The Retail Industry
Last Updated: April 9, 2007
India's vast middle class and its almost untapped retail industry are key
attractions for global retail giants wanting to enter newer markets. Driven by
changing lifestyles, strong income growth and favourable demographic
patterns, Indian retail is expected to grow 25 per cent annually.
Modern retail in India could be worth US$ 175-200 billion by 2016. With the
economy booming, competition in the marketplace is fierce. According to
'Retail in India Getting Organised to Drive Growth', a report by AT Kearneyand the Confederation of Indian Industry, retail is one of India's fastest growing
industries with a 5 per cent compounded annual growth rate and expected
revenues of US$ 320 billion in 2007. Rising incomes, increasing consumerism
in urban areas and an upswing in rural consumption will fuel this growth to
around 7-8 per cent.
KSA-Technopak, a retail consulting and research agency, predicts that by
2010, organised retailing in India will cross the US$ 21.5-billion mark from the
current size of US$ 7.5 billion
The great Indian retail revolution
After a long spell of shortages, which shackled consumer buying for decades,
retail is becoming India's new mantra.
The Sanskrit word "mantra" is not just "hymn" or "slogan"; it embraces
aspiration and encompasses new India's way of life.

The more-than-expected success clocked by the country's retailing pioneers
confirms that retailing has finally arrived. The world has started taking note of
this in this country of one billion.
However, the uppermost question in the minds of would-be entrants is,
environmentally and infrastructurally, are we ready to embrace major
investments in retail?
The related issues before potential investors at home and abroad are:
y Is retail organised in India?
y
Are back-end people and infrastructure in place?y And most importantly, is India ready to welcome retail investments from
abroad?
Some bits of background information paint a highly optimistic picture. We
have entered the 21st century at a time when the demography of our population
is changing significantly to drive organised retail growth.
India now has a large young working population with a median age of 24. Thenumber of nuclear families in urban areas is growing fast. Then there is the
increase in working women population. Add to these the emerging
opportunities in the service sector.
Next is the astonishing consumer finance boom. Add to this the growing credit
card spend. And last but not the least, the changing pattern in rural
consumption--a sure sign that the consumer revolution will soon spread to rural
India.
To make this a reality, India will require a massive dose of investment. At the
beginning of this decade, organised retailing accounted for a mere $2.9 billion.

This is only 1.25 per cent of the estimated total retail market. This share has
already grown to 2 per cent.
Growth projections for retail business vary widely. Some studies estimate thatby 2007, the share of organised retail in the retail pie will jump three times to
reach 5-6 per cent.
At RPG, the retail business is expected to grow eight-fold in five years. In the
food and grocery business, most of the initial experimentation among retail
formats is over now.
With the triumph of large-format hypermarkets like Giant and Spencer's, thedebate over single, large or several small stores is coming to an end. At the
moment there are two distinct choices in big-box retailing.
At the one end are those who are betting that a food and grocery centre strategy
will deliver where about 65 per cent of the retail average will be devoted to this
category.
At the other end are those who do not want food to account for more than 30per cent of their turnover. According to observers, the market is still woefully
nascent, the balance of power still lying with manufacturers, not retailers.
By 2007, there will be 20 RPG hypermarkets (branded Spencer's) nationally.
Each of these stores is expected to deliver Rs 100 crore-Rs 120 crore, with
focus on backend integration.
Some factors need to be kept in mind:
y Street markets still dominate in India;
y Kiranas are successfully moving with the times and are holding their
own;

y Organised retailing is still very much a city phenomenon.
And, accountants tell us that spending is still low.
There are a few other questions. How is organised retailing changing the retail
landscape in major urban centres and what is its effect on the growing middle
class? Another important area of enquiry is its effect on manufacturers,
distributors and small retailers.
There is also the question: will franchising and joint ventures become the
preferred options for foreign investors? And finally, we must decide we as a
country need to do before we invite FDI.
Retail trade is one of the largest contributors to GDP. But a restrictive
environment and a mindset which favours denial over consumption, have
stunted its development.
Organised retailing is showing signs of enormous creativity. Spectacular
innovations are attracting the average consumer in mega cities to the new way
of shopping.
It must gain in importance so that it becomes part of the planning process. The
best way to do this is to give industry status to retail.
It will give a thrust to infrastructure development and lead to the evolution of
an efficient supply chain, which is the oxygen of modern retailing. And it will
make finance available for expansion and restructuring. It will also lead to the
development of a retail-skilled workforce.
India continues to suffer from a multiplicity of government approvals, both at
the central and state levels. A single-window clearing system, therefore, is an
urgent necessity.

