7. Recruitment According to Edwin B. Flippo, recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization‖. Recruitment is the activity that links the employers and the job seekers. A few definitions of recruitment are:  Recruitment is a process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected.  Recruitment is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ effective  Recruitment measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force. Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the selection process. Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist. Usually, the recruitment process starts when a manger initiates an employee requisition for a specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy. Recruitment needs are of three types:o Planned Planned needs are those needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy.o Anticipated Anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment.o Unexpected Resignation, deaths, accidents, illness give rise to unexpected needs. 7

8. Purpose & Importance Of RecruitmentThe Purpose and Importance of Recruitment are given below:  Attract and encourage more and more candidates to apply in the organization.  Create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates for the organization.  Determine present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its personnel planning and job analysis activities.  Recruitment is the process which links the employers with the employees.  Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.This help increase the success rate of selection process by decreasing number of visibly underqualified or overqualified job applicants. It also helps to reduce the probability that job applicantsonce recruited and selected will leave the organization only after a short period of time. It meetsthe organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its workforce. It beginsidentifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates. It increasesorganization and individual effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources for all typesof job applicants 8

9. 1) Sources of RecruitmentEvery organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment processes fromtwo kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources within the organization itself (liketransfer of employees from one department to other, promotions) to fill a position are known asthe internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other sources (likeoutsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of the recruitment. SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT 9

10. 1.1) Internal Sources of RecruitmentSome Internal Sources Of Recruitments are given below:1.1.1) TransfersThe employees are transferred from one department to another according to their efficiency andexperience.1.1.2) PromotionsThe employees are promoted from one department to another with more benefits and greaterresponsibility based on efficiency and experience.1.1.3) Upgrade /DemotionOthers are Upgrading and Demotion of present employees according to their performance.1.1.4) Retired and retrenched employeesThey may also be recruited once again in case of shortage of qualified personnel or increase inload of work. Recruitment of such people save time and costs of the organizations as the peopleare already aware of the organizational culture and the policies and procedures.1.1.5) Deceased and Disabled employeesThe dependents and relatives of Deceased employees and Disabled employees are also done bymany companies so that the members of the family do not become dependent on the mercy ofothers. 10

11. 1.2) External Sources of Recruitment 1.2.1)Press Advertisements Advertisements of the vacancy in newspapers and journals are a widely used source of recruitment. The main advantage of this method is that it has a wide reach. 1.2.2)Educational Institutes Various management institutes, engineering colleges, medical Colleges etc. are a good source of recruiting well qualified executives, engineers, medical staff etc. They provide facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source is known as Campus Recruitment. 1.2.3)Placement Agencies Several private consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf of client companies by charging a fee. These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)1.2.4)Employment Exchanges Government establishes public employment exchanges throughout the country. These exchanges provide job information to job seekers and help employers in identifying suitable candidates. 1.2.5) Labor Contractors Manual workers can be recruited through contractors who maintain close contacts with the sources of such workers. This source is used to recruit labour for construction jobs. 1.2.6) Unsolicited Applicants Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such callers are considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can help in creating the talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the organization. 1.2.7) Employee Referrals / Recommendations Many organizations have structured system where the current employees of the organization can refer their friends and relatives for some position in their organization. Also, the office bearers of trade unions are often aware of the suitability of candidates. Recruitment Management can inquire these leaders for suitable jobs. In some organizations these are formal agreements to give priority in recruitment to the candidates recommended by the trade union. 1.2.8) Recruitment at Factory Gate Unskilled workers may be recruited at the factory gate these may be employed whenever a permanent worker is absent. More efficient among these may be recruited to fill permanent vacancies. 11

12. 2) Factors Affecting RecruitmentThe recruitment function of the organizations is affected and governed by a mix of variousinternal and external forces. The internal forces or factors are the factors that can be controlledby the organization. And the external factors are those factors which cannot be controlled bythe organization. The internal and external forces affecting recruitment function of anorganizationare: FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT2.1) Internal Factors Affecting RecruitmentThe internal factors or forces which affecting recruitment and can be controlled by theorganization are 2.1.1) Recruitment PolicyThe recruitment policy of an organization specifies the objectives of recruitment andprovides a framework for implementation of recruitment program. It may involveorganizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programers andprocedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people. There are certain factors whichaffect the recruitment policy such as Organizational objectives Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors Government policies on reservations. Preferred sources of recruitment. Need of the organization. Recruitment costs and financial implications. 12

