THE STUDY HYPOTHESIS

The human resources are the most important assets of an organization. The success or failure
of an organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people working therein. Without
positive and creative contributions from people, organizations cannot progress and prosper.

In order to achieve the goals or the activities of an organization, therefore, they need to
recruit people with requisite skills, qualifications and experience. While doing so, they have
to keep the present as well as the future requirements of the organization in mind.

The project report is about “Recruitment and Selection Process” that’s an important part of
any organization. Which is considered as a necessary asset of a company? In fact, recruitment
and selection gives a home ground to the organization acumen that is needed for proper
functioning of the organization. It gives an organizational structure of the company.

It’s a methodology in which the particular organization works and how a new candidate could
be recruited in such a way that he/she would be fitted for the right kind of career.

There are two types of factors that affect the Recruitment of candidates for the company

● Internal factors
● External factors

The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully
perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. Selection process or activities typically
follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial screening interview and concluding with
final employment decision.

Why do we need an appropriate Recruitment and Selection process?

Recruitment is the process of attracting qualified candidates for a job role and Selection is the
process of identifying and selecting the right candidate for that job.

The contributions of each employee play a pivotal role in the sustenance and growth of a
business. Hence it is extremely important to select the right person for the job. The same way
as a square peg does not fit in a round hole, a bad hire can affect the overall business
outcomes.

The impact to your business when you hire the wrong candidate is often much more than not
hiring a person at all! Recruitment is not only an operational activity but a key strategic
activity for the business.

Hence there is a need for developing a strong recruitment and selection process.

INTRODUCTION
In India, the average attrition rate in the BPO sector is approximately 30-35 percent.
It is true that this is far less than the prevalent attrition rate in the US market (around 70
percent), but the challenge continues to be greater considering the recent growth of the
industry in the country. The biggest challenge of the BPO industry is to control the attrition
rate by recruiting the right candidate for work as it increases the cost to the company(due to
training and administration cost, high recruitment cost)& loses the quality of human resource
from the organizations which ultimately affect the performance of the company.

As attrition is one of the major issue in Tech Mahindra Ltd it is necessary to study the cause
and as well as to evaluate control measures to reduce the Attrition rate to study the
recruitment process and find the linkages in that Process to modify the process of screening.

Tech Mahindra Ltd Company is one of the largest fast growing BPO Company not only in
India but also across the globe. As a leader in customer care and acquisition for over three
decades, Tech Mahindra has a track record of introducing process and technology
innovations. Today, several Fortune 500 clients trust Tech Mahindra to manage their
customer interaction, back office and other routine business processes. Therefore there is a
huge scope for H.R. and also to gain knowledge and to learn and to get experience of H.R.
work.

Objectives

⮚ To study the existing recruitment process in Tech Mahindra, Pune


⮚ To bring about feasibility and transparency in the process of recruitment.
⮚ To attract the right available talented candidates for the job.
⮚ To study the cost reduction in the process of recruitment.
⮚ To study the perception of employee regarding the recruitment and selection process.

● LITERATURE REVIEW

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a subset of outsourcing that involves


the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of a specific business process to a
third-party service provider. BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing, which
includes internal business functions such as human resources or finance and accounting,
and front office out sourcing, which includes customer-related services such as contact
centre services.

As the current sources of revenue face slower growth, software companies are trying new
ways to increase their revenues. BPO is top on their list today. IT services companies are
making a quick entry into the BPO space on the strength of their existing set of clients.

We will attempt to explain what it takes to setup a BPO facility in India. Actually, setting up a
call center is capital intensive. An ordinary BPO center that takes care of pure back office
operation [e.g. payroll, data entry] will not be as expensive as a call center.

The philosophy behind BPO is specific, do what you do best and leave everything else to
business process outsourcers. Companies are moving their non-core business processes to
outsource providers. BPO saves precious management time and resources and allows focus
while building upon core competencies. The list of functions being outsourced is getting
longer by the day.

Call centres apart, functions outsourced span purchasing and disbursement, order entry,
billing and collection, human resources administration, cash and investment management, tax
compliance, internal audit, pay roll…the list gets longer every day.