There is also the need to develop quality standards, particularly in unbranded
food products. And last but not the least, the implementation of the much -
talked-about VAT regime is an urgent necessity.
Modern retailing does not benefit just the consumer. It can give huge benefits
to other industries, to government, and to the entire e conomy. On average, 30
per cent of the manpower employed in retail could be potential income tax
payers.
According to a white paper jointly by the CII and KSA Technopak, organised
retailing has the potential to bring 100,000 new employees in the tax brack et in
five years.
Finally, the retail revolution will have a major impact on the way business has
been done in our country for centuries.
Indian Retail: An Overview
As organised retailers carve out a bigger piece of the retail pie for themselves
its an exciting time for the retail sector. By Dominic K
Emerging markets such as India and China are the final frontier for retail taking
the focus away from saturated Western markets. Since 2001, 49 global retailers
entered 90 new markets, but at the same time, 17 retailers left markets in 2005.
The Indian retail industry in valued at about $300 billion and is expected to
grow to $427 billion in 2010 and $637 billion in 2015. Only three percent of
Indian retail is organised. Retailers of multiple brands can operate through afranchise or a cash-and-carry wholesale model.
Retail is Indias largest industry, accounting for over 10 percent of the
countrys GDP and around eight percent of employment. Retail in India is at

the crossroads. It has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast paced
industries with several players entering the market. That said, the heavy initial
investments required make break even hard to achieve and many players have
not tasted success to date. However, the future is promising; the market is
growing, government policies are becoming more favourable and emerging
technologies are facilitating operations.
Retailing in India is gradually inching its way to becoming the next boom
industry. The whole concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and
consumer buying behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping. Modern retail
has entered India as seen in sprawling shopping centres, multi-storeyed malls
and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof.
The Indian retailing sector is at an inflexion point where the growth of
organised retail and growth in the consumption by Indians is going to adopt a
higher growth trajectory. The Indian population is witnessing a significant
change in its demographics. A large young working population with median
age of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas, along with increasing working-
women population and emerging opportunities in the services sector are goingto be the key growth drivers of the organised retail sector.
Initially, this was about Indian corporate houses rolling out malls and
supermarkets, but with Wal-Mart coming into the Indian market, the era of the
superstore is dawning. Unlike the kirana stores that served us for decades, this
new breed of retail chains is heavily dependent on IT.
Wal-Mart, the worlds largest retailer, and Bharti Enterprises have signed aMemorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore business opportunities in the
Indian retail industry. This joint venture will mark the entry of Wal-Mart into
the Indian retailing industry.

The biggest competitor for Bharti-Wal-Mart is likely to be Reliance Retail, the
retail wing of Reliance, which had planned to establish 10,000 stores by 2010.
It had already opened 11 pilot stores under the Reliance Fresh format in
Hyderabad.
All these trends and developments present a great business opportunity for
software and hardware vendors from across the globe. Indian solution
providers are targeting this segment have reason to rejoice. For while organised
retail occupies a miniscule two to three percent of the overall Indian retailing
industry, that is poised to change.
In spite of the prospects being good things arent quite as rosy when it comes to
awareness of IT systems. In most cases, organised retailers in India have
installed solutions that help them automate transactional systems.
With the retail sector in India undergoing a transformation due to the entry of
large corporate houses, IT managers and CIOs are now looking forward to
know how IT can help them achieve the business goals of their organisations.
Standards-based architecture and software support all kinds of mission-critical
IT applications for enabling greater efficiency, significant cost savings, and
new business value. The critical activities that can be handled by IT are finance
and accounting, business intelligence, vendor development and management,
supply chain management, merchandising and inventory management, facilities
management, stores management, customer relationship management,
branding, marketing, sales promotion and HR.
Like any other vertical, retail also stands to benefit from elaborate IT set-ups.
However, this is subject to the scale and size of the organisation, as well as an
objective assessment of its requirements. Key common challenges that can be
tackled through IT implementations include accurate merchandising, improved

