    ABSTRACT

    Internship Placements

    Summer Internship is an important and integral part of the academic curriculum. The first

    year consists of two terms that stress on academic rigour and the development of

    technical skills. The summer internship that follows lasts for 8-10 weeks and tests the

    students thoroughly on this learning. The objective of the summer internship process is

    two-fold. It helps the students gain first-hand experience in a particular industry. It

    provides students with ample opportunity to innovate, add to, and challenge ideas and

    techniques imbibed in the first year. It assists students in being more receptive to market

    needs, and in deciding their area of specialization in the second year.

    Another important facet of summer internship is the flow of information about the

    company: the project work and related experiences of the intern eventually gets

    communicated to the entire batch through informal, as well as formal, means. This gives

    the company an opportunity to enhance its visibility on campus by using the intern as an

    ambassador to present itself to the batch.

    The Institute has always enjoyed extensive corporate support; with the result that summer

    projects have been diverse, challenging and intense learning experiences.

    There is also an academic component, interns prepare a report on the summer assignment

    and present it to the organization.

    1. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

    Recruitment and Selection

    Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of personnel

    management. Recruitment precedes selection and helps in selecting a right candidate.

    Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of

    the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in

    adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient personnel. Staffing is one

    basic function of management. All managers have responsibility of staffing function by

    selecting the chief executive and even the foremen and supervisors have a staffing

    responsibility when they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel

    manager and his personnel department is mainly concerned with the staffing function

    .Every organization needs to look after recruitment and selection in the initial period and

    thereafter as and when additional manpower is required due to expansion and

    development of business activities. Right person for the right job is the basic principle

    in recruitment and selection. Ever organization should give attention to the selection of its

    manpower, especially its managers. The operative manpower is equally important and

    essential for the orderly working of an enterprise. Every business organisation/unit needs

    manpower for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this

    recruitment and selection of suitable candidates are essential. Human resource

    management in an organisation will not be possible if unsuitable persons are selected and

    employment in a business unit

    The name of the project is Recruitment. This project is based on the Recruitment process,

    wherein I have studied the whole recruitment process for example how to screen theresume, how to conduct the telephonic interview, how to short list the candidate ,etc.

    1.1 Concept & Significance of the study

    Contract Staffing:-

    Contract Staffing or Temping is a co-employment relationship between an employer, astaffing company and the employee, wherein the staffing company assumes responsibility

    for employer obligations related to Recruitment, Payroll & Benefits, Insurance, Statutory

    Compliance, Employment Taxes, etc.

    Temporary Staffing:-

    Temporary workers are employed by staffing companies and sent to work on specific

    projects or for specified periods of time with their clients. The worker may move from

    one client site to another depending on the staffing companys clients. The temporary

    staffing company is responsible for the salary and benefits of the temporary workers,

    while it in turn, receives payment from the client.

    1 MEANING OF RECRUITMENT :-

    Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitable arrangements

    for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the process of

    searching for and obtaining applicants for the jobs, from among whom the right people

    can be selected. A formal definition states, It is the process of finding and attracting

    capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought

    and ends when their applicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from

    which new employees are selected. In this, the available vacancies are given wide

    publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a

    pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection.In recruitment, information is collected

    from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement,

    employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc.are used. In the recruitment, a pool of

    eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of most suitable candidates.

    Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    10/59

    1.2 Definition:

    According to EDWIN FLIPPO,Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective

    employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.

    Recruitment is defined as, a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the

    requirement of the staffing schedule to employ effective measures for attracting that

    manpower in numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce.

    1.3 Need for recruitment:

    The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situation:

    a) Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability,

    death and labour turnover.

    b) Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification of business

    activities of an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job

    specification.

    1.4 Purpose and importance of Recruitment:

    1. Determine the present and future requirements of the organization on conjunction with

    its personnel-planning and job analysis activities.

    2. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.

    3. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of

    visibly under qualified or overqualified job applicants.

    4. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave

    the organization only after a short period of time.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    11/59

    5. Meet the organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its

    work force.

    6. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate

    candidates.

    7. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and long term.

    8. Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources for all types of

    job applicants.

    Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs available in the

    organization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit applications for the

    purpose of selection. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with

    potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a

    company, and eventually decided whether they wish to work for it. A well-planned and

    well-managed recruiting effort will result in high quality applicants, whereas, a

    haphazard and piecemeal efforts will result in mediocre ones.

    Recruitment refers to the process of identifying and attracting job seekers so as to build apool of qualified job applicants. The process comprises five interrelated stages, viz,

    1. Planning.

    2. Strategy development.

    3. Searching

    .4.Screening.

    5. Evaluation and control.

    The ideal recruitment programme is the one that attracts a relatively larger number of

    qualified applicants who will survive the screening process and accept positions with the

    organization, when offered. Recruitment programmes can miss the ideal in many ways

    i.e. by failing to attract an adequate applicant pool, by under/over selling the organization

    or by inadequate screening applicants before they enter the selection process. Thus, to

    approach the ideal, individuals responsible for the recruitment process must know how

    many and what types of employees are needed, where and how to look for the individuals

    with the appropriate qualifications and interests, what inducement to use for various types

    of applicants groups, how to distinguish applicants who are qualified from those who

    have a reasonable chance of success and how to evaluate their work.

    STAGE 1:

    RECRUITMENT PLANNING:

    The first stage in the recruitment process is planning. Planning involves the translation of

    likely job vacancies and information about the nature of these jobs into set of objectives

    or targets that specify the

    (1) Numbers and

    (2) Types of applicants to be contacted.

    1. Offer Letter ( Temporary)HR & Payroll2. Raising Invoice as per LOI

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    14/59

    STAGE 2:

    STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT :

    When it is estimated that what types of recruitment and how many are required then one

    has concentrate in the activities in the recruitment process.

    (1). Make or Buy employees.

    (2). Technological sophistication of recruitment and selection devices.

    (3). Geographical distribution of labour markets comprising job seekers.

    (4). Sources of recruitment.

    (5). Sequencing

    STAGE 3:

    SEARCHNG:

    Once a recruitment plan and strategy are worked out, the search process can begin.

    Search involves two steps

    A). Source activation and

    B). Selling.

    A). SOURCE ACTIVATION:

    Typically, sources and search methods are activated by the issuance of an employee

    requisition. This means that no actual recruiting takes place until lone managers have

    verified that vacancy does exist or will exist. If the organization has planned well and

    done a good job of developing its sources and search methods, activation soon results in a

    flood of applications and/or resumes. The application received must be screened. Those

    who pass have to be contacted and invited for interview. Unsuccessful applicants must be

    sent letter of regret.

    B). SELLING:

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    15/59

    A second issue to be addressed in the searching process concerns communications.

    Here, organisation walks tightrope. On one hand, they want to do whatever they can to

    attract desirable applicants. On the other hand, they must resist the temptation of

    overselling their virtues. In selling the organisation, both the message and the media

    deserve attention. Message refers to the employment advertisement. With regards to

    media, it may be stated that effectiveness of any recruiting message depends on the

    media. Media are several-some have low credibility, while others enjoy high credibility.

    Selection of medium or media needs to be done with a lot of care.

    STAGE 4

    SCREENING:

    Screening of applicants can be regarded as an integral part of the recruiting process,

    though many view it as the first step in the selection process. Even the definition on

    recruitment, we quoted in the beginning of this chapter, excludes screening from its

    scope. However, We have included screening in recruitment for valid reasons. The

    selection process will begin after the applications have been scrutinized and short-listed.

    Purpose of screening

    The purpose of screening is to remove from the recruitment process, at an early stage,

    those applicants who are visibly unqualified for the job. Effective screening can save a

    great deal of time and money. Care must be exercised, however, to assure that potentially

    good employees are not rejected without justification. In screening, clear job

    specifications are invaluable. It is both good practice and a legal necessity that applicants

    qualification is judged on the basis of their knowledge, skills, abilities and interest

    required to do the job. The techniques used to screen applicants vary depending on the

    candidate sources and recruiting methods used. Interview and and application blanks may

    be used to screen walk-ins. Campus recruiters and agency representatives use interviews

    and resumes. Reference checks are also useful in screening.

