Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Statement of the problem

Human Resource Management is part of the organization that is concerned with the “people” dimension. HRM can be viewed in one of two ways. First, HRM is a staff, or support in the organization. Its role is to provide assistance in HRM matters to line employees, or those directly involved in producing organization’s goods and services. HRM is a function of every manager’s job. Whether or not one work in a “formal” HRM department, the facts remain that to effectively manage employees requires all managers to handle the activities.

Human Resource Planning helps determine the number and type of people an organization needs. Recruitment follows Human Resources Planning and goes hand in hand with the selection process by which organizations evaluate the suitability of the prospective Candidates for the job. Jon analysis and job design specify the tasks and duties of jobs and the qualifications expected from prospective job holders (Chart-1.1). The next logical step is to select the right number of people the right type to fill the jobs. Selection involves two broad groups of activities: (i) Recruitment and (ii) Selection.

Human Resource

Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. Whereas Selection is the process of picking individuals (out of the pool of job applicants) with requisite qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization.

An organization large or small, profit or service oriented, whether it is, the ultimate aim is to achieve organizational goal. This achievement can only be possible through skillful and effective management of manpower. Selection is a key component in the acquisition of human resources. Without a reliable and erective selection mechanism, a business can never flourish, especially in the present world of market economy, which is fiercely competitive. Usually after successful completion of recruitment, selection and induction process the new employee must be developed to better fit the job and the organization.

Enam Labels Ltd. is an International Joint Venture Company. Every year a lot of recruiting goes on in its Head Office. Enam Labels Ltd.  has an enriched and skilled Human Resource Division.

Recruitment Model

 

The input job analysis yields the description of the jobs, the human specifications and the performance standards each job requires. Another input, HR plans identify likely job openings and allow selection to proceed in a logical & proactive manner.

One variation is to have applicants meet with two or more interviewers, allowing all the interviewers to evaluate the individual on the same questions and answers. Another major variation is to have two or more applicants be interviewed together by one or more interviewers.

 

#  Unstructured interviews: An unstructured interview allows employment specialists to develop questions as the interview proceeds. The interviewer goes into topic areas as they arise, trying to simulate friendly conversation. This approach may overlook key areas of the applicant’s skills or background.

#  Structured interviews: Structured, or directive, interviews rely on a predetermined set of questions. The questions are developed before the interview begins and are asked of every applicant.

The structured questions provide a base of information that allows comparisons between candidates; the unstructured questions make the interview more conversational and permit greater insights into the unique differences between applicants.

#  Behavioral interviewing: Behavioral interviewing focuses on a problem or a hypothetical situation that the applicant is asked to solve. Often these are hypothetical situations, and the applicant is asked what should be done. Both the answer and the approach are evaluated.

# Stress interviews: Stress interviews attempt to learn how the applicant will respond to job pressures. The interview consists of a series of harsh questions asked in rapid-fire succession and in an unfriendly manner.

Chapter Six : Recommendation and Conclusion

6.1 Recommendation

Strive to make the important things measurable, not the measurable things important. Many HR professional believe their function has become more involved in business decisions, more strategically oriented and more effective as a business partner. The HR function is adding more and more value to modern organizations. The changing role of HR professional carries with it new responsibilities and challenges.

During my internship program in HRM at Enam Labels Limited, I found some deficiency (as mentioned in findings) in the present recruitment and selection procedures. For better recruitment and selection I do humbly recommend the following points:

# Enam Labels Limited’s Policy of taking one permanent employee’s (only according to manager) security bond for only casher appointment might be extended for posts that are financially sensitive.

# It also needs to carry cultural behavior test, achievement test, aptitude test etc.

# In Enam Labels Limited the job applicants’ age is limited from 25 yrs to 32 yrs who have the tendency to change their job frequently.

# Enam Labels Limited should arrange orientation program for all new employees. As a result new employees happen to know the organizational culture, values, mission, vision etc.

# Though Enam Labels Limited provides induction training before placing in job but I think they should provide some more training related with job.

# Some time it seems nepotism but they should avoid it for 100% fair and transparent recruitment.

6.2 Conclusion

This requires a sharp business focus from HR professionals and the delivery of high quality HR systems that are integrated into the organization strategy and operations. The study “Recruitment and Selection Procedure of Enam Labels Limited” under HR revealed that employees are the most valuable resources for the progress of the organization.
