  RECRUITMENT

PEPSICO employs through both formal and informal ways of recruitment. Departments tell their need to
HR department. And then recruitment is done on the requirement by the project.  All candidates send their
CV’s by post; they are then short listed and called. So those candidates then report at the PEPSICO from
where they are sent to the Human Resource Department for further interviews. But recently PEPSICO
has devised a new way of recruitment i.e. Online Applications. They give Ads in leading newspaper and
use some other mass media communication channels and then receive applications and CV’s online. In
this way huge paper work is reduced

and recruitment process is improved in terms of efficiency and convenience with the use of technology.

Sources of Recruitment

PEPSICO uses both Internal and External Recruitment. But the priority is given to the internal if the
employee has the capabilities, required by the management for working on that post. In Internal
recruitment they ask for employee referrals. Any employee can refer any competent and potential person
and if the referred person comes up to their expectations and hired, then the one who referred is
rewarded with a bonus. In External environment the company’s corporate Image matters a lot in a way
that not only new candidates are attracted but also people who became a part of it in past.

Internal Methods

PEPSICO usually prefers “Job Posting” in which employees from with in the organization are preferred
but if the organization feels that the employee is not competent enough then they go for external
methods. Such announcements are made through bulletin boards, memos and other internal sources.

External Methods

PEPSICO usually prefers advertising through newspapers and their official website for their recruitment
purposes. They give an open invitation to everyone to apply, so people who are interested come and if
they are capable enough they are hired. They don’t prefer any specific universities or colleges to get the
applicants, what matters are the potential talent and caliber of the person and his commitment to work.
Last year a scheme is started in which a

team of HR professionals visit different colleges and universities to recruit fresh and passionate
candidates.
  

Strategies for Recruitment

The recruitment process is likewise the same but minutely varies in the organization depending upon the
ranks. In recruitment PEPSICO keeps certain things in front e.g.

  What the person was getting (in terms of salary) prior to PEPSICO’s Job.

  Whether the person is polished enough to adjust in their environment.

  Whether he or she has the required technical skills or the required qualification for that specific job.

In PEPSICO they surely see qualifications but they prefer a person with required skills, aptitudes,
experience and capabilities.

      STRENGTHS

2-     They use the right techniques in recruiting.

      WEEKNESS

1-     At the time of the recruitment the most suitable and appropriate employee may not be available.

 
 

SELECTION

In PEPSICO, selection Criteria is based on numerous factors such as education, health, background and
previous experience.

 Selection process

1.     The Application

The employment application is candidate’s first chance to present his qualifications to the Organization.
As such, it is extremely critical for his/her continued participation in the examination process. Before
beginning, one has to review thoroughly what the Job Announcement specifies as the requirements to
qualify for the position. Candidate must meet these criteria to be considered for the position; ensure that,
otherwise candidate will be wasting his effort in completing the application. Most entries on the form are
self-explanatory, but a few pointers on filling it out may help

   2. Written Exams:

Written exams are usually obtained from one of several test construction firms available to them. These
tests are designed to determine level of technical and/or analytical abilities associated with the particular
position for which candidate had applied. The test which is conducted in PEPSICO selection purpose is
TEST OF COGNITIVE ABLITIES. This test is mostly taken from fresh graduates. Whereas, some people
are selected on the basis of experience.

3. Performance Exams:

Performance exams test ability to accomplish specific job-related tasks by providing the opportunity to
actually perform them. These tests are scheduled through the Human Resources Department office, with
notification in writing of the date, time, location and duration of the test. Instructions will be given on the
tasks to be completed and then asked to complete them. Individuals with considerable relevant
experience will conduct the evaluations. Safety, quality of work, adaptability, performance under stress,
etc. are evaluated.

 
 4. Specialized Testing

Some positions will require specialized testing, such as technical skills, agility and communication skills
etc. These tests are scheduled just as like other tests.

5. The Panel Interview

The results of this component of the exam process will be used to determine if candidate should be
included on the List of Eligible Candidates forwarded to the hiring authority for consideration for a
departmental Selection Interview.

This portion of the examination is normally weighted 100% (or as indicated on the Job Announcement).
Typically, previous test results are used only to qualify you for participation in the Panel Interview.

The Panel is comprised of qualified individuals, which may or may not be employees of the City.
Normally, the panel will consist of three evaluators. These individuals will evaluate responses to a variety
of job-related questions over the scheduled time period.

6. The Selection Interview

Once the List of Eligible Candidates is established it is sent to the Department(s) that is hiring to fill a
current vacancy. The Department Head is responsible for setting up Selection Interviews. He/she may
interview anyone on the list, since all persons referred to the department are qualified. The Department
Head will be looking for the candidate with the best qualifications for their particular position. The
candidate selected to fill the vacancy will undergo a medical examination, drug screen, background
investigation, and a probationary period before attaining permanent employment status.
