1 INTRODUCTION

Every organization has difficulty in finding good people, when it comes to the long-term
survival and prosperity of the firm. In simple terms, recruitment is the set of activities a firm
uses to attract job candidates possessing the abilities and attitudes necessary for the
enterprise to achieve its objectives. The recruitment process is a systematic, ongoing attempt
to find qualified prospects for existing or potential openings in the organization. All
organizations, whether large or small, do engage in recruiting activity, though not to the
same extent. This differs with:
The employment conditions in the community where the organization is located.

 The size of the organization.

 The effects of past recruiting efforts which shows the organization’s ability to locate and
keep good performing people.

 Working conditions and salary and benefit packages offered by the organization.

 The rate of growth of organization.

 Cultural, economic and legal factors etc.

“Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating to apply for
jobs in the organization” Identifying the source of potential employees and encouraging them to
apply for jobs in the organizations. It is the “linking activity” Bringing together those with the
jobs and those seeking jobs. It aims at securing as many applications from qualified candidates as
possible for decreasing hiring ratio. When more Persons apply for jobs, and then there will be a
scope for recruiting better persons. Thus recruitment involves locating, maintains and contacting
the sources of manpower. Recruitment has been regarded as the most important function of
personnel Administration, because unless the right type of people is hired, even the best plans,
organization charts and control systems would not do much good. Though theoretically,
recruitment process is said to end with the receipt of applications, in Practice the activity extends
to the screening of applications so as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the job.

Information Technology (IT) – a wonderful creation of man-brought significant shifts in
our day to day life. Software professionals are making significant strides in the information
technology industry. Employees may make the company into PROFIT or LOSS. So the
employees are the key assets of the company or organization. Thus, the employees make an
organization. These situations may rise to the few questions:

How to induce the people to make an organization but not to mar it? Every company or
organization is deeply interested in having an answer to this question. The answer to this
question centered on the following areas:

1 Getting the people who can make an organization.

2 Enabling those people to acquire required capabilities to make a successful organization.

3 Motivating them to contribute their resources continuously for running the organization
successfully.

We need to know an important concept i.e., human resources. People with required
skills to make an organization are generally referred to as human resources. Human resources
management means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and
compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirements with a view to
contribute to the goals of the organization, individual and the society.

Management should determine the kind of personnel required for a job and the number of
persons to be employed. The organization should also find out the “right man for the right
job”.

Insurance market include agents (individual and corporate), brokers, surveyors and third party
administrators servicing health insurance claims.

Market Size

Government's policy of insuring the uninsured has gradually pushed insurance penetration in the
country and proliferation of insurance schemes.

Gross premiums written in India reached Rs 5.53 trillion (US$ 94.48 billion) in FY18, with Rs
4.58 trillion (US$ 71.1 billion) from life insurance and Rs 1.51 trillion (US$ 23.38 billion) from
non-life insurance. Overall insurance penetration (premiums as % of GDP) in India reached 3.69
per cent in 2017 from 2.71 per cent in 2001.

In FY19 (up to October 2018), premium from new life insurance business increased 3.66 per
cent year-on-year to Rs 1.09 trillion (US$ 15.46 billion). In FY19 (up to October 2018), gross
direct premiums of non-life insurers reached Rs 962.05 billion (US$ 13.71 billion), showing a

3
year-on-year growth rate of 12.40 per cent.

Investments and Recent Developments

The following are some of the major investments and developments in the Indian insurance
sector.

 As of November 2018, HDFC Ergo is in advanced talks to acquire Apollo Munich Health
Insurance at a valuation of around Rs 2,600 crore (US$ 370.05 million).

Jhunjunwala announced that it would acquire India’s largest health insurer Star Health

 In September 2018, HDFC Ergo launched ‘E@Secure’ a cyber insurance policy for
individuals.

through public issues in 2017.

 In 2017, insurance sector in India saw 10 merger and acquisition (M&A) deals worth
US$ 903 million.

 India's leading bourse Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will set up a joint venture with
Ebix Inc to build a robust insurance distribution network in the country through a new
distribution exchange platform.

Government Initiatives

The Government of India has taken a number of initiatives to boost the insurance industry. Some

4
of them are as follows:

 In September 2018, National Health Protection Scheme was launched under Ayushman
Bharat to provide coverage of up to Rs 500,000 (US$ 7,723) to more than 100 million
vulnerable families. The scheme is expected to increase penetration of health insurance in
India from 34 per cent to 50 per cent.

 Over 47.9 million famers were benefitted under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
(PMFBY) in 2017-18.