    STAGE 5:

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    16/59

    EVALUATION AND CONTROL:

    1Evaluation and control is necessary as considerable costs are incurred in the recruitment

    process. The costs generally incurred are: -

    1. Salaries for recruiters.

    2. Management and professional time spent on preparing job description, job

    specifications, advertisements, agency liaison and so forth.

    3. The cost of advertisements or other recruitment methods, that is, agency fees.

    4. Recruitment overheads and administrative expenses.

    5. Costs of overtime and outsourcing while the vacancies remain unfilled.

    6. Cost of recruiting unsuitable candidates for the selection process.

    1.4 EVALUATION OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS

    The recruitment has the objective of searching for and obtaining applications for job

    seekers in sufficient number and quality. Keeping this objective in the mind, the

    evaluation might include:

    1. Return rate of application sent out.

    2. Number of suitable candidates for selection.

    3. Retention and performance of the candidates selected.

    4. Cost of the recruitment process

    5. Time lapsed data

    6. Comments on image projected.

    Sources of Recruitment

    17/59

    SOURCES OF MANAGERIAL RECRUITMENT

    INTERNAL SOURCES EXTERNAL SOURCES

    1) Promotion 1) Campus recruitment

    2) Transfers 2) Press advertisement

    3) Internal notification 3) Management consultancy

    service(Advertisement) & private employment exchanges

    4) Retirement 4) Deputation of personnel or transfer

    fromone enterprise to another

    5) Recall 5) Management training schemes

    6) Former employees 6) Walk-ins, write-ins, talk-ins

    7) Miscellaneous external sources

    The sources of recruitment can be broadly categorized into internal and external sources-

    (I) Internal Recruitment

    Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within the company. The various

    internal sources include:

    Promotions and Transfers

    Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel records. Job

    posting requires notifying vacant positions by posting notices, circulating publications or

    announcing at staff meetings and inviting employees to apply. Personnel records help

    discover employees who are doing jobs below their educational qualifications or skill

    levels. Promotions has many advantages like it is good public relations, builds morale,

    encourages competent individuals who are ambitious, improves the probability of good

    selection since information on the individuals performance is readily available, is

    cheaper than going outside to recruit, those chosen internally are familiar with the

    organization thus reducing the orientation time and energy and also acts as a training

    device for developing middle-level and top-level managers. However, promotions restrict

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    18/59

    the field of selection preventing fresh blood & ideas from entering the organization. It

    also leads to inbreeding in the organization. Transfers are also important in providing

    employees with a broad-based view of the organization, necessary for future promotions.

    Employee referrals-

    Employees can develop good prospects for their families and friends by

    acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the company, furnishing them with

    introduction and encouraging them to apply. This is a very effective means as many

    qualified people can be reached at a very low cost to the company. The other advantages

    are that the employees would bring only those referrals that they feel would be able to fit

    in the organization based on their own experience. The organization can be assured of the

    reliability and the character of the referrals. In this way, the organization can also fulfill

    social obligations and create goodwill.

    Former Employees-

    These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part-time basis,

    individuals who left work and are willing to come back for higher compensations. Evenretrenched employees are taken up once again. The advantage here is that the people are

    already known to the organization and there is no need to find out their past performance

    and character. Also, there is no need of an orientation programme for them, since they are

    familiar with the organization.

    Dependents of deceased employees-

    Usually, banks follow this policy. If an employee dies, his / her spouse or son or

    daughter is recruited in their place. This is usually an effective way to fulfill social

    obligation and create goodwill.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    19/59

    Recalls: -

    When management faces a problem, which can be solved only by a manager who has

    proceeded on long leave, it may be decided to RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

    recall that persons after the problem is solved, his leave may be extended.

    Retirements: -

    At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of the one who had

    retired, after meritorious service. Under the circumstances, management may decide to

    call retired managers with new extension.

    Internal notification (advertisement): -

    Sometimes, management issues an internal notification for the benefit of existing

    employees. Most employees know from their own experience about the requirement of

    the job and what sort of person the company is looking for. Often employees have friends

    or acquaintances who meet these requirements. Suitable persons are appointed at the

    vacant posts.

    (II) External Recruitment

    External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from sources outside the company.

