ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
A few typewritten words of thanks cannot really express the sincerity of my gratitude.
But I am still trying to put into words my gratefulness towards all who have helped and
encouraged me in carrying out this project. This project of mine bears the imprint of
many people who have an important impact on my thinking, behavior, and acts during
the course of study.
First of all we would like to take this opportunity to thank the LOVELY
PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY for having summer training as a part of the MBA
degree. The accomplishment of this project otherwise would have been painstaking
endeavor, for lack of staunch and sincere support of the Mittal School of Business, LPU.
The incessant and undeterred succors extended by the members of the department
facilitated the job to the great extent. If this goes unnoticed and unacknowledged it
would be selfishness.
Many people have influenced the shape and content of this project, and many supported
me throughout. I express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Mahesh Kumar, Associate HR,
Himalaya Wellness, who was available for help whenever I required, his guidance,
gentle persuasion and active support has made it possible to complete this project.
I also owe my thanks to my respondents who gave their great contributions in getting
my questionnaires fulfilled. I have immensely benefitted from my interactions with my
friends and I acknowledge their contributions to my learning.
In the end, I can say only this much that “ALL ARE NOT MENTIONED, BUT
NONE IS FORGOTTEN”.
Last but not the least I would like to thank GOD, who continues to look after us despite
all our flaws.

CHAPTER 1- INTRODUCTION OF ORGANISATION
Himalaya Wellness, formerly known as The Himalaya Drug Company is an
Indian multinational pharmaceutical company established by Mohammed Manal
in 1930 and based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. It produces health care
products under the name Himalaya Herbal Healthcare whose products include
ayurvedic ingredients. It is spread across locations in India, United States, Middle
East, Asia, Europe and Oceania, while its products are sold in 106 countries
across the world. The company has more than 290 researchers that utilize
ayurvedic herbs and minerals. A Hepatic drug, named Liv.52, is its flagship
product, first introduced in 1955.
History: While riding through the forest of Burma, founder Mr. Mohammed
Manal, saw a villager pacify a restless elephant by feeding it the root of the plant
Rauwolfia serpentina. Fascinated by the plant’s effect on the elephant, he returned
home to India to seek scientific evidence for why this particular plant would have
such a beneficial, calming effect.
Once he fully understood the science behind this special botanical, Mr. Manal
bought a hand operated, tablet compressing machine and began his work. At
night, his shoulders would ache from producing a few hundred tablets, one small
tablet at a time. But his hard work paid off. This remarkable plant would later
become Serina, the world’s first anti-hypertensive drug in 1934.
Mr. Manal had a vision of helping people be well. Today, Himalaya Wellness has
turned a time honoured herbal tradition into a complete range of contemporary,
proprietary formulas and single herbs dedicated in creating a Global Brand.
Founded in 1930, the Himalaya legacy now spans over 90 years, stretching from
one man, to his son, to his grandson. From humble beginnings in India,

CHAPTER 2- Introduction to Topic
Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organization's
success. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive and the available
skills grow more diverse, recruiters need to be more selective in their choices,
since poor recruiting decisions can produce long-termnegative effects, among
them high training and development costs to minimize the incidence of poor
performance and high turnover which, in turn, impact staff morale, the
production of high quality goods and services and the retention of
organizational memory. At worst, the organization can fail to achieve its
objectives thereby losing its competitive edge and its share ofthe market.
Human resource department plays a crucial role in this process. The backbone
of any successful company is the HR department, and without a talented group
of people to hire, culture, and inform employees, the company is doomed for
failure.
Human resource is most valuable assets in the organization. Profitability of the
organization depends on its utilization. If there utilization is done properly will
make profit otherwise it will make loss. To procure right man at right place in
right time, some information regarding job andjob doer is highly essential.
This information is obtained through job analysis, job description and job
specification. Without these recruitment will be unsuccessful.
A well planned and well managed recruitment will result in high quality
applicants for the company. The recruitment process should inform qualified
individuals about employment opportunities, create a positive image of the
company, provide enough information of the jobsso that applicants can make
comparison with their qualifications and interests and generate enthusiasm
among the best candidates so that they will apply for vacant positions.