13. 2.1.2) Human Resource Planning Effective human resource planning helps in determining the gaps present in the existing manpower of the organization. It also helps in determining the number of employees to be recruited and what qualification they must possess. 2.1.3)Size of the firm The size of the firm is an important factor in recruitment process. If the organization is planning to increase its operations and expand its business, it will think of hiring more personnel, which will handle its operations. 2.1.4) Cost Recruitment incur cost to the employer, therefore, organizations try to employ that source of recruitment which will bear a lower cost of recruitment to the organization for each candidate. 2.1.5) Growth and Expansion Organization will employ or think of employing more personnel if it is expanding it‘s operations. 2.2) External Factors Affecting Recruitment The external factors which affecting recruitment are the forces which cannot be controlled by the organization. The major external forces are: 2.2.1)Supply and Demand The availability of manpower both within and outside the organization is an important determinant in the recruitment process. If the company has a demand for more professionals and there is limited supply in the market for the professionals demanded by the company, then the company will have to depend upon internal sources by providing them special training and development programs. 2.2.2)Labor Market Employment conditions in the community where the organization is located willinfluence the recruiting efforts of the organization. If there is surplus of manpower at the time of recruitment, even informal attempts at the time of recruiting like notice boards display of the requisition or announcement in the meeting etc will attract more than enough applicants. 13

14. 2.2.3) Image / Goodwill Image of the employer can work as a potential constraint for recruitment. An organization with positive image and goodwill as an employer finds it easier to attract and retain employees than an organization with negative image. Image of a company is based on what organization does and affected by industry. For example finance was taken up by fresher MBA‘s when many finance companies were coming up. 2.2.4) Political – Social – Legal Environment Various government regulations prohibiting discrimination in hiring and employment have direct impact on recruitment practices. For example, Government of India has introduced legislation for reservation in employment for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, physically handicapped etc. Also, trade unions play important role in recruitment. This restricts management freedom to select those individuals who it believes would be the best performers. If the candidate can‘t meet criteria stipulated by the union but union regulations can restrict recruitment sources. 2.2.5) Unemployment Rate One of the factors that influence the availability of applicants is the growth of the economy (whether economy is growing or not and its rate). When the company is not creating new jobs, there is often oversupply of qualified labor which in turn leads to unemployment. 2.2.6) Competitors The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect the recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition, many a times the organizations have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the competitors.3) Recruitment Policy of a Company In today‘s rapidly changing business environment, a well defined recruitment policy is necessary for organizations to respond to its human resource requirements in time. Therefore, it is important to have a clear and concise recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to recruit the best talent pool for the selection of the right candidate at the right place quickly. Creating a suitable recruitment policy is the first step in the efficient hiring process. A clear and concise recruitment policy helps ensure a sound recruitment process. It specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of recruitment program. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment program and procedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people. 14

15. 4) Components of the Recruitment Policy The general recruitment policies and terms of the organization are as below: o Recruitment services of consultants o Recruitment of temporary employees o Unique recruitment situations o The selection process o The job descriptions o The terms and conditions of the employment A recruitment policy of an organization should be such that: o It should focus on recruiting the best potential people o To ensure that every applicant and employee is treated equally with dignity and respect o Unbiased policy o To aid and encourage employees in realizing their full potential o Transparent, task oriented and merit based selection o Weight age during selection given to factors that suit organization needs o Optimization of manpower at the time of selection process o Defining the competent authority to approve each selection o Abides by relevant public policy and legislation on hiring and employment relationship o Integrates employee needs with the organizational needs.Factors affecting recruitment policy o Organizational objectives o Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors o Government policies on reservations o Preferred sources of recruitment o Need of the organization o Recruitment costs and financial implications o Recent Trends in Recruitment 15