    They have outnumbered the internal methods. The various external sources include:

    Professional or Trade Associations :-

    Many associations provide placement service to its members. It consists

    of compiling job seekers lists and providing access to members during regional or

    national conventions. Also, the publications of these associations carry classified

    advertisements from employers interested in recruiting their members. These are

    particularly useful for attracting highly educated, experienced or skilled personnel. Also,

    the recruiters can zero on in specific job seekers, especially for hard-to-fill technical

    posts.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    20/59

    Advertisements :-

    It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer

    advertisements because of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job benefits, identify

    the employer and tell those interested how to apply. Newspaper is the most common

    medium but for highly specialized recruits, advertisements may be placed in professional

    or business journals. Advertisements must contain proper information like the job

    content, working conditions, location of job, compensation including fringe benefits, job

    specifications, growth aspects, etc. The advertisement has to sell the idea that the

    company and job are perfect for the candidate. Recruitment advertisements can also

    serve as corporate advertisements to build company image. It also cost effective.

    Employment Exchanges:-

    Employment Exchanges have been set up all over the country in deference to the

    provision of the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act,

    1959. The Act applies to all industrial establishments having 25 workers or more each.

    The Act requires all the industrial establishments to notify the vacancies before they are

    filled. The major functions of the exchanges are to increase the pool of possible

    applicants and to do the preliminary screening. Thus, employment exchanges act as a link

    between the employers and the prospective employees. These offices are particularlyuseful to in recruiting blue-collar, white collar and technical workers.

    Campus Recruitments:-

    Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fields and institutes are

    fertile ground for recruiters, particularly the institutes. Campus Recruitment is going

    global with companies like HLL, Citibank, HCL-HP, ANZ Grindlays, L&T, Motorola

    and Reliance looking for global markets. Some companies recruit a given number of

    candidates from these institutes every year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after

    that each college; university department or institute will have a placement officer to

    handle recruitment functions. However, it is often an expensive process, even if

    recruiting process produces job offers and acceptances eventually. A majority leave the

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    21/59

    organization within the first five years of their employment. Yet, it is a major source of

    recruitment for prestigious companies.

    Walk-ins, Write-ins and Talk-ins-

    The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is direct

    applications, in which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters or resumes.

    Direct applications can also provide a pool of potential employees to meet future needs.

    From employees viewpoint, walk-ins are preferable as they are free from the hassles

    associated with other methods of recruitment. While direct applications are particularly

    effective in filling entry-level and unskilled vacancies, some organizations compile pools

    of potential employees from direct applications for skilled positions. Write-ins are those

    who send written enquiries. These jobseekers are asked to complete application forms for

    further processing. Talk-ins involves the job aspirants meeting the recruiter (on an

    appropriated date) for detailed talks. No application is required to be submitted to the

    recruiter.

    Contractors:

    They are used to recruit casual workers. The names of the workers are not entered in the

    company records and, to this extent; difficulties experienced in maintaining permanentworkers are avoided.

    Consultants:-

    They are in the profession for recruiting and selecting managerial and executive

    personnel. They are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend professionalism to

    the hiring process. They also keep prospective employer and employee anonymous.

    However, the cost can be a deterrent factor.

    Head Hunters:-

    They are useful in specialized and skilled candidate working in a particular company. An

    agent is sent to represent the recruiting company and offer is made to the candidate. This

    is a useful source when both the companies involved are in the same field, and the

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    22/59

    employee is reluctant to take the offer since he fears, that his company is testing his

    loyalty.

    Competitors:-

    This method is popularly known as poaching or raiding which involves identifying

    the right people in rival companies, offering them better terms and luring them away. For

    instance, several executives of HMT left to join Titan Watch Company. There are legal

    and ethical issues involved in raiding rival firms for potential candidates. From the legal

    point of view, an employee is expected to join a new organization only after obtaining a

    no objection certificate from his/ her present employer. Violating this requirement shall

    bind the employee to pay a few months salary to his/ her present employer as a

    punishment. However, there are many ethical issues attached to it.

    Evaluation of External Recruitment:

    External sources of recruitment have both merits and demerits.

    The merits are-

    The organization will have the benefit of new skills, new talents and new

    experiences, if people are hired from external sources.

    The management will be able to fulfill reservation requirements in favour of the

    disadvantaged sections of the society.

