What is recruitment? Recruitment is a process for selection and identification of: 1. Needs 2. Minimum requirements as per the situation.

3. Sources from where we can meet the required criterion. 4. Confidence, communication skills and know-how, that is, content.

1. Selection through internal process The replacement chart, industry knowledge and job experience of the employees is taken into account. The potential candidates are considered for promotion after an written test and a personal interview. 2. Selection through external process (a) Through references- The potential candidates are called for a personal interview (b) Through campus placements- After shortlisting candidates through a written test, they are called for a personal interview. (c) Through placement agencies (d) Walk-in interviews, job sites and advertisements.

The interview process can be divided into following modules:

1. Retail There can be a written test followed by a personal interview which would analyze communication skills. 2. Wholesale The personal interview will analyze how good you are at application-based skills. 3.