 The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) plans to issue
redesigned initial public offering (IPO) guidelines for insurance companies in India,
which are to looking to divest equity through the IPO route.

 IRDAI has allowed insurers to invest up to 10 per cent in additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds
that are issued by banks to augment their tier 1 capital, in order to expand the pool of
eligible investors for the banks.

The Indian insurance industry:


The industry is on its way to development and a number of factors govern that growth. Some of
them are:

 Significantly untapped latent potential:  India’s insurance industry has witnessed


rapid growth during the last decade. Consequently, many foreign companies have
expressed their interest in investing in domestic insurance companies, despite the
Government of India’s regulation, which mandates that the foreign shareholding limit is
fixed at 26% for the life as well as non-life insurance sectors. How can this potential be
tapped efficiently? This report analyzes the issues of the industry and suggests methods
to overcome them.

 Recent regulatory developments that govern the current market


state: The development of the insurance industry in India is likely to be critically
dependent on the nature and quality of regulation. Overall, the regulatory environment is
favorable and takes care that players maintain prudent underwriting standards, and
reserve valuation and investment practices. The primary objective for the current
regulations is to promote stability and fair play in the market place. Our report details

5
some major regulations by the IRDA as well as those concerning ULIPS, IPOs, among
others.

What will drive market development in the Indian insurance industry?


There are certain factors that need to be considered by the Indian insurance industry to ensure a
seamless growth in business. Our report analyzes these factors in detail. Some of these include:

 Distribution channels: The effectiveness and cost of diverse distribution strategies


of different players is crucial in ensuring the success of players in the insurance business,
particularly in the retail lines of business.

 Focus on financial inclusion: The approach to insurance must be in sync with the


evolving times. The mission of the insurance sector in India should be to extend the
insurance coverage over a larger section of the population and a wider segment of
activities.

 Consumer needs and preferences: The growth in insurance industry has been


spurred by product innovation, vibrant distribution channels, coupled with targeted
publicity and promotional campaigns by the insurers. Innovation has come not only in the
form of benefits attached to the products, but also in the delivery mechanism through
various marketing tie-ups. All these efforts have brought insurance closer to the customer
as well as made it more relevant

It’s now been more than a decade since the opening up of the insurance sector in India to the
private sector and for foreign players. The past decade has seen considerable growth in the
insurance sector and has seen the introduction of a large number of innovative products – a
natural and positive outcome of increasing competition. The insurance sector plays a very crucial
role in the economy of any country – it increases avenues for savings of individuals, protects the
future of individuals and spreads risks of institutions by forming a large pool of fund. The sector
also contributes significantly to the capital markets and assists in large capital infrastructure
developments of our country through their funds.  

The insurance industry in India is divided into 2 basic sectors – Life Insurance and Non-life
Insurance (also called General Insurance and even called Property and Casualty or P&C ).
Both these sectors are governed by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority

6
(IRDA) of India which is a government body which frames the rules for the entire industry and
all insurance companies have to abide by them. IRDA is the policy maker for the entire
insurance industry in India and also serves as the custodian of consumers rights.

As the name suggests life insurance companies cover the risks associated with the life of a
person and non-life insurance companies cover other risks associated with our daily living like
health, our vehicles, travel and home insurance to name a few. Non-life insurance sector also
covers a lot of other risks in the corporate world – from simple office insurance to insuring entire
factories and industrial equipment’s. Over a period of time life insurance policies have started
incorporating an investment component along with the basic insurance cover so that your money
grows while it remains invested with the insurance companies – details about these types of
policies will be taken up in detail in the forthcoming posts in this series. But non-life insurance
companies have so far been restricted to pure risk cover itself.

History of insurance in India

There is a lot that can be written on the history of insurance in India, but it would take up a lot of
your time and make this a long article. Those interested may read it by . To put it in short, the
insurance sector had only government owned entities till a decade back. LIC (Life Insurance
Corporation of India) was the only life insurance provider. In the general insurance space there
were players like National Insurance, New India Assurance, Oriental Insurance and United India
Insurance which offered solutions. All this changed in the year 2000 when private players were
allowed to start operations. A host of private players entered this market and have been
aggressive ever since. As of now we have 23 life insurance companies and 24 general insurance
companies. There are a number of new players who are awaiting regulatory clearances and
approvals to start their business in India in both the life and general insurance sectors.

