Q3) Concept of recruitment.
Ans:-Recruitment refers to the process of identifying, attracting, interviewing, selecting, hiring
and onboarding the qualified candidates to fill job vacancies within an organization. In other
words, it involves everything from the identification of a staffing need to filling it.
It involves various stages, such as job analysis, sourcing candidates through advertising,
networking, or internal referrals, evaluating applicants, conducting interviews, and selecting the
most suitable individuals to join the company. Effective recruitment aims to match the skills,
qualifications, and experience of candidates with the requirements of the vacant positions while
considering cultural fit and organizational needs.
Q4) Difference between recruitment and staffing.
Ans:-Staffing involves acquiring, employing, training, developing and retaining the most qualified
and competent candidates within an organisation. This process helps to achieve the goals and
objectives of the business. Staffing also allows employees to perform at their best to accomplish
managerial and operational tasks. It is one of the five critical functions of management.
There are several steps involved in the staffing process, which are as follows:
1) Workforce Planning – It is the process of determining the total vacancies within an
organisation.
2) Recruitment – This process helps companies find the most suitable candidates for vacancies
within the organisation and then persuade them to apply for those available positions.
3) Selection – This is one of the essential steps within the staffing function. The best candidates
are shortlisted from the recruitment process and offered the job within the organisation. This
process allows companies to hire suitable people for the correct positions.
4) Placement – This process involves introducing the newly recruited candidate to the company
via orientation
5) Training – The new employee is given job responsibilities and briefed by the reporting
manager on performing their duties.
6) Development – The employees need several opportunities to acquire more skills and be
assigned new responsibilities to showcase their talent. It allows the employer to evaluate the
capabilities of the recruit.
7) Promotion – If the employee performs well, they are eligible for due recognition. The
recognition can be in terms of an increase in their remuneration, designation or both.
8) Transfer – Employees can be transferred within different departments in organisations
depending on vacancies or suitability in the new role. It may or may not include increased
wages or additional responsibilities.
9) Appraisal – The employer reviews the employee’s performance regularly to evaluate their
work and suggest corrective measures if needed.
10) Remuneration – The employee’s salary is determined based on their current role in the
organisation and the job responsibilities within that function.
Recruitment is an integral part of the staffing process that involves actively searching for
candidates for a particular vacancy and encouraging them to apply for the position. Employees
recruit candidates from one of the two recruitment sources – Internal Sources (within the
organisation) or External Sources (outside the organisation).
Recruitment involves a step-by-step process. The steps are as follows:
1) Determine total vacancies – The Human Resources team coordinates with different
departments within an organisation to find possible vacancies. This process involves
determining the job responsibilities within a department and evaluating the ability of the current
workforce to handle those duties.
2)Job Descriptions – The next step is to prepare job descriptions for each of those profiles and
float them within different communication channels to reach out to prospective candidates.
3) Encourage prospective candidates to apply – The recruiters need to contact eligible job
seekers both within and outside the organisation. They also need to persuade those candidates
to apply for the position. Recruiters can either use internal sources (through promotion, transfer,
employee referrals or hiring former employees) or external sources (through advertising in job
portals and recruitment agencies, contacting educational institutions or recommendations from
existing employees).

Q5) concept of HRP.

Ans:- HRP is a process of sticking balance between human resources required and acquired in
an organization. In other words, HRP is a process by which an organization determines how it

Q5. Three important techniques of HR demand forecasting.

Ans. Human Resource (HR) demand forecasting is the process of estimating an organization's
future workforce needs based on its strategic goals and objectives. Several techniques are
commonly used in HR demand forecasting. Here are three important techniques:
1. Trend Analysis:
• Trend analysis involves studying historical data to identify patterns and trends related to
workforce changes.
• HR professionals analyze past workforce data, such as employee turnover rates, growth
patterns, and historical hiring trends.
• By identifying trends in the organization's workforce, HR can make informed predictions about
future staffing needs.
• This technique is particularly useful for organizations with stable and consistent growth
patterns.
2. Markov Model/Flow model: This is a dynamic forecasting model that uses a list of employees’
skills, education, training, work experience, qualifications, ability levels, etc. to forecast the
future talent and skill demands. The model allows HR leaders to fully forecast demand
probability and the number of possible internal hires and transfers, then forecast the internal
supply of human resources available within the organization.
3. Workload Analysis/Work study: This technique is suitable where the estimated workload is
easily measurable. In this forecasting method, the total estimated production of services/goods
for a predetermined period is forecasted. The HR team then estimates the number of
employees that will be hired to fulfil the forecasted production capacity based on past data.
4. Managerial Judgment Here, both the bottom-top and the top-down methods are used. In the
bottom-top approach, the crew informs the managers approximately the want of the human
resource to fulfill their dreams and targets. The managers took the initiative and allotted
extra-human assets in the groups or businesses within the top-down approach. Within the
former case, the records received from the top-line managers are used to forecast the human
applicable resource requirements. Therefore, the lowest-top approach considers the views and
evaluations of all the departments within the decision-making process. It is essentially possible
in the case of the decentralized gadget of commercial enterprise. While combining each of the
lowest pinnacle and top-down apporach will become a participative approach. It lets each
branch head and the top managers forecast the call for human resources together. Thus, it
might lead to greater coherence among the managers and task heads, an excellent way to
make the business enterprise environment extra friendly and sustainable, and there would be
no attention on electricity on the one hand.
5. Econometrics model On this technique, each statistical and mathematical strategy is utilized
and analyzed simultaneously to forecast destiny. The forecast is adjudged primarily based on
structured and unbiased variables. How the independent and based variables influence every
other is a chief deciding factor to the human aid forecast by way of the econometrics version.
 6.Delphi approach On this approach, professional opinion is considered to forecast the
requirement of human assets. Human resource control experts collect responses and develop
reviews that comprehensively summarize professional reviews. This system of collecting the
expert opinion maintains till a few consequences are reached amongst all the experts. It is
usually utilized in eventualities where the market or the sides therein are entirely unresponsive,
or they are not enough to garner support towards the forecast of human assets.

Q7. Designing of an onboarding or induction plan for the employees.
