EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I have done my project on comparative study of recruitment and
selection policies of (B.H.E.L.) and (B.S.N.L.). My main objective
of this study was to know the recruitment and selection policies
of (B.H.E.L.) and (B.S.N.L.) how much the employee of the
company are satisfied with these policies, what are the
differences between the policies of both the company and also
the procedure of recruitment and selection of both the company
and comparison between them.
Research methodology and method for the data collection is
used was through questionnaire and interviews, through
discussion with the management members, through interacting
with different employee of the company, by referring manuals
and magazines.
There was some limitation during the study like the sample
chosen doesnt represent the total population, some of them
needed help in answering the questionnaire since they found
difficulty in understanding the literal meaning of the questions,
time boundation was there .
On the bases of the observation and data collected we come to
the following observation that:
Preference should be given to the most eligible candidate,
irrespective of their sex.
It should be suggested that the Company should pay the
travel expenses to the candidate.
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Recruitment is an important part of a business' human resource
planning. In all businesses, people are a vital resource - and
they need to be managed as such. The overall aim of the
recruitment and selection process is to obtain the number and
quality of employees that are required in order for the business
to achieve its objectives.
The Recruitment and Selection process promotes successful
hiring decisions that can truly impact the success of a
department or faculty.The selection of a candidate with the right
combination of education, work experience, attitude, and
creativity will not only increase the quality and stability of the
workforce, it will also play a large role in bringing management
strategies and planning to fruition.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS
The recruitment and selection is the major function of the
human resource department and recruitment process is the first
step towards creating the competitive strength and the strategic
advantage for the organisations. Recruitment process involves a
systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging
and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and
time. A general recruitment process is as follows:
Posts to be filled
Number of persons
Duties to be performed
Qualifications required
Preparing the job description and person specification.
Locating and developing the sources of required number
and type of employees (Advertising etc).
Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with
required characteristics.
Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.
Conducting the interview and decision making
Identify vacancy
Prepare job description and person specification
Advertising the vacancy
Managing the response
Short-listing
Arrange interviews
Conducting interview and decision making
The recruitment process is immediately followed by the
selection process i.e. the final interviews and the decision
making, conveying the decision and the appointment
formalities.
SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Every organisation has the option of choosing the candidates
for its recruitment processes from two kinds of sources: internal
and external sources. The sources within the organisation itself
(like transfer of employees from one department to other,
promotions) to fill a position are known as the internal sources
of recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other
sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the
external sources of recruitment.
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.
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)
4. EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGES:

5. LABOUR 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.
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
organisation.
1. RECRUITMENT POLICY:
The recruitment policy of an organisation specifies the
objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for
implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve
organizational system to be developed for implementing
recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up vacancies
with best qualified people.
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.
RECRUITMENT POLICY
In todays 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.

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 organisation
by the initial screening of the candidates according to the needs
of the organisation and creating a suitable pool of talent for the
final selection by the organisation. Outsourcing firms develop
their human resource pool by employing people for them and
make available personnel to various companies as per their
POACHING/RAIDING:
Buying talent (rather than developing it) is the latest mantra
being followed by the organisations today. Poaching means
employing a competent and experienced person already working
with another reputed company in the same or different industry;
the organisation 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
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 CVs in worldwide web, which can be drawn by
prospective employees depending upon their requirements.
RECRUITMENT VS SELECTION
Recruitment Home Recruitment Vs Selection
Both recruitment and selection are the two phases of the
employment process. The differences between the two are:
Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for
employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the
organisation 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 organisation, by attracting more and more employees
to apply in the organisation WHEREAS the basic purpose
of selection process is to choose the right candidate to fill
the various positions in the organisation.
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.
