Recruitment and Selection is the major function/wing of the Human Resource Department. Recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and strategic advances of the organization. Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arrange and conduct interviews and requires many resources and time.
This area of study on “Recruitment and Selection in Skill Bank Consulting” is found to be interesting. Recruitment and Selection is a core process in Skill Bank where ‘Tele-calling’ is used as a ‘Primary Channel’ of contact with both candidates and clients in addition to ‘e-mail’ as ‘Secondary channel.’
Industry Profile:Management Consulting refers to both the industry and the practice of
helping organizations improve their performance primarily through the analysis of existing business problems and development of plans for improvement.

INTRODUCTION INDUSTRY PROFILE COMPANY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Human Resource Management (HRM) is an approach to the manage people, based on
four fundamental principles, recruitment, selection, training, compensation, first human
resources are the most important asset of an organization and their effective management
is the key to its success.
According to EDWARD B FLIPPO:
Recruitment: is defined as “the process of searching for prospective employees
and stimulating them to apply for job in the organization”.
Selection: It is the “process of ascertaining the qualifications, experiences, skills,
knowledge etc., of an applicant with a view to appraising his/her suitability to a job.
Hiring involves two broad groups
1. Recruitment
JB Institute of PG Courses Page 10
Recruitment & Selection Procedure in Skill Bank
2. Selection
Recruitment: Recruitment forms the first stage in the process which continues with
selection and leases with placement of the candidate recruiting of the discovering of
potential applicants for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies.
As younger and other point out, “Recruitment is the process to discover the
sources of man power to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ
effective solution of an efficient working force.” The purpose of recruitment is to locate
sources of manpower to meet job requirements and job specifications.
Methods of Recruitment:
1. Direct method
2. Indirect method
3. Third party method
1. Direct method: These include sending traveling recruiters to educational professional
institute, employees, and contract with public and mannered exhibits. One of the widely
used direct methods is that of sending recruiters to colleges and technical institutes. It
includes sending recruiters to conventions and seminar’s setting up exhibits at fair and
using mobiles to go to the desired centers.
2. Indirect methods: Indirect method involves mostly advertising in news papers, on the
radio in trade and professional journals technical magazines and broachers.
3. Third party method: These include the use of commercial or private employment
agencies, state agencies placement offices of schools colleges and professional associates
recruiting firms, management consulting firms.
Recruitment and Selection is the major function/wing of the Human Resource
Department. Recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive

strength and strategic advances of the organization. Recruitment process involves a
systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arrange and conduct interviews and
requires many resources and time.
This area of study on “Recruitment and Selection in Skill Bank” is found to be
interesting. Recruitment and Selection is a core process in Skill Bank where ‘Tele-
calling’ is used as a ‘Primary Channel’ of contact with both candidates and clients in
addition to ‘e-mail’ as ‘Secondary channel.’
Human resources is considered to be the most valuable asset in any organization. It is the
sum of the inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills represented by the talents and
aptitude of the employed persons who comprises executives, superiors and the rank and
file employees.
The human resources should be utilized to maximum possible extent, in
order to achieve individual and organization goals. It is the employee’s performance
which ultimately decides and attainment of goals. However the employee’s performance
is to a large extent, influenced by motivation and job satisfaction.
Steps in selection process:
1. Reception or preliminary interview or screening
2. Application blank
3. A well conducted interview to explore the facts and get at attitude of the
applicant and his family to the job.
4. Physical examination
5. Psychological tests
6. A reference check