Current market Scenario

LIC is by far the biggest life insurance company in India both in terms of market share and their
presence in India – it is the only government owned entity. Most of the private players, in both
life and non-life sectors, have started business in India with the partnership of established
insurance players in the world. The expertise of these global players help the Indian insurance

7
companies perform much better as they can replicate the learning gained from other markets over
a large period of time. The foreign partner in any insurance company in India is not allowed to
own more than 26% of the shares in Indian insurance company as per IRDA regulations. We
have seen big financial groups in India like SBI, ICICI and HDFC enter this pace and become
aggressive players. Other famous corporate groups like the Tata’s, Birla’s and the Ambani’s
have also formed insurance companies.

List of Life Insurance Companies

While LIC has been around for a long time and is an extremely profit making venture, some of
the private players have just about started making profits on a year-on-year basis. It will take
some time before most of them break even. The life insurance business has a long gestation
period and it may take more than a decade to break even – so all players would be ready for the
same.

 List of Non-Life Insurance Companies

The core business of almost all non-life insurance companies in India are loss making. It
is only through investment income that these companies report profits. This is not a desirable
scenario and we should see a lot of upward price revisions in the coming years – some this has
already started. With an entry of every new player we see a effort to grab market share and drop
premiums. This has been the status of the general insurance companies for quite a few years and
as a result the premium collected are not proportionate to the risks and claims are either greater
than the premium collected or very close to it. Gradually, we are witnessing some companies
taking steps to correct this anomaly.

Why buy life insurance?

12
The need for life insurance in India has dramatically increased over the years. People find ulip
and term plans as a great investment tool. Among the many insurance companies in India, Bharti
AXA Life has a national footprint of distributors trained to provide quality financial advice and
insurance solutions to Indians.

In this cluttered marketplace, it can get confusing for the consumers to choose the best insurance
company. More importantly, they find it challenging to choose a brand they would like to
associate with. The driving motivation for our consumers today is performance through real
delivery specially in the key areas of products and services. Keeping this in mind, we have
adopted the "Strategy of Proof" framework. The strategy of proof is a concept that focuses on
implementation of real and rational benefits that the consumer expects. This Strategy of Proof is
driven by tangible proof-points.

What is a proof?

A proof is a solution that:

 Answers a customer expectation,

 Is differentiated from competition,

 Is tangible and communicable.

Building the strategy of proof requires collecting and understanding customer insights at every
level of consumer engagement and providing solutions in form of proof-points.

Through this brand positioning, Bharti AXA Life differentiates itself from other insurance
companies in India by questioning the norms within the category. Within the strategy of proof
framework, we launched the new brand signature "jeevan suraksha ka naya nazariya"
(Redefining Life Insurance). We believed that it reflected the essence of the brand and answers
the consumer expectation.

Strategy of Proof Campaigns

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

3.1 MEANING OF THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

Meaning:

29
Recruitment and Selection is an important step in the Human resources management.
Recruitment forms the first stage in the process which continues with selection and ceases with
the placement of the candidate. It is the next step in the procurement function, the first being the
manpower planning. Recruitment makes it possible to acquire the number and types of people
necessary to ensure the continued operation of the organization.

Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicants for actual or anticipated


organizational vacancies. In other words, it is a “linking activity” bringing together those with
jobs and those seeking jobs.

Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of Manpower to meet the requirements


of the staffing schedule and to employ the effective measures for attracting that manpower in
adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient working force.

Once the required number and the kind of human Resources are determined, the
management has to find the places where human resources will be available and also workout
strategies for attracting them towards the organization before selecting suitable candidates for the
jobs. This process is generally known as “Recruitment”. Some people use the term
“recruitment” for Employment”. These two are not one and the same. Recruitment is only one
of the steps in the entire employment process.

Some others use the term recruitment for selection. These two terms are different.
Technically speaking the function of recruitment precedes the selection function and it includes
only finding, developing the source of prospective employees and attracting them to apply for
jobs in an organization.

Recruitment function helps the organization to develop a pool of prospective human


resources. It is difficult for the HR manager to employ the suitable people out of the pool. In fact,
many organizations face critical problems in choosing the people. Selection techniques and
methods reduce the complexities in choosing the right candidates for the job.

After identifying the source of human resources, searching for prospective employees and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in an organization, here the management performs a vital role.

3 NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF RECRUITMENT

job.

The selection procedure is the system of functions and devices. Adopted in a given
company to ascertain whether the candidate’s specifications are matched with the job
specifications or not. The selection procedure will not be effective until and unless job analysis,
employee specifications and candidates for screening have been attracted.

Selection is long process, commencing from the preliminary Interview of the applicants
and ending with the contract of the employment. The hiring procedure is not a single act but it is
essentially a series of steps or methods by which additional information is secured.
