II. Project Synopsis Details
Title of the project : RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
Objectives of the project
The basic objective of this report is to study Recruitment and selection process following fundamental objectives
have been identified as the sub-objectives of the study:- 1. To study the recruitment & selection process in the
organization as a whole. 2. To find out the employees as per company’s vacancies. 3. To find out the various sources
of advertisement of vacancies like-media (electronic or paper or both), schools, posters etc. 4. To study the work
environment and select the pattern of interview, which can help out to select the suitable employee for the
organization. 5. To study the interpersonal relationship. 6. .To study the recruitment and selection process in the
organization.
Problem Statement
Demerits (i) Limited choice: The organization is forced to select candidates from a limited pool. It may have to
sacrifice quality and settle for less qualified candidates. (ii) Inbreeding: It discourages entry of talented people,
available outside an organization. Existing employees may fail to behave in innovative ways and inject necessary
dynamism to enterprise activities. (iii) Inefficiency: Promotions based on length of service rather than merit, may
prove to be a blessing for inefficient candidates. They do not work hard and prove their worth. (iv) Bone of
contention: Recruitment from within may lead to infighting among employees aspiring for limited, higher-level
positions in an organization. As years roll by, the race for premium positions may end up on a bitter note.

6. Methodology to be used
METHODS OF RECRUITMENT INTERNAL METHODS: 1. Promotions and Transfers 2. Job Posting 3.
Employee Referrals External (direct) Methods : Campus Recruitment . The Internal Recruitment Process does not
have just benefits; this process has some disadvantages as well. The Internal Recruitment Process is a very powerful
tool, but it can be misused in hands of some employees and managers. The Internal Recruitment Process is not a
process to steal the best employees from their departments. These employees should be treated as a very scarce
resource and the internal recruitment procedures should work differently for them. Right Internal Recruitment Job
Posting :- The Internal Recruitment Job Posting is a key to the fair, transparent and efficient internal recruitment
process. The issue is to let the employees know about new vacant positions and on the other hand not to over-
communicate the vacancies in the organization.
