PDPL - Resolving Employee Recruitment Dilemma

Dashboard

Q.1. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company?

Analysing the graph, we can infer that 52.25% of the candidates are joining and 47.75% are not joining
the organization after getting the offer. As the offer acceptance rate is lower this creates cost overload for
the organization as the recruitment drives are expensive and time consuming. The vacancies not getting
filled within the stipulated time hampers the business operations and costs.

Q.2. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company in relation to
the notice period?

 It can be inferred from the graph that as the days of notice period is increasing, the offer
acceptance rate is decreasing. So, if the candidates have more time between the joining of the
organization, they tend to look for better offers by negotiating with the offer from PDPL to a
different company.
 It can also be inferred that PDLP should focus on hiring candidates having lesser work experience
around 0-45 days.

Q.3. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company in relation to
the work experience?
  Candidates with less than 6 months of work experience tend to switch jobs more than candidates
having higher work experience as they are always in search of better opportunities and roles.
 Candidates having lesser work experience tend to join the organization more than the candidates
having higher work experience, so organization should try to come up with better incentives and
compensation plans to attract experienced candidates.
 Hike beyond 30% are provided to higher experienced candidates.

Q.4. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company in relation to
the place of location?
  Candidate who are applying from metropolitan cities / industrial areas are willing to change their
location since the application rate is higher from those places so is the joining rate.
 Percentage of People joining the organisation from Bangalore is very high because people don't
have to relocate to a new city to join office.
 The organization may consider expanding their offices to newer location where the number of
applicants is higher as many people tend to reject the offer due to location barriers and personal
commitments.
 We can also infer that even the number of applications is high from certain locations but still when
diving deeper with respect to gender, the women applicants are very less.

Q.5. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company in relation to
the gender?
  Number of male applicants is more than the female applicants.
 The ratio of males joining the organization is more than the ratio of females joining the
organization. This might be due to reluctance towards changing location. The organization should
include gender diversity and try to offer better incentives for female on boarded candidates.
 The most of the senior positions are acquired by male candidates and gender diversity is too low.

Q.6. What inference can be drawn from trend of candidates joining/not joining the company in relation to
the marital status and percentage hike?
  The offer acceptance rate of unmarried candidates to married is more in each category of hike.
 49.80% of the total unmarried employees joined the service with 0-100% hike.
 The most of the joining from married (29%) and unmarried (40%) candidates out of total offers
rolled out are from 0-50% hike category.

List of recommendations to improve the recruitment process:

 Reduce the total time taken for recruitment –

- Time to Recruit, is a KPI which is defined as the average number of days required to recruit a
candidate right from receiving the application to the final onboarding.
- The issue faced by PDPL is that the candidates are using the current offer to negotiate a better
deal from some other company. By getting an early date of joining in the Joining Letter, the
candidates will not get the time to get a different offer from other companies.

 Hire more people from Bangalore –

- From the data given, we can observe that the ratio of ‘Candidates Joined’ to ‘Candidates not
Joined’ is highest in Bangalore.
- This is due to the fact that as the office is located in Bangalore, they won’t have to relocate
themselves to new place.
- Thus, by hiring more candidates from Bangalore, the issue of candidates not joining the company
after accepting the offer letter can be mitigated.

 Based on the data given, the candidates who satisfy the following conditions have higher probability
of joining PDPL