16. 5) Trends in RecruitmentThe following trends are being seen in recruitment: 5.1)Outsourcing In India, the HR processes are being outsourced from more than a decade now. A company may draw required personnel from outsourcing firms. The outsourcing firms help the organization by the initial screening of the candidates according to the needs of the organizationand creating a suitable pool of talent for the final selection by the organization. Outsourcing firms develop their human resource pool by employing people for them and make available personnel to various companies as per their needs. In turn, the outsourcing firms or the intermediaries charge the organizations for their services.Advantages of outsourcing are: o Company need not plan for human resources much in advance o Value creation, operational flexibility and competitive advantage o turning the managements focus to strategic level processes of HRM o Company is free from salary negotiations, weeding the unsuitable resumes/candidates o Company can save a lot of its resources and time 5.2) Poaching / Raiding ―Buying talent‖ (rather than developing it) is the latest mantra being followed by the organizations today. Poaching means employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed company in the same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions, better than the current employer of the candidate. But it is seen as an unethical practice and not openly talked about. Indian software and the retail sector are the sectors facing the most severe brunt of poaching today. It has become a challenge for human resource managers to face and tackle poaching, as it weakens the competitive strength of the firm. 5.3) E- Recruitment Many big organizations use Internet as a source of recruitment. E-recruitment is the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place their CV‘s in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective employees depending upon their requirements. Advantages of recruitment are: o Low cost o No intermediaries o Reduction in time for recruitment o Recruitment of right type of people o Efficiency of recruitment process. 16

17. E-RecruitmentThe buzzword and the latest trends in recruitment is the ―E-Recruitment‖. Also known as ―Onlinerecruitment‖, it is the use of technology or the web based tools to assist the recruitment processes.The tool can be either a job website like naukri.com, the organization‘s corporate web site or itsown intranet. Many big and small organizations are using Internet as a source of recruitment.They advertise job vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications orcurriculum vitae (CV) through an e-mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place theirCV‘s in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective employees depending upon theirrequirements.The internet penetration in India is increasing and has tremendous potential. According to a studyby NASSCOM – ―Jobs is among the top reasons why new users will come on to the internet,besides e-mail.‖ There are more than 18 million resume‘s floating online across the world.The two kinds of e-recruitment that an organization can use is –5.3.1) Job portals – i.e. posting the position with the job description and the job specification onthe job portal and also searching for the suitable resumes posted on the site corresponding to theopening in the organization.Creating a complete online recruitment/application section in the company‘s own website. -Companies have added an application system to its website, where the ‗passive‘ job seekers cansubmit their resumes into the database of the organization for consideration in future, as and whenthe roles become available.5.3.2) Resume Scanners: Resume scanner is one major benefit provided by the job portals to theorganizations. It enables the employees to screen and filter the resumes through pre-definedcriteria‘s and requirements (skills, qualifications, experience, payroll etc.) of the job.Job sites provide a 24*7 access to the database of the resumes to the employees facilitating thejust-in-time hiring by the organizations. Also, the jobs can be posted on the site almostimmediately and is also cheaper than advertising in the employment newspapers.Sometimescompanies can get valuable references through the ―passers-by‖ applicants. Onlinerecruitment helps the organizations to automate the recruitment process, save their time and costson recruitments.5.3.3) Online recruitment techniques Giving a detailed job description and job specifications in the job postings to attract candidates with the right skill sets and qualifications at the first stage E-recruitment should be incorporated into the overall recruitment strategy of the organization A well defined and structured applicant tracking system should be integrated and the system should have a back-end support Along with the back-office support a comprehensive website to receive and process job applications (through direct or online advertising) should be developedTherefore, to conclude, it can be said that e-recruitment is the ―Evolving face of recruitment.‖ 17

18. 5.3.4) Advantages & Disadvantages of E-RecruitmentThere are many benefits – both to the employers and the job seekers but the e-recruitment is notfree from a few shortcomings. Some of the advantages and the disadvantages of e-recruitment areas follows:Advantages of E-Recruitment are: Lower costs to the organization. Also, posting jobs online is cheaper than advertising in the newspapers. No intermediaries. Reduction in the time for recruitment (over 65 percent of the hiring time). Facilitatesthe recruitment of right type of people with the required skills. Improved efficiency of recruitment process. Gives a 24*7access to an online collection of resumes. Online recruitment helps the organizations to weed out the unqualified candidates in anautomated way.Recruitment websites also provide valuable data and information regarding the compensationoffered by the competitors etc. which helps the HR managers to take various HR decisions likepromotions, salary trends in industry etc5.3.5) Disadvantages of E-RecruitmentApart from the various benefits, e-recruitment has its own share of shortcomings anddisadvantages. Some of them are: Screening and checking the skill mapping and authenticity of million of resumes is a problem and time consuming exercise for organizations. There is low Internet penetration and no access and lack of awareness of internet in many locations across India. Organizations cannot be dependant solely and totally on the online recruitment methods. In India, the employers and the employees still prefer a face-to-face interaction rather than sending e-mails. 18

