INTRODUCTION
TO THE TOPIC
Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them
to apply for jobs in the organization .To recruit means to enlist, replenish or reinforce. It
refers to the process of bringing together prospective employees and employer with a
view to stimulate and encourage the former to apply for a job with the latter. The primary
purpose of recruitment and selection is to achieve one desired aim i.e. picking the right
person for the right jobs
Selection is the process of carefully screening the candidates to choose the most suitable
person for the job vacancies to be filled. Under it qualifications, training, experience, and
background of applicant are evaluated in the light of job requirement. It divides the
candidates into two categories namely,
a) Those who are employed.
b) Those who are to be rejected..
smooth functioning of the systems. Every search conducted for a new employee shapes
the future of the organization. Each search has the potential of adding to the range of key
talents,
capabilities and working styles essential for organizations success.
It is also true that there is a risk in every search. If not given the time, attention and
careful thought, there is a risk of making a bad match between candidate and position in
ways that hamper the companys success. The objective of the project undertaken is to
understand and improve the process of Recruitment & Selection.
Staffing is about "hiring the right people with the right skills at the right time."
Making sure you hire well is so important! Committed, motivated, qualified employees
are the reason your organization achieves its purpose. Like other small organizations you
cannot afford to be short-staffed. Your limited financial resources mean that hiring
mistakes can be a huge financial burden. Hiring the wrong person is a poor use of
resources for recruiting and orienting a new staff member, and the cost is compounded
when a hiring mistake erodes employee morale, disrupts your office and perhaps even
causes a valued employee to quit. Repairing the damage can take a lot of time and effort.
Hiring the right people takes time and careful planning. And hiring efforts are more likely
to pay off when the groundwork to support them is in place

traditionally the countrys largest manufacturer and marketer of refrigerators. With the
manufacturing base in Faridabad, Haryana, this association also yielded a network of
over 3500 trade dealers.

Corporation
Today
Building
Customer
Loyalty Worldwide
Whirlpool Corporation arrived in the new century and millennium as the world's leading
manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances. Today, Whirlpool's global
platform provides our operations with resources and capabilities no other manufacturer
can match and with brands that consumers trust.
To sustain the productivity savings that are being achieved by our operations, we have
embedded our Operational Excellence process based on Six-Sigma and lean
manufacturing skills and capabilities within each of our worldwide manufacturing
facilities. The company's global information technology organization provides Internet
tools that cut the complexity and costs of doing business for Whirlpool and its trade
partners. Whirlpool's unique global platform allows the company to transfer key
innovations and processes across regions and brands.
Based on the continuing success of the company's global innovation process, which
began in 1999, Whirlpool has introduced unique product innovations to consumers
worldwide. Over the last three years, Whirlpool has built and embedded within its global
enterprise the skills and capabilities required to discover, develop and rapidly bring to
market true innovation. These innovations are giving the company's global brands a
sustainable competitive advantage in the marketplace and creating value for customers,
trade partners and shareholder.
WHIRLPOOL STRATEGY
The innovations are part of Whirlpool's strategy of building customer loyalty by applying
a deeper, fundamental understanding of customers' needs, desires and lifestyles. The
Whirlpool Duet clothes washer and dryer pair (HE3t under Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s
Kenmore Elite brand), which was launched nationwide in 2002, is a prime example. The
Whirlpool Duet washer blends European front-load technology with a striking design
that appeals to U.S. consumers interested in large-load wash capacity, excellent energy
efficiency and cost savings, and the best overall fabric-care performance. Launched under
the Whirlpool and Bauknecht brands as Dreamscape and big, respectively, the European
versions of the Duet washer provide the same benefits and high level of performance with
designs and features that appeal to European consumers. Cross-regional teams of product
development engineers continue to collaborate innovation initiatives for regional and
global distribution.