In view of the accounting scandals in 2002 [Enron, WorldCom, Xerox etc], more and more
companies are keen on keeping their investors happy. Hence, it is important for them to
increase their profits. BPO is one way of increasing their profits. If done well, BPO results in
increasing shareholder value.

Typically, a customer calls the call center [usually a toll-free number]. After pressing
numerous numbers [1 for English, 2 for Spanish, 3 for bank balance!] the operator will

answer your query by accessing the database. Call centres address sales support, airline/hotel
reservations, technical queries, bank accounts, client services, receivables, tele marketing,
market research.

India has enormous opportunities emerging from globalization and consequent lowering of
tariff barriers. Information Technology has given India formidable brand equity in the global
markets. Indian BPO companies have a unique distinction of providing efficient business
solutions with cost and quality as an advantage by using state of art technology.

● Brief Introduction about BPO Sector:

BPO Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the leveraging of technology vendors to provide
and manage a company's critical and/or non-critical enterprise applications. Through the
business transformation process of service-oriented transformation, which leverages the
technologies and standards of service-oriented architecture, companies can increasingly
leverage third party companies that act as business service providers. Business process
outsourcing can use off-shore resources, but is not required. Business process outsourcing
(BPO) is the act of giving a third-party the responsibility of running what would otherwise be
an internal system or service.

● Recruitment :

Recruitment (hiring) refers to the overall process of attracting, shortlisting, selecting and
appointing suitable candidates for jobs (either permanent or temporary) within an
organization. Recruitment can also refer to processes involved in choosing individuals for
unpaid roles. Managers, human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be
tasked with carrying out recruitment, but in some cases public-sector employment agencies,
commercial recruitment agencies, or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake
parts of the process. Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have
become widespread.

● Process:

1. Job analysis:

In situations where multiple new jobs are created and recruited for the first time or vacancies
are there or the nature in such documents as job descriptions and job specifications. Often, a
company already has job descriptions for existing positions. Where already drawn up, these
documents may require review and updating to reflect current requirements. Prior to the
recruitment stage, a person specification should be finalized.

2. Sourcing:

Sourcing is the use of one or more strategies to attract or identify candidates to fill job
vacancies. It may involve internal and/or external recruitment advertising, using appropriate
media, such as job portals, local or national newspapers, social media (such
as LinkedIn or RiteSite), business media, specialist recruitment media, professional
publications, window advertisements, job center’s, or in a variety of ways via the internet.

Alternatively, employers may use recruitment consultancies or agencies to find otherwise


scarce candidates—who, in many cases, may be content in the current positions and are not
actively looking to move. This initial research for candidates—also called name
generation—produces contact information for potential candidates, whom the recruiter can
then discreetly contact and screen.

3. Screening and selection:

Various psychological tests can also used by the recruiters for screening the candidates.
Assessments are also available to measure physical ability. Recruiters and agencies may
use applicant tracking systems to filter candidates, along with software tools for psychometric
testing and performance-based assessment. In many countries, employers are legally
mandated to ensure their screening and selection processes meet equal opportunity and
ethical standards.

Employers are likely to recognize the value of candidates who encompass soft skills such as
interpersonal or team leadership. Many companies, including multinational organizations and
those that recruit from a range of nationalities, are also often concerned about whether
candidate fits the prevailing company culture. Companies and recruitment agencies are now
turning to video screening as a way to notice these skills without the need to invite the
candidates in physical. Screening as a practice for hiring has undergone continual change
over the years and often organizations are using video to maintain the aforementioned
standards they set for themselves and the industry.

● SWOT analysis on Indian BPO sector:

A. Strengths:
1. Highly skilled, English-speaking workforce
2. Abundant manpower
3. Cheaper workforce than their Western counterparts According to Nasscom, The
wage difference is as high as 70-80 percent when compared to their Western parts.
4. Lower attrition rates than in the West.
5. Dedicated workforce aiming at making a long-term career in the field 1 Electronic
copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1457838
6. Round-the-clock advantage for Western companies due to the huge time difference.
7. Lower response time with efficient and effective service
8. Operational excellence
9. Conducive business environment

