CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
7
RECRUITMENT Recruitment is defined as, “a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce.” Edwin B. Flippo defined recruitment as “the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.” In simple words recruitment can be defined as a ‘linking function’-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs. PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates. Specifically, the purposes and needs are: Determine the present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its personnel-planning and job-analysis activities. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibly, under qualified or overqualified job applicants. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave the organization only after a short period of time. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates. Induct outsiders with a new perspective to lead the company. Infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization. Develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company. Search for talent globally and not just within the company.

FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT
The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment: -
1. INTERNAL FACTORS Recruiting policy Temporary and part-time employees Recruitment of local citizens Engagement of the company in HRP Company’s size Cost of recruitment Company’s growth and expansion
2)
EXTERNAL FACTORS Supply and Demand factors Unemployment Rate Labour-market conditions Political and legal considerations Social factors Economic factors Technological factors
9
THEORIES AND POLICIES OF RECRUITMENT Theories: 1. Objective theory 1) Assumes applicants use a very rational method for making decisions 2) Thus, the more information you can give them (e.g. salaries, benefits, working condition, etc), the better applicants weight these factors to arrive at a relative “desirability” index 2. Subjective theory 1) Assumes applicants are not rational, but respond to social or psychological needs (e.g. security, achievement, affiliation) 2) Thus, play to these needs by highlighting job security or opportunities for promotion or collegiality of work group, etc. 3. Critical Contact theory 1) Assumes key attractor is quality of contact with the recruiter or recruiter behaviour, e.g. (promptness, warmth, follow-up calls, sincerity, etc.) 2) Research indicates that more recruiter contact enhances acceptance of offer, also experienced recruiter (e.g. middle-aged) more successful than young or inexperienced recruiter - may be especially important when recruiting ethnic minorities, women, etc. Policies:
Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy of the same organization. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into consideration the government’s reservation policy, policy regarding sons of soil, 10
etc., personnel policies of other organizations regarding merit, internal sources, social responsibility in absorbing minority sections, women, etc. Specific issues which may be addressed in Recruitment Policy: 1) Statement : Non-discrimination (EEO employer) or particular protected class members that may be sought for different positions (see also Affirmative Action guidelines)
2) Position description: Adherence to job description (& qualifications) in recruitment & selection -BFOQ’s -bonafide occupational qualifications
3) How to handle special personnel in recruitment/selection: e.g. relatives (nepotism) veterans (any special advancement toward retirement for military experience?), rehires (special consideration? vacation days or other prior benefits?), part-time or temporary personnel (special consideration? benefits?)
4) Recruitment budget/expenses: what is covered? Travel, Lodging/meals, Staff travel to recruit, relocation, expenses, etc. 5) Others: a. Residency requirement in district? b. Favours, special considerations related to recruitment? - e.g. get spouse a job?
11
INDUCEMENTS TO RECRUITMENT Organisational inducements are all the positive features and benefits offered by an organization that serves to attract job applicants to the organisation. Three inducements need specific mention here, they are: Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases, incentives and fringe benefits can all serve as inducements to potential employees. Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow personally and professionally and also attract good people to the organization. The feeling that the company takes care of employee career aspirations serves as a powerful inducements to potential employees. Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organisation’s reputation include its general treatment of employees, the nature and quality of its products and services and its participation in worthwhile social endeavours.
12
CONSTRAINTS Poor image: If the image of the firm is perceived to be low( due to factors like operation in the declining industry, poor quality products, nepotism etc), the likelihood of attracting large number of qualified applicants is reduced. Unattractive jobs: if the job to be filled is not very attractive, most prospective candidates may turn indifferent and may not even apply. This is especially true of job that is boring, anxiety producing, devoid of career growth opportunities and generally not reward performance in a proper way( eg jobs in post office and railways). Government policy: Government policies often come in the way of recruitment as per the rules of company or on the basis of merit and seniority. Policies like reservations (scheduled castes, scheduled tribe etc) have to be observed. Conservative internal policies: Firms which go for internal recruitments or where labour unions are very active, face hindrances in recruitment and selection planning.