11
What distinguishes a successful company from unsuccessful one is the quality
of manpower. The role of management is to optimize the use of resource
available to it. The role of HR is to incorporate the planning and control of
manpower resource into the corporate level plans so thatall resources are used
together in the best possible combination.
Managing people at work and control of human activities in employment is a
function that must be performed in all societies. It is essential in every type of
employment for every occupation and every type of employed manpower.
Manpower management is essential in government as well as private
employment under socialism or communication in small business and in large.
Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the
activities that impact most critically on the performance of an organization.
While it is understood and accepted that poor recruitment decisions continue
to affect organizational performance and limit goal achievement, it is taking a
long time for public service agencies in many jurisdictions to identifyand
implement new, effective hiring strategies.
Recruitment is a process which provides the organization with a pool of
potentially qualified job candidates from which judicious selection can be
made to fill vacancies. Successful recruitment begins with proper employment
planning and forecasting. In this phase of the staffing process, an organization
formulates plans to fill or eliminate future job openings based on an analysis
of future needs, the talent available within and outside of the organization, and
the current and anticipated resources that can be expended to attract and retain
such talent.
Selection is a process of hiring the best among the pool of candidates available.
‘Right person for the right job’ is the basic principle in recruitment and
selection. Every organization should give attention to the selection of its
manpower, especially its managers.

12
Theoperative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly
working of an enterprise. Every business organization/unit needs manpower
for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this
recruitment and selection of suitable candidates is essential. Human resource
management in an organization will not be possible if unsuitable persons are
selected and employment in a business unit.
RECRUITMENT refers to the process of attracting, screening, andselecting
qualified people for a job at an organization or firm.
Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcingthe
candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many
resources and time.
A General Recruitment Process is as follows-
1) Identifying the vacancy: The recruitment process begins withthe
human resource department receiving requisitions for recruitment
from any department of the company.
2) Preparing the job description and person specification.
3) Locating and developing the sources of required number andtype of
employees.
4) Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee withrequired
characteristics.
5) Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.
6) Conducting the interview and decision making.

13
Recruitment is a continuous process because of:
1. Staff departures
2. Changes in business requirements
3. Changes in business location
4. Promotions
5. Transfers
Objectives of the Recruitment process:
 To obtain the number and quality of employees who can be selected in
order to help the organization achieve its goals andobjectives.
 It helps to create a pool of prospective employees for the
organization so that the management can select the rightcandidate
for the right job from this pool.
 To induct the outsiders with new perspectives to lead thecompany.
 To recruit candidates whose skills meet the company values.
 To search for talent globally.
Factors affecting Recruitment:
1. The size of the organization.
2. The employment conditions in the community where the
organization is located.
3. The effects of past recruiting efforts which depicts the
organization’s ability to locate and retain the best performing
candidates/employees.
4. Working conditions, salary and benefit packages offered by the
organization.
5. Rate of growth of the organization.

14
6. The future expansion and production programs.
7. Cultural, economic and legal factors.
Internal Factors:
 Recruitment policy of the organization.
 Human Resource planning strategy of the company.
 Cost involved in recruiting process.
 Growth and expansion plans.
 Quality of work life.
External Factors:
 Supply and demand of specific skills in the labor market.
 Political and legal factors like reservations for jobs.
 Labor market conditions.
 The job seekers perception towards the company.
Sources of Recruitment:
Internal Sources- The most common internal sources of recruitmentare as
follows-
i. Promotions- The promotion policy is followed as a motivational
technique for the employees who work hard and show good
performance. Promotion results in enhancements in pay, position,
responsibility and authority.The important requirement for
implementation of the promotion policy is that the terms, conditions,
rules and regulations should be well-defined.

15
ii. Personal References- The existing employees will probablyknow
their friends or relatives or colleagues who could successfully fill
the vacancy. Approaching them may be highly efficient method of
recruitment.
iii. Notice Boards- This is the convenient and simple method of passing
on important messages to the existing staff. A job advertisement
pinned to a notice board will probably be seen and read by a
sufficient number of appropriate employees at little or no cost. A
notice board must be ensured that is well sited.
Attention must be paid to the design and contents of the notice if it is
to catch the eye andmake the employee read on and then apply for the
job.
iv. Transfers- Employees may be transferred from one department to
another wherever the post becomes vacant.
v. Internal Advertisement- The existing employees may be interested in
taking up the vacant jobs. As they are working in the company since
long time, they would definitely be aware of the specification and
description of the vacant job.For their benefit, the advertisement
within the company is circulated so that the employees will be
intimated.
External Sources-
i) Press Advertisement- A wide choice for selecting the appropriate
candidates for the post/job is available throughthis source. It gives
publicity to the vacant posts and the details about the job in the form
of job description and job specification are made available to public
in general.

