INTRODUCTION
The human resources are the most
important assets of an organisation.
The success or failure of an
organisation is largely dependent on the
calibre of the people working there in.
In order to achieve the goals or
perform the activities of an
organisation, therefore, we need to
recruit people with requisite skills,
qualifications & experience by keeping
in mind the present as well as the
future requirements of the
organisation.
DEFINITION
Recruitment is the process of
locating & encouraging potential
applicants to apply for existing or
anticipated job openings.
CONSTRAINTS &
CHALLENGES
Poor image: If the image of a firm is perceived
to be low the likelihood of attracting a large
number of qualified applicants is reduced.
Unattractive job: If the jobs to be filled is
not attractive , most prospective candidates may
turn indifferent & may not even apply.
Conservative internal policies: A policy of
filling vacancies through internal promotions based
on seniority, experience, job knowledge etc. may
often come in the way of searching for qualified
hands in the broader job market in a unbiased
way.
Limited budgetary support: Recruitment
efforts require money. Sometimes because of
limited resources, organisations may not like to
carry on the recruiting efforts for long periods of
time. This can, ultimately, constrain a recruiter’s
efforts to attract he best person for the job.
Restrictive policies of government:
Governmental policies often come in the way of
recruiting people as per the rules for company or
on the basis of merits/seniority, etc. For example,
reservations for special groups such as scheduled
castes, backward classes etc.

METHODS OF
RECRUITMENT
1. Internal Methods
Employee Referral
Employee referral means using personal contacts to locate
job opportunities. It is a recommendation from a current
employee regarding a job applicant. The logic behind
employee referral is that “it takes one to know one”.
Employees working in the organisations, in this case, are
encouraged to recommend the names of their friends working
in other organisations for a possible vacancy in the near
future.
2. Direct Methods
Campus Recruitment
It is a method of recruiting by visiting & participating
in college campuses & their placement centres. Here
recruiters visit reputed educational institutions such as
IITs, IIMs, colleges & universities with a view to pick up
job aspirants having requisite technical or professional
skills.
Shortlist campuses
Pay smartly, not highly
Present a clear image
Choose recruiting team carefully
Do not oversell yourself
Get in early
Not everyone fits the bill
3. Indirect Methods
Advertisements
These include advertisements in newspapers; professional
& technical journals; radio & television; etc. In recent
times, this medium has become just as colourful, lively &
imaginative as consumers advertising. To apply for the
advertised vacancies, let’s briefly examine the wide variety
of alternatives available to a company – as far as ads are
concerned:
Newspaper ads
Television ads
4. Third Party Methods
Employment Exchange
As a statutory requirement, companies also expected to
(wherever the employment exchanges act, 1959, applies) their
vacancies through the respective employment exchange,
created all over India for helping unemployed youth,
displaced persons, ex-military, physically handicapped,
etc.
Unsolicited Applicants/Walk-ins
Companies generally receive unsolicited applications from
job seekers at various point of time. The number of such
applications depends on economic conditions, image of the
company & the job seeker’s perception of the types of jobs
that might be available etc. Such applications are generally
kept in data bank & whenever a suitable vacancy arises, the
company would intimate the candidate to apply through a
formal channel.
Internet Recruiting
In recent years most companies have found it useful to
develop their own website & list job openings on it. The
website offers a fast, convenient & cost effective for job
applicants to submit their resume through the internet.
There are variety of websites such as: www.naukri.com,
www.monsterindia.com, www.timesjobs.com, etc.