    Scope for resentment, heartburn and jealousy can be avoided by recruiting from

    outside.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    23/59

    The demerits are-

    Better motivation and increased morale associated with promoting own

    employees re lost to the organization.

    External recruitment is costly.

    If recruitment and selection processes are not properly carried out, chances of

    right candidates being rejected and wrong applicants being selected occur.

    High training time is associated with external recruitment.

    1.2 Scope

    1. The studys emphasis is on recruitment process of the organization.

    2. The study was done only to know the various sources of recruitment

    What has been rated as the fastest growing human resource trend, the phenomenon of

    contract staffing is finally catching up in India. While industry experts estimate employee

    leasing to be $140 billion business worldwide, the domestic staffing industry is yet to

    boast of big figures. The scenario is however about to change considering the fact that in

    the near future 2.5 to 3 percent of the workforce in the country will be hired on a

    temporary basis. The IT industry being a trendsetter of sorts, will witness a large

    percentage of such hirings in the next few years.

    Contract staffing is expected to grow exponentially in the country, in the near future. It

    is the quality and ease of availability of manpower that would define the role employee

    leasing organizations stand to play, not only in non-core functions but also certain core

    business areas of organizations, points out Reddy, adding that it is imperative for

    outsourcing partners to move from only employee leasing to complete end-to-end

    activity management. It is also necessary for outsourcing partners to be equipped with

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    24/59

    vertical and functional specializations, with key differentiators customized to the Indian

    employment scenario.

    In a recruitment market where the concept of full-time employment is increasingly

    becoming a thing of the past, temporary staffing is emerging as the viable option.

    The concept of labour has changed. It has evolved. Temporary or contract staffing has the

    negative connotations of precarious employment, but there is another side of the coin,

    namely the positive dimensions of flexibility, outside access, lower employment, greater

    employability and increased labour mobility. Temp or contract staffing is todays buzz

    word in corporate world.

    2. INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY

    Human resources is an increasingly broadening term with which an organization,

    or other human system describes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel

    functions with acquisition and application of skills, knowledge and experience, Employee

    Relations and resource planning at various levels. Human resources has at least two

    related interpretations depending on context. The original usage derives frompolitical

    economy and economics, where it was traditionally called labor, one of fourfactors of

    production although this perspective is changing as a function of new and ongoing

    research into more strategic approaches at national levels. The more traditional usage

    within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within a firm or agency, and

    to the portion of the organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other

    personnel issues, typically referred to as `human resources management'.

    2.1 Human Resource Industry Overview

    The human capital market place remains highly competitive and is poised for

    enormous growth in the next 10 years, since companies around the world are investing

    heavily in their human resources infrastructure.

    Human Resources Sourcing or the Placement Industry is recognized as the fastest

    growing industry. Establishments classified under this industry may assist either

    employers or those seeking employment. In India only, while 150lacs agencies help non-

    professional labor with placements such as construction, transport and certain industrial

    jobs, about 800lacs work with professionals in ever-widening fields, such as nursing and

    teaching.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    27/59

    HR Sourcing (placement) is a large and complex universe in itself, encompassing the

    many different functions associated with the HR department.

    2.2 Understanding the Human Resources Marketplace

    The human resources function of an organization is responsible for all the

    practices and processes that impact the companys most important asset their employees.

    And while admittedly there are many ways of categorizing the human resources industry,

    the simplest and most logical method is to organize the industry within the following HR

    pillars:

    Recruitment and Staffing: This includes searching for and hiring new employees and a

    wide variety of services from job boards to staffing and relocation firms, testing and

    assessment technologies, applicant tacking technologies, executive search/placement

    firms, background checking services, etc. For the most part, this category ends when the

    employee is hired.

    Compensation/Payroll: This includes everything from payroll processing companies to

    companies specializing in specific payroll and compensation services, compensation

    design, and salary statistics services.

    Employee Benefits: This category encompasses a wide variety of employee benefit and

    related services from traditional health and welfare benefits to worksite/voluntary

    products, pharmacy benefit programs, benefits administration and communication

    software, third-party administrators, retirement plan services, and workers'

    compensation/disability insurance services.

