& selection process of Archies Ltd.

process followed in the organization.
Limitations:-
The main source of data is primary data.

committing a general error.
Due to change in time, policies may change.
12

secondary kinds .The primary source of data was through questionnaire
schedule.
The secondary source included brochures, annual reports, magazines,
employee’s handbook, magazines and journals.
SELECTION OF SAMPLES:-Sample size is 20.
STATISTICAL TOOLS:-It is very difficult to have detailed knowledge of employees working in
Archies Ltd. So the surveyor has taken 20 samples due to limited resources
and time factor. The management ranks are working in different categories of
different department. Thus it becomes equally justified to plan in such a way
that it covers all departments.
TOOLS:- Pie chart
Bar diagram
Text and statements
13

The Likert scale was used for calculating scores, which is shown in every
question immediately after the table. The points given for each scale are as
follows

Can’t say (1)
Score is calculated as per the following:-
Points assigned to each 5-point scale* No. of responses / Sample size

calculation, if the score is:
4 and above = Excellent
3 to 4 = Average

3.1 Recruitment Definition:
According to FLIPPO,
“Recruitment is the process of searching the candidate for employment and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.”
This is the positive aspect as it attracts suitable applicants to apply for
available jobs.
Sources of Recruitment:
16
Before an organization actively begins security applicants, it should consider
the most likely source of the type of employee it needs. These sources may be
termed as:
INTERNAL SOURCES
Internal sources include personal already on the pay roll of an organization i.e.
its present working force. Whenever any vacancy occurs, sanctioning from
within the organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted and sometimes
demoted.
This source also includes personal who where once on the pay roll of the
company but who plan to return or whom the company would like to retire,
such as those on leave or absence, those who exit volunteering or those on
production lay.
This source is used by many organizations, but a surprisingly large number
ignore this source. It is not only reasonable but wise to use this source, if the
vacancies to be filled out within the capacity of the present employer.
These are as follows:
Transfer :
It involves shifting of an employer from one job to another, one
department to another or from one shift to another. Transfer is a good
source of filling vacancies with employees from overstaffed
departments or shifts.
Promotion :
17
It leads to shifting an employee to a higher position carrying higher
responsibilities, facilities, status & pay.
Merits of Internal Sources:
Employees are motivated to improve their performance.
Morale of the employees is increased.
Industrial peace prevails in the enterprise because of promotional
avenues.
Transfer or job rotation is a tool of training the employees to prepare
them for higher jobs.
Demerits of Internal Sources:
When vacancies are filled through internal promotions, the scope for
fresh talents is reduced.
The employees may become lethargic, if they are sure of time bound
promotions.
The spirit of competition among the employees may be hampered.
Frequent transfers of employees may reduce the overall productivity of
the organization.
EXTERNAL SOURCES
These sources lie outside the organization. They usually include:
i. New entrants to the labor force, i.e. young mostly un-experienced
potential employees – the college students.
18
ii. The unemployed – with a wide range of skills and abilities.
These are as follows:
Campus Recruitment :
Jobs in commerce & industry have become and complex to the
point where college degrees or diploma are widely required. It is
also known as educational institutions.
Consultants :
Management consultancy firms help the organization to help recruit
technical, professional and managerial personnel. They are specializing
in middle level executive placements.
Employment Agency :
Employment Agencies run by the government are regarded as a good
source of recruitment for unskilled, semi-skilled & skilled operative
jobs. They provide a nation-wide service in attempting to match
personnel demand & supply.
Casual Callers :
It avoids the cost of recruiting work force from other sources. They
maintain pending folders for various jobs.
Media Advertisements :
Advertisements in newspapers or trade and professional journals are
generally used when qualified and experienced personnel are not
available from other sources.
Labor Contractors:
19
They are important source of recruitment in some industries in India;
workers are recruited through labor contractors who are themselves
employees of the organization.
Merits of External Sources:
Qualified Personnel
Wider Choice
Fresh Talent
Competitive Spirit
Demerits of External Sources:
Dissatisfaction among existing staff.
Lengthy process.
Costly process.
Uncertain response.

3.2 Selection
Definition:
According to YODER,
“The process of choosing applicable candidates from applicants whose skills
match the requirements of the job.”
The selection process is a critical process because it requires a heavy
investment of money to get right type of people. Induction & training costs are
also very high. That’s why selection is a negative process.
24
Benefits of selecting right kind of people for various jobs are:-
Proper selection & placements of personnel.
Competent employee will show higher efficiency and enable the
organization to achieve its objectives effectively.
The rate of industrial accidents will be considerably low.
The morale of the employees who are satisfied with their jobs is often
high.
Selection Process:-
Failed to meet minimum qualification

