7. Executive Summary
The project report is about recruitment and selection process that’s an important part of any
organization. Which is considered as a necessary asset of a company? In fact, recruitment and
selection gives a home ground to the organization acumen that is needed for proper
functioning of the organization.
It gives a organizational structure of the company. It’s a methodology in which the particular
organization works and how a new candidate could be recruited in such a way that he/she
would be fitted for the right kind of career.
There are two types of factors that affect the Recruitment of candidates for the company
The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully
perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. Selection process or activities typically
follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial screening interview and concluding with
final employment decision.
Human Resource plays a crucial role in the development process of the modern economics.
ARTHUR LEWIS observed
“There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have roughly
equal resources, so it is necessary to enquire into the difference in human behaviors”
Human resource management is the management of employee’s skill, knowledge abilities,
talent, aptitude, creativity, ability etc. different terms are used for denoting Human Resource
Management.
They are labor management, labor administration, labor management relationship, employee
–employer relationship, industrial relationship, human capital management, human assent
management etc. Though these terms can be used differently widely, the basic nature of
distinction lies in the scope or coverage and evolutionary stage. In simple sense, human
resource management means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing,
8. maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational
requirements.
Administration:
Strategic planning, organizational evaluation, County Board relations, policy
recommendations, supervision of department staff
Benefits:
Health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, retirement benefits,
vacation, sick leave, paid holidays, section 125 plan, donor program, educational incentive,
uniform allowance, and others.
Recruitment:
Recruitment is defined as a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the
requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures fir meet the
requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ to employ effective measures for
attracting the manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an effective
workforce.
Selection:
After identifying the sources of human resources, searching for prospective employees and
stimulation helps to apply for jobs in an organization, the management has to perform the
function of selecting the right man at right job and at the right time.
Separations and terminations:
Rights upon termination of employment, severance benefits, unemployment compensation,
exit interviews.
County-wide needs assessment, development of supervisory and management skills,
employee training and workshops. Benefits orientation for new and transferring employees,
Supervisory newsletter.
1: Attract highly qualified and competent people
2: Ensure that’s the selected candidate stays longer with the company.
3: Make sure that there is match between cost and benefit.
4: Helps organization to create more culturally diverse workforce
Whereas, the poor quality of selection means extra cost on training and supervision, when
recruitment fails to meet organizational needs for talent, a typically response is to raise entry
level pay scales. This can distort traditional wages and salary relationship in organization,
resulting in unavoidable consequences. Thus the effectiveness of the recruitment process can
play a major role in determining the resources that must be expended on other HR activates
and their ultimate success.

11. 1. INTRODUCTION
Human Resource is a basic need of any work to be done. According to ARTHUR LEWIS:
“There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have roughly

qualified candidate.
It is said if right person is appointed at right place the half work has been done. In this project
I have tried to cover all the important point that should be kept in mind while recruitment and
selection process and have conducted a research study through a questionnaire that I got it
filled with all the sales managers of the INDO PUMP PVT.LTD. and tried to find out which
methods and various other information related to recruitment and selection and tries to come
to a conclusion at what time mostly the manpower planning is don’t , what the various
method used for recruiting the candidates and on what basic the selections is done.

16. INDUSTRY PROFILE
In India the manufacture of pumps has by now a history of nearly eighty years. Pumps being
the basic equipment for every sphere of the national economy, the Indian pump industry has
in its own growth, contributed immensely to the economic growth of the country. The
enterprise in the Indian pump industry merits appreciation for the achievements of prompt
and competent indigenization of almost every type of pump, of pumps in gigantic sizes, of
pumps of a variety of constructional features and operational sophistications and of pumps in
a variety of materials of construction. The industry has over the years built up great potentials
to meet challenges. It has also worked with good foresight and resilience to adapt to emerging
trends, be it the compliance with the requirements of the Quality systems as per the ISO 9000
series of standards or the exposure to the global competition, prompted by the liberalization
of the economy.
It is estimated that the production of pumps in the country is presently of the order of Rs.
1200 crores, contributed by some one million pumps per year, produced by some 500 odd
manufacturers of large, medium and small scales.
The following review surveys some notable achievements and developments of pumps and of
the capabilities of the Indian pump industry to fulfill the country's domestic demand from
various sectors.
18. COMPANY PROFILE
History of the organization.
INDO PUMP was born out of the necessity of a forward integration of its mother
company MARUTI SEALS, manufacturing high quality mechanical seals of all varieties for
all capacity ratings of pumps, since 1990. Maruti Seals have wide experience, not only in
their own product lines, but also in allied lines of pump manufacturing and maintenance. This
prompted the company to go for a forward integration to special pump manufacturing - Indo
Pump. The setup at Indo Pump is self sustaining and starts with the premise that basic quality
of any product is hidden in its design. Thus, Indo Pump has a full fledged design department,
engaged not only in new pump designs, but also in continuous up gradation.

