INTRODUCTION
“Human Resource Management may be defined as a process which aims at developing human
resource for optimizing organizational performance as measured in terms of efficiency,
effectiveness and health by making correct diagnosis of the situation and providing leadership”.
Human Resource Management may be defined as a series of integrated decision that from the
employment relationship, their quality contributes to the ability of the organization and the
employee to achieve their objectives.
It is concern with the people dimension in management. Since every organization is made up of
people, acquiring their services, developing their skills, motivating their higher level of
performance and ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitment to organization are
essential for achieving organizational objectives.
HRD being an integral part of HRM has many instruments to facilitate the entire process of
organizational development and functioning. This instrument called as subsystem or method or
technique. Each subsystem focuses on same aspect of HRD. To have a comprehensive many of
these instruments may be needed to use simultaneously. The most frequently used sub-system is.
Man power planning
Recruitment and Selection.
Induction and placement.
Training and development.
Career planning and potential appraisal.
Performance appraisal.
Reward system.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Staffing is one of the main functions on Human Resource Management, refer to International
Human Resource Management perspective, staffing will be more important on the managing by
the headquartered company to their subsidiaries in order to gain more competitive advantage for
them. As a company want to achieve the mind of globalization, they must choose a suitable
staffing approach in order to doing business successfully not only in the domestic also in the
international environment. Maral Muratbekova-Touron (2008) stated that “One of the main
issues facing the development of the global companies has always been to find the right balance
between the local autonomy between subsidiaries and the control of the corporate headquarters.”,
it related to how the company recruit and select their staffs in their subsidiaries. In the present
paper will concentrate on the international staffing
Recruitment and selection forms the foundation of the core activities and processes underlying
human resource management and such activities include the acquisition, training and
development, and rewarding performance of workers (Gilmore, and Williams, 2009). The
success and sustainability of most organizations is directly proportional to skills and
competencies of the employees. Equally, the entry point into any organization is dependent on
the effectiveness of the recruitment and selection practices of the hiring team within the
organization. In light of this, competition in the UK employment market has increased
tremendously over the past few decades. This can be attributed to the inability of the
employment market to absorb the growing pool of graduates from institutions of higher learning.
According to Mohamed Branine, (2008, p. 497), graduate recruitment is one of the leading and
toughest challenges facing the majority of potential employers. Mohamed (2008) argues that the
causes of this phenomenon can be in part due to the complexities associated with the selection of
the most qualified individuals and as well, due to the availability a several graduates in different
disciplines from Ivy League institutions. To that purpose, the demand for quality graduates will
remain highly competitive the most advantaged recruiters will be those with strong recruitment
policies, coupled with exceptional training and development policies. In some instances,
3. 3
financial abilities of potential recruiters will play a substantial role in future graduate recruitment
and selection processes.
Varied researches and studies have been carried out and written up regarding the aspect of
graduate recruitment, the attitudes of graduates, and the attitudes of recruiters with respect to
choosing their employers, and as well, the perceptions of graduates towards their formative years
in the employment sector. Covered in past researches also includes the influences of
management executives on recruiting activities, the strategies and methods used to conduct and
communicate information regarding the recruitment process, and reliability and accuracy of the
recruiting tools and instruments. Much of this research has, however, concentrated on different
aspects within the recruitment and selection process in different organizations across the work.
According to survey findings undertaking to determine the causes of variations in recruitment
methods used by employers in UK each year, 91 per cent of employers and potential graduate
recruits preferred the internet as the ideal method for large organizations (Mohamed, 2008, p.
504). Closely behind the internet at 89 per cent was the use of career literature such as Prospects,
Prospects Today, and GET directory ((Mohamed, 2008, p. 504). Other methods such as milk
rounds and career fairs were less popular after the survey findings estimated its popularity at 45
per cent each while recruitment agencies was the least popular at 15 per cent (Mohamed, 2008,
p. 504).

3.2 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY:
With the strong and gusty winds sweeping the major parts of the world, it is highly impossible
for any nation to remain unaffected by their choice. India with its large population in the world,
The Indian industry is facing a competitive air, which is to be achieved through people. Human
assets are the most important from all the assets. People are the key factors in any industry. It
becomes very important for any industry to pick up right people for right job.
