  4. 4. ABSTRACT Effective recruitment, selection and retention are critical to organizational success. They enable companies to have performing employees who are satisfiedwith their jobs, thus contributing positively to the organization. On the contrary, in-effective recruitment methodology, selection and retention would result in mismatches which can have negative consequences for an organization. A misfit who is not in tune with organization’s philosophies and goals can reduce output, productivity, customer satisfaction, relationship and overall quality of work. Training a wrong hire can also be expensive. Effective recruitment is therefore not only the first step towards organizational excellence, but is important cost control mechanisms as well. The study researches the spectrum of recruitment methodologies followed in a IT Company towards developing an unique model, propose suggestion that would reduce costs, time to recruit, be effective and help overall organizational interests.

  7. 7. 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
  8. 8. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Today, in every organization personnel planning as an activity is necessary. It is an important part of an organization. Human Resource Planning is a vital ingredient for the success of the organization in the long run. There are certain ways that are to be followed by every organization, which ensures that it has right number and kind of people, at the right place and right time, so that organization can achieve its planned objectives. The objectives of Human Resource Department are Human Resource Planning, Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Career planning, Transfer and Promotion, Risk Management, Performance Appraisal and so on. Each objective needs special attention and proper planning and implementation. For every organization it is important to have a right person on a right job. Recruitment and Selection plays a vital role in this situation. Shortage of skills and the use of new technology are putting considerable pressure on how employers go about Recruiting and Selecting staff. It is recommended to carry out a strategic analysis of Recruitment and Selection procedure. Also training need identification is necessary after selection process. A formal definition states, “It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applicants are selected”. P-1
  9. 9. The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons/situation: a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability, death and labour turnover. b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification of business activities of an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job specification. Selection is basically picking an applicant from (a pool of candidates) who has the appropriate qualification and competency to do the job. The difference between recruitment and selection: -Recruitment is identifying and encouraging prospective employees to apply for a job. And Selection is selecting the right candidate from the pool of applicants. P-2
  10. 10. 2. INTRODUCTION
  11. 11. INTRODUCTION Recruitment and Selection: Recruitment is the process of attracting individuals on a timely basis in sufficient numbers and with appropriate qualification, to apply for jobs within an organization. The process of searching prospective employees with multidimensional skills and experience that suits organization strategies in fundamental to the growth of the organization, this demands more comprehensive strategic perspective recruitment. Organizations require the services of large number of personnel, these personnel occupies the various positions created to the process of organization. Each position of the organization has certain specific contributions to achieve the organizational objectives. The recruitment process of the organizational has to be strong enough to attract and select the potential candidates with right job specification. The recruitment process begins with human resource planning and concludes with the selection of required number of candidates, both HR staff and operating managers have responsibilities in the process. “Right person for the right job is the basic principle in recruitment and selection. Every organisation should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers. Theoperative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly working of an enterprise. Every business organisation/unit needs manpower for carrying different business activitiessmoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates isessential. Human resource management in an organisation will not be possible if unsuitablepersons are selected and employment in a business unit. P-3
  12. 12. RECRUITMENT Meaning: Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitable arrangements fortheir selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the process of searching for andobtaining applicants for the jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected. A formal definition states, “It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicantsfor the employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when theirapplicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees areselected”. In this, the available vacancies are given wide publicity and suitable candidates areencouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool of eligible candidates for scientificselection. In recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates. For this different sourcesuch as newspaper advertisement, employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc.are used. In the recruitment, a pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of mostsuitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes withpotential employees Definition: According to EDWIN FLIPPO, “Recruitment is the process of searching for prospectiveemployees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in theorganization.” P-4
  13. 13. Need for recruitment The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situation: a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability, death and labour turnover. b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification of businessactivities of an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job specification. Purpose and importance of Recruitment: 1. Determine the present and future requirements of the organization on conjunction withits personnel-planning and job analysis activities. 2. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. 3. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visiblyunder qualified or overqualified job applicants. 4. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leavethe organization only after a short period of time. 5. Meet the organization’s legal and social obligations regarding the composition of itswork force. 6. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriatecandidates. 7. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and long term. 8. Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources for all types ofjob applicants. 9. Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs available in theorganization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit applications for thepurpose of selection. P-5
