CITPR Ltd. conducted a campus recruitment drive where they selected 25 students from TTC College of Engineering and Management. However, CITPR later denied the students final placement due to a lack of coordination between the HR Manager, Mr. Swami, and other employees. This resulted in uncertainty about the career prospects of the selected students. The case highlights issues with verbal commitments without written documentation, improper recruitment planning, and delays in communication that compromised the students' job opportunities.

1. CASE STUDY
RECRUITMENT FIASCO AT CITPR LTD.

2. ABSTRACT
• This case study can be used to discuss the concepts of HR Planning,
Recruitment Processes and HR Communication.
• Mr. Swami, HR Manager, CITPR Ltd., found himself in big trouble after
not following the HR process carefully.
• This resulted in a highly chaotic situation placing the careers of 25
students of TTC College of Engineering and Management (TTC) in a
quandary when CITPR Ltd., after selecting them in the campus
interview, denied them final placement.
• Overlooking HR planning, delaying the communication and initiating
official action based on oral communication poses a serious problem to
the participants. Would the students be left in a lurch by CITPR Ltd.
and TTC College? How far is it justifiable to take decisions based only on
verbal commitment?

3. Major issues highlighted in the case study:
1.CITPR did campus recruitment and failed to provide offer letters to the
selected students and hence caused trouble for their future.
2.Lack of coordination and awareness amongst the employees of CITPR.
3.Rash decision making without concrete evidence by the Recruitment
Manager,Mr. Swami, at CITPR
4.Wrong decision making by the Placement Officer, Mr. Ravi Sampat, as
he did not allow his students to sit for other companies even when the
due date for provision of offer letters from CITPR had passed and there
were vague responses from Mr. Swami and Mr. Ganesh.