B. Weaknesses:
1. Recent months have seen a rise in the level of attrition rates among outsourcing
workers who are quitting their jobs to pursue higher studies. Of late workers have
shown a tendency not to pursue BPO as a full-time career.
2. The cost of telecom and network infrastructure is much higher in India than in the US.
3. Local infrastructure
4. Political influence

Amity University, Noida

C. Opportunities:
1. To work closely with associations like Nasscom to portray India as the most
favored BPO destination in the world.
2. India can be branded as a quality outsourcing destination.
3. $69 billion ITES business by 2010
4. $97.5 billion IT (consulting, software solutions) market by 2010

D. Threats:
1. The anti-outsourcing legislation in the US state of New Jersey. Three more states
in the United States are planning legislation against outsourcing Connecticut,
Missouri and Wisconsin.
2. Workers in British Telecom have protested against outsourcing of work to Indian
BPO companies.
3. Other BPO destinations such as China, Philippines and South Africa could have
an edge on the cost factor.

E. Scope:
The scope of this process is as mentioned below:

a) To significantly improve the Candidate’s interview experience.

b) Build efficiencies for recruitment, resources to conduct unbiased and rational


assessments.

2. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES.


"Employee Development" was seen as too evocative of the master-slave relationship
between employer and employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners" or
"associates" to be comfortable with. "Human Resource Development" was rejected by
academics, who objected to the idea that people were "resources" — an idea that they felt to
be demeaning to the individual. Eventually, the CIPD settled upon "Learning and
Development", although that was itself not free from problems, "learning" being an over
general and ambiguous name. Moreover, the field is still widely known by the other names.

Training and development (T&D) encompasses three main activities: training, education, and
development. Garavan, Costine, and Heraty, of the Irish Institute of Training and
Development, note that these ideas are often considered to be synonymous. However, to
practitioners, they encompass three separate, although interrelated, activities.

Training: This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an
individual currently holds.

Education: This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold in the
future, and is evaluated against those jobs.

Development: This activity focuses upon the activities that the organization employing the
individual, or that the individual is part of, may partake in the future, and is almost
impossible to evaluate.

The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes. The
sponsors of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training and
development are business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching, resources,
and performance. The participants are those who actually undergo the processes. The
facilitators are Human Resource Management staff. And the providers are specialists in the
field. Each of these groups has its own agenda and motivations, which sometimes conflict
with the agendas and motivations of the others.

The conflicts are the best part of career consequences are those that take place between
employees and their bosses. The number one reason people leave their jobs is conflict with
their bosses. And yet, as author, workplace relationship authority, and executive coach, Dr.
John Hoover points out, "Tempting as it is, nobody ever enhanced his or her career by
making the boss look stupid." Training an employee to get along well with authority and with
people who entertain diverse points of view is one of the best guarantees of long-term
success. Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't compensate for a sour relationship with a
superior, peer, or customer.

The organization philosophy should be kept in mind while formulating the recruitment
procedure.
The HR department would set the recruitment norms for the organization. However,
the onus of effective implementation and compliance with the process rests with the heads of
the respective functions and departments who are involved in the recruitment and selection
process.
The process is aimed at defining the series of activities that needs to be performed by
different persons involved in the process of recruitment, the checks and control measures to
be adopted and information that has to be captured.
Recruitment and Selection is conducted by:
v HR & Branch Manager
v Functional Head

RECRUITMENT PLANNING
Recruitment planning on the basis of budget
A. The manpower planning process for the year would commence with the company’s budgeting
activity. The respective Functional heads would submit the manpower requirements of their
respective functions/ departments to the board of Directors as part of the annual business plan
after detailed discussion with the head of human Resource Function along with detailed
notes in support of the projected numbers assumptions regarding the direct and indirect salary
costs for each position.
B. A copy of the duly approved manpower plan would be forwarded by the HR department for
their further actions during the course of the year. The annual budget would specify the
manpower requirement of the entire organization, at different levels, in various
functions/departments, at different geographical locations and the timing of the individual
requirements. It would also specify the requirement budget, which is the cost allotted towards
the recruitment of the budgeted staff and the replacement of the existing employees. The
manpower plan would also clearly indicate the exact time at which the incumbent should be
on board in such a way that the Regional HR has adequate notice for the time lapses involved
in sourcing any other activities.
C. The Regional HR’s would undertake the planning activity and necessary preparations in
advance of the anticipated requirements, as monthly and quarterly activities on the basis of
the approved budget, estimated separations and replacements therefore.

