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.
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 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.