13
RECRUITMENT- Relationship with other activities
CENTRALISED V/s DECENTRALISED RECRUITMENT Recruitment practices vary from one organization to another. Some organizations like commercial banks resort to centralized recruitment while some organizations like the Indian Railway resort to decentralized recruitment practices. Personnel department at the central office performs all the functions of recruitment in case of centralised recruitment and personnel departments at unit level/zonal level perform all the functions of recruitment concerning to the jobs of the respective unit or zone.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT The sources of recruitment may be broadly divided into two categories: internal sources and external sources. Both have their own merits and demerits. 14
Internal Sources:Persons who are already working in an organization constitute the ‘internal sources’. Retrenched employees, retired employees, dependents of deceased employees may also constitute the internal sources. Whenever any vacancy arises, someone from within the organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted or even demoted.
External Sources External sources lie outside an organization. Here the organization can have the services of: (a) Employees working in other organizations; (b) Jobs aspirants registered with employment exchanges; (c) Students from reputed educational institutions; (d) Candidates referred by unions, friends, relatives and existing employees; (e) Candidates forwarded by search firms and contractors; (f) Candidates responding to the advertisements, issued by the organization; and (g) Unsolicited applications/ walk-ins.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT Internal Methods: 1. Promotions and Transfers
This is a method of filling vacancies from internal resources of the company to achieve optimum utilization of a staff member's skills and talents. Transfer is the permanent lateral movement of an employee from one position to another position in the same or another job class assigned to usually same salary range. Promotion, on the other hand is the permanent movement of a staff member from a position in one job class to a position in another job class of increased responsibility or complexity of duties and in a higher salary range.
Job Posting:
Job Posting is an arrangement in which a firm internally posts a list of open positions (with their descriptions and requirements) so that the existing employees who wish to move to different functional areas may apply. It is also known as Job bidding. It helps the qualified employees working in the organization to scale new heights, instead of looking for better perspectives outside. It also helps organization to retain its experienced and promising employees.
Employee Referral:
18
It is a recruitment method in which the current employees are encouraged and rewarded for introducing suitable recruits from among the people they know. The logic behind employee referral is that “it takes one to know one”. Benefits of this method are as follows: Quality Candidates Cost savings Faster recruitment cycles Incentives to current employees On the other hand it is important for an organization to ensure that nepotism or favouritism does not happen, and that such aspects do not make inroads into the recruitment process. External Methods: External methods of recruitment are again divided into two categories- Direct External Recruitment and Indirect External Recruitment methods.
DIRECT EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT METHOD
Campus Recruitment In Campus Recruitment, Companies / Corporate visit some of the most important Technical and Professional Institutes in an attempt to hire young intelligent and smart students at source. It is common practice for Institutes today to hire a Placement Officer who coordinates with small, medium and large sized Companies and helps in streamlining the entire Campus Recruitment procedure. Benefits of Campus Recruitment
19
Companies get the opportunity to choose from and select the best talent in a short span of time. 1. Companies end up saving a lot of time and efforts that go in advertising vacancies, 2. screening and eventually selecting applicants for employment 3. College students who are just passing out get the opportunity to present themselves to some of the best companies within their industry of interest. Landing a job offer while still in college and joining just after graduating is definitely what all students dream of. 4. On the negative front, campus recruiting means hiring people with little or no work experience.
INDIRECT EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT METHOD
Advertisement
Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment. They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs) and should include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay package, location, job description, how to apply-either by CV or application form, etc). Where a business chooses to advertise will depend on the cost of advertising and the coverage needed i.e. how far away people will consider applying for the job.