16
ii) Campus Interviews- It is the best possible method for companies to
select students from various educational institutions. It is easy and
economical. The company officials personally visit various institutes
and select students eligible for a particular job through interviews.
iii) Placement Agencies- A databank of candidates is sent to
organizations for their selection purpose and agencies get
commission in return.
iv) Walk in Interviews- These interviews are scheduled by companies
for a specific date and time and are conductedfor selection of the
candidates.
v) E-recruitment- Various sites such as jobs.com, naukri.com and
monster.com are the available electronic sites on whichcandidates
can upload their resume and seek the jobs.
vi) Competitors- By offering better terms and conditions of service, the
HR managers try to get the employees workingin the competitor’s
organization.
SELECTION
The Selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about
the applicant. This information is secured in number of steps. The main
objective of the selection process is to determine whether an applicant meets the
qualifications for a specific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to
perform well.

17
Basic Process of Selection in HRM involves 7 Steps:
1. Preliminary Interview or Screening- It is the first step in
selection. Initial screening is done in this step and all the undesirable
applicants are weeded out. This interview is generally conducted by
lower level executives. This processscreens the most obvious
misfits.
2. Screening of Applicants- Once the filled applications are brought to
the screening committee, it checks the details andcalls the candidate
for selection test.
3. Employment Tests- These tests are a conducted to check the real
knowledge of candidates for the respective jobs. These tests are very
specific as they enable the management to bringout right type of people
for the jobs.
4. Selection Interview- Interview is an examination of candidate where he
sits face to face with the selection body and answersto the questions put
up most commonly about his skills, abilities and the requirements of the
job. Interview gives the recruiter an opportunity to:
 Assess subjective of the candidate.
 Evaluate his enthusiasm and intelligence.
 Ask questions which were not a part of his application. Insimple,
practical questions or out of the box questions.
 Obtain as much as information from him with regard tohis
economic, social and cultural background.

18
Types of Interviews:
1. One on one interview
2. Informal interview
3. Panel interview
4. Direct interview
5. Patterned interview
6. Indirect interview
7. Stress interview
8. Depth interview
9. Exit interview
5. Checking of References- Once the candidates interview is over,the
reference he had mentioned are checked by the personnel department.
His old employees may be asked some quick questions on phone about
the candidate’s behavior with co- workers, management etc.
6. Medical Examination- After a candidate has been approved forthe job,
his physical fitness is examined through medical specialists of the
company. If the report says that he or she is medically fit for the job,
they are then finally selected. In case there is a problem with fitness, the
candidates are given reasons for rejection.
7. Final Selection/Hiring- The line managers are then asked to give final
decision after all technical and medical tests are cleared by the
candidate. A true understanding between the line manager and the HR
manager facilitates good selection. Therefore, the two together take
final decision and intimate itto the candidate. The HR department may
immediately send appointment letter to the candidate.

19
CHAPTER 3- REVIEW OF LITERATURE
1. Best Practice Recruitment and Selection
The State Services Authority (the Authority) undertook a project in 2007 to
evaluate the effectiveness of recruitment selection techniques in the
Victorian Government.
The project aims to:
• Promote the systematic review of current recruitment selection techniques
in the VPS
• Develop recommendations for the use of better practice tools, based
on research andcase studies
• Promote better selection techniques to improve the quality and
speed of recruitmentactions within the VPS and the public sector.
• After the completion of the program the authority decided to adopt
the PracticeRecruitment and Selection Toolkit and develop a
training program which will help in
the execution of this toolkit. The training program guides participants
through best practice recruitment and selection using course booklets,
PowerPoint presentations, practical exercises and additional reference
material. The similar is the direction of my project wherein I have to
suggest various measures through which the HR department atNFCL
can practice the recruitment and selection process in the best efficient
manner. The HR department should be aware of the recent trends in
Recruitment and Selectionso as to adopt them whenever required. They
should be given proper training in adopting various trends in the
process.

2. Recruitment and
Selection
By: - Duncan
Brodie
The literature states about the problems faced by the organizations at the time
of selecting the right candidate for a particular position and the various ways
the organizations can overcome these problems.
• Train those recruiting- It is necessary for the organizations to train
those people who are involved in the process of recruitment and
selection, so that they take right decisions. They should be provided
with sufficient training so that they are confident about their decisions
• Be clear on what you are looking for- If you are going to get the
right person for the job, you need to be clear on the skills,
qualifications, experience, personal attributes and qualities that the
right candidate will have.
• Select The Most Appropriate Source for Securing Applicants- The
key point here is to be sure you are choosing the right place to
advertise. Sometimes a local newspaper will work. At other times, you
may need to go to specialist publication or a recruitment consultant.
• Establish A Clear Framework For Short listing- The framework for
short listing the candidate should be clear to the recruiters and also to
the candidates.
• Consider the Best Option for Selecting Candidates- In some cases
you might just gofor a traditional interview and possibly add in a
presentation. Otherwise the organization can adopt any other
method of which they are more confident.
• Remain Open Minded- Often people jump to conclusions about
candidates within minutes. Remember some of the best candidates
might take a few minutes to get warmed up so don't discount people
too quickly.