    Talent Management/Employee Relations: This category includes all the human

    resources services related to managing the individual once they are hired as an employee

    appraisal, evaluation, recognition, promotion, retention, and succession planning services.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    28/59

    Training and Development: This category includes the many products and services

    related to training and developing employees from instructor-based training to eLearning

    solutions.

    Compliance: This category includes all the services related to complying with and

    managing the various aspects of labor laws, labor relations, legislation, litigation,

    alternative dispute services, etc.

    In addition to these specific human resources categories, it is also important to highlight

    services that are cross-functional in nature and relate to one or all the HR pillars:

    Consulting Services: This cross-functional category includes the thousands of consulting

    firms that can help HR departments with one or all aspects of human resources

    management and process improvement.

    HRIS/ERP/ATS Solutions: At one time, this might have been considered a separate

    pillar within HR but today, technology is integrated with and impacts all aspects of HR

    from applicant tracking to eLearning. The Internet and other technologies are

    fundamentally changing the human capital marketplace as companies strive to become

    more efficient. Technology allows HR to automate processes and eliminate many of the

    more labor-intensive transactional and administrative processes that have burdened HR

    professionals for years.

    Outsourcing: Any and all aspect of HR can be outsourced. According to research by

    Gartner, Inc., 80 percent of companies now outsource at least one HR activity, and the

    number is swiftly growing. For this reason, we do not consider outsourcing as a

    functional pillar within HR, but rather cross-functional. Increasing numbers of

    organizations are turning to specialized firms to supplement various aspects of human

    resource management. While outsourcing makes sense for many reasons, the primary

    benefit is containment/reduction of costs of routine transactional and administrative

    work. Another key reason is the belief that a company should outsource all non-mission

    critical aspects of its business.

    2.3 Understanding Staffing Industry

    Dramatic changes in the way, have brought about many innovations in the

    personnel and human resources industry, including the advent of flexible and temporary

    staffing agencies and the emergence of professional employer organizations (PEOs).

    With the downsizing and outsourcing from many large employers, highly

    qualified professionals often find themselves out of work, seeking assistance from

    employment services and staffing agencies. In fact, in recent decades, the traditional

    employment agency has really transformed into the flexible staffing agency, with benefits

    for employers and employees alike.

    Business can benefit from the experience of others, particularly well-educated

    professionals who are willing to trade off steady salaries and solid benefits for the ability

    to spend more time with their families and choose when and where they want to work.

    Companies prefer flexible staffing as well, which allows them to take more time to make

    permanent hiring decisions, at the same time giving them an excellent pool of workers

    from which to recruit on a temporary or even permanent basis.

    According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, temporary jobs accounted for 9

    percent of the new jobs created in 2004. Research conducted at Lehigh University and the

    University of Oklahoma found that firms using contingent, or temporary employees had

    better gross margins than those that relied solely on a permanent workforce.

    As businesses have expanded their staffing needs, employment agencies have had

    to expand the types of workers available. The staffing industry now provides a wide

    variety of services to clients, including light industrial and clerical staffing, information

    technology staffing, healthcare staffing, executive staffing and financial management

    staffing.

    In general, the staffing industry can be categorized as follows:

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    30/59

    Temporary staffing services hire their own employees and assign them to

    client firms to supplement the client's permanent workforce, particularly in cases of long-

    term leaves of absence, vacations or temporary work overloads. Today temporary staffing

    includes more than 60 percent of the staffing industries.

    Managed services include cases when the client firm wants to have a

    specific facility of function managed on an ongoing basis sometimes referred to as

    outsourcing.

    Payroll services typically assign workers, who have been hired by the

    client, back to the client firm.

    Permanent placement services are provided when a staffing service

    screens, interviews and qualifies individuals for long-term placement in a client firm.

    Temp-to-hire services combine the services of a temporary staffing agency

    and a permanent placement service.

    Long-term staffing agencies provide employees from the firm to a client

    for work on a long-term or indefinite assignment.

    Employee leasing today more often referred to as Professional Employer

    Organizations involves relationships in which a client firm places its employees on the

    payroll of the staffing company, a service that appeals to small and mid-sized firms that

    find it cost-effective to use a professional employer rather than provide their own human

    resource department.

    Flexible staffing has gained in popularity for a number of reasons. With the

    advent of technology that enhances productivity and creates more intense competition,

    businesses are forced to become more frugal and profit-motivated. Flexible staffing is

    cost-effective.