Whirlpool bolstered its global position during the year through the acquisition of two
strategic businesses in key markets. In Mexico, the company completed the purchase of
Vitromatic S.A. de C.V., which had been a joint venture between Whirlpool and Vitro
S.A. since 1987. Vitromatic, now called Whirlpool Mexico, is a leading appliance
manufacturer that provides a direct access to the fast-growing Mexican market. The
acquisition extends our North American manufacturing base and provides additional
export opportunities to countries in the Caribbean, Central America and northern parts of
South America, as well as to the United States. In Central Europe, Whirlpool acquired
Polar S.A., a leading appliance manufacturer with the No. 1 brand name in Poland. The
acquisition of Polar improves Whirlpool's brand presence in Central Europe and provides
Whirlpool Europe with a low-cost manufacturing source to serve the entire region.
Inspired by our bold innovations and designs, increasing numbers of customers around
the globe are trusting Whirlpool to make their lives easier. More than ever
before, Whirlpool Corporation employees and brands are connecting with customers in
ways that will last a lifetime

Recruitment
AN INTRODUCTION TO RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
"All successful employers are stalking men and women who will do the unusual, who
think, who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them."
Charles Schwab
Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them
to apply for jobs in the organization .To recruit means to enlist, replenish or reinforce. It
refers to the process of bringing together prospective employees and employer with a
view to stimulate and encourage the former to apply for a job with the latter. The primary
purpose of recruitment and selection is to achieve one desired aim i.e. picking the right
person for the right jobs.
The recruitment process begins when an employee is to be transferred or promoted to
another post, notice of resignation or dismissal is given or retirement is planned. The five
keyways to develop top quality people:
Recruitment-getting the right people in the right job
Developing people-through training & development.
Monitoring-to ensures long-term development and performance.
Developing Managers-ensuring that these key people are delivering what the
organization requires.
Managing for performance- techniques that ensure top quality performance
Factors Affecting Recruitment: In recruiting new employees management must consider the nature of labor market, what
sort of potential labor are available and how do look for works. The factor affecting can
be summed up under the following heads:
Labor Market Boundaries:- The knowledge of the boundaries help management
in estimating the available supply of qualified personnel form, which it might recruit.
A labor market consists of a geographical area in which the forces of demand and
supply interact and thus affect the price of labor.
Available Skills:- Companies must locate the areas where they can find employees
who fit the jobs according to their skills.
Economic
Condition:
Economic
conditions
also
affect
recruitment.
Unemployment worker may swamp a new plan located in a depressed labor market
whereas a firm trying to establish it or to expand in an area where a few qualified
workers are out of wok has quite a different recruitment problem.
Attractiveness of the Company: The attractiveness of the company in terms of
higher wages, clean work, better fringe benefits and rapid promotions serves as
influencing factor in recruitment.

PERSONNEL
The human resource requirement can be met from internal or external source
Internal Sources
These refer to persons already employed in the organization. Promoting persons from
lower levels may fill up vacancies at higher levels. Shortage of manpower in one branch \
factory may be met by transferring surplus staff from another branch \ factory. Promotion
means shifting of an employee to higher post caring greater salary, status and
responsibility. On the other hand transfer refer to the shifting an employee with salary,
status and responsibility. Some time ex-employee of the organization may be reemployed.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
All methods of recruitment can be put into three categories:
a) Direct method
b) Indirect method
c) Third-party method
a) Direct Method:
These include the campus interview and keeping a live register of job seekers. Usually under
this method, information about jobs and profile of persons available for jobs is exchanged and
preliminary screening is done. The short listed candidates are then subjected to the remainder
of the selection process. Some organization maintains live registers or record of applicants and
refers to them as and when the need arises.
b) Indirect Method:
They cover advertising in newspapers, on the radio, in trade and professional journals,
technical journals and brochures.
When qualified and experienced persons are not available through other sources,
advertising in newspapers and professional and technical journals in made. Whereas all
types of advertisements can be made in newspapers and magazines, only particular types
of posts should be advertised in the professional and technical journals.