  14. 14. Recruitment Process: Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to build a poolof qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated stages, viz. 1. Planning. 2. Strategy development. 3. Searching. 4. Screening. 5. Evaluation and control. STAGE 1: RECRUITMENT PLANNING: The first stage in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves the translationof likely job vacancies and information about the nature of these jobs into set of objectives ortargets that specify the (1) Numbers and (2) Types of applicants to be contacted. Numbers of contact:Organization, nearly always, plan to attract more applicants than they will hire. Some of thosecontacted will be uninterested, unqualified or both. Each time a recruitment Programme iscontemplated, one task is to estimate the number of applicants necessary to fill all vacancieswith the qualified people. Types of contacts:It is basically concerned with the types of people to be informed about job openings. The typeof people depends on the tasks andresponsibilities involved and the qualifications andexperience expected. These details are available through job description and job specification. STAGE 2: STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT: When it is estimated that what types of recruitment and how many are required then one hasconcentrate in (1). Make or Buy employees. (2). Technological sophistication of recruitmentand selection devices. (3). Geographical distribution of labour markets comprising job seekers.(4). Sources of recruitment. (5). Sequencing the activities in the recruitment process. P-6
  15. 15. Make or Buy: Organisation must decide whether to hire le skilled employees and invest on training andeducation programmes, or they can hire skilled labour and professional. Essentially, this is the„make‟ or „buy‟ decision. Organizations, which hire skilled and professionals shall have to paymore for these employees. Technological Sophistication: The second decision in strategy development relates to the methods used in recruitment andselection. This decision is mainly influenced by the available technology. The advent ofcomputers has made it possible for employers to scan national and international applicantqualification. Although impersonal, computers have given employers and job seekers a widerscope of options in the initial screening stage. STAGE 3: SEARCHING: Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin. Searchinvolves two steps A) Source activation and B) Selling. STEP 4: SCREENING: Screening of applicants can be regarded as an integral part of the recruiting process, thoughmany view it as the first step in the selection process. Even the definition on recruitment, wequoted in the beginning of this chapter, excludes screening from its scope. However, we haveincluded screening in recruitment for valid reasons. The selection process will begin after theapplications have been scrutinized and short-listed. Hiring of professors in a university is atypical situation. Application received in response to advertisements is screened and onlyeligible applicants are called for an interview. A selection committee comprising the Vicechancellor,Registrar and subject experts conducts interview. Here, the recruitment processextends up to screening the applications. The selection process commences only later. P-7
  16. 16. Purpose of screening The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment process, at an early stage, thoseapplicants who are visibly unqualified for the job. Effective screening can save a great deal oftime and money. In screening, clear job specifications are invaluable. It is both good practice and a legal necessity that applicant’s qualification is judged on the basis of their knowledge, skills, abilitiesand interest required to do the job. STAGE 5: EVALUATION AND CONTROL: Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred in the recruitmentprocess. The costs generally incurred are: - 1. Salaries for recruiters. 2. Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job specifications, advertisements, agency liaison and so forth. 3. The cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods, that is, agency fees. 4. Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses. 5. Costs of overtime and outsourcing while the vacancies remain unfilled. 6. Cost of recruiting unsuitable candidates for the selection process. Sources of Recruitment: SOURCES OF MANAGERIAL RECRUITMENT: INTERNAL SOURCES EXTERNAL SOURCES 1) Promotion 1) Campus recruitment 2) Transfers 2) Press advertisement 3) Internal notification 3) Management consultancy service 4) Retirement 4) Deputation of personnel ortransfer from one enterprise toanother 5) Former employees 5) Walk-ins, write-ins, talk-ins P-8
  17. 17. The sources of recruitment can be broadly categorized into internal and external sources- 1) INTERNAL RECRUITMENT: Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within thecompany. The various internal sources include: Promotions and Transfers: Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel records. Job postingrequires notifying vacant positions by posting notices, circulating publications or announcing atstaff meetings and inviting employees to apply. Personnel records help discover employees whoare doing jobs below their educational qualifications or skill levels. Promotions has manyadvantages like it is good public relations, builds morale, encourages competent individualswho are ambitious, improves the probability of good selection since information on the individual’s performance is readily available, is cheaper than going outside to recruit, thosechosen internally are familiar with the organization thus reducing the orientation time andenergy and also acts as a training device for developing middle-level and top-level managers. Employee referrals Employees can develop good prospects for their families and friends by acquaintingthem with the advantages of a job with the company, furnishing them with introduction andencouraging them to apply. This is a very effective means as many qualified people can bereached at a very low cost to the company. The other advantages are that the employees wouldbring only those referrals that they feel would be able to fit in the organization based on theirown experience. In this way, the organization can also fulfil social obligations and create goodwill. Former Employees: These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part-time basis,individuals who left work and are willing to come back for higher compensations. Evenretrenched employees are taken up once again. The advantage here is that the people are alreadyknown to the organization and there is no need to find out their past performance and character. P-9