Hence Recruitment and Selection play key role in Human Resource Department. Recruiting is
also like a sales function (selling your organization to the applicant.) It is important for the
recruiter to know the skills, knowledge, capabilities, attitude, and need of the applicant. Wrong
selection effects whole organization. Thus it is very complicated job of searching right person for
right job.
The study and understanding of various systems of recruitment and selection as a HR subsystem
in various industries and co-operative sectors.
3.3 RESEARCH DESIGN
3.3.1 MEANING:-
The research design is a comprehensive master plan of the research study to be undertaken,
giving a general statement of the methods to be used. The function of a research design is to
ensure that requisite data in accordance with the problem at hand is collected accurately and
economically. Simply stated, it is the framework, a blueprint for the research study which guides
the collection and analysis of data. The research design, depending upon the needs of the
researcher may be a very detailed statement or only furnish the minimum information required
for planning the research project.
7. 7
3.3.2 TYPE OF RESEARCH DESIGN:
The study makes an effort to define the different aspects of recruitment and selection. It also
explores the various factors which affect the success and failure of this system and it’s probably
advantageous and beneficial to the industry. Hence the study is descriptive cum explorative in
nature.
Exploratory research is a type of research conducted for a problem that has not been
clearly defined. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data
collection method and selection of subjects. It should draw definitive conclusions only
with extreme caution. Given its fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes
that a perceived problem does not actually exist.
Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such as reviewing available literature
and/or data, or qualitative approaches such as informal discussions with consumers, employees,
management or competitors, and more formal approaches through in-depth interviews, focus
groups, projective methods, case studies or pilot studies. The Internet allows for research
methods that are more interactive in nature. For example, RSS feeds efficiently supply
researchers with up-to-date information; major search engine search results may be sent by email
to researchers by services such as Google Alerts; comprehensive search results are tracked over
lengthy periods of time by services such as Google Trends; and websites may be created to
attract worldwide feedback on any subject.
The results of exploratory research are not usually useful for decision-making by themselves, but
they can provide significant insight into a given situation. Although the results of qualitative
research can give some indication as to the "why", "how" and "when" something occurs, it
cannot tell us "how often" or "how many".
Descriptive research design is a scientific method which involves observing and
describing the behavior of a subject without influencing it in any way. Descriptive
8. 8
research deals with everything that can be counted and studied. But there are always
restrictions to that. Your research must have an impact to the lives of the people around
you. For example, finding the most frequent disease that affects the children of a town.
The reader of the research will know what to do to prevent that disease thus, more people
will live a healthy life.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Ceramics is one of the most ancient industries on the planet. Once humans discovered that clay
could be dug up and formed into objects by first mixing with water and then firing, the industry
was born. As early as 24,000 BC, animal and human figurines were made from clay and other
materials, and then fired in kilns partially dug into the ground.
Almost 10,000 years later, as settled communities were established, tiles were manufactured in
Mesopotamia and India. The first use of functional pottery vessels for storing water and food is
thought to be around 9000 or 10,000 BC. Clay bricks were also made around the same time.
Glass was believed to be discovered in Egypt around 8000 BC, when overheating of kilns
produced a colored glaze on the pottery. Experts estimate that it was not until 1500 BC that glass
was produced independently of ceramics and fashioned into separate items.
Fast forward to the Middle Ages, when the metal industry was in its infancy. Furnaces at that
time for melting the metal were constructed of natural materials. When synthetic materials with
better resistance to high temperatures (called refractoriness) were developed in the 16th century,
10. 10
the industrial revolution was born. This refractoriness created the necessary conditions for
melting metals and glass on an industrial scale, as well as for the manufacture of coke, cement,
chemicals, and ceramics.
Another major development occurred in the second half of the 19th century, when ceramic
materials for electrical insulation were developed. As other inventions came on the scene-
including automobiles, radios, televisions, computers-ceramic and glass materials were needed to
help these become a reality, as shown in the following timeline.

4.3 CERAMICS INDUSTRY IN INDIA:-
INTRODUCTION
The industry report serves to give an overview of the sector and capture the basic characteristics
of the sector in term of its overall size, present status and future potential. The regulatory aspect
of doing business in India as the well relevant tax and fiscal environment governing business in
India in India are also discussed here.
BACKGROUND
THE ceramic industry in India was started in the late 1950s with H&R JOHNSON setting up its
plant for the manufacture of wall tiles at thence near Mumbai, Sparta ceramic joined in 1985.