A well thought-out and planned advertisement for appointments reduces the possibility of
unqualified people applying. If the advertisement is clear and to the point, candidates can
assess their abilities and suitability for the position and only those who possess the
requisite qualifications will apply
c) Third Party Method:Various agencies are used for recruitment under these methods. These include commercial and
private employment agencies, state agencies and placement offices of schools , colleges and
professional associations , recruiting firms , management consulting firms, introduction
seminars for college professors , friends and relatives .
Employment Agencies:They are specializing in specific occupation like general office help, salesman, technical
workers, accountants, computer staff, engineers and executives and suitable persons
available for a job. Because of their specialization, they can interpret the needs of their
clients and seek out particular types of persons.
State or Public Employment Agencies:They also knew as Employment or Labor Exchanges, are the main agencies for public
employment. They also provide a wide range of services, like counseling, assistance in
getting jobs, information about the labor market, labor and wage rates, etc.
Executive Research Agencies:They maintain a complete information records about employed executives and
recommend persons of high caliber for managerial, marketing and production engineers
posts. These agencies are looked upon as head hunters, raiders, and pirates.
Trade Unions:The employers to supply whatever additional employees may be needed often call on
Trade Unions. Unions may be asked for recommendations largely as a matter of courtesy
and an evidence of goodwill and cooperation
Professional Societies:They may provide leads and clues in providing promising candidates for engineering,
technical and management positions. Some of these maintain mail order placement
services.
SELECTION
Selection is the process of carefully screening the candidates to choose the most suitable
person for the job vacancies to be filled. Under it qualifications, training, experience, and
background of applicant are evaluated in the light of job requirement. It divides the
candidates into two categories namely,
c) Those who are employed.
d) Those who are to be rejected..
A formal definition of selection is as following:
It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those
with a greater likelihood of success in a job.
Selection process assumes and rightly so, that there are more number of candidate
actually selected candidates are made available through recruitment process.
Reliability:
repeated in similar situations. Like a validated test, a reliable test may fail to predict job
performance with precision.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
The selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about an
applicant. This information is secured in a number of steps and stages. The objective of
selection process is to determine whether an applicant needs the qualification for a
specific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to perform in that job.
The hiring procedures not a single acts but it is essentially a series of methods or steps or
stages by which additional information is secured about the applicant. At each stage, facts
may come to light, which lead to the rejection of the applicant. A procedure may be
considered to a series of successive hurdles or barriers, which an applicant must cross.
These are indented as screens and they are designed to eliminate an unqualified applicant
at any point in this process. That technique is known as the successive hurdle technique.
Not all selection process includes all these hurdles. The complexity of process usually
increases with the level and responsibility of the position to be fulfilled.
A well-organized selection procedure should be designed to select sustainable candidates
for various jobs. Each step in the selection process should help in getting more and more
information about the candidate. There is no idle selection procedure appropriate for all
cases.
Preliminary Screening:This is essentially to check whether the candidate fulfills the minimum qualification. The
preliminary interview is generally quite brief. Its aim is to eliminate the unsuitable
candidate. The job seekers are received at the reception counter of the company. The
receptionists or other official interviews the candidates to determine whether he is
worthwhile or the candidate to fill up the application blank. Candidates processing the
minimum qualification and having some chances of being selected are given the
prescribed application form known as application blank.
Application Blank:The candidates are required to give full information about their age, qualification,
experience, family background, aptitude and interests act in the application blank. The
application blank provides a written record about the candidate. The application form
should be designed to obtain all relevant information about the candidates. All
applications received from the candidates are carefully scrutinized. After the scrutiny
more suitable candidates among the applicants are short-listed for written tests and others
are rejected.