Amity University, Noida


pg. 16
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

D. The vacancies sought to be filled or being filled shall always be within the approved annual
manpower budget and no recruitment process shall be initiated without the formal
concurrence of the Head of the Regional HR under any circumstance. Head of the Regional
HR shall also have the responsibility to monitor the appointments being considered at any
point of time with specific respect to the duly approved manpower budgets.
Review of Manpower Plans and Additional Manpower
A. Review of manpower budgets shall take place on a quarterly basis. In the event of
any new position or any deviations to the original plans, details of the positions
maybe forwarded to the VP-HR along with the adequate supporting information. The
recommendations would normally require a formal approval of the Managing
Director. Alternately, VP-HR may record the summary of his discussion with the
Managing Director and the MD’s approval on the recommendations, to signify the
final decision taken regarding the recommendations.

SOURCING OF SUITABLE CANDIDATES


Selection of Sources
Regional HR would tap various sources/channels for getting the right candidate.
Depending on the nature of the position/grade, volumes of recruitment and any other relevant
factors, the Regional HR would use any one multiple sources such as:
❖ Existing database (active application data bank);
❖ Employee referral as per any company scheme that may be approved from time to
time;
❖ Advertisement in the internet/newspapers/magazines/company’s sites/job sites or
any other media;
❖ Placement Agencies (particularly for positions of Managers and above);
❖ Headhunting firms particularly for senior positions, specialist positions and critical
positions;
❖ Direct recruitment from campuses/academic institutes;
❖ Job websites and
❖ Any other appropriate sources.
The norms for using any of the sources are not water tight. Number of positions,
criticality of positions and the urgency of the positions, confidentiality requirements, relative
efficacy and cost considerations would play a role in the choice of the appropriate sourcing
mechanism.

ADVERTISEMENTS
❖ All recruitment advertisements (in any form and any medium) shall always
conform to the KLI compliance norms and would not be released by any department
or branch without the approval of the VP-HR. depending on the specifics of each
position for which recruitment advertisements are to be released, Regional HR may
obtain assistance from the company’s marketing department and/or any external
advertising agencies for the preparation of the contents. Key features of the positions
as notified by the Functional Heads would normally form a part of the advertisement
text.

Amity University, Noida

❖ The media for releasing advertisement would depend on the level of the position
being considered and the urgency of the requirements.
❖ The advertisement mode that could be broadly specified as newspapers (local or
mainline depending on requirements), internet sites and business magazines.
Placement Agencies/Headhunting Agencies
Depending upon the vacancies, fresher fitting different description listed above may be
recruited from time to time, from academic institutes of appropriate
standards/reputation/grade, in the requisite numbers and at the compensation/stipend
amounts to be formally approved of the VP-HR. Plans for such recruitment need specific
special approval of VP-HR. norms regarding the identification of the appropriate
institutes, constitution of the selection panels, timings of the recruitment, number of
candidates to be recruited into different positions, choice of the appropriate selection
process and the tools thereof shall be decided by the Head of the Regional HR in
consultation with the VP-HR, depending on the specific features of the position.

● CONCEPTIUAL BACKGROUND OF RECRUITMENT


PROCESS

Working definitions:
Recruitment

Full-cycle recruiting is a term used by human resources specialists who manage the
recruitment process from start to finish. Full-cycle recruiting begins with sourcing
candidates, which means looking for prospective applicants whose qualifications
might be suitable for the job openings you have. Sourcing has evolved in the past
several years with the proliferation of job and career sites. Many of the newspapers

Amity University, Noida

To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

that once had pages of job listings in the Sunday edition have been replaced by job
sites such as CareerBuilder and Monster.

