTRY PROFILE India is today the second most populous country in the world. It is also an important country for the metal industry employing almost three million workers. Metal industries are the indispensable part of an economy. They form the backbone of industrial development of any country. In India the industrial development began with the setting up of Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) at Jamshedpur in 1907. It started its production in 1912. Then came up Burnpur and Bhadrawati Steel Plants in 1919 and 1923 respectively. It was, however, only after the Independence that the steel industry gas been able to find its feet. Barring the Jamshedpur plant of the Tatas, all are in public sector and looked after by the Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL). Bhilai and Bokaro plants were set up with the Soviet collaboration. Durgapur and Rourkela came up with British and German technology knowhow respectively. Iron and steel industry is by nature a heavy industry. Proximity to raw materials and access to efficient transportation network are crucial to this industry. The Chhotanagpur plateau bordering West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, therefore has been the natural core of this industry. Besides, iron and steel industry, heavy engineering and machine tools industries are the main dealers of metals. These industries have witnessed a

1

phenomenal growth and produce a whole range of capital goods and consumer durables. The capital goods required for textile industry, fertilizer plants, power projects, cements, steel and petrol-chemical plants, mining, construction and agricultural machineries such as equipment for irrigation projects, diesel engines, pumps and tractors, transport vehicles, etc. are being produced indigenously. The Heavy Engineering Corporation Ltd., set up at Ranchi in 1958 fabricates huge machines required for the iron and steel industry. Three units, viz. Locomotive Works, Chittaranjan (West Bengal), Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), and Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co. Ltd. (TELCO), Jamshedpur manufactures locomotives. The Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd. (HMT) is a major manufacturer of a wide range of machines and tools. It has its units in Banglore, Pinjore (Haryana), Kalamassery (Kerala), and Hyderabad. The HMT also produces a wide range of watches. The Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL) is a public sector undertaking, which produces power generation equipments. Its manufacturing plants are located at Bhopal, Tiruchirapalli, Hyderabad, Haridwar, Ranipet, Banglore and Jagdishpur (Uttar Pradesh). The Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Banglore has acquired capability of manufacturing aircrafts of different types. It has its manufacturing units at Banglore, Kanpur, Nasik, Koraput, Hyderabad, and Lucknow.

The Visionary – “LORD SWRAJ PAUL”

He completed MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan (Indian equivalent to British Peerage) by the Government of India in 1983 and was elevated to the British Peerage in 1996. Lord Paul of Marylebone town (Chairman & Founder)

Lord Paul's roots go back to the little Punjab of Jalandhar in India where, in 1910,

his father started by making steel buckets, tubs, trunks and agricultural implements, and had a small foundry at the back of the family home. From this modest undertaking Apeejay Surrendra Group has grown into one of India's largest family owned industrial groups in a wide range of industries: steel, engineering, pharmaceuticals, hotels, shipping and tea. Though the business prospered, the family continued to live frugally, following the Hindu prescription "simple living and high thinking". Anecdotes recall that when Lord Paul's mother was asked why she wore no jewels, she would proudly declare: "my sons are my jewels." This ethic of close family ties continued and Lord Paul attributes much of his business success to the moral and emotional support he received from his three brothers - Satya, Jit and Surrendra, and the happy home life created by his wife, Aruna.

Lord Paul came to Britain in 1966 for medical treatment for his daughter, Ambika. He remained in England after her tragic death in 1968 and sees all he has created in Caparo Group as a dedication to her memory. In 1994 Lord Paul took the opportunity to commemorate the rebuilding of London's Children's Zoo in her name. Whilst receiving treatment in London, the Zoo became Ambika’s favourite destination.

CAPARO INDIA Caparo group is now a collection of over 40 companies operating from over 60 sites worldwide.