19. SelectionSelection is a negative process and involves the elimination of candidates who do not have therequired skills and qualification for the job proposed. Also it is a process of differentiating betweenapplicants in order to identify and hire those with grater likelihood of success in job.The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully perform thejob from the pool of qualified candidates. It is the system of function and devise adopted in a givencompany to ascertain whether the candidate’s specifications are matched with the job specificationsand recruitment or not.Selection process or activities typically follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial screeninginterview and concluding with final employment decision. The traditional selection process includes:preliminary screening interview, completion of application form, employment test, comprehensiveinterview, background investigation, physical examination and final employment decision to hire.Organization for selectionUntil recently the basic hiring process was performed in a rather unplanned manner in manyorganizations. In some companies, each department screened and hired its own employees. Manymangers insisted on screening their own employees as they thought no one else could do that asefficiently as they themselves.But now selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This type ofarrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages:- It is easier for the application because they can send their applications to a single centralizeddepartment.- It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can be cleared throughone central location.- It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities. This is especiallyhelpful during the chief hiring period.- It can provide for better selection because hiring is done by specialist trained in staffing techniques.- The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs.- Hiring cost is cut because duplication of efforts is reduced.- With increased governmental regulation on selection process, it is important that people who knowabout these rules handle a major part of the selection process.Ideally, a selection process involves mutually decision making. The organization decides whether ornot to make a job offer and how attractive the job offer should be. 19

20. Barriers to Effective Selection The main objective of selection process is to hire people having competence and commitment towards the given job profile. But due to some reason the main purpose of effectively selecting candidates is defeated. These reasons are: 1: Perception or the Halo effect: Many a times the interviewer selects a candidate according to the perception he has or he made up while talking or looking at the individual. This way he does not see through the caliber or the efficiency of the individual and many times it leads to the selection of the wrong candidates. 2: Fairness: During the selection process the interviewer does not select the individual on the basis of his knowledge and hence the right type of the candidates is not selected. 3: Pressure: The people from the HR department and also have a lot of pressure from the top management and from other top class people for selecting the candidates they want. This ways the purpose of effective selection process of effective selection process is defeated as they have to select that individual whether or not he is capable of the job. that is being offered. Essential of Selection Procedure Someone should have the authority to select. There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of employees to be selected. Theremust be some standards of personnel with which a prospective employee may be compared. Factors affecting Selection Decision Includes: Profile matching Organization and social environment Multi correlations Successive hurdles 20

21. 6) Recruitment Vs Selection Both recruitment and selection are the two phases of the employment process. The differences between the two are: The recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization WHEREAS selection involves the series of steps by which the candidates are screened for choosing the most suitable persons for vacant posts. The basic purpose of recruitments is to create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates for the organization, by attracting more and more employees to apply in the organization WHEREAS the basic purpose of selection process is to choose the right candidate to fill the various positions in the organization. Recruitment is a positive process i.e. encouraging more and more employees to apply WHEREAS selection is a negative process as it involves rejection of the unsuitable candidates. Recruitment is concerned with tapping the sources of human resources WHEREAS selection is concerned with selecting the most suitable candidate through various interviews and tests. There is no contract of recruitment established in recruitment WHEREAS selection results in a contract of service between the employer and the selected employee. 7) Important aspects of Recruitment7.1 ) Types of Job Seekers 7.1.1) Quid Pro Que These are the people who say that ― I can do this for you, what can you give me‖ These people value high responsibilities, higher risks, and expect higher rewards, personal development and company profiles doesn‘t matter to them. 7.1.2) I will be with you These people like to be with big brands. Importance is given to brands. They are not bothered about work ethic, culture mission etc. 7.1.3) I will do you what you want These people are concerned about how meaningful the job is and they define meaning parameters criteria known by previous job. 7.1.4)where do you want me to come These people observe things like where is your office, what atmosphere do you offer. Career prospects and exciting projects don‘t entice them as much. It is the responsibility of the recruiter to decide what the employee might face in given job and thus take decision. A good decision will help cut down employee retention costs and future recruitment costs. 21