Selection
Once the applicant has become a candidate, it means He/she has the requisite skills to
warrant an investment of resources necessary to schedule, prepare and conduct an
interview. These days interviews are one of the most important factors in the selection
process because the recruiter and hiring manager are looking at more than what can
the candidate do for the Large Scale Industries. They are looking for soft skills the
candidate may have in terms of building teams, working in collaboration with other
professionals, and what the candidate can bring to the Large Scale Industries that no
other candidate can. Interviews may be one-on-one for administrative and support
positions; however, candidates for management and director level positions can
expect to be panel interviewed and judged on their capability to interact with a variety
of personalities while presenting his/ her qualifications in a manner that sells his/ her
capabilities to the prospective employer.

● HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Human Resources Development (HRD) as a theory is a framework for the expansion


of human capital within an organization through the development of both the organization
and the individual to achieve performance improvement. Adam Smith states, “The
capacities of individuals depended on their access to education”. The same statement
applies to organizations themselves, but it requires a much broader field to cover both
areas.

Human Resource Development is the integrated use of training, organization, and career
development efforts to improve individual, group and organizational effectiveness. HRD
develops the key competencies that enable individuals in organizations to perform current
and future jobs through planned learning activities. Groups within organizations use HRD
to initiate and manage change. Also, HRD ensures a match between individual and
organizational needs.

1. Tech Mahindra and Microsoft Enable a Robust Blockchain-Based Ecosystem to
Fight Spam Calls in India:

New Delhi – August 27, 2020: Tech Mahindra, a leading provider of digital transformation,
consulting and business re-engineering services and solutions, announced today its
collaboration with Microsoft to create a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-based solution
to build a robust ecosystem in line with the regulations issued by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory
Authority of India). Based on Blockchain technology and built on Microsoft Azure the
solution aims at mitigating the issue of unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) in the
country.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has stated that UCC or spam calls are a
major nuisance to telecom subscribers across the country and has been working with
stakeholders to curb this menace. TRAI had established a "Do Not Disturb" (DND) registry
in 2010, however, while the registry has more than 23 crore subscribers, unregistered
telemarketers continue to spam customers, obtaining their consent through fraudulent tactics.
Tech Mahindra and Microsoft have been jointly working with TRAI on this issue since the
time this regulation was being formally structured and have designed this solution post a
series of collective sessions with the regulator and multiple stakeholders in the value chain.

“Blockchain as a technology is a powerful tool to combat the issue of spam calls and fraud
risks, to protect user information, as well as the integrity of the telecom sector. This
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-based solution will enable enterprises to stop financial
frauds and perpetration of misleading financial information by unregistered telecom
marketers who rampantly use the SMS service of Telcos”, said Rajesh Dhuddu, Global
Practice Leader, Blockchain, Tech Mahindra. “Tech Mahindra is focused to solve real
business problems of our customers and partner ecosystem by investing in next gen
technologies like Blockchain under the TechMNxt charter,” he added

⮚ Opportunity to rotate responsibilities- Team leaders gives opportunities to
executives also to learn and handle his/ responsibilities. This provides them a chance
to learn for their betterment and growth in company.
⮚ Trainings- TECH MAHINDRA, Pune has recently taken the initiative to provide
trainings to its employees. Example. TECH MAHINDRA has taken this initiative by
planning monthly training programs on EXCEL.
⮚ Fun Element- TECH MAHINDRA believes that work pressure can be reduced and
work place can be made more congenial by engaging employees in fun activities.
So, it organizes “FUN FRIDAY” as one of the fun day where many activities, fun

● RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

(A) Internal Sources:


Best employees can be found within the organisation… When a vacancy arises in the
organisation, it may be given to an employee who is already on the pay-roll. Internal sources
include promotion, transfer and in certain cases demotion. When a higher post is given to a

Amity University, Noida


pg. 55
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

deserving employee, it motivates all other employees of the organisation to work hard. The
employees can be informed of such a vacancy by internal advertisement.

Methods of Internal Sources:


1. Transfers:
Transfer involves shifting of persons from present jobs to other similar jobs. These do not
involve any change in rank, responsibility or prestige. The numbers of persons do not
increase with transfers.

2. Promotions:

Promotions refer to shifting of persons to positions carrying better prestige, higher


responsibilities and more pay. The higher positions falling vacant may be filled up from
within the organisation. A promotion does not increase the number of persons in the
organisation.

A person going to get a higher position will vacate his present position. Promotion will
motivate employees to improve their performance so that they can also get promotion.