  18. 18. Dependents of deceased employees: Usually, banks follow this policy. If an employee dies, his / her spouse or son ordaughter is recruited in their place. This is usually an effective way to fulfil social obligationand create goodwill. Recalls: When management faces a problem, which can be solved only by a manager who has proceededon long leave, it may de decided to recall that persons after the problem is solved, his leave maybe extended. Retirements: At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of the one who had retired,after meritorious service. Under the circumstances, management may decide to call retiredmanagers with new extension. 2) EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT: External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from sourcesoutside the company. They have outnumbered the internal methods. The various externalsources include Professional or Trade Associations: Many associations provide placement service to its members. It consists of compiling job seeker’s lists and providing access to members during regional ornationalconventions. Also, the publications of these associations carry classified advertisements fromemployers interested in recruiting their members. These are particularly useful for attractinghighly educated, experienced or skilled personnel. Advertisements: It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer advertisementsbecause of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job benefits, identify the employer and tellthose interested how to apply. Newspaper is the most common medium but for highlyspecialized recruits, advertisements may be placed in professional or business journals. P-10
  19. 19. Advertisements must contain proper information like the job content, workingconditions, location of job, compensation including fringe benefits, job specifications, growthaspects, etc. Campus Recruitments: Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fields and institutes arefertile ground for recruiters, particularly the institutes. Campus Recruitment is going global withcompanies like HLL, Citibank, HCL-HP, ANZ Grind lays,L&T, Motorola and Reliance lookingfor global markets. Some companies recruit a given number of candidates from these institutesevery year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after that each college; university departmentor institute will have a placement officer to handle recruitment functions. However, it is oftenan expensive process, even if recruiting process produces job offers and acceptances eventually. Walk-ins, Write-ins and Talk-ins: The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is directapplications, in which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters or resumes. Directapplications can also provide a pool of potential employees to meet future needs. Fromemployees‟ viewpoint, walk-ins are preferable as they are free from the hassles associated withother methods of recruitment. While direct applications are particularly effective in filling entryleveland unskilled vacancies, some organizations compile pools of potential employees fromdirect applications for skilled positions. Write-ins are those who send written enquiries. Thesejobseekers are asked to complete application forms for further processing. Talk-ins involves thejob aspirants meeting the recruiter (on an appropriated date) for detailed talks. No application isrequired to be submitted to the recruiter. Consultants: They are in this profession for recruiting and selecting managerial and executivepersonnel. They are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend professionalism to thehiring process. They also keep prospective employer and employee anonymous. However, thecost can be a deterrent factor. P-11
  20. 20. Head Hunters: They are useful in specialized and skilled candidate working in a particularcompany. An agent is sent to represent the recruiting company and offer is made to thecandidate. This is a useful source when both the companies involved are in the same field, andthe employee is reluctant to take the offersince he fears, that his company is testing his loyalty. Radio, Television and Internet: Radio and television are used to reach certain types of job applicants such asskilled workers. Radio and television are used but sparingly, and that too, by governmentdepartments only. However, there is nothing inherently desperate aboutusing radio and television. It depends upon what is said and how it is delivered. Internet isbecoming a popular option for recruitment today. There are specialized sites like naukri.com. SELECTION: Selection process is a decision making process. This step consists of a number of activities. A candidate who fails to qualify for a particular step is not eligible for appearing for the subsequent step. Employee selection is the process of putting right men on the right job. It is a procedure of matching organisational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people. Effective selection can be done only where there is effective matching. By selecting best candidate for the required job, the organisation will get quality performance of employees. Moreover, organisation will face less absenteeism and employee turnover problems. By selecting right candidate for the required job, organisation will also save time and money. Proper screening of candidates takes place during selection procedure. All the potential candidates who apply for the given job are tested. The difference between recruitment and selection: Recruitment is identifying n encouraging prospective employees to apply for a job andSelection is selecting the right candidate from the pool of applicants P-12