25. 4. REASERCH METHODOLOGY
Research is common parlance refers to a search for knowledge .Once can also define research
as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact,
research is an art of scientific investigation .The Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of current
English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation or inquiry specially
through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge “
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense.
According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems,
formulating and hypothesis is or suggested solution ;collecting ,organizing & evaluating data
;making deduction & reaching conclusions; and at least carefully testing in the conclusions
to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis . D.Slesinger & M.Stephenson in the
Encyclopedia of Social Sciences extent, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge
aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an art.
Objective of Research:
The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application scientific
procedure the main of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been
discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose ,we may think of
research objectives as falling into a number of following broad grouping:
1. To gain familiarity with the phenomenon to achieve new insights into it.
2. To portray quarterly the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group.
3. Determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated
with something else
4. To test a hypothesis causal relationship between variables.
Types of Research:
The basic types of are as follows:
1. Descriptive V/s Analytical :
Descriptive research includes serves and fact finding enquiries of different kinds .the
major purpose of descriptive research is description of state of affairs as it exists at
present.
2. Applied V/s Fundamental:
Applied research aims at finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a
society or an industrial/organization where as fundamental research is mainly
concern with generalizations & with the formulation of a theory.
26. 3. Quantitative V/s Qualitative:
Quantitative is base on the measurement of Quantity or amount .Qualitative research is
concern with the qualitative phenomenon i.e. phenomenon relating to or involving quality or
kind.
In everyday life human being has to face many problems viz. social, economical, financial
problems. These problems in life call for acceptable and effective solutions and for this
purpose, research is required and a methodology applied for the solutions can be found out.
DATA COLLECTION:
Primary Data:
Primary data was collected through survey method by distributing questionnaires to branch
manager and other sales manager. The questionnaires were carefully designed by taking into
account the parameters of my study.
Secondary Data:
Data was collected from books, magazines, web sites, going through the records of the
organization, etc. It is the data which has been collected by individual or someone else for the
purpose of other than those of our particular research study. Or in other words we can say that
secondary data is the data used previously for the analysis and the results are undertaken for
the next process.
INDOPUMP PVT. LTD. use both primary and secondary data for data collection.
27. Sample Size
Sample can be defined as the selection of a part or a group or an aggregate with a view in
obtaining information about the whole population.
For knowing the mind share of different brands we should target more population but because
of lack of time we took sample of 54 employees of INDOPUMP among them 2 are HR
manager & 2 are executive HR Managers of INDO PUMP PVT.LTD.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire is the most common tool in collecting data, so it should be carefully
developed, tested and debugged before they are administered on a large scale.
ResearchInstrument
Questionnaires and information from the management
Analyzing The Information:-
For analyzing the data, which gather, first we need to arrange that in table as the
questionnaire; it was mainly open ended so we had not face much problem.
Data Tabulation:-
We arrange the data in the form of table.
Analysis:-
After tabulation we analyze the data with the help of pie chart because in pie chart it was easy
to understand everything in percentage as well as it gives better picture.
29. 5. RECRUITMENT
“Hiring” of employees from outside. Recruitment has been regarded as the most important
function of the HR department , because unless the right type of people are hired, even the
best plans, organization chart and control system would not do much good.
Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicant for actual or anticipated organizational
vacancies. Accordingly the purpose of recruitment is to locate sources of manpower to meet
the job requirements and job specification.
It is defined as „ a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of
staffing schedule and to apply effective measures for attracting the manpower to adequate
number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce
Yoder points out that recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet
the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employee effective measures to attracting that
manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce.
Edwin B Flippo defines recruitment as „the process of searching for prospective employees
and stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization.
“It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process
begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their application are submitted. The
result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.”
Methods of Recruitment
Dunn and Stephens summaries the possible recruiting methods into three categories, namely
1: Direct method
2: Indirect method
3: Third party method
DIRECT METHOD
The direct method includes sending of the recruiters to different educational and professional
institutions, employees contact with public, and mannered exhibits. One of the widely used
methods is sending the recruiters to different colleges and technical schools. This is mainly
done with the corporation of the placement office of the college. Sometimes, firms directly
solicit information from the concerned professors about student with an outstanding records.
Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars, setting up
exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go the desired centers.
30. INDIRECT METHOD
Indirect method involves mainly advertising in newspapers, on the radios, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and brochures ETC.
EXA- Advertisements
Advertisements in newspapers and or trade journals and magazines are the most frequently
used methods. Senior post is largely filled with such methods. Advertising is a very useful for
recruiting blue color and hourly worker, as well as scientific, professional, and technical
employees.
Local newspaper can be good sources of blue collar workers, clerical employees, and lower
level administrative employees.
The main point is that the higher the position in the organization the more dispersed
advertisement is likely to be. The search for the top executive might include advertisement in
a national periodical, whereas the advertisement of the blue color jobs usually confine to the
daily newspaper.
According to the Advertisement tactic and strategy in personnel Recruitment, three main
points need to be borne in the mind before an advertisement in inserted.
First, to visualize the type of applicants one is trying to recruit.
Second, to write out a list of advantages the company offers, or why should the reader join
the company.
Third, to decide where to run the advertisement , not only in which area, but also in which
newspaper having a local, state or a nation- wide circulation.
THRID PARTY
These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies, and
placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations recruiting firms,
management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, and friends and
relatives.
Private employment agencies are the most widely used sources. They charge a small fee from
the applicant. They specialize in specific occupation; general office help, salesmen, technical
workers, accountant, computer staff, engineers and executives.
State or public employment agencies are also known as the employment or labor exchanges,
are the main agencies for the public employment. Employers inform them of their personnel
requirement, while job seekers get information for them about the type of job are referred by
the employer.
Schools and colleges offer opportunities for recruiting their student. They operate placement
services where complete bio data and other particular of the student are available.
Professional organization or recruiting firms maintain complete information records about
employed executive. These firms maintain complete information records about employed
executives. These firms are looked upon as the head hunters ,raiders, and „pirates by
organization which lose their personnel through their efforts.
31. Evaluation of the recruitment method
The following are the evaluation of the recruitment method
1: Number of initial enquires received which resulted in completed application forms
2: Number of candidates recruited.
3: Number of candidates retained in the organization after six months.

