Observation
Mintex Fashion Limited doing their recruitment and selection process almost Similar like others
company does! We tried to collect few necessary information after recruiting workers what they
do and Mintex’s internal environment.

Medical Test: Mintex fashion limited never does any medical test after recruiting workers. But
almost every other company does this before joining. For example we can talk about OXY Tex;
they have been doing since the day they started recruiting.

Internal Environment: Mintex internal environment is very good except one thing; here only
higher level workers get the dining facilities to do their lunch. Lower level workers never get this
sort of facility. But a large number company providing a very good common dining space for
both higher and lower level workers.

Secret Observation: Now a day’s many companies doing secret observation after recruiting and
selecting workers. If their performance fails to reach their expectation company refuses to hire
this particular person. But here mintex doing wonderful job. Mintex does not allow any secret
observation.

Recommendation
After analyzing recruitment and selection procedures it’s clear that Mintex fashion limited are
following good criteria for recruiting and selecting appropriate employees. But we all know
there is always a place for improvement. To stay in the long run business they need to improve
few things.

Increase facilities: Mintex Fashion Limited’s workers need few more facilities , like dining
facilities, by doing this they can save time and increase production. This will help the workers to
maintain the very smooth relationship with co –workers and higher level workers. On the other
hand workers will get a place for refreshment or can take some rest. This will help to increase
the overall production speed.