  21. 21. SELECTION PROCESS: Selection is along process, commencing from the preliminary interview of the applicants andending with the contract of employment. 1. Preliminary test 2. Selection test 3. Employment interview 4. Reference and background 5. Analysis 6. Selection decision 7. Physical examination 8. Job offer 9. Employment contract Step-1 PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW: The applicants received from job seekers would be subject to scrutiny so as to eliminateunqualified applicants. This is usually followed by a preliminary interview the purpose ofwhich is more or less the same as scrutiny of application, that is, eliminate of unqualifiedapplicants. Scrutiny enables the HR specialists to eliminate unqualified jobseekers basedon the information supplied in their application forms. Preliminary interview, on the otherhand, helps reject misfits for reason, which did not appear in the application forms. Step-2 SELECTION TEST: Job seekers who pass the screening and the preliminary interview are called for tests.Different types of tests may be administered, depending on the job and the company. Generally, tests are used to determine the applicant’s ability, aptitude and personality. P-13
  22. 22. The following are the type of tests taken: 1. Ability test 2. Aptitude test 3. Intelligence test 4. Interest test 5. Personality test 6. Projective test 7. General knowledge test 8. Perception test 9. Graphology test 10. Polygraph test 11. Medical test Step-3 INTERVIEW: The next step in the selection process is an interview. Interview is formal, in- depthconversation conducted to evaluate the applicant’s acceptability. It is considered to beexcellent selection device. It is face-to-face exchange of view, ideas and opinion betweenthe candidates and interviewers. Basically, interview is nothing but an oral examinationof candidates. Interview can be adapted to unskilled, skilled, managerial and professionemployees. Types of interview: - Interviews can be of different types. There interviews employed by the companies. Following are the various types of interview:- 1. Informal interview 2. Formal interview 3. Non directive interview 4. Depth interview 5. Stress interview 6. Group interview 7. Panel interview 8. Sequential interview P-14
  23. 23. 9. Structured interview 10. Unstructured interview 11. Mixed interview 12. Telephonic interview Step-4 REFERENCE CHECK: Many employers request names, addresses, and telephone numbers of references for thepurpose of verifying information and perhaps, gaining additional background informationon an applicant. Although listed on the application form, references are not usuallychecked until an applicant has successfully reached the fourth stage of a sequentialselection process. When the labour market is very tight, organisations sometimes hireapplicants before checking references. Step-5 SELECTION DECISION: After obtaining information through the preceding steps, selection decision- the mostcritical of all the steps- must be made. The other stages in the selection process have beenused to narrow the number of the candidates. The final decision has to be made the poolof individuals who pas the tests, interviews and reference checks. The view of the line manager will be generally considered in the final selection because itis he/she who is responsible for the performance of the new employee. The HR managerplays a crucial role in the final selection. STEP 6: PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: After the selection decision and before the job offer is made, the candidate is required toundergo a physical fitness test. A job offer is, often, contingent upon the candidate beingdeclared fit after the physical examination. The results of the medical fitness test arerecorded in a statement and are preserved in the personnel records. There are severalobjectives behind a physical test. P-15
  24. 24. Obviously, one reason for a physical test is to detect ifthe individual carries any infectious disease. Secondly, the test assists in determiningwhether an applicant is physically fit to perform the work. Thirdly, the physicalexamination information can be used to determine if there are certain physicalcapabilities, which differentiate successful and less successful employees. Finally, such an examination will protect the employer from workers compensationclaims that are not valid because the injuries or illness were present when the employeewas hired. STEP 7: JOB OFFER: The next step in the selection process is job offer to those applicants who have crossed allthe previous hurdles. Job offer is made through a letter of appointed. Such a lettergenerally contains a date by which the appointee must report on duty. The appointee mustbe given reasonable time for reporting. Those is particularly necessary when he or she isalready in employment, in which case the appointee is required to obtain a relievingcertificate from the previous employer. The company may also want the individual to delay the date of reporting on duty. If the new employee’s first job upon joining the company is to go on company until perhaps aweek before such training begins. STEP 8: CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT: There is also a need for preparing a contract of employment. The basic information thatshould be included in a written contract of employment will vary according to the level ofthe job, but the following checklist sets out the typical headings: 1. Job title 2. Duties, including a parse such as “The employee will perform such duties and willbe responsible to such a person, as the company may from time to time direct”. 3. Date when continuous employment starts and the basis for calculating service. P-16
  25. 25. 4. Rate of pay, allowance, overtime and shift rates, method of payments. 5. Hours of work including lunch break and overtime and shift arrangements. 6. Holiday arrangements: 7. Paid holidays per year. 8. Public holidays. 9. Special terms relating to rights to patent s and designs, confidentialinformation and restraints on trade after termination of employment. The drawback with the contracts is that it is almost to enforce them. A determinedemployee is bound to leave the organisation, contract or no contract. STEP 9 CONCLUDING THE SELECTION PROCESS: Contrary to popular perception, the selection process will not end with executing theemployment contract. There is another step – amore sensitive one reassuring thosecandidates who have not selected, not because of any serious deficiencies in theirpersonality, but because their profile did not match the requirement of the organisation. They must be told that those who were selected were done purely on relative merit. STEP 10 EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROGRAMME: The broad test of the effectiveness of the selection process is the quality of thepersonnel hired. An organisation must have competent and committed personnel.