Third Party Methods Walk-ins: Walk-ins is relatively inexpensive, and applicants may be filed and processed whenever vacancies occur. Walk-ins provide an excellent 20
public relations opportunity because well-treated applicants are likely to Sin form others. On the other hand, walk-ins show up randomly, and there may be no match with available openings. This is particularly true for jobs requiring specialized skills. Public and private employment agencies: Public and private employment agencies are established to match job openings with listings of job applicants. These agencies also classify and screen applicants. Most agencies administer work-sample tests, such as typing exams, to applicants. E-Recruiting: There are many methods used for e-recruitment, some of the important methods are as follows:
a. Job boards: These are the places where the employers post jobs and search for candidates. One of the disadvantages is, it is generic in nature. b. Employer websites: These sites can be of the company owned sites, or a site developed by various employers. c. Professional websites: These are for specific professions, skills and not general in nature. Gate Hiring and Contractors: The concept of gate hiring is to select people who approach on their own for employment in the organization. This happens mostly in the case of unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Gate hiring is quite useful and convenient method at the initial stage of the organization when large number of such people may be required by the organization

STRATEGY
EVALUATION OF SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT 21
Time-lapse data: They show the time lag between the dates of requisition for manpower supply from a department to the actual date of filling the vacancies in that department. For example, a company's past experience may indicate that the average number of days from application to interview is 10, from interview to offer is 7, from offer to acceptance is 10 and from acceptance to report for work is 15. Therefore, if the company starts the recruitment and selection process now, it would require 42 days before the new employee joins its ranks. Armed with this information, the length of the time needed for alternative sources of recruitment can be ascertained - before pinning hopes on a particular source that meets the recruitment objectives of the company.
Yield ratios: These ratios indicate the number of leads/ contacts needed to generate a given number of hires at a point at time. For example, if a company needs 10 management trainees in the next six months, it has to monitor past yield ratios in order to find out the number of candidates to be contacted for this purpose. On the basis of past experience, to continue the same example, the company finds that to hire 10 trainees, it has to extend 20 offers. If the interview-to-offer ratio is 3:2, then 30 interviews must be conducted. If the invitees to interview ratio is 4:3 then, as many as 40 candidates must be invited. Lastly, if contacts or leads needed to identify suitable trainees to invite are in 5:1 ratio, then 200 contacts are made.
Surveys and studies: Surveys may also be conducted to find out the suitability of a particular source for certain positions. For example', as pointed out previously, employee referral has emerged as a popular way of hiring people in the Information Technology industry in recent times in India. Correlation 22
studies could also be carried out to find out the relationship between different sources of recruitment and factors of success on the job. In addition to these, data on employee turnover, grievances, and disciplinary action would also throw light on the relative strengths of a particular source of recruitment for different organizational positions. Before finally identifying the sources of recruitment, the human resource managers must also look into the cost or hiring a candidate. The cost per hire can be found out by dividing the recruitment cost by the number of candidates hired.

RECRUITMENT POLICY SOURCE IT
RECRUITMENT POLICY

26
Methods or Techniques of Recruitment Direct Method These include sending recruiters to educational and professional institutions, employees’ contacts with public and manned exhibits. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation with the placement office of the college. The placement office usually provides help in attracting students, arranging interviews, furnishing space and providing student résumés. For managerial, professional and sales personnel, campus recruiting is an extensive exercise. For this purpose, carefully prepared brochures describing the organizing and the job it offers are distributed among the students, before the interviewer arrives. Indirect Method These methods involve mostly advertising in newspapers, websITES, radio, in trade and professional journals, technical magazines and brochures. Companies advertise when qualified or experienced personnel are not available from other sources.
Third Party Method These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies and placement offices of colleges, recruiting firms, management consulting firms, friends and relatives.