The booming demand for floor tiles promoted the entry of other player like regency ceramic,
Kajaria ceramic, Murudeshwar ceramic, bell ceramic.

ceramic and (C) natural stone. Mosaic tiles claim a 70% share. The ceramic tiles and natural
stones share the rest almost equally. Natural stone in turn three segments; grants, marbles and
other stones including quota stone.
12. 12
SIZE OF THE INDUSTRY
Ever since liberalizations process was initiated in 1991, the excise duty for the industry has been
on the slide down. From as high as 55% in 1993-94, it was reduced to 40%in 1994, to 30% in
1995-96 and to 25% in the budget of 1997-98. The chelliah committee had recommended even
less, 15%by 1997. The cuts reduced the price differential between.
Ceramic and mosaic tiles. This rejected in a store of which in the industry compendious excellent
there practice and a few new player inters refilled. In1994-95theindustyr capacity expended by
40% and in 1995-96.it expended further why 32%. The capacity has consisted to expend why a
similar jump in 1997-98.
The floor tiles segment growing faster, living only limited dial capacity bathe wall market has
been growing at store living large utilized capacity.
The growth has scolded down due to both endogenous and exogenous factor, while costs are
spiraling up .the demand growth, however, romance at relative lawyer level (15%). This has laid
to lower presses and lower mergence of profit. The principles factor for the change was the full
in demand lad by a decline in the construction activity. This was aggravated by increases in
infrastructure cost- freight, energy and petroleum product- high interest reds accompanied by
financial stringency. The competition was synchronized with low margins, in of scenario
dominated by a buyer market; the credit in period has gone up to 90 to 100 days as again 30to
35-ear liar. With a diverse variety of the product in term of size, colors and design, inventory
levels have inordinately high.
4.4 CURRENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY
The ceramic tiles industry in India has followed similar trades internationally which have also
been characterized by excess capacities and foiling margins. Countries like malaise, Thailand,
Indonesia, Srilanka, Vietnams are setting up there on plants. Carina in emerging as measure
competitor. Producer from Spain & Italy have the advantage of lower transportation cost while
sporting to U.S.A & Germany. In India the per capita consumptions visas low as point zero five
13. 13
sq. m. compare to point six & five sq. m. in chain& Europe respectively. Rising deposal income
of the growing class 40 million units of hoarsely shortage however hold out a great potential.
A major change which took over the ceramic tiles industry was the introduction of wall tiles for
bathrooms and kitchen floors n offices and for decorative hangings
The domestic market size by value of ceramic tiles in 1996-97 is estimated at a title over rs.11
billion. The Indian industry has developed and export t market all the at throw lower and. in
volume it constitutes only about half a percentage of the glower market. The export is rising at
the rate of 8 %. The upper in market is dominated by Italy and Spain.
The industry has a total production capacity of a proxy mightily one minute TPA in the organize
sector and 200000tpa in the small and informal sector. Some 10% of the capacity in the
organized sector is none operational. The informal sector has relatively variable capacity profile.
Apart from the 6 mature players at the top there are 29 smaller player in the organization with
total production 6, 50,000 tons in 1996-97 the capacity utilization in the organization sector by
65%.
H&R JOHNSON SOMANY CERAMIC and Kajaria dominate the wall tiles segment. In the
floor tiles Murudeshwar, bell and sparked account for 60% of the ton over the organized sector.
The institutional to retail sale ratio 40:60.
H&R JOHNSON are wall tiles and spared in floor tiles have attend high brand values. Floor tiles
segment is anticipated to grow faster and the wall tiles as the conception ratio shifts from 2:1 to
almost 1:1 as is in the developer counters.
The industry is capital intensive although there is a sizeable presence of the informal sector,
which operator on, smaller capital inputs. With new technology and large economic size, the
capital costs are high. So are the capitals working requirements because of the need to store a
wide variety of the product and long credits?
Kajaria and SOMANY CERAMIC dominate the north while H&R Johnson, Bell and
SOMANYs CERAMIC rule the west; Murudeshwar and Sparta share the southern markets.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
6.1 Introduction of Recruitment
The primary function of recruitment and selection process is to achieve one desired and –
selecting right people for right job. Human resource planning helps to determine the number and
types of people and organizational needs. Several stages occur before the final decision is made.