planning, increasing profitability, enhancing customer experience,
strengthening store operations, improved workforce management, and
improving the supply chain. This is in fact one of the key imperatives facing
retailers in India, to have a robust and scalable supply chain that will facilitate
rapid growth.
Since a basic objective is to make data available to users and customers, proper
IT implementation and superior IT infrastructure ensure that in spite of getting
minimal details, the retailer captures the right information, which flows to
everyone from the back office staff to the head office managers. The entire
information flow must be seamless. A retail business works on a network
environment because the stores connect to one another as well as to supplier
sites. This is because in the retail business quick response is the key to success.
Proper IT implementation also ensures that investment in retail reduces
substantially.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Management is the art of getting things done through people
Mark Parker Follet.
The above quote implies management to be process of planning, organizing,
leading and controlling all other organizational resources to achieve stated
organizational goals, which in turn would help in bringing up the
organizational effectiveness and attaining optimum profits. All the efforts of
the organization could be achieved through employing the organizationalelements.

Until recently, human resources where not given prior importance. With the
emergence of industrialization and mass production, the concept of human
resource started to change. After further studies, it was understood that human
resources was one of the most important elements, in fact the assets of the
organization. It involves human elements in an organization that contribute
their maximum efforts towards the attainment of the organizational goals.
When the human elements are properly managed, the concept of Human
Resource Management emerges, which is defined as the planning,
compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resource to
the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are accomplished.

Human Resource Management and Its Evolution
Human Resource Management (HRM), a relatively new term, emerged during
the 1970s. Coming to its evolution as a subject, it may be stated that concern
for the welfare of workers in the management of the business enterprises has
been in existence since ages.
Experts of HRM in our country have tried to chronicle the growth of the
subject only since the 1920s. This was the period when state intervention to
protect the interests of workers was felt necessary because of the difficult
conditions which followed the First World War and the emergence of trade
unions. The royal commission, 1931, recommended the appointment of labour
welfare officers to deal with the selection of workers and to settle their
grievances. The factories act, 1948, made appointment of the same compulsory
in industrial establishments employing 500 or more workers each. In the course
of time, two professional bodies, the Indian Institute of Personnel Management
(IIPM) and the National Institute of Labour Management (NILM) were set up.
After the Second World War and the political independence, the country
witnessed increased awareness and expectations of workers. During the 1960s,
the personnel functions began to expand beyond the welfare aspect, with labour
welfare, industrial relations and personnel administration integrating into the
emerging profession called Personnel Management (PM).
By the 1970 s the professional values from a concern for welfare to a focus of
efficiency. During the 1980s new technologies were talked about. The two
professional bodies, IIPM and NILM merged in 1980 to form the National
Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM).

In 1990s, the emphasis shifted to human values and productivity through
people. Reflecting this trend, the American Society of Personnel
Administration (APSA) was renamed as the society of Human Resource
Management (SHRM).
Hence, the subject of HRM has grown into a matured profession.
RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
Recruitment describes the process and various stages of searching for
suitable candidates to fill vacancies in the workforce.
Recruitment is identification of sources from where the personnel can be
employed and motivating them to offer for the employment, selection is the
choosing the most suitable personnel for the employment.
Recruitment and selection can be simply defined as matching the skills a
potential employee has to offer with the needs of the job for which he is
required.
This process has come a long way since the olden days. In the earlier days
people used to stand outside the factory gates and they were selected as per he
whims and fancies of the supervisor. But the bulk of work in those days was
manual. Therefore that procedure worked. However over the years, the nature
of jobs have undergone a lot of change. The jobs have gradually moved from a
manual orientation to a skill orientation. Recruitment and Selection procedures
have also changed accordingly in tune with the changing times.

For an organization to flourish, the employees working for it should be skilled,
highly talented and well balanced. Recruiting such people is the first challenge
any organization faces.
Recruitment and Selection lie at the heart of many of the organizational and
managerial challenges. Since success of any organization depends on the
achievement of corporate objectives, the right kind of manpower with high
competitive sprit and dedication towards the organization is required. Such
manpower is obtained only through right choice among available people. That
is why recruitment is considered the most important function of the HR
department. Being such a vital aspect, it is still treated as task that has got over
as quickly as possible. But it is encouraging that this viewpoint is changing.Dynamic people who are not hesitant to take up challenges are the need of the
hour.
Despite relatively high unemployment in many countries, the costs of
recruitment are significant.
The operation of the selection systems must be cost-effective so that the time
and money spent on its design and administration is justified by the quality of
the candidates selected.
Broadly, recruitment and selection and selection involve three stages: -
i. Defining requirements analyzing the job in question, person specification
terms and conditions of employment.
ii. Attracting people to the job Reviewing and evaluating alternative sources
of applicants advertisement placement agencies
iii. E-recruitment campus interviews and consultants.
iv. Selection of right selection of right person for the job sifting
applications Interviewing, Testing, Assessing Candidates, Assessment
Centers, Employee Referral, Offering Employment, Preparing Contracts Of
Employment