22. 7.2) Recruitment Management SystemRecruitment management system is the comprehensive tool to manage the entire recruitmentprocesses of an organization. It is one of the technological tools facilitated by the informationmanagement systems to the HR of organizations. Just like performance management, payroll andother systems, Recruitment management system helps to contour the recruitment processes andeffectively managing the ROI on recruitment.The features, functions and major benefits of the recruitment management system are explainedbelow: Structure and systematically organize the entire recruitment processes. Recruitment management system facilitates faster, unbiased, accurate and reliable processing of applications from various applications. Helps to reduce the time-per-hire and cost-per-hire. Recruitment management system helps to incorporate and integrate the various links like the application system on the official website of the company, the unsolicited applications, outsourcing recruitment, the final decision making to the main recruitment process. Recruitment management system maintains an automated active database of the applicants facilitating the talent management and increasing the efficiency of the recruitment processes. Recruitment management system provides and a flexible, automated and interactive interface between the online application system, the recruitment department of the company and the job seeker. Offers tolls and support to enhance productivity, solutions and optimizing the recruitment processes to ensure improved ROI. Recruitment management system helps to communicate and create healthy relationships with the candidates through the entire recruitment process.The Recruitment Management System (RMS) is an innovative information system tool whichhelps to sane the time and costs of the recruiters and improving the recruitment processes. 22

23. 7.3) ROI on RecruitmentBefore making any investment, every organization would want to evaluate the investment byanswering the following questions in quantifiable terms: What are the costs and the corresponding and related risks on the investment? What are the expected returns of the investment? What is the expected pay-back period of the investment? An organization makes a tremendous amount of investment in its recruitment processes.A lot of resources like time and money are spent on recruitment processes of an organization. Butassessing or quantifying the returns on the recruitment process, or, calculating the return oninvestment (ROI) on recruitment is a complicated task for an organization. Indeed, it is difficult tojudge the success of their recruitment processes. Instead, recruitment is one activity that continuesin an organization without anyone ever realizing its worth or measuring its impact on theorganization‘s business.According to a survey, 38 % of organizations do not prepare or produce any kind of documents orreports on theirrecruitment processes, and there is no accountability of the HR department for thecosts incurred and the opportunities missed.With the increasing strategic focus on the human resources, more and more organizations areadopting one or the other way for calculating the ROI on its recruitments. Many organizations areexamining their HR functions and processes and are trying to quantify their results and returns.A recruitment professional or manager can calculate and maximize the return on investments onits organization‘s recruitment by- Clear definition of the results to be achieved from recruitment. Developing methods and ways measuring the results like the time – to – hire, cost-Per- Hire and effectiveness of the recruitment source etc. Estimating the costs associated with the recruitment project Estimating the tangible and intangible benefits to the organization including the payback period of the recruitments. Providing and ensuring proper training and development of the recruitment professionals Assessing the ROI on recruitments can assist an organization to strengthen its HR processes, improving its recruitment function and to build a strategic human resource advantage for the organization. 23