    Secondly, temporary staffing allows management to change its employment levels

    as it sees fit to respond to peak times and special projects. The savings enables firms to

    increase the benefits and compensation offered to permanent staff in order to attract the

    most highly skilled and qualified individuals.

    3.2 Services of LSS

    An Understanding of Contract Staffing

    Contract Staffing or Temping is a co-employment relationship between an employer, a

    staffing company and the employee, wherein the staffing company assumes responsibility

    for employer obligations related to Recruitment, Payroll & Benefits, Insurance, Statutory

    Compliance, Employment Taxes, etc.

    Temporary workers are employed by staffing companies and sent to work on specific

    projects or for specified periods of time with their clients. The worker may move from

    one client site to another depending on the staffing companys clients. The temporary

    staffing company is responsible for the salary and benefits of the temporary workers,

    while it in turn, receives payment from the client.

    Although, temp staffing has always existed, it operated in a local, almost informal

    fashion. Temping was usually routed through small agencies, chartered accountancy

    firms and locals who were into small-time placements for corporatist. While a permanent,

    full-time job may still be the norm, labor markets worldwide are changing. The job-for-

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    37/59

    life is being replaced with life-long learning, multi-skilling and a working life with

    multiple careers and flexible hours.

    4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may

    be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically.

    4.1 Research Design

    A Research Design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of

    data in a manner the aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in

    procedure. The research design was quantitative in nature. The sample size was forty

    respondents. The medium of research was through email. A detailed questionnaire was

    made regarding different contract staffing services and the questionnaire was a structured

    one. The questionnaire was then sent to all the forty clients for their response. A liker

    scale was used to record the response of the clients wherein the scale started from

    average, good, very good, to excellent.The questionnaire was formed based on this scale and clients were supposed

    to record their responses on this scale so that their level of satisfaction can be gauged.

    The questionnaire also had a format of answering certain questions in yes or no.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    44/59

    4.2 Data Collection Techniques and Tools

    The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined

    and research design/ plan chalked out. While deciding about the methods of data

    collection to be used for the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data

    viz., Primary and Secondary.

    The Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and

    thus happen to be original in character.

    The Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone

    else and which have already been passed through the statistical process.

    The methods of collecting Primary data are:

    1. Observation Method

    2. Interview Method

    3. Through Questionnaire

    4. Through Schedules

    5. Warranty Cards

    6. Distributors Audits

    7. Pantry Audits

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    45/59

    8. Consumer Panels

    9. Using Mechanical Device

    10. Through Projective Techniques

    11. Depth Interviews and

    12. Content Analysis

    The methods of collecting Secondary data are:

    1. Reliability of Data

    2. Suitability of Data

    3. Adequacy of Data

    The interview method of collecting data involves presentation of oral

    verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral verbal responses. This method can be used

    through personal interviews and, if possible, through telephone interviews.

    The data collection method used for this project is through Interview, and that

    to be very precise a Telephone Interview.

    The merits of Telephone Interview Method are:-

    1. More information and that too in greater depth can be obtained.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    46/59

    2. It is more flexible in comparison to mailing method.

    3. It is faster than other methods i.e., a quick way of obtained information.

    4. It is cheaper than personal interviewing method; here the cost per response is

    relatively low.

    5. Recall is easy; callbacks are simple and economical.

    6. There is a higher rate of response than what we have in mailing method; the non

    response is generally very low.

    7. Replies can be recorded without causing embarrassment to respondents.

    8. Interviewer can explain requirements more easily.

    9. At times, access can be gained to respondents who otherwise cannot be contacted

    for one reason or the other.

    10. No field staff is required.

    11. Representative and wide distribution of sample is possible.

    12. There is greater flexibility under this method as the opportunity to restructure

    questions is always there, especially in case of unstructured interviews.

    13. Observation method can as well be applied to recording verbal answers to various

    questions.

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    47/59

    14. Personal information can as well be obtained easily under this method.

    15. The interviewer can usually control which person will answer the questions. This

    is not possible in mailed questionnaire approach. If so desired, group discussions

    may also be held.