To start the process leading to selection of the rights person, suitability qualified and experienced
applicants must be attracted, but what, “suitably qualified and experienced means has to be
determined. The use of job description and specification has to be made for this purpose. This
means that skills, traits and aptitudes should be describe precisely and indicators included. So
assessments can be based on evidence.
A well designed job can be motivate an individual and provides opportunities for their personal
and career development

information related to the Thomas profile mentioned below:-
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS:-
John Thomas is a forceful, creative individual who uses both assertiveness and persuasion to
achieve his goals. Initially he tends to adopt a persuasive approach in order to convince others
and gain their assistance in achieving goals. However, if persuasion does not have the desired
effect, he will adopt a direct, assertive approach. John Thomas is a versatile, competitive self-
starter who acts and reacts quickly to the demands of a situation. He enjoys challenge, variety, a
wide scope of operations and independence. John Thomas expects reward for effort,
advancement and commitment negotiated on a one-to-one basis. He can show impatience and
intolerance if things move too slowly or fail to go his way. Thomas Sample is an amiable,
friendly, non-aggressive individual who is normally both accurate and organized. He tends to
dislike conflict and confrontation. However, Thomas Sample enjoys discussion and debate and is
quite a competent communicator. He is usually a good team member who prefers to support
rather than direct or lead others. Thomas Sample can become anxious when faced with change,
particularly if it is unplanned or unexpected. He has the ability to apply himself to both detailed
and routine work. His approach to decision making tends to be one of suggesting rather than
directing. Thomas Sample is naturally a relaxed individual despite being rather anxious to please.
33. 33
MOTIVATORS AND FEARS
John Thomas is motivated by tangible goals, authority, prestige, a variety of tasks, pace, public
recognition and the opportunity to advance. He seeks responsibility with authority to act and take
decisions. John Thomas works best for a direct leader who is willing to delegate authority and
with whom he can discuss issues on a one-to-one basis. He seeks result orientated colleagues
who respond quickly to a challenge and are willing to accept personal responsibility. John
Thomas has An innate fear of failure and loss of public face. Thomas Sample is motivated by a
sense of belonging, open democratic relationships, public recognition, harmony and trouble-free
environment. He prefers team roles that afford him the opportunity to counsel, coach, advice and
negotiate with others. Thomas Sample works best for a democratic mentor who is sincere,
explains "why" as well as “what" is required and then allows time for discussion, questions and
clarification. He responds well to colleagues whom he can trust, converse and associate with on a
social as well as a work basis. Thomas Sample has an innate fear of insecurity, rejection and
making errors.

John Thomas is an active, direct, demanding and fluent communicator. His style is energetic,
goal orientated, quick-paced And challenging. John Thomas's vigorous verbal approach can be
seen by Thomas Sample as impatient, lacking in explanation and consequently inhibiting
.Thomas Sample is an open, friendly and relaxed communicator with good listening skills. His
style is non-aggressive, patient, explanatory and gently persuasive. This tutorial approach to
communication can be seen by John Thomas as lacking focus and goal orientation. How well
John Thomas and Thomas Sample communicate depends on John Thomas's self-awareness.
Although Thomas Sample is the more natural communicator, John Thomas is the more dominant
and thus will control the degree of interaction. To achieve optimum interactive communication,
34. 34
John Thomas must moderate his approach and listen more actively, whilst Thomas Sample needs
to adopt a more assertive and goal orientated style of communication.
GENERAL COMPATIBILITY
The common trait of social interaction should provide the base for an acceptable level of general
compatibility. However, the difference in assertiveness, pace and detail emphasis could give rise
to significant dissonance in the workplace.
WORK COMPATIBILITY
As John Thomas will want to assert his influence and independence he will seek roles that allow
him to lead, persuade and take decisions. This should not cause Thomas Sample undue concern
as he tends to prefer roles that offer him the opportunity to advice and support rather than direct.
However, he needs time to think through and check out the available options before making a
suggestion or proffering an opinion. Thus, he will resent and resist attempts to pressurize him
into making quick decisions or giving an instantaneous response. John Thomas may find Thomas
Sample's approach unnecessarily hesitant, slow and frustrating. Thomas Sample could find John
Thomas's more assertive and urgent approach inconsistent and intimidating. Their ability to
effectively reconcile their differences will be influenced by what each perceives as the intention
of the other.