22 Digant.P.Kulkarni
Defining the requirements of the job:
This stage involves in identifying the activities involved in the job.
This entails through he examinations of how, when, why, and whom the job issupposed to be done. Also the requirements for particular positions are set out
in the form of job descriptions and person specifications.
These provide the basic information required drafting advertisements brief
agencies or recruitment consultants and assessing candidates.
A job or role profile listing competence, skill, educational and experience
requirement produces the job criteria against which candidates will be assessed
at the interview or by means of physiological tests.
The number and categories of people required should be specified in the
recruitment programme. In addition to this the demand for replacements or for
new jobs to be filled should be checked.
JOB DESCRIPTION:Job description is one of the critical areas of the recruitment and selection
process. It is the basis on which everything ranging from the advertisement to
the final interview is carried out, job description sets out the basic details of the
job, defining reporting relationships, the overall objective of the job, the main
activities or tasks carried out and any other special requirements such as
mobility, traveling, the terms and conditions for the job and must be
continuously reviewed, keeping it in line with the changing business needs.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
RECRUITMENT PROCESS FOR STORE EMPLOYEES ATRELIANCE RETAIL Ltd.
Through employee referral and internal databank:
In the recent years as the annual cost of recruitment is escalating a novel way
of recruiting through employee referrals are coming into existence such
methods of recruitment are widely followed in service industry.
Under this the vacancies are listed for internal circulation. The employees areencouraged to recommend candidates for the positions. By this process
company may get benefited by rich databank. While this method is not cost
effective the newly inducted employees will have referees as their mentors.
This will bring in a lot of discipline and bonding among the employees.
The other source of recruitment is through internal databank, in which the
resumes are banked through everyday walk inns, personally handling over,
received through external references etc.
THROUGH ADVERTISEMENTS:
Advertising is an effective medium when,
y The number of candidates required is high
y The candidate profile is homogeneous and
y The target group is widespread

25 Digant.P.Kulkarni
Depending on the situation and requirement the advertisement can be given in
local regional areas and the areas where the stores will be located. The
advertisement is released for either walk-in-interview or formally structured
recruitment drives.
The advertising whether done inside or outside the organization contains the
accurate information about the job, the reward and the competencies.
Advertisements through inexpensive in a trade publication or classified pages
draw qualified candidates to the door.
ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO THE JOB:
Attracting people is primarily a matter of identifying, evaluating and using the

Sources of applicants/candidates.
First consideration in internal candidates and employee referrals
Organizations prefer this source for the following reasons:y Internal recruitment can be used as a technique of motivation.
y Morale of the employees can be improved.
y Suitability of the internal candidates can be judged better than the
external candidates.
y Loyalty, commitment, a sense of belongingness, and security of
present employees can be enhanced.
y
Cost of selection can be minimized.y Stability of employment can be ensured.
y If there are no people available within the organization the main
sources of candidates are
Advertising
Advertising is the most effective means to search potential employees from
outside the organization. Employment advertisement in journals, newspapers,bulletins, banners etc is common. By means of advertisement contains brief
statement of the nature of the jobs, type of people required, and procedure for
applying for these jobs.

Short listing of candidates:
Majority of the companies shortlist on the basis of the application of the
candidate. If the application is vague then it may be eliminated and the
organization might miss out on a good candidate and the candidate a good
offer.
Some companies have their own forms the basic information required are
personal details, educational history, work experience.
ON CAMPUS RECRUITMENTS:
Educational institutions provide an excellent source of potential employees for
entry-levels positions in the organizations especially for recruitment
management trainees or officer apprentices.
But such a technique is not very cost effective for the recruitment of store front
line employees and as well the educational institutions are not potential pool of
prospective store or front line employees.
DEFINE MANPOWER NORMS:
Manpower norms are defines to meet the corporate objectives in annualbusiness plans. This is done by highly competent and mature professionals by a
process of aligning and mapping the resource requirement vis--vis business
goals and the store requirements. The human resource planning and estimation
is there by drawn upon by specifying levels and chore skill profiles.
While fixing the norms, the following have to be taken into account:
y Projected business, trends and assumptions
y Numerical and qualitative gaps in current resources versus feature forecastsy Projected attrition and promotion rates as per industry benchmarks
y Data from benchmarking activities for productivity efficiency
y Lean support organization
y Redeployment/Retooling of existing personnel