    16. The interviewer may catch the informant off guard and thus may secure the

    most spontaneous reactions than would be the case if mailed questionnaire is

    used.

    17. The language of the interview can be adapted to the ability or educational level of

    the person interviewed and as such misinterpretations concerning questions can be

    avoided.

    18. The interviewer can collect supplementary information about the respondents

    personal characteristics and environment which is often of great value in

    interpreting results.

    Some Demerits of Telephone Interview Method

    1. Little time is given to respondents for considering answers; interview period is not

    likely to exceed five minutes in most cases.

    2. Surveys are restricted to respondents who have telephone facilities.

    3. Extensive geographical coverage may get restricted by cost considerations.

    4. It is not suitable for intensive surveys where comprehensive answers are required

    to various questions.

    5. Possibility of the bias of the interviewer is relatively more.

    6. Questions have to be short and to the point; probes are difficult to handle.

    7. Interviewing at times may also introduce systematic errors.

    A questionnaire was prepared by the researcher which contained basic

    questions regarding the services of the companies. And the researcher called 5

    competitors of Lobo Staffing to understand the services, these companies provide to their

    Internal and External employees/client.

    4.3: Sample Design:

    A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling

    frame. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting

    some sampling units from which inference about the population is drawn.

    4.4: Limitations

    As the client companies were busy, many of them didnt responded to the

    questionnaire and as the survey was done through mails, most of the companies didnt

    replied as many of them were on leave or were busy with other meetings. It made the

    survey suffer a little as the researcher was able to collect and analyze only fifteen

    responses out of forty respondents

    5. Data Analysis and Interpretation

    The data, after collection, has to be processed and analyzed in accordance with the

    outline laid down for the purpose at the time of developing the research plan. This is

    essential for a scientific study and for ensuring that we have all relevant data for making

    contemplated comparisons and analysis. The term analysis refers to the computation of

    certain measures along with searching for patterns of relationship that exist among data-

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    groups. Thus, in the process of analysis, relationships or difference supporting or

    conflicting with original or new hypotheses should be subjected to statistical tests of

    significance to determine with what validity data can be said to indicate any conclusions.

    Processing of data in this project is done in Tabulation.

    Tabulation: -

    When a mass of data has been assembled, it becomes necessary for the researcher to

    arrange the same in some kind of concise and logical order. This procedure is referred to

    as tabulation. Thus, tabulation is the process of summarizing raw data and displaying the

    same in compact form for further analysis. Tabulation is an orderly arrangement of data

    in columns and rows.

    Tabulation is essential because of the following reasons.

    1. It conserves space and reduces explanatory and descriptive statement to a

    minimum.

    2. It facilitates the process of comparison.

    3. It facilitates the summation of items and the detection of errors and

    omissions.

    4. It provides a basis for various statistical computations.

    Tabulation can be done by hand or by mechanical or electronic devices. The choice

    depends on the size and type of study, cost considerations, time pressures and the

    availability of tabulating machines or computers. We may use mechanical or computer

    tabulation if other factors are favorable and necessary facilities are available. Hand

    tabulation is usually preferred in case of small inquires where the number of

  • 8/14/2019 SHRADDHA Final Draft

    51/59

    questionnaires is small and they are of relatively short length. Hand tabulation may be

    done using the direct tally, the list and tally or the card sort and count method. When

    there are simple codes, it is feasible to tally directly from the questionnaire.

    Tabulation may also be classified as simple and complex tabulation. Simple tabulation

    results in one way tables which supply answers to questions about one characteristic of

    data only. Complex tabulation usually results in two way tables, three way tables or

    still higher order tables, also known as manifold tables, which supply information about

    several interrelated characteristics of data. Two way tables, three way tables or

    manifold tables are all examples of what is described as Cross tabulation.

    Chapter 6: Conclusions, Limitations and Suggestions

    6.1 SUGGESTIONS & CONCLUSIONS

    1. LSS Pvt Ltd can charge fees for making resumes for the candidates which will be

    a new way to generate money.

    2. LSS Pvt Ltd doesnt check candidates criminal record which is essential inensuring the authenticity of the candidate, so there can be improvement here.

    3. LSS Pvt Ltd should arrange get together and farewells for internal employees, soas to motivate them for better performance.