CAPARO ETHICS Caparo has never been a company that is highly centralized and there is never any intention of changing the individual character of each operating division by dictating a specific company mission statement or vision. However Caparo is built upon some core values and beliefs and it is these that guide our decisions and our attitudes. These ethics were developed from Lord Paul’s Anniversary speech in 1994 which celebrated 25 years of Caparo.  Caparo is something more than a successful enterprise…it is a story of people, of values and of human effort.  Working together we can build Caparo with resolution, fortitude and ability.  The goodwill and confidence of Caparo employees, our suppliers, our customers and our managers is the bedrock of our business  Always aspire for excellence; nothing else is good enough  Never abandon hope  There is no such thing as bad business; only bad management  “What I like is people who are proud of what they do” Lord Paul  Our aim is to always be in the top 10% of performers (measured against our industry competitors)

 Success will happen so long as you work hard, with integrity  Find excitement in industry and your own job in it CAPARO – Differentiating Factors  Scale of operations :

Caparo has set up 19 plants across various geographies in India. This is amongst the highest number of plants across all Tiers I vendors in India. The Group has grown to this level from 3 plants in 2003. The Group currently has a land base of over 500 acres, strategically located across Chennai, NCR (Gurgaon, Noida and adjoining areas), Indore and Pune. A large part of this land base is still unutilized, making it easier for Caparo to put its expansion plans into effect. Caparo can profitably scale up to fill these capacities and yield more than INR 30bn of revenues by 2010. This would make Caparo India one of the largest Tier I vendors.  Investment in people and processes : The Caparo Group was founded by Lord Swraj Paul, a first generation entrepreneur, who combined strong ethics, astute business acumen and hard work to create a vast business empire in less than 4 decades. The same business philosophy and ethics have been extended by his son Angad Paul in developing the India business. Caparo India is run by an independent and professional set of managers drawn from premier auto component companies in India. Unlike normal

1

trade practices, this senior team has been put in place much in advance of the actual commencement of production at some of the plants Caparo has also invested in setting up a very robust and effective management information system (MIS), reflective of the professional nature of management and the strong corporate governance in place.

 Quality of manufacturing facilities : Caparo, being a relatively late entrant to the automotive industry in India, has developed its key infrastructure over the last 2- 3 years. However, this has given Caparo the ability to set up new facilities and employ ‘Best Practices’ in terms of manufacturing equipment & processes. This is a key differentiator over competitors, who still rely on facilities & processes set up in a very different industry scenario. The strong focus on manufacturing facilities and processes has also resulted in Caparo having the lowest rejection rates in the country. For the last 6 months, Caparo has been the #1 of 101 suppliers to Honda Siel, a distinction it has earned competing with Japanese vendors of Honda cars in India.  Diversified products and customers : Caparo has the unique distinction of being the only Indian automotive vendors with product capabilities ranging from metal pressing to forging, aluminum castings, tubing and fasteners. 1

Caparo is an approved vendor to practically all major OEMs across the passenger car, commercial vehicle and two-wheeler segments in the country – another distinction available with very few automotive vendors in India. Caparo’s large management team has extensive relationships across all IPO’s in India and is leveraging these relationships to drive export business. Caparo has been able to leverage these product capabilities in reaching out to its diversified customer base and being able to cross-sell various products to the same customer. This position insulates Caparo from the risk of product obsolescence as well as makes it neutral to the market share position within OEMs in the country. Moreover, the ability to sell a cross-section of products to the same set of customers will enable Caparo to out-grow their competitors at a much faster pace.

PRODUCTS Caparo is a diverse, fast growing group with a customer orientated philosophy. Our strategy centers on supplying products of the highest quality at competitive prices coupled with a lean and flat corporate structure resulting in fast decision making. Contained within this section is an overview of the products we manufacture and supply; from steel tubes, where it all began, to file handles, forgings and braking systems. Caparo is amongst the fastest growing auto component companies in India. It is well-equipped to become one of the top 3 Tier I vendors in the country.