The above planned requirements are met broadly by working out strategies on
researching, development (training), career management (succession planning,
role enhancement) etc.,
In addition to approved annual manpower norms, requirement for sources will
arise through unplanned exits and new unplanned businesses.
While defining the manpower norms the key aspects are kept in mind such as
a) Maximizing coverage of the requirements of the organization
b) Ensuring the best quality and
c) Time minimizing and cost
RECEIVING MANPOWER REQUISITION :Upon receiving manpower requisition for an existing vacancy, careful
consideration is given whether or not it needs to be filled or if the duties can be
distributed amongst existing employees. Then determine whether recruiting a
new member or staff will fill the vacancy. If vacancy needs to be filled then the
duties should be reviewed to determine if the requirements have changed.
A decision will require to be made about whether the post should be filled on
fixed term or permanent basis. Fixed term contracts should be used only inparticular circumstances, which are outlined in the policy on use of Fixed term
contracts. It is the companys policy to advertise all posts either internally or
externally. There are circumstances in which this is not necessary. e.g.
redeployment I redundancy situations, employment of students during
vacations, use of temporary agency staff. Advice regarding appropriate
advertising can be obtained from the personnel department.

Identifying the profiles from the database:
An updated recruitment database is to be maintained. Based on the approved
manpower requisitions received the positions will be sourced through the
sourcing avenues as mentioned earlier. Once the applications are received they
have to be screened based on the job profiles and the sets decided for the
positions. However broadly the following guidelines are to be followed while
screening and identifying the profile from the database.
1. Age: - the age norm is mentioned in the manpower requisition form is to be
checked first. This will help in organizations vision for career plan of each
position. Hence age norms should be strictly adhered to. As the requirement
will be for store employee the maximum age limit for every employee is
fixed as below 27 years of age.
2. Qualifications: - qualifications required should exactly be matched.
Diluting the required qualifications means diluting the quality in standards.
a. Professional qualification: - candidates who possess professional
qualification have to given priority.
b. Part time vis- a- vis full time qualifications: - As a rule all the candidates
should completed their education on full time basis. The norms can be
relaxed only in case of professional; qualification.

3. Experience: - the experience of the candidate being screened should be
divided into relevant and non- relevant categories.
SELECTION TESTS:Many large use a testing process as a part of their selection of new staff. Tests
are used for a number of reasons. Firstly, they may be time efficient in terms of
ranking the quality of large numbers of applicants. Also they assess all
applications on a similar set of performance objectives. At the bottom line, they
may sort out some applicants who are well below the standards required by that
particular employer for that particular position. They are also used to measure
job- related capacities and therefore minimize inappropriate staff selection.
Most of the employers using tests are recruiting large number of employees and
will have large number of applicants. Some small employers may contract
agencies to conduct the testing for them if they do not have the facility to
administer the tests themselves.
RESUMES:
Resumes provide a systematic record of information.
Resumes are used as a device foe preliminary screening of the candidates; theinformation such as qualification, age, personal profile and the work experience
of the candidate is obtained from the resumes.
Where a degree of choice exists, information provided by the resumes can
matched against the job specification, and the resumes are sorted into three
categories probable, possible. Unsuitable.
The probable and possible candidates are short listed for the other rounds of
selection process.

EMPLOYEE APPLICATION FORM
It is a very useful device which helps the interviewer to assess the candidate in
more structured manner. It contains various details regarding candidates family
background, his previous employer details, years of experience, qualification
details etc.
The employee application form is also very important for the SAP hirer to hire
the selected candidates on SAP.
INTERVIEWS:
Interviews remain the most popular method of assessment for selection.
Although more and more employers are using other methods as well. One
likely to get a job without being interviewed as part of selection process.
Interviews give both candidate and employer a chance to meet face to face.
Broadly speaking, there are 3 types of interview:
y Competency based interviews
y Biographical interviews
y Situational interviews
COMPETENCY BASED INTERVIEWS
Focus on particular areas of competence, which are important to job.
Are clearly related to the job in question.
The questions will relate to particular abilities or styles.
e.g. tell me about a time when you had to meet a tight deadline. Hoe did you
cope? What was the outcome?
Candidates need to come up with lot of examples of situations, from the work
experience, leisure activities or home life.