PERSONAL PERCEPTIONS
If John Thomas perceives Thomas Sample's slower, less assertive and more detailed approach as
stubbornness or an attempt to use specifics and rules to avoid commitment and safeguard his
own position, the opportunity for an effective working partnership will be significantly
diminished. On the other hand, should John Thomas view these same attributes as an ability to
explain in detail so that others can understand exactly what is required and as a consequence
reduce the chance of costly error, then co-operation and competence will increase .Likewise,
should Thomas Sample view John Thomas's more assertive and urgent approach as the use of
persuasion and influence to enhance personal popularity, rather than carry others with him to
secure a successful result to the benefit of all, there will be little chance of cohesion.
35. 35

6.2 Selection
6.2.1 Introduction
Employee Selection is the process of putting right men on right job. It is a procedure of matching
organizational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people. Effective selection can
be done only when there is effective matching. By selecting best candidate for the required job,
the organization will get quality performance of employees. Moreover, organization will face
less of absenteeism and employee turnover problems. By selecting right candidate for the
required job, organization will also save time and money. Proper screening of candidates takes
place during selection procedure. All the potential candidates who apply for the given job are
tested.
But selection must be differentiated from recruitment, though these are two phases of
employment process. Recruitment is considered to be a positive process as it motivates more of
candidates to apply for the job. It creates a pool of applicants. It is just sourcing of data. While
selection is a negative process as the inappropriate candidates are rejected here. Recruitment
precedes selection in staffing process. Selection involves choosing the best candidate with best
abilities, skills and knowledge for the required job.

Inviting Application:
First step in the selection process is inviting applications from prospective candidates. A
carefully devised application from is in itself an effective selection device. For this reason,
application forms are specially designed for each principal class of jobs to be filled. The main
purpose of application is to obtain information in the applicant own handwriting regarding his
suitability for employment. Application form should be as simple as possible and must
incorporate question having bearing on the fitness of applicant in job.
Reception of Applicants:
On the fixed date of selection, the applicants are required to present themselves in the office on
the company. There they must be given proper reception.
Preliminary Employment Interview:
The preliminary interview is usually quite short and has its object the elimination of the
obviously unqualified candidates. Lack of certain requirement in education, age, experience etc.
might determine unfitness. Hence, it is distinctly directive. It does not prob deeply into the
applicant’s special specifications, interests and experience etc. on the other hand, the interview
seek to move rapidly from one of them eliminates the candidate or he is cleared from further
investigation. If an applicant is eliminated in the early part of the selection procedure, the
company is saved the expenses and time of processing him through remaining step of the
procedure.
Interview:
After going through test, the successful candidates are interviewed. Although application blanks
and tests provide much valuable information about the candidates yet they do not provide the
complete set of information required of the applicant. In much current practice principal
dependence is placed on determinative interviews. But however, unplanned, casual interviews at
40. 40
this stage involve many hazards and are likely to be misleading and unreliable. They give only a
general impression. Hence, carefully planned or, “Patterned” interviews should be conducted.
Various outlines and guides are available now a days to assist in these patterned employment
interviews.
Investigation of Reference:
A request for reference is commonly made in the application form. Candidates are required to
give at least two or three references so that their previous history, character and behavior etc.
may be investigated. Available evidence indicates, however, that actual use of these reference is
not made most current practice. And much of the use is made is ineffective because the
confidential nature of such inquiries is not assured. If any dependence is to be placed on the
information secured form reference special cause must be used in soliciting information and
assuring its secrecy.
Final Approval:
When all tests, interview and physical examination, etc are passed by a candidates he becomes
eligible for appointment. Sometimes, more candidates are selected, so that a waiting list can be
prepared. If the selection is equal to the number of actual vacancies, they are called for training
or joining, as case may be.
Placement and Induction:
It is a controversy over whether placement and induction is the part of selection process or not.
But as a matter of fact, it must be there. The new employee must be shown his job, introduced to
his fellow employees and supervisor and assisted in making such personnel adjustment as are
necessary to his effective performance in the work team. Plant tour can be arranged for them,
printed hand book that describe the employer, products, rules and regulation, privileges enjoyed
by them etc. can be given to them if the number of new employees is too large, orientation
classes can be arranged for them. But according to need some provision for induction must be.