Recruitment & Selection Procedure in Skill Bank
The ability of small firms to successfully recruit employees is
consistently rated by small business owners as one of the most important factors
influencing organizational success (Inc., 1997, Mehta, 1996). However, despite the
fact that small businesses dominate the business landscape of the united States,
representing over 99% of all employers, seating two out of every three new jobs, and
producing 39% of the gross national product (SBA, 1999), existing research on human
resource (HR) recruitment has almost entirely focused on medium and large firms.
Indeed a review of all the articles published in three of the top academic
journals(Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel
Psychology) form 1998 through 1998 revealed that only Seven of the 207 articles that
addressed recruitment, personnel selection, human resources, and hiring issues focused
on small businesses or used Small businesses in their sample. Consequently, a gap may
exist in our understanding of the recruitment issues small businesses face and what
strategies are most effective. In addition to paying little attention to small nesses,
past research on personnel recruitment has neglected the role that societal factors may
play in influencing the recruitment success of an organization, instead focusing on
how job applicants' individual preference affect recruitment (Brass, 1995,
Barber, 1998).
From this perspective, effective recruitment practices allow individuals to se
congruence between individual preferences and organizational attributes. Dimension
such as recruiter characteristics (e.g. personality, knowledge ability, and credibility),
recruitment message (e.g., personality, knowledge ability, and credibility), recruitment
message (e.g. realism, favorability, ad content), and recruitment timing have received
mixed support for influencing recruitment success (see Rynes & Barber, 1990, for a
review). However, while clearly important, this perspective ignores the role that
societal norms and values play in shaping the preferences and action of individuals
(Salancik & Pfeffer, 1978) Thus, the question of whether organizational recruitment
success is influenced by how well recruitment practice coincide with the
institutionalized norms of behavior existing.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Recruitment preparation
The organization has no formal method of request for vacant or new positions. An
informal request can be vague and misleading and may not supply the HR manager
with the job description and person specification required to establish the selection
criteria. This is because of reliance on re effective communication skills of both the
persons giving the verbal request and the HR manager receiving the request. Both
parties need to be effective in passing on and receiving correct information. The
request must set out the exact requirements of the new or vacant position. Job or person
specifications should spell out the requirements an individual needs to successfully
perform the job as per the job description should specific duties and responsibilities.
The implication of not clear direction on what is required for the position is that
the criteria will not be valid. Consequently, the recruitment process an bread down
Journal of Management Practice Volume 5 No 168 the absence valid selection criteria
pan affect the decision- making at a later
Stage (Compton& Nankervis 1998). This means that a simple
miscommunication can result in the incorrect matching of an applicant to an abs. The
attitude and personal characteristics of the individual may not fit the specifications
required. This can result in low motivation of the individual and can, therefore, lead
to unsatisfactory performance (Mitchell, Dowling, Kabanoff & Larson 1988), thus
requiring the individual to be replaced and causing unnecessary costs.
Ensuring that the job: ascription and person specification are correctly
portrayed and, therefore giving valid selection criteria, can avoid unnecessary costs. 2.2
Employment Agencies