Biographical interviews
The most traditional format
Focus on the kind of information the candidate might put on a curriculum vita,
e.g. Work experience
Educational background
Leisure interests
Circumstances (e.g. the kind of working hours/conditions you manage)
Health
Aspirations
Previous job responsibilities
The link between the questions and the job, candidate is applying for may not
be apparent.
Situational interviews
Questions are asked to imagine the candidate in a given hypothetical situation
and asked what the candidate would do.
The situations may be taken directly from the job in question or may be more
general.
Interviewing process
Interviewing is a two way communications process where the employee and
employer interact.
During the process of interview, the interviewer will probably takes notes as
the interviewing goes along.Candidates will be usually given opportunity to ask questions at the end.

Organizing Interviews:
While organizing interviews ensure communicating with the candidates is
complete in all respects-Date, Venue, Time, how to reach the venue, travel
eligibility, time frame and the likely time span by which the process would be
fully complete.
Conducting Interviews:
The Interview panel member must be reminded of the interviews. The
interview panel for the selection of store employees consists of managers from
the operations team who are well aware regarding the store employee
operations.
When the candidate arrives at the venue instead of communicating animpersonal wait message through the receptionist the candidate should be
personally met and pleasantries must be exchanged.
Before the candidates arrive check for their personal history form and ensure
that the candidate assessment forms are complete in all respects. Discuss,
decide and record the next steps.
COMPENSATION FITMENT
Compensation is probably on the most critical and sensitive areas in
recruitment it should be handled with a lot of care and prudence.
The following points may be kept in mind while doing the same.
1. Documentary proof of the perspective employees current salary should be
examined in detail and its authenticity to be checked.
2. Internal benchmarks should be set so as to avoid severe anomalies and
disparities in fixing up compensation.
Such benchmarks should be fixed for all levels along the lines of qualifications,
relevant years of experience, current role and responsibilities and performance
factors.

3. Sometimes it may be possible that employees may be taken from a single
company in such cases no major deviation to be made either in cadre or
compensation while doing the fitment.
While discussing the compensation we often encounter the issues like
compensating to ensure he joins the company.
DECISION OF SELECTION AND ISSUE OF OFFER
The decision of selection is made on the basis of interview panels inputs,
technical overviews, reference checks and verification of credentials.
Once the compensation and fitment process is finalized the offer of
appointment should be issued.
PERSON SPECIFICATION:
Depending upon the job analysis and description the HR person has draw out
the needs of the job. Once the needs of the job are determined, the skills needed
by the employee for the job are defined. This is called job specification or
person specification.
Job specification defines the essential attributes needed for the terms of
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE JOB:
Educational requirements of the job
General intelligence, Verbal and Numerical aptitude.
Other interests and hobbies.
Personality traits needed for the job.

SUGGESTIONS
Advertisements is the major mode of recruitment, therefore the
advertisement should have a clear briefing about job description/profile
so that the candidates can understand the requirements of the company
and it should also be specific from the companys point of view about its
won requirements.
Other methods of recruitment process like aptitude tests ands can be
opted apart from panel interviews, which are usually employed.
Aptitude testing has already been proved to be a vital component in
choosing the best candidate in modern day recruitment practices. For a
more effective recruitment, Aptitude testing can be implemented in the
selection process.
Part time jobs offers will provide good source for the recruiters to get
the employee especially for the cadre of CSAs.
It is also seen that the time gap between the interview and issue of offer is more, it is required that the candidate must be informed about the
interview status.

CONCLUSION
The study of recruitment and selection policies of Reliance Retail. Pvt. Ltd.
shows that a definite procedure is being followed to ensure the best in the field.
Overall employees are satisfied with the recruitment process that is
followed in the organization.
There is not much difference in the opinions among the employees of
various cadres regarding the aspects of the interviewing process, the
interviewer and their interaction during the interview, which is highly
satisfactory.
The employees of all the cadres have assigned highest priority to company
reputation and then the opportunity for advancement (career growth).
The company had been following the panel interview method, which can be
cumbersome to the recruitment process.
There is wide acceptance that the functional knowledge of the candidate is
very important secondly the attitude of the candidate and then compatibility
of the candidate, his/her health and lastly smartness and wit of the candidate