3. Present Employees:
The present employees of a concern are informed about likely vacant positions. The
employees recommend their relations or persons intimately known to them. Management is
relieved of looking out prospective candidates.

Advantages of Internal Sources:


The Following are The Advantages of Internal Sources:

1. Improves morale:
When an employee from inside the organisation is given the higher post, it helps in increasing
the morale of all employees. Generally every employee expects promotion to a higher post
carrying more status and pay (if he fulfills the other requirements).

2. No Error in Selection:

Amity University, Noida


pg. 56
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

When an employee is selected from inside, there is a least possibility of errors in selection
since every company maintains complete record of its employees and can judge them in a
better manner.

3. Promotes Loyalty:
It promotes loyalty among the employees as they feel secured on account of chances of
advancement.

4. No Hasty Decision:
The chances of hasty decisions are completely eliminated as the existing employees are well
tried and can be relied upon.

5. Economy in Training Costs:


The existing employees are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the
organisation. The existing employees require little training and it brings economy in training
costs.

6. Self-Development:
It encourages self-development among the employees as they can look forward to occupy
higher posts.

Disadvantages of Internal Sources:


(i) It discourages capable persons from outside to join the concern.

(ii) It is possible that the requisite number of persons possessing qualifications for the vacant
posts may not be available in the organisation.

(iii) For posts requiring innovations and creative thinking, this method of recruitment cannot
be followed.

(iv)If only seniority is the criterion for promotion, then the person filling the vacant post may
not be really capable.

Inspite of the disadvantages, it is frequently used as a source of recruitment for lower


positions. It may lead to nepotism and favouritism. The employees may be employed on the
basis of their recommendation and not suitability.

(B) External Sources:

All organisations have to use external sources for recruitment to higher positions when
existing employees are not suitable. More persons are needed when expansions are
undertaken.

The external sources are discussed below:


Methods of External Sources:
1. Advertisement:
It is a method of recruitment frequently used for skilled workers, clerical and higher staff.
Advertisement can be given in newspapers and professional journals. These advertisements
attract applicants in large number of highly variable quality.

Preparing good advertisement is a specialised task. If a company wants to conceal its name, a
‘blind advertisement’ may be given asking the applicants to apply to Post Bag or Box
Number or to some advertising agency.

2. Employment Exchanges:
Employment exchanges in India are run by the Government. For unskilled, semi-skilled,
skilled, clerical posts etc., it is often used as a source of recruitment. In certain cases it has
been made obligatory for the business concerns to notify their vacancies to the employment
exchange. In the past, employers used to turn to these agencies only as a last resort. The
job-seekers and job-givers are brought into contact by the employment exchanges.

3. Schools, Colleges and Universities:


Direct recruitment from educational institutions for certain jobs (i.e. placement) which
require technical or professional qualification has become a common practice. A close liaison
between the company and educational institutions helps in getting suitable candidates. The
students are spotted during the course of their studies. Junior level executives or managerial
trainees may be recruited in this way.

4. Recommendation of Existing Employees:

Amity University, Noida


pg. 58
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

The present employees know both the company and the candidate being recommended.
Hence some companies encourage their existing employees to assist them in getting
applications from persons who are known to them.

In certain cases rewards may also be given if candidates recommended by them are actually
selected by the company. If recommendation leads to favouritism, it will impair the morale of
employees.

5. Factory Gates:
Certain workers present themselves at the factory gate every day for employment. This
method of recruitment is very popular in India for unskilled or semi-skilled labour. The
desirable candidates are selected by the first line supervisors. The major disadvantage of this
system is that the person selected may not be suitable for the vacancy.

Suitability of External Sources of Recruitment:


External Sources of Recruitment are Suitable for The Following Reasons:
(i) The required qualities such as will, skill, talent, knowledge etc., are available from
external sources.

(ii) It can help in bringing new ideas, better techniques and improved methods to the
organisation.

(iii) The selection of candidates will be without preconceived notions or reservations.

(iv)The cost of employees will be minimum because candidates selected in this method will
be placed in the minimum pay scale.

(v) The entry of new persons with varied experience and talent will help in human resource
mix.

(vi)The existing employees will also broaden their personality.