Employment Tests:Candidates are asked to appear for written or other tests. Tests have become popular
screening devices. These tests are based on the assumption that human traits and work
behaviors can be predicted by sampling, however tests are not fully reliable and they also
involve time and money. Test is more useful in identifying and eliminating unsuitable
candidates therefore should be used only as supplements rather than an independent
technique of selection. The main types of tests are:
Intelligence tests
Aptitude Test
Interest Test
Personality Test
Dexterity Test
Selection Interview:-
It involves a face-to-face conversation between the employer and the candidate; the
selector asks a job related and general questions. The way in which a candidate responds
to the question is evaluated. The objectives of the interview are as following:
To find out the candidates overall suitability for the job.
To cross-check the information obtained through application blank and tests, and
To give an accurate picture of the job and the company.
Interview is the most widely used step in employee selection. However, interview suffers
from several drawbacks:
Firstly, it is a time consuming and expensive device. Secondly, it can test only the
personality of the candidate and not his skill for the job. Thirdly, the interviewer may not
be an expert and may fill to extract all relevant information from the candidate. Fourthly,
the personal judgment or bias of the interviewer may make the result of the interviews
inaccurate.
Interview should be properly conducted in a proper physical environment. The interview
room should be free from noise and interruptions. The environment should be confident
and quite. People generally talk freely and frankly when there is privacy and comfort.
Therefore, candidates should be put at ease. The interviewer should pay full attention to
what the candidates have to say.
Medical or Physical Examination:Candidates who are found suitable after interview are called for physical examination. A
Panel of doctors to insure that they are healthy and physically fit for the job does a
medical check-up of such candidates. A proper medical examination will also ensure that
the candidates selected do not suffer from any serious desirous which may create
problems in future.
Checking Reference:-
Generally, every candidate if required to state in the application form, the name and
address of at least two responsible persons who know him. The reference may not give
their Frank opinion unless promises made that in all information will be kept strictly
confidential. Moreover the information given by them may be biased in the form of
candidate.
Final Approval:The candidates who are found suitable after the medical check-up and background
investigation are formally appointed by issuing appointment letter to them. They are
asked to join duty by the specified date. No selection procedure is foolproof and the best
way judge a person is by observing him working on the job. Candidate who gives
satisfactory during the probationary period are made permanent
MANPOWER PLANNING
Manpower Planning Involves:Manpower planning is a continuous process. In operational terms it involves the analysis
of the current and future manpower resources terms and requirement to ensure that such
needs and resources are always kept in proper balance, both in terms of quantity.
Need for Manpower Planning:All said and done, it cannot be define that the quality of manpower can be responsible for
significant difference in the short and long run performance among companies. As Ralph
Besse once said, There is nothing we can do about performance of past management or
the qualification of todays management but tomorrows management can be as good as
todays manager care to make it.
Herb Mayer has emphasized the importance of human assets and their utilization as
under:
The efficient utilization of human resources may very well be the most important
determiner of success in the business world in the coming decade. I think that the
companies that prosper in the future will be those that do the best job in fully utilizing
their human resources.
All organizations are basically human organizations. They need people to carry out the
organizational mission, goals and objectives. Every organization needs to recruit people
The recruitment policy should, therefore, address itself to the key question; what are the
personnel/human resource requirement of the organization in terms of number, skills,
levels etc to meet present and future needs of production and technical and other changes
planned or anticipated in the next years.

Every company wants to recruit the best employees so they follow a standard pattern for
RECRUITMENT & SELECTION. Therefore, at this time, the policies are considered
very important for success due to tough competition so every company follows a
appropriate procedure for Recruitment & Selection.
In the same manner WHIRLPOOL OF INDIA PVT Ltd. has also adopts same criteria.
It always tries to select the best candidate thats why follows a long & tough Selection
Procedure. Sometimes it creates confusions for the candidates but at last the company
selects the candidates according to the requirement.
The managers are fully satisfied with the existing Recruitment and Selection
procedure.
6. 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.
7. Evaluation and control of recruitment and selection should be done fair judgment.
8. Methods used for selection of candidates should be done carefully and systematically
9. 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 and selection procedure should be fair and impartial.
10. This is indeed an important suggestion and authorities concerned should immediately