According to the HR manager, the organization has a relatively high turnover in
low skilled employees. The market demand for low skilled employees in the
construction industry can increase and decrease rapidly due to the external
environment (Smith, P.J.2001, pers. Comm... 13 March). There are several reasons
for this volatility. As the economic climate becomes more unstable, consumer
confidence decreases in spending affects the construction industry. Furthermore,
inclement weather causes the flow of work to be unpredictable and, therefore,
insecure. Both of these factors can contribute to the high turnover of employees.
Satisfaction has a negative relationship with turnover (Robbins, Millett, Cacioppe &
Waters Marsh 1998).
INDUSTRY PROFILE
CONSULTANCY INDUSTRY
Management consulting refers to both the industry of, and the practice of, helping
organizations improve their performance, primarily through the analysis of existing
business problems and development of plans for improvement.
Organizations hire the services of management consultants for a number of reasons,
including gaining external (and presumably objective) advice, access to the consultants'
specialized expertise, or simply as extra temporary help during a one-time project, where
the hiring of more permanent employees is not required.
JB Institute of PG Courses Page 15
Recruitment & Selection Procedure in Skill Bank
Because of their exposure to and relationships with numerous organizations,
consultancies are also said to be aware of industry "best practices", although the
transferability of such practices from one organization to another is the subject of debate.
Consultancies may also provide organizational change management assistance,
development of coaching skills, technology implementation, strategy development, or
operational improvement services. Management consultants generally bring their own,
proprietary methodologies or frameworks to guide the identification of problems, and to
serve as the basis for recommendations for more effective or efficient ways of performing
business tasks.
Opportunities for consulting and advisory engagements from government clients have
grown and evolved. In particular, government is engaging knowledgeable consultancies
for advice in home security and anti-terrorist tactics. Corporate clients are also more open
to consultants specializing in security matters and global politics.
Management consulting grew with the rise of management as a unique field of study. The
first management consulting firm was Arthur D. Little, founded in 1886 by the MIT
professor of the same name. Though Arthur D. Little later became a general management
consultancy, it originally specialized in technical research. Booz & Company was
founded by Edwin G. Booz, a graduate of the Kellogg School of Management at
Northwestern University, in 1914 as a management consultancy and the first to serve
both industry and government clients.
After World War II, a number of new management consulting firms formed, most
notably Boston Consulting Group, founded in 1963, which brought a rigorous analytical
approach to the study of management and strategy. Work done at Boston Consulting
Group, McKinsey, Booz & Company, and the Harvard Business School during the 1960s
and 70s developed the tools and approaches that would define the new field of strategic
management, setting the groundwork for many consulting firms to follow. In 1983,
Harvard Business School's influence on the industry continued with the founding of
Monitor Group by six professors.
JB Institute of PG Courses Page 16
Recruitment & Selection Procedure in Skill Bank
Another branch of management consulting is Human Resource consulting. Such firms
provide advice to their clients regarding the financial and retirement security, health,
productivity, and employment relationships of their global workforce.
Approaches
In general, various approaches to consulting can be thought of as lying somewhere along
a continuum, with an 'expert' or prescriptive approach at one end, and a facilitative
approach at the other. In the expert approach, the consultant takes the role of expert, and
provides expert advice or assistance to the client, with, compared to the facilitative
approach, less input from, and less collaboration with, the client(s). With a facilitative
approach, the consultant focuses less on specific or technical expert knowledge, and more
on the process of consultation itself. Because of this focus on process, a facilitative
approach is also often referred to as 'process consulting,' with Edgar Schein being
considered the most well-known practitioner. The consulting firms listed above are closer
toward the expert approach of this continuum.
Many consulting firms are organized in a matrix structure, where one 'axis' describes a
business function or type of consulting: for example, strategy, operations, technology,
executive leadership, process improvement, talent management, sales, etc. The second
axis is an industry focus: for example, oil and gas, retail, automotive. Together, these
form a matrix, with consultants occupying one or more 'cells' in the matrix. For example,
one consultant may specialize in operations for the retail industry, and another may focus
on process improvement in the downstream oil and gas industry.
CURRENT STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
Management consulting has grown quickly, with growth rates of the industry exceeding
20% in the 1980s and 1990s. As a business service, consulting remains highly cyclical
and linked to overall economic conditions. The consulting industry shrank during the
2001-2003 period, but has been experiencing slowly increasing growth since. In 2007,
JB Institute of PG Courses Page 17
Recruitment & Selection Procedure in Skill Bank
total global revenues for management consulting are expected to exceed the $300 billion
mark. Currently, there are four main types of consulting firms:
1. Large, diversified organizations that offer a range of services, including
information technology consulting, in addition to a strategy consulting practice
(e.g. Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, IBM). Some very large IT service providers
have moved into consultancy as well and are also developing strategy practices
(e.g. Wipro, Tata, Infosys)
2. Medium-sized information technology consultancies that blend boutique style
with some of the same services and technologies bigger players offer their clients
(e.g. IDS Scheer, arinso).
3. Large management and strategic consulting specialists that offer primarily
strategy consulting but are not specialized in any specific industry (e.g. Bain &
Company, Booz & Company, McKinsey & Company, The Boston Consulting
Group, Oliver Wyman, A.T. Kearney).
4. Boutique firms, often quite small, which have focused areas of consulting
expertise in specific industries, functional areas or technologies (e.g. Heidrick &
Struggles, Towers Perrin, the Avascent Group, Newton Industrial Consultants,
Kaiser Associates) . Most of the boutiques were founded by famous business
theorists. Small firms with less than 50 employees are often referred to as niche
consultancies (e.g. Agility Works, iProCon HCM). If they have a unique concept
and market it successfully, they often grow out of this segment very fast or are
bought by larger players interested in their knowhow.

Internship
Around the world, hundreds of thousands participate in student internships.
Although internships are often categorized as jobs, they are more like apprenticeships.
Internships are temporary and may or may not be paid. The emphasis during the job is
training, which is why most interns are college students who are studying in majors relating
to their internship position. The length of the internship depends on the employer in charge.
Usually, an internship lasts the duration of a semester at colleges. However, 6-12 week
summertime sessions or shorter 4-6 week winter break sessions might also be available. You
don't apply for an internship in the same way you would a regular job. Although you should
treat your application process professionally, your experience is less important than your
willingness to learn, relation of the internship to your major, and recommendations. What
kinds of internships are available - and which are required

Studies show that those with job-related experience are more likely to get a
job. A study by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics shows that one in three graduates are
underemployed, meaning that they are, through their education, qualified for a better,
higher-level job than the job they have. Unpaid or paid internships can help you get the
better job that you deserve with your degree.

organization with positive image and goodwill as an employer finds it easier to attract

up by fresher MBA’s when many finance companies were coming up.