Professional Organizations:
27
These organizations maintain a pool of human resource for possible employment. These firms are also called ‘head hunters’, ‘raiders’ and pirates by organizations who lose personnel thought their efforts. Fundamentally there are two distinct steps of recruitment and each is a comprehensive process in itself. Preparation Know your client Learning about companies is valuable because knowing what a company values will help an agent to assess the candidates better. Pertinent information about the processes of the company would also help you analyze CVs and find the right candidate. This can be done by reading the corporate website or calling the company for further information or using your own network and find out the ‘work culture’. This will help one to know about the history of the company, their core values, their clients and processes, the benefits employees can enjoy and the career growth chart. When one has knowledge about these vital parameters, it becomes easier to assess a resume based on these parameters. Moreover, when one is equipped with such vital information about the company and the job profile, it helps to motivate and mould the suitable but reluctant candidates to attend the interview. Analyse the Job Description (JD) A job description is a written record of the duties, responsibilities and requirements of a particular job. It is concerned with the job itself and not the work. It is a statement describing the job in such terms as “Title, location, duties, working condition and hazards”. An updated job description is essential for a good selection interview. It helps one to explain the nature of work to the prospective candidate properly without any over or under commitment. This 28
also helps to put the candidate, the client company and the agent on the same platform. Prepare a Job Specification (JS) It is a written record of the requirements sought in an individual worker for a given job. In other words, it refers to a summary of the personal characteristics required for a job. Once the agent knows what the job is, then he can decide what kind of person he/she would need to do it. Sometimes the job specification is already prepared and given by the client along with the job description. In such a case, the job of the agent becomes easier. The job specification is for the benefit of the employees working in Denave. It is ready reference to check on the requirements that one needs to keep in mind while sourcing for the different clients. It makes the whole task easier and more convenient. Implementation Sourcing: Sourcing is the most of all recruitment activities. It is also difficult being monotonous in nature. A recruiter needs to be self-motivated to do the job. The sourcing takes place in different levels and in all the verticals of the industry. The procedures involved are discussed below. Even before sourcing is started, it is very important to have a clear understanding of the requirement of the client company. The recruiter must have all knowledge about the company he/she is about to source for. It makes sure that all the questions that a candidate has regarding the profile or the credibility of the company are satisfactorily answered. Sourcing is defined as the process wherein the recruiter creates a pool of potential candidates to fill up a position. It is the first step of recruitment. Sourcing involves logging on to a job-portal and doing a search for the potential candidates. After the search is generated, the most critical part of sourcing starts. Mainly four steps are involved in Sourcing. They are discussed below: 29
Analyse the Curriculum Vitae (CV): Now is the time to scrutinize the candidate’s resume. It is human nature to generally omit the negative points while creating a resume or to exaggerate the achievements. Though most of the time people are truthful while forming their resumes, others can hide or not mention things that can portrait a negative picture of them. A good CV is one which is precise and presentable. It should contain all details of education and work experience should be arranged in reversed chronological method so as to emphasize on the most recent one. Analysing a CV helps in short- listing a candidate. Match the JD and JS: When a CV has been analysed and is considered as a good one, the next step is to match it with the job description. It is necessary to match it with the profile given by the company. Matching it with the JD gives an idea if the person will be able to serve well in the position or not. Next it is important to match it with the job specification. The JS gives the details of the desired skills and the mandatory skills. These are the criteria for selection. Shortlist the candidate: Once the CV has been matched with the job description and matched with the job specification, CV can shortlisted. Such a candidate is then called in for a face-to-face interview. There is an individual interview of the recruiter and the candidate. In this interview the candidate answers the questions the recruiter asks to be sure that the candidate would suit the profile of the job. Handling the rejected candidates: It is very important how a recruiter manages the rejected candidates. It is important to make the candidate where his lacunas are and what can he do about it. In this way not only the recruiter helps the candidate to correct itself but also 30