25
Initial Screening
Employment Test

P Problem encountered
Passed
Selection Process can be explained as follows:
Initial screening : This is the first step in the selection process.
In this, the minimum qualification of a candidate is
checked. If he/she fails to meet the minimum qualification
then he/she will be rejected. But if he/she achieves it then
he/she would be passing on to next test.
Employment test : This is the second step. In this, various types
of tests will be taken such as: - intelligence test, aptitude test,
proficiency test, interest test, personality test. These are as
follows:26
Permanent Job Offer
Intelligence test : They are those tests which are used to
judge the mental capacity of the applicants. They measure
the individual abilities and also the ability to make
decision and judgment. There are many verbal as well as
non-verbal intelligence tests conducted by the
psychologists for different jobs.
Aptitude test : Aptitude means the potential which an
individual has for learning the skills required to do a job
efficiently. These tests measure an applicant’s capacity and
his potential for development. These are of 2 types:
cognitive tests: which measures mental and intellectual
aptitude. Motor tests which measures physical dimension
such as manual dexterity or hand-eye co-ordination.
Proficiency test : They are those which are designed to
measure the skills already acquired by the individuals.
They are also known as performance, occupational or trade
tests. It takes a sample of individual’s behavior which is
designed for the actual work situation.
Interest test: It identify pattern of interests in which the
individual’s show special concern and involvement. These
tests suggest what type of jobs may be satisfying to the
employees.
Personality tests : It tells the qualities of the personality as
a whole, the combination of aptitude, interest and usual
27
mode and temperament it is very difficult to devise and use
personality tests.
When a candidate passes this test, then he/she will be passed on
to another selection round. If he/she fails to do so then he/she
would be rejected.
Selection Interview: This is the next step. In this, various types
of interviews will be taken such as: - patterned or structured
interview, unstructured or non-directed interview, preliminary or
background information interview, stress interview and group
interview. These are as follows:
Patterned or Structured Interview : In this a series of
questions are standardized in advance. Answers to these
questions are compared with a critical score and used in
discriminating who is to be selected. During interview, the
standard questions are asked as they are written; the order
may be varied but not the phrasing of the question.
Unstructured or Non-Directed Interview: The interviewer
does not ask direct and specific questions. He tries to
create an atmosphere in which the candidate feels free to
talk on the subject selected by the interviewer.
Preliminary or Background Information Interview : This
type of interview is conducted when the history of the
applicant has to be known in terms of his experience,
education, health, interests, etc.
28
Stress Interview : The applicant is intentionally put under a
stress by interrupting him, criticizing his view-point and
keeping silent after he has finished speaking. It is used for
the higher posts. It requires that the interviewer must be
tactful and skillful.
Group Interview : It is an interview if a group of applicants.
It is used where it is essential to know how the candidates
behave in groups.
When candidate passes, then he/she would be passed on to next
round. But if he/she fails, then he/she would be rejected.
Background Examination: In this round, the background
would be checked. For example, some people belong to specific
quota such as SC/ST, OBC, Kashmiri Migrants, defense,
physically handicapped, etc. In these cases, background
certificates would be required. If any problem encounters and the
candidates do not clear this round then he/she would not be
passing on to next step. He/she will be rejected.
Medical or Physical Examination : In this phase, the
candidate has to face the medical test and the physical test. This
clears that whether the selected candidate is physically fit or
healthy to perform the job or not. If any problem encounters then
he/she will be rejected. But if he/she clears the medical or
physical examination then her/she would get permanent job
opportunity. 29
The selection process is the process of choosing only 0those applicant
candidates from applicants whose skills match the requirements of the job.
That is why selection process is considered as the negative process.
Offer Letter:-After the selection procedure when the candidate is selected, the organization gives him/her an offer letter for that particular post.

4.1 Introduction of SWOT Analysis
64
SWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction
and serves as a basis for the development of marketing plans. It
accomplishes this by assessing an organizations strengths (what an
organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in
addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an
organization) and threats (potential unfavorable conditions for an
organization). SWOT analysis is an important step in planning and its
value is often underestimated despite the simplicity in creation. The role of
SWOT analysis is to take the information from the environmental analysis
and separate it into internal issues (strengths and weaknesses) and external
issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis
determines if the information indicates something that will assist the firm
in accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity), or if it indicates
an obstacle that must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results.
The aim of SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors
that are important to achieving the objective. These come from within the
company's unique value chain. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of
information into two main categories:
Internal factors – The strengths and weaknesses internal to the
organization.
External factors – The opportunities and threats presented by
the external environment to the organization.
The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending
upon their impact on the organization's objectives. The external factors may
include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and socio-65
cultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive
position. The results are often presented in the form of a matrix.
SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own
weaknesses. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear
prioritization so that, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats.
A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the
strategic planning process. Environmental factors internal to the firm usually
can be classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses (W), and those external to the
firm can be classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T). Such an analysis of
the strategic environment is referred to as a SWOT analysis.

4.2 Uses of SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired
end-state (objective) has been defined. Examples include: non-profit
66
organizations, governmental units, and individuals. A SWOT analysis process
generates information that is helpful in matching an organization or group’s
goals, programs, and capacities to the social environment in which it operates.
The ‘SWOT’ itself is only a data capture exercise
Strengths : positive tangible and intangible attributes, internal to an
organization and within the organisation’s control.
Weaknesses : internal factors within an organisation’s control that
detract from the organisation’s ability to attain the desired goal.
Opportunities : external attractive factors that represent the reason for
an organization to exist and develop. What opportunities exist in the
environment, which will propel the organization?
Threats : external factors beyond the organisation’s control which could
place the organization mission or operation at risk. The organization
may benefit by having contingency plans to address them if they should
occur.
The strengths & weaknesses are intrinsic value-creating skills or relative to
competitive forces. Opportunities & threats are external factors which are
not created by the organization, but emerge as a result of the competitive
dynamics caused by future gaps in the market.
4.3 Merits & Demerits of SWOT Analysis
Merits
Simple four box framework & flexible. 67
Facilitates the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
Encourages the development of strategic thinking.
Enables a management team to focus on strengths & build
opportunities.
Can enable an organization to anticipate future business threats and take
action to avoid or minimize their impact.
Can enable an organization to spot business opportunities and exploit
them fully.
Demerits
It is easy to use scant data.
To be effective, this needs to be undertaken on a regular basis.
The best reviews require different people being involved each having a
different perspective.
Access to quality internal data sources, this can be time consuming and
politically difficult
The pace of change makes it increasingly difficult to anticipate
developments that may affect an organization in the future.
The data used in the analysis may be based on assumptions that
subsequently prove to be unfounded (good & bad).