(vii) The entry of qualitative persons from outside will be in the long-run interest of the
organisation.

Research:

Amity University, Noida


pg. 59
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

Research is the decision regarding what, where, when, how much, by what means concerning
an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design. It can be defined as the
arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine
the relevant to the research purpose to the economy procedure. Research is needed because it
facilitate the smooth sailing of the various research operations, thereby making research as
efficient as possible yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of effort, time
and money. In fact, research design has a great bearing on the reliability of the results arrived
at end as such constitutes the firm foundation of the entire edifice of the research work. There
are two types of data.

Primary Data:

Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus happen
to be original in character. Secondary data on the other hand, are those which have already
been collected by someone else and which have already being passed through the statistical
process. The methods of collecting primary and secondary data differ since; primary data are
to be originally collected, while in the case of secondary data, the nature of data collection
work is merely that of compilation. A questionnaire is sent to the persons concerned with the
request to answer the question and return the questionnaire. The questionnaire is mail to
respondents who are expected to read and understand the questions and write down the reply
in the space lent for the purpose in the questionnaire itself. The respondents have to answer
the questions on their own. The sample size for the study is = 300
Data analysis is very important aspect of project, as it basically involves the analysis of all
the information that we collected. The information collected needs to be analyzed so that we
can interpret the information and provides the justification for the work we have done during
our research. Data analysis is a body of methods that help to describe facts, detect patterns,
develop explanations and test hypothesis. Data analysis has been done with the help of SPSS
software. After the respondents had filled in the questionnaires, the data was entered into the
software and the analysis was made thereby. The data has been presented in the form of
graphs, bar charts, pie charts etc. After analysis of each of the question in a questionnaire the
interpretation of the same is also being provided which includes the reason about the
particular aspect of the organization and we can also judge the frequency and application of
the same in a particular context so that we are able to find out the exact fact behind the
particular aspect of an organization on which are whole project report is based.

Analysis of Opinion on Recruitment and Selection Process of the Organization:


Collecting data properly from employees become difficulty due to the time constraint.

• Busy schedule of the employees also effected to some extent.


• There is a chance for bias in the information given by the respondents.
• The study was based on sample hence results were not fully absolute.
The purpose of this section is to describe the methodology carried out to complete the
work. The methodology plays a dominant role in any research work. The effectiveness of
any research work depends upon the correctness and effectiveness of the research
methodology.

Research design:-

Exploratory research:-The research design used in this project is the exploratory type.
Exploratory type of research is used because the sources of information are relatively few
and the purpose is merely to find and to understand the possible actions. The exploratory
study is often used as an introductory phase of a larger study and results are used in
developing specific technique for larger study.

Sampling technique:-

Judgmental Sampling Judgmental sampling is a form of convenience sampling in which


the population elements are selected based on the judgment of the researcher. Target
population and Sample size.

• The target population was the employees of the HR department of Tech Mahindra. The
employees targeted were of all age group.

• A sample size of 30 employees has been taken.

❖ FINDINGS.

FINDINGS OF STUDY:
The findings during the work carried out by me can be categorized into two

Amity University, Noida


pg. 61
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

A) Positive findings:-

1. A majority of employees feel that recruitment process carried out in their companies are
satisfactory. Management is also satisfied with the process of recruitment to some extent.

2. Most of the employees feel that the HR department is good. About 58% of the managers

organization. 68% of the employees have achieved their training objectives.

4. Superiors are very supportive and helps their sub-ordinates in achieving their objectives

5. The management has understood the importance of systematic appraisal system & they are
taking every effort to implement it properly.

6. The training programme arranged for performance appraisal is good. The trainer is also
very effective to make the employees understand the concept.

7. The performance appraisal training programme is appreciated by the employees & they are
really benefited by it.

B) Negative findings:-

1. Some employees were moderately or not much satisfied with the process of recruitment.

2. Since rules and regulations are very dynamic, so most of the employees face difficulty to
adjust with them.

3. Most of the candidates do not turn up when they are called up for the interview.

4. Regional behavior and language influence is higher during training and even after
delivering their language; the desired effects are not seen.