21
• Be Professional- When interviewing you are representing your
organization, its values, and beliefs. Today's candidate if they don't
get the job could be a customer or supplier in the future so give the
best impression you can.
• Give Feedback- Candidates takes good time in preparing
themselves for the interviews therefore the recruiters should also take
out the time for giving them feedback whether they are successful or
unsuccessful candidates.
3. Recruitment and Selection – Reasons for its Importance
By:- Abhishek
The literature states about the importance of the recruitment and selection
procedure and how even a small mistake at the time of selecting the candidate can
harm the organization. Any successful business will have at its core efficient and
caring employees who have complete job satisfaction and a perfect fit for the jobs
they are entrusted with. This is not an easy task to accomplish and full credit goes
to the selection and recruitment processes that the company has in place. On the
contrary, if these processes are not handled efficiently, the wrong sort of lethargic
employee appointments can prove fatal even to a well established business. It is
of utmost importance for an employer to be absolutely clear on what they expect
an employee tobe. The skills required for the job should be enumerated as
precisely as possible. Transferable skills which the company could use also
deserve a mention. So the chances of zeroing in on the right candidate increase
greatly if the vacancy advertised is very specific as to the requirements. If
recruitment agency service is opted for by the employer, the agency or the
consultant should get very precise instructions from the employer. It is necessary
that an exact framework for short listing applicants for a vacancy is formulated
in advance.
This is the first step of the selection and recruitment process. This entails that the
employers are very clear as to what sortof qualifications and experience they
expect to see on the CV of the potential employee. The process of selection and
recruitment needs to spell out very clearly the absolute requirements vis-à-vis
qualifications and qualities necessary to fill the vacancy. Based on this one can
shortlist the candidate. The next step is to take a decision on the number of
interviews and/or presentation needed to finally select the employee.

22
If the employers give very concise and accurate description of what they expect
the employees to be, the recruitment consultant or the agency can choose a
candidate very easily. The recruitment consultant or the agency also needs to have
knowledge of the employer's in-built processes of selection of the right
candidates. Finally, it is in the fitness of things that a feedback is provided on the
interview by the interviewer either to the applicant or the agency through which
he has come.
Behind every attrition there is recruitment! Whenever an employee leaves
an organization without informing and without giving notice or leaves the
organization in the middle of the project it should be known that he or she is
joining some other organization. Many times the employees of the recruitment
consultants are hired by their own clients and are asked to join at avery short
notice period. They are been told that “relieving letter” is not required and
some even offer incentives for early joining. There must be some guidelines
and ethics for recruitment so that there can be fair recruitment policies. There
must be some ethical guidelines such as
a) Notice period must be served and nobody must be hired without
relieving letter or providing proof of serving the notice period.
b) Corporate should not hire anyone who has spent less than one year in his
current organization. The logic is obvious. Employees six months to
begin their contribution and at least one year is required to recover
recruitment process. More importantly if somebody is hired who has
worked less than a year with the current organization, that individual will
ditch in even shorter period.
c) Corporate should not head hunting from competition. They should
advertise and encourage employees seeking change to voluntarily
respond to this advertisement.

23
d) Corporate should not bail out the prospective employee commitments
such as employment bond etc. the corporate should realize that employee
signed the bond and if he wants to break it, he should do at his own cost
and the corporate should not reimburse or compensate him for violating
the employment contracts says Mr. T. MURALIDHARAN who is the
chairman of TMI NETWORK one of the India's leading recruitment
consultancies.
In one of the study conducted on recruitment and selection process at
BIOLOGICAL-E LTD conducted by Manik Rao in the year 2005. It was found
that company has used internal search for recruiting the employees into more
higher or the positions in different departments who can fit into the job. It was
found that the company has done it by considering it as the most cost effective
way of filling the vacancies. It has also been found that the company opted for
externalsources such as advertisement agencies to fill vacancies. Employee
referrals were also one of the internal sources of recruitment.
In another study on recruitment and selection in DW PRACTICE LLC which is
a HR consultancy, it was found that most of the employees felt that the
telephonic interview is not effective and instead direct interviews are more
feasible.
These are some of the studies conducted earlier on the Recruitment and Selections.

24

to the candidates atthe time of interview itself, to avoid
disappointment after joining.

their educational qualifications and job experience in a proper way so
as to save the time and cost involvedin the recruitment process.

sources which could provide them better options.

they have settled in and to check on how well they are doing. If they
have any problems it is better to identify them at an early stage rather