helps in creating an association with them which is so very vital in the service industry. Interview Interviews determine if a potential candidate will be a finalist and if he shall suit the job. A lot of things get clear during an interview. A face to face talk with the candidate ensures that the recruiter evaluates the candidate on terms of attitude, confidence and communication. The gaps that seem in the resume are also questioned. The candidate may have an explanation for it. On the other hand if he is lying, then he can be cross-questioned about this. Some of the objectives of interview are: To get an opportunity to judge an applicant’s qualifications and characteristics as a basic for sound selection and placement. To give an applicant essential facts about the job and the company you are recruiting for. To establish a rapport. To promote goodwill about the company whether interview culminates in employment or not. To get a real feel of the candidate. The nature of the job determines which of these interviews would suit best. All the interviews are not conducted for all the job profiles. The complexity of the interview depends on the complexity of the job. The telephonic Interview It is said that listening intently gives a good idea of what a person want to say and what a person does not say. The sound, intonations, the varying pressures that a prospective candidate uses while he/she speaks tells a lot about his/her attitude. This in turn helps the recruiter to judge that if the candidate would be suitable for the job or not. Unlike the face-to-face interview where the recruiter 31
can read the non-verbal languages, in a telephonic interview he has to even sharper. Listening to the words used and their tone used gives immense messages about the candidate. As a recruiter, one has to be completely prepared before taking a telephonic interview. The following steps can be kept in mind while taking a telephonic interview: 1) You must keep the CV next to you and make notes while taking the interview. 2) Must prepare a set of questions that would match the JD. 3) To use a call script. This helps in being professional and saves time to in approaching the right candidate. 4) Do not display any negative emotion during the interview. Not to over or under commit anyone. Devise interview questions: Preparation in advance of an interview is essential if one is to make a successful hire. Critical in the preparation process is the development of interview questions that elicit tangible facts from all applicants. Basically, two rules are kept in mind when framing the questions that will indicate whether or not an applicant meets the requirements you established for the position: RULE 1: Ask questions that concentrate on the applicant’s past performance – to permit reliable assumptions about future success. RULE 2: Ask questions that relate directly to at least one of your listed requirements to maximize the information you will gain in the time allotted . General Questions: Tell me about yourself What do you about the company? 32
What are your goals? What are your strengths and weakness? What

CHAPTER 3 MY INTERNSHIP AT THE SOURCE IT
40
My internship at the source IT : I was given the opportunity to work in the source IT for the 10 days from 11.06.2018 t o 21.06.2018. It was part of my educational program . As my major in human resource management. I worked in Human Resource Management as an intern where I had learnt several practices of human resource division of the source IT. Before joining The source IT , I thought that it would be very difficult job for me . Later, my idea has changed. Description of the job: As I had opportunity to have 10 days long at Source IT .I have done different tasks that are conducted by the recruitment under Human Resource Division. First day , I was introduced to my supervisor ,Mr . Harshad sir .then introduced me with other HR personnel whom I would do my work .He also gave me some brief about the job descriptions. I was assigned to the following jobs regularly .Those were:
Collecting resumes. Screening resumes. Providing job description to those people who are looking for job. Explaining new employee about their task and their role in the organisation . Preparing call list for written, Explaining new employee about rules and regulations and also facilities available in the organisation . Maintaining rejected resumes . Preparing profile summary .
41
Collecting resumes For the recruitment of various positions like HR Assistant, Sales Manager, Assistant manager- R&D etc, applicants submit their resumes two ways. Some applicants prefer to forward their resumes by post and some prefer through internet. I collected and maintained all resumes those came through post. I also printed those resumes via E-mail. Then, I kept both types of resume. Screening resumes After collecting all resumes, I sometimes did screening resumes. The source IT received in large quantity resumes. There were few areas to concentrate when I looked for screening resumes. For example, there was a recruitment advertisement about HR manager. So there were requirement in that circular. So I screened resumes based on requirement like age limit, experience, educational background etc. Sometimes I differentiated resumes based on public and private university according to their suggestion. If there was any resume that came through reference, I highlighted that resumes on first page. Then I sent it Mr Sharad . He and other HR managers do final screening . Preparing call list for written

CHAPTER -4 LITERATURE REVIEW
43
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Rigorous sourcing was undertaken to understand the recruitment process. Candidates were interviewed and then potential candidates were shortlisted. During the tenure of the project I learnt to put the candidates under assessment tests and took the initial rounds of interview. Job Portals used by me for the recruitment of candidates through MONSTER and NAUKRI.COM
The whole process of recruitment from a recruitment firm is a very exhausting one. It is detail oriented in nature. The reason why every employee gets motivated to do the job is because of the knowledge that at that particular moment that particular recruiter was responsible for giving job to these candidates. To generate employment is one thing but to recruit the right kind of workforce for a job is another thing. It not only needs the basic understanding of the client company’s need to fill the position in a period of time but it also requires the recruiter to be sensitive of the needs of the candidate to find the right job for himself. All this needs a great profundity of intellect. During my tenure at company, I learnt to work as professional. The one thing that got profoundly clear is that text books do not help in the actual corporate world. There are unwritten policies and standard operating procedures that each employee has to abide to. No matter what, profit maximization is the core purpose of the existence of every business. Meeting targets on your level dedicatedly is your contribution to the revenue generation of the company. Functional area of HRM

