motivation, organizational behavior, and selection assessments began to take shape. Human resource
management is a contemporary, umbrella term used to describe the management and development of
employees in an organization. Also called personnel or talent management (although these terms are a bit
antiquated), human resource management involves overseeing all things related to managing an

CHAPTER -4: Conclusion and Recommendation
In a nutshell, this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can conclude that
there have been a lot I’ve learnt from my work at Peacock Solar as an HR generalist. Needless to say,
the technical aspects of the work I’ve done are not flawless and could be improved provided enough
time.
As someone with no prior experience in the field of HR whatsoever I believe my time spent in
research and discovering it was well worth it and contributed to finding an acceptable solution to all
the problems that I have faced.
Two main things that I’ve learned the importance of are time-management skills and self-motivation.
25
4.2 RECOMMENDATION:
The following are the suggestions received from the respondents of the questionnaire. These
suggestions are based on their awareness regarding the Recruitment and Selection procedure.
During the selection process not only the experienced candidates but also the fresh
candidates.
In the organization where summer training facility prevailing then such kind of practices
must be adopted so that the student can learn and again from their practical views.
Candidates should be kept on the job for some time period; if suitable they should be
recruited. During the selection process, the candidates should be made relaxed and at
ease.
Company should follow all the steps of recruitment and selection for the selection of the
candidates.
The interview should not be boring, monotonous. It should be made interesting. There
must be
proper communication between the Interviewer and the Interviewee any the time of
interview.
Evaluation and control of recruitment and selection should be done fair judgment.
Methods used for selection of candidates should be done carefully and systematically
The attainment of goals and objective of any organization depend on the type and quality
of its manpower. To have right type of men at right job and at right time, the recruitment
26
and selection procedure should be fair and impartial.