  26. 26. P-17 Difference between Recruitment and Selection: 1. Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective candidates and motivating them to apply for job in the organization. Whereas, selection is a process of choosingmost suitable candidates out of those, who are interested and also qualified for job. 2. In the recruitment process, vacancies available are finalized, publicity is given to them and applications are collected from interested candidates. In the selection process, available applications are scrutinized. Tests, interview and medical examination are conducted in order to select most suitable candidate. 3. In recruitment the purpose is to attract maximum numbers of suitable and interested candidates through applications. In selection process the purpose is that the best candidate out of those qualified and interested in the appointment. 4. Recruitment is prior to selection. It creates proper base for actual selection. Selectionis next to recruitment. It is out of candidates available/interest. 5. Recruitment is the positive function in which interested candidates are encouraged tosubmit application. Selection is a negative function in which unsuitable candidatesare eliminated and the best one is selected. 6. Recruitment is the short process. In recruitment publicity is given to vacancies andapplications are collected from different sources Selection is a lengthy process. Itinvolves scrutiny of applications, giving tests, arranging interviews and medicalexamination. 7. In recruitment services of expert is not required Whereas in selection, services ofexpert is required 8. Recruitment is not costly. Expenditure is required mainly for advertising the posts.Selection is a costly activity, as expenditure is needed for testing candidates andconduct of interviews.

  30. 30. INDUSTRY PROFILE OVERVIEW OF INDIA’S IT INDUSTRY Background: Information technology (IT) industry in India has played a key role in putting India on the global map. IT industry in India has been one of the most significant growth contributors for the Indian economy. The industry has played a significant role in transforming India’s image from a slow moving bureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs and a global player in providing world class technology solutions and business services. The industry has helped India transform from a rural and agriculture-based economy to a knowledge based economy. IT industry in India is an industry consisting of two major components: IT services and business process outsourcing (BPO). The sector has increased its contribution to India’s GDP from 1.2% in 1998 to 7.5% in 2012. According to NASSCOM, the sector aggregated revenues of US$ 147 billion in 2015, where export revenue stood at US$ 99 billion and domestic at US$ 48 billion, growing by over 13%. India’s Prime Minister NarendraModi has started ‘Digital India’ project to give IT a secured position inside & outside India. History: Information technology is playing an important role in India today and has transformed India’s image from a slow moving bureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs. The IT sector in India is generating 2.5 million direct employments. India is now one of the biggest IT capitals of the modern world and the entire major players in the world IT sector are present in the country. Bangalore is considered to be the silicon valley of India because it is the leading It exporter. Exports dominate the industry and constitute about 77% of the total industry revenue. However, the domestic market is also significant with a robust revenue growth. The industry’s share of total Indian exports (merchandise plus service) increased from less than 4% in FY1998 to about 25% in FY2012. P-20
  31. 31. VSNL introduced Gateway Electronic Mail Service in 1991, the 64 Kbit/s leased line service in 1992, and commercial Internet access on a visible scale in 1992. The Indian economy underwent economic reforms in 1991, leading to a new era of globalization and international economic integration. “The New telecommunications policy, 1999” (NTP 1999) helped further liberalize India’s telecommunication sector. The Information technology Act 2000 created legal procedures for electronic transactions and e-commerce. Research & Development: To support Research & development in the country and promoting Start-ups focussed on technology and innovation, a weighted deduction of 150% of expenditure incurred on in-house R&D is introduced under the Income Tax Ac. In addition to the existing scheme for funding various R&D projects have been funded through new scheme like Support International Patent Protection in Electronics & IT (SIP-EIT), Multiplier Grants Scheme (MGS). The government has initiated the setting up of an Open Technology Centre through NIC aimed at giving effective direction to the country on Open Technology in the areas of Open Source Solutions, (OSS), Open Standard, Open Processes, Open Hardware specifications and Open Course-ware. This initiative will act as a National Knowledge facility providing synergy to the overall components of Open Technology globally. Recent Development: The biggest economic effect of the technologically inclined services in India- accounting for 40% of the country’s GDP and 30% of export earnings as of 2006, while employing only 25% of its workforce. Today, Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India and contributes 33% of Indian IT exports. Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), the capital of Kerala state, is the foremost among the Tier-II cities that is rapidly growing in terms of IT infrastructure. As the software hub of Kerala, more than 80% of the state’s software exports are from here. P-21