1

A relatively late entrant to the domestic market, Caparo has made rapid progress in setting up world-class facilities and attaining the preferred vendor status, making it a strong contender for the leadership position in Indian auto component industry.

combines its portfolio of products and services to provide full vertical integration to its customers. The majority of the companies in this division are manufacturing orientated, with the exception of the consultancy services offered by Caparo Vehicle Technologies (CVT). CVT is an advanced automotive technology and engineering design company, focused on providing technology development, materials engineering and design services to the mainstream automotive, motor sport and aerospace markets. In addition to their skills in vehicle design and engineering the company has particular expertise in materials technology. The company has gained the services of Ben Scott-Geddes and Graham Halstead who were responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren sports car; the first advanced composite all carbon body structure to undergo Euro NCAP testing. This unique capability and understanding of materials performance, including how materials as dissimilar as aluminum, advanced composites, engineering plastics and high strength steel can be joined - and which is the best material for a particular part of the car - is important to manufacturers needing to reduce the weight of vehicles to make them more fuel efficient without compromising active and passive safety. Caparo's hotels, a selection of hand picked properties, renowned for their hospitality and exceptional service, possess first class facilities and offer a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for leisure travelers, as well as for business or formal events. From the gem of a location of the Osborne in Torquay, the 1

enchanting riverside setting of the Upper Reaches and the breathtaking views of Bignell Park, to the boutique feel of the White Hart in historic Lincoln, each of the Caparo Hotels have been individually designed to merge into one with their surroundings and deliver a feeling of enjoying something unique. Synonymous with flair and sophisticated elegance, the Caparo Hotels also pride themselves in their exceptional cuisine, served in individually styled restaurants, bistros and brasseries, and the relaxing atmosphere in their bars and cafés. MARKETS Caparo is a key player in an extensive range of market sectors. Since Lord Swraj Paul founded the group in 1968 Caparo has expanded its product portfolio from steel tube via strategic acquisitions and new start up projects.  North America : Entry into the global marketplace was achieved via the acquisition of Bull Moose Tube Company in 1988 which allowed Caparo to expand into the North American steel market. Steel tube is currently sold into the North American agricultural, automotive and construction markets.  India : In India Caparo is specializing in the manufacture of vehicle components and is building a reputation in this market place as an engineering solutions provider to the automotive market.  UK and Europe: In the UK, the Steel Products group is now one of the UK’s leading steel conversion businesses supplying the agricultural, construction, furniture,

1

power generation, tooling and automotive markets with steel tube, wire, scaffolding and precision strip. The development of the Engineering and Vehicle Products groups have allowed Caparo access to the automotive, defense, marine and petrochemical markets, to name only a few. Following numerous acquisitions in 2006 Caparo Aluminum, part of the Caparo Engineering group, is now the leading sand and gravity die caster accounting for 50% of UK output. Caparo’s UK manufacturing expertise is now being used to develop new markets around the world. In India Caparo are building a forge and aluminum foundry in order to provide customers with an international solution – bringing them the benefits of the east and the west. INTRODUCTION Introducing the new employee who is designated as a probationer to the job, job location, surroundings, organization, organizations surroundings, and various employees are the final step of employment process. Some of the companies do not company do not lay emphasis on this function as they view that the colleagues of the new employees will automatically perform this function. This processes gains more significance as the rate of turnover is high among new employees compared to the senior employees. This is mainly because of the problem of adjustment and adaptability to the new surroundings and environment. Further induction is essential as the newcomer may feel insecure, shy, nervousness and disturbing. This situation leads to instability. Hence, induction plays pivotal role in acquainting the new employee environment, company rules and regulations.

1

Induction is the process of receiving and welcoming an employee when he first joins a company and giving him the basic information he needs to settle down quickly and happily and start work. Lecture, handbook, film, group seminar are used to impart the information to new employees about the environment of the job and the organization in order to make the new employee acquaint himself with the following heads: -

About the Company



About the Department



About The Superiors, Subordinates etc.