62
* Observation: Through my internship period at The source IT, I have observed some issues which are: Limited workforce: Recruitment department of HR division performs their responsibilities with a limited workforce. Sometimes, it makes so stressful working environment for existence employees. Recruitment and selection process done continuously: In The source IT , recruitment and selection is a continuous process. Almost every week, HR division has done recruitment and selection task and these tasks have done chronologically. Lots of paper work: Recruitment department of The source IT has used lots of paper work. From requisition form to publishing final result, Paper is used in every aspect. As a result, they waste many papers and do not recycle this paper most of the times. Proper use of internal sources of recruitment: Recruitment department maintains good eyes on its internal sources. When there is any recruitment process, HR division posted recruitment advertisement on every notice of every branch. They also publish this advertisement on their intranet. So, staff from this organization can see the advertisement. HR division also maintains contact with other divisions’ employees so that they can recommend other people to apply here. But they do not post any advertisement in their official website. Using HRIS and internal server: Recruitment department only uses HRIS software to input final result. Other soft copies of recruitment and selection process are kept in their internal server. Totally new environment for internee: The source IT has no training for internee. They put internee directly on process. As a result, there are many mistakes at starting moment. Recruitment process and academic learned: I think The source IT, recruitment process is ideal process. It is matched what I have leaned in the book. More or less, they are same So, I did not find any mismatch between them.
63
* Lesson learned from internship program: • Time management: I had always work to arrange, organize, schedule and budget my time to finish the tasks. It will help to develop my time management skill with effectively and efficiently. • Communication: I had to communicate different types of people like applicants, managers, internees, new joiners for complete my tasks. So, it helps me to develop communication skills. • Stress management: When there is any recruitment and selection activity, I had to do this with stress because there is shortage of workforce compare with job. So I have learnt how to deal with stress. • Teamwork: I always worked with a helpful team in The source IT Here, I understood that teamwork is an essential part to complete task for organization aspect.

CONCLUSION An effective recruitment and selection process reduces turnover, we also get much better results in our recruitment process if we advertise specific criteria that are relevant to the job. Include all necessary skills, and include a list of desired skills that are not necessary but that would enhance the candidate's chances. If we fail to do this, we might end up with a low-quality pool of candidates and wind up with limited choices to fill the open position. When we choose a candidate based upon the qualifications demonstrated in the resume, the interview, employment history and background check, we will land the best fit for the position. Based on our decisions about a specific candidate upon specific evidence rather than any gut instincts. If we hire people who can do the job instead of people we merely like, we will have higher productivity and quality in our products or services. The recruitment and selection process is the time we not only identify a candidate who has the experience and aptitude to do the job that we are looking to fill, but also to find someone who shares and endorses our company’s core values. The candidate will need to fit in well within our company’s culture. The selection and recruitment process should provide our company with an employee who adapts and works well with others in our business. Failure to recruit and select for the long term can result in high turnover. The employees of any organization are its life blood, without doubt. With the dawn of this realization upon the present day business organizations, there appears to be a major shift towards human resource management. In fact, the employees of today are encouraged to participate in the major decisions and thus play a vital role in the management of the firm. Theperformance of the organization depends on the efficiency that itsemployees exhibit. Hence it is of crucial importance that employees with the most suitable qualifications be selected. This is where the processes of recruitment and selection come in. It is difficult to separate one from the other. The various company illustrations given in this report indicate that these processes require a great deal of thought and advanced planning. In fact, it is not only the HR department that is involved. The finance departmentprovides the budget for the processes and the manpower gap isdeter mined by inputs from all the departments. 67
The gruelingprocedure through which the candidate goes through is, in itself, an indicator of the significance of these processes in the efficient functioning of the organization. Besides, selection function provides a vital opportunity for us to focus on what candidates can offer our company. It is important to select carefully, either by using our own judgment or by enlisting the help of managers we trust. The interviewer must know what the job is and what will be required for a new hire to perform well. The interview process also allows us the opportunity to express our company’s vision, goals and needs. Last but not least, It is vital that the interview elicits responses from applicants that can be measured against our expectations for the position. If we don’t use the interview to effectively eliminate applicants who don’t fit into the company culture, we might end up dealing with turnover, confusion and disgruntled employees.