Regulations: After the economic reforms of 1991-92, liberalization of external trade, elimination of duties on imports of information technology products, relaxation of controls on both inward and outward investments and foreign exchange and the fiscal measures taken by the Government of India and the individual State Governments specifically for IT and ITES have been major contributory factors for the sector to flourish in India and for the country to be able to acquire a dominant position in offshore services in the world. The major fiscal incentives provided by the Government of India have been for the Export Oriented Units (EOU), Software Technology Parks (STP), and Special Economic Zones (SEZ). Challenges: Cyber security and quality management are few key areas of concern in today’s information age. To overcome such concerns in today’s global IT scenario, an increasing number of IT-BPO companies in India have gradually started to emphasize on quality to adopt global standards such as ISO 9001 (for Quality Management) and ISO 27000 (for Information Security). Todaycentres based in India account for the largest number of quality certifications achieved by any single country. India aims to transform India into a truly developed and empowered society by 2020. However, to achieve this growth, the sector has to continue to re-invent itself and strive for that extra mile, through new business models, global delivery, partnerships and transformation. A collaborative effort from all stakeholders will be needed to ensure future growth of India’s IT-ITeS sector. We will need to rise up to the new challenges and put in dedicated efforts toward providing more and more of end-to-end solutions to the clients to keep the momentum going. India is now one of the biggest IT capitals in the modern world and has presence of all the major players in the world IT sector. HCL, Wipro, Infosys and TCS are few of the household names of IT companies in India. P-22
  33. 33. Future prospects: Globalization has had a profound impact in shaping the Indian Information Technology industry. Over the years, verticals like manufacturing, telecom, insurance, banking, finance and lately the retail, have been the growth drivers for this sector. But it is very fast getting clear that the future growth of IT and IT enabled services will be fuelled by the verticals of climate change, mobile applications, healthcare, energy efficiency and sustainable energy. The near future of Indian IT industry sees a significant rise in share of technology spend as more and more service providers both Indian and global target new segments and provide low cost, flexible solutions to customers. By 2015, IT sector is expected to generate revenues of USD 130 billion (NASSCOM) which will create a transformational impact on the overall economy. IT spending is expected to significantly increase in verticals like automotive and healthcare while the government, with its focus on e- governance, will continue to be a major spender. However, to achieve this growth, the sector has to continue to re-invent itself and strive for that extra mile, through new business models, global delivery, partnerships and transformation. A collaborative effort from all stakeholders will be needed to ensure future growth of India’s IT-ITeS sector. We will need to rise up to the new challenges and put in dedicated efforts toward providing more and more of end-to-end solutions to the clients to keep the momentum going. P-23

  72. 72. SUGGESTION From the findings I can suggest CNC Web World, Pune branch following things for the more effectiveness of recruitment and selection process and HR policies: Recruitment must be done by analysing the job firstly which will make it easier and will be beneficial from the company’s point of view. More emphasis should be given on internet and advertisement so that more and more candidates apply for the jobs and it will be easy to find the right employee among them. The recruitment and selection procedure should not be too lengthy and time consuming. Company should try to use the internal recruitment process first because it incurs less cost and acts as a motivational factor to the employees. Provide training to employees so that they get better knowledge, skills and attitude. Company should amend some parts of their HR policies for better effectiveness. P-55