5. Most of the employees slowly understand the importance of performance appraisal.

The findings from the analysis including charts, bars, and graphs are listed as follows:-

• The company considered portals as the most important medium of hiring employees and
then employee references are also act as the important source of recruiting people and
also with my working experience with the company I found them most effective.

• The employees working in the company consider the employee references are one of
the most reliable source of hiring the new employees and also to some extent portals, but

Amity University, Noida


pg. 62
To study Recruitment and selection process of Tech-Mahindra Company, Pune

before hiring from portals the references provided there are need to be confirmed as I did
during my training period.

• The most important feature in company’s recruitment &selection policy is that we need
to take in consideration the ratio between the turn-up and line-up candidates, and after
analysis I found it most of the employees are also holding the same opinion.

• The existing recruitment process of company is good but it has some shortcomings that
is being Covered in recommendations and on overall the recruitment department has
pressure on it.

• After analysis of the company selection procedure I found out the company is using
quite effective method of doing selection of candidates and they always take in
consideration the cost-benefit ratio which is quite important from the long perspective of
hiring employees.

• The ratio of selected candidates to joining candidates is quite effective and highest in
number as the employees being selected are also of the view that they are analyzed
properly and effectively.

LIMITATIONS:-
The study is subjected to following limitations:

The Study is based on data provided by the company statements, the


limitations of company's employees remaining are equally
applicable.

on the back side of their resume. These essay and email is checked by the panel in the
second round.

I learned how to take the HR interview, how to shortlist candidates for the different
processes. Took interviews for almost 10- 15 days and learned how to take interview, how
to motivate those candidates which are facing the interview for the first time, explaining
the shift timing and salary structure to the selected candidates.

LOI consists the all the information of the candidate ie. Name contact no, email ID,
present address, permanent address, date of birth, highest qualification, source, aadhar no,
Pan no, Blood group, birth place and birth state etc.

We have to maintain the LOI data of all the batches properly and publish the AID by that
time.

In 9th week, I learned how to make the applicant ID ie AID of the employees. We are
using the LOI data which is filled by the candidate to make the AID. Each employee has
their unique employee ID. We have to fill the information of the employee on the site of
Tech Mahindra ie PACE HR. on this site we have fill the accurate information of each
employee. Their educational qualification, martial status, nationality, email ID, contact
no, mothers and fathers name, address both present as well as permanent. We used to
make 30 to 40 AID’s per day.

employee ID of the panel member, date of the interview, score of the test, result of the
test, overall rating of that candidate (1to 5), final status of the candidate ie selected or
rejected. We used to close 30 to 40 AID’s pages per day.

dockets which is having incomplete documents. For example in the experienced batch the
important document is their educational qualification and their ID proof and experience

category.
● The company do utilize internet sites for recruitment process and for finding the
talent candidate.
● It is observe that the company are utilizing the job description in order to make
screening process more efficient.

● IMPLICATIONS OF THEORY AND PRACTICE

⮚ Company should go for campus drive.

From my point of view to collect the footfall from wander, employee reference so
also if they visited to campus placement they get good fresher candidates for their
work.

⮚ Also for job fairs organized by wanders

As in studied the recruitment process Tech Mahindra there as more than 25


wanders connected with within a month few of them organize the job fair so
company have to visit there to collect the candidates .

⮚ Company have to collect the feedback of employee who left the organization.

As BPO industry the attrition ration is very high employee leave the organization
so they have to appoint the special committee to collect the feedback to improve
the structure of organization and quality of work.

⮚ Reduce the attrition ratio.


⮚ Regular interaction with wanders or employment agencies.
⮚ Recruitment should not be lengthy.

FUTURE PLANS OF THE ORGANIZATION-

BENGALURU: Tech Mahindra said it opened its first ‘factory-of-the-future’ centre, as


the IT company aims at gaining a bigger share of the move to smart manufacturing.
Smart manufacturing involves the use of robotics, sensors, data analytics and artificial
intelligence to improve productivity. The move widens the potential market for IT service
providers who would have to build solutions to tie together the different technologies.
“Industries world-over are going through a massive transformation, a transformation that
is driven by the advances in newer technologies, especially things like IoT and Robotics,”
L Ravichandran, President and Chief Operating Officer at Tech Mahindra said.
