A brand is made up of intangibles – perceptions, feelings and associations that exist in one’s state of mind. The ultimate goal of any branding effort is to create a loyal customer base. In the case of employer branding, that customer is the employee. An employer brand refers to the perceptions key stakeholders, and more specifically current and potential employees, have of your organisation.
Mba project on recruitment and selection processAnil Kumar Singh
Abstract: In this research paper, a study hs been made on the recruitment and selection processes between the two different sectors, i.e; Manufacturing sector and Services sector. The study indicates various techniques used by the two companies, that is, Kudos Chemical Limited, that is a manufacturing company and Virasat-e-Khalsa which belongs to the services sector. The study made under observation comprises of the services and guidance of a recruitment agency called Jobachievers, that is functioning from its office at Chandigarh, to provide job opportunities to the dserving candidates, in mostly areas in Punjab.
Index Terms: Recruitment, Selection
1) INTRODUCTION
The two companies undertaken in the project study comprises of a manufacturing firm named KUDOS CHEMICAL LIMITED and a servicing unit named VIRASAT-E-KHALSA. The former is having a chemical base and is in the business of manufacturing “caffeine”.
The latter is a service unit, having the structure of a theme museum, in which the culture of Punjab has been depicted in a versatile manner. Both of the companies need an adequate base of employees, who can carry out the various functions int the firms. Due to the different nature of the working aspects of these two firms, the recruitment and the selection process of both the firms are entirely different.
The only area in which the recruitment process of these two firms concides is that both the firms seeks out the help of recruitment agencies to find the appropriate and deserving candidates for their firms. The project report, hereby, includes my work at such a recruitment agency named “JOBACHIEVERS” under which I studied the recruitment and selection processes of various firms and prepared my project report on the comparison between the recruitment and selection process of a manufacturing firm and a service firm.
The process of recruitment begins with the sending of the “Job description” by the company. The job description is comprising of the following requirements:
1) Position vacant
This very first point, clarifies to the recruiter, for which required position, the candidate is needed. The recruiter then make use of the data that is available to him, or creates new data of the candidates. Since I undergone the training in a job consultancy, there was pre-recorded data already available. Thus, the recruiter can contact the person and can make him attend the scheduled interview for the required post.
2) Examining the Job description
The Job description provided by the company tells the recruiter, the complete insight of the position vacant and also provides the knowledge of what the company is seeking in the required candidate. Understanding the complete JD (Job description) only can help the recruiter to move to the next step. If the recruiter fails to understand the need of the company from the JD provided, then all of the steps undertaken by the recruiter would turn out to be a failure.
The challenge for HR managers is to keep up to date with the latest HR innovations -technological, legal, and otherwise.
How HR managers can anticipate and address some of the most challenging HR issues.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION OF SALES
PERSONNEL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Hemas rank as Sri Lanka’s premier healthcare product distributor, both Hemas
Pharmaceuticals and Hemas Surgical & Diagnostics employ over 650 expert staff members.
Representing over 25 prestigious international principals and implementing the most advanced
technological systems has empowered to earn an annual turnover of over 9 billion LKR. They
success continues to grow, and with it, so does the success of their stakeholders and their teams.
1.2 HR's Role and Strategies
As the struggle for reducing employee attrition rates is intensifying, Recruiters are putting
renewed efforts in identifying talent, which is Committed and productive. However, while
everyone is competing for talent, in experts' opinion, a hiring spree can be a blunder sometimes.
Stringent recruitment process could help reduce attrition to a certain extent. An internal referral
mechanism is also very useful in reducing attrition rates in companies. A thorough analysis of a
candidate's background or behavior pattern, adaptability or liking would help the organization
with good resource pool and less attrition rates. Hiring slayers rather than stars is yet another
strategy. According to experts, some of the most talented people often have the tendency to
move on. The reason being their eagerness to climb by shifting from one company to another.
Frequent job hoppers are not the ultimate gainers. "They gain or earn only in terms of money but
those who opt to work in one organization for long are able to learn and gain experience which
pays in the long term," An efficient HR focuses on creating a good work culture and work out
different strategies in line with organizational philosophy. According to experts, HR managers
must use the combination of growth, learning opportunity and pay attention to employees'
personal needs and participation. The needs of the employees should be regularly gauged

through open communication, polls and feedback mechanisms to maintain consistency in
performance and high motivation levels. Pharmaceutical employers need to understand the same
and deal this issue on a war footing so as to avoid loss of good employees and, also the business.

helps in reducing the attrition.