24. 7.4)Outsourcing RecruitmentOutsourcing Recruitment is the human resource (HR) processes is the latest practice beingfollowed by middle and large sized organizations. It is being witnessed across all the industries. InIndia, the HR processes are being outsourced from nearly a decade now. Outsourcing industry isgrowing at a high rate.Human Resource Outsourcing refers to the process in which an organization uses the expertservices of a third party (generally professional consultants) to take care of its HR functions whileHR management can focus on the strategic dimension of their function. The functions that aretypically outsourced are the functions that need expertise, relevant experience, knowledge andbest methods and practices. This has given rise to outsourcing the various HR functions of anorganization. HR Consultancies such as Ma Foi and Planman Consulting provide such servicesthrough expert professional consultants. Human resources business process outsourcing (HRBPO) is a major component of the worldwide BPO market. Performance management outsourcinginvolves all the performance monitoring, measurement, management being outsourced from athird party or an external organization.Many organizations have started outsourcing its recruitment process i.e. transferring all or somepart of its recruitment process to an external consultant providing the recruitment services. It iscommonly known as RPO i.e. recruitment process outsourcing. More and more medium and largesized organizations are outsourcing their recruitment process right from the entry level jobs to theC-level jobs.The present value of the recruitment process outsourcing industry (RPO) in India is estimated tobe $2.5 billion and it is expected to grow at the annual rate of 30-40 per cent for the next coupleof years. According to a recent survey, only 8-10 per cent of the Indian companies are completerecruitment processes. However, the number of companies outsourcing their recruitmentprocesses is increasing at a very fast rate and so is the percentage of their total recruitmentprocesses being outsourced.Outsourcing organizations strive for providing cost saving benefits to their clients. One of themajor advantages to organizations, who outsource their recruitment process, is that it helps to saveup to as much as 40 per cent of their recruitment costs. With the experience, expertise and theeconomies of scale of the third party, organizations are able to improve the quality of the recruitsand the speed of the whole process. Also, outsourcing enables the human resource professionalsof organizations to focus on the core and other HR and strategic issues.

HR should maintain the timeliness of the process Lack of motivation – Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job.

Process analysis – The immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be flexible, adaptive and responsive to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be cost effective.

Except for a few expatriate selection policies, the expatriate selection criterion is generallyorganization and nation specific.The recruiters for recruiting the expatriates should be carefully selected and trained. Therecruitment strategies for expatriates should be aligned with requirements of the job. Theinterviews of expatriates are designed in a manner to judge their: Adaptability to the new culture Intercultural interaction Flexibility Professional expertise Past international work experience Tolerance and open-mindedness Family situation Language ability Attitude and motivation Empathy towards local cultureA few researches in this field also suggest that women are moral likely to be successful in certainpositions as expatriates as they are more sensitive towards new culture and people. recruitment ofexpatriates should be followed by cultural and sensitivity training, and language training. 31

A few decisionsby the recruitment professionals can affect the productivity and efficiency of the organization.Organizations adopt different forms of recruitment practices according to the specific needs of theorganization. The organizations can choose from the centralized or decentralized forms ofrecruitment, explained below: Centralized Recruitment The recruitment practices of an organization are centralized when the HR / recruitment department at the head office performs all functions of recruitment. Recruitment decisions for all the business verticals and departments of an organization are carried out by the one central HR (or recruitment) department.

Each department carries out its own recruitment. Choice between the two will depend upon management philosophy and needs of particular organization. In some cases combination of both is used. Lower level staffs as well as top level executives are recruited in a decentralized manner. 33

34. 7.13)Equal Employment Opportunity Equal employment opportunity refers to the approach of the employers to ensure the practice of being fair and impartial in the employment process. *The term "Equal Opportunity Employment" was first given by President Lyndon B. Johnson when he signed Executive Order 11246 which was created to prohibit federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of race, sex, creed, religion, color, or national origin*. The scope of the order also covered the discrimination on the basis of the minority status. Discrimination in employment Discrimination refers to the any kind of prejudice, biasness or favoritism on the basis of disability, race, age, sex, sexuality, pregnancy, marital status in employmentNo person should be treated less favorably than any other on the basis of the specified issues above. Many countries (like SA) have already implemented Equal Opportunity Act, making it against the law to treat anybody unfairly. Diversity in workforce With the globalization and the increasing size of the organizations, the diversity in the workforce is increasing i.e. people from diverse backgrounds, educational background, age groups, race, gender, abilities etc come together to work for one organization and common objectives. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the employer to create an equality-based and discrimination-free working environment and practices. Equal opportunity means treating people equally and fairly irrespective of their race, religion, sex, age, disability etc. Giving women an equal treatment and access to opportunities at the workplace. Any employee should be ill-treated or harassed by the employer or other employees. Equal Employment Opportunity principles help to realize and respect the actual worth of the individual on the basis of his knowledge, skills, abilities and merit. And the policy should cover all the employees of an organization whether permanent or temporary, contractual etc. Equal employment opportunity is necessary to ensure: To give fair access to the people of all development opportunities To create a fair organization, industry and society. To encourage and give disadvantaged or disabled people a fair chance to grow with the society. 34