especially
those short listed.

organization strategies.
2: To induct outsider with new perspective to lead the company.
3: To infuse fresh blood at all levels of organization.
4: To develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company.
5: To search or headhunt people whose skill fit the companies values.
6: To seek out non-conventional development grounds of talent.
7: To devise methodology for assessing psychological traits.
8: To search for talent globally not just within the company.
9: To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum.
10: To anticipate and find people for position that doesn’t exists yet.
Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is
through recruitment that many individuals come to know about the company and eventually
decide whether they wish to work for it. The recruitment process should inform qualified
individuals about the job so that applicant can make comparison with their qualification and
interest.
32. Factors affecting Recruitment

1: Internal factors: These includes
- Company’s pay package

33. Theories Regarding Recruitment
Recruitment is two way street: it takes a recruiter has a choice whom to recruit, same way the
prospective employee also has taken the decision whether or not to apply for the given job
vacancy. The individual take the decision usually on three different basic:
1: The objective factors.
2: The critical contact.
3: The subjective factor.
The objectives theory views that the process of organizational choice as being one of
weighing and evaluating set of measurable characteristic of employment offers, such pay,
benefits , location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of job to performed, and
education opportunities.
Whereas, the critical contact theory suggests that the typical candidates are unable to make
a meaningful differentiation of organizations offers in terms of objective or subjective
factors, because of his limited or very short contact with the organization. Choice can be
made only when applicant can readily perceive the factors such as the behavior of the
recruiters, the nature of the physical facilities, and such as the efficiency in processing paper
work association with the application.
On the other hand, the subjective theory emphasizes the congruence. Here the choices are
made on highly personal and emotional basis.

63. 7. FINDINGS
The Present recruitment process is quite lengthy.
While going through the process these observe that scrutiny of the application is done on
the basis of available return sources.
The external sources of recruitment was quite expensive and time consuming.
65. 8. LIMITATIONS
The sample consisted only of employees in the day shift. Employees of the night
Shift were not considered for the purpose of study.
There is no concrete basis to prove the response given is a true measure of the
Opinion of all the employees as a whole.
Convenient sampling was used as the mode of conducting the research.
The questionnaire contained mostly multiple-choice questions; therefore many
Respondents may not have given a proper thought before answering the questions.
The response of the respondents may not be accurate thinking that the
Management might misuse the data.
Almost respondents might be influenced by their peers in answering the questions.
Due to the fact that most of the respondents were young, the questions might not
have been answered with due sincerity.
67. 10. CONCLUSION
The conclusion is drawn from the study and survey of the company regarding the Recruitment
and Selection process carried out there. The recruitment process at INDO PUMP PVT.LTD.to
some extent is not done objectively and therefore lot of bias hampers the future of the employees.
That is why the search or headhunt of people should be of those whose skill fits into the
company’s values.
Most of the employees were satisfied but changes are required according to the changing scenario
as recruitment process has a great impact on the working of the company as a fresh blood, new
idea enters in the company.
Selection process is good but it should also be modified according to the requirements and should
job profile so that main objective of selecting the candidate could be achieved.
69. 9. SUGGESIONS
Manpower requirement for each department in the company do identified well in
advance.
If the manpower requirement is high and the recruitment team of the HR department
alone can satisfy it, but help from the placement agencies is needed for the expertise
decision.
Time management is very essential as it is ignored somewhere at any level of the
process do concentrate for the remedial steps.
The recruitment and selection procedure is lengthy and quit time consuming do
reduce the process.
71. 10. LEARNING FROM PROJECT
From this project i have learned whole recruitment & selection process of the INDOPUMP
Company. Also I have understood the satisfaction level of the employees of INDOPUMP
towards the recruitment & selection process followed by the company.
Especially I got the practical knowledge of corporate & actual culture of the company which
will definitely help me in future for smooth working in the organization.
Most important thing while project was going on I have learned many things from the HR
manager of the company like how they takes the decision regarding delegation of authority,
how to motivate employees for the work & How should be the attitude of HR manager in the
organization.
