1.1 Introduction:
Acquisition of manpower is the first function of Human Resource Management. It begins from Human resource Planning, Recruitment, and Selection & Socialization of an employee. Recruitment is necessary for all organizations for the below given reasons: To carry on its work, each organization needs personnel with necessary qualifications, skills, knowledge, work, experience and aptitude for work. This is proved through Recruitment, Selection and Induction. Large number of persons who have grown old, who retire, who die, or become incapable because of physical or mental ailments; there is constant need for replacing such personnel .This is done through Recruitment and Selection process. Recruitment is essential because of frequent labour turnover. In order to meet the expansion programs which bring in more business arising from improvements effected in slump period, Recruitment is unavoidable. The nature of present work force in relation to its changing needs also necessitates the recruitment of new labour. To meet the challenge of new and changing technology and techniques of production new blood is to be injected in the organization. All the above reasons make a good recruitment policy an essential part of human Resource Management.

Questionnaire:

Software development is the set of activities that results in software products. Software development may include research, new development, modification, reuse, reengineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.

Market research Gathering requirements for the proposed business solution Analyzing the problem Devising a plan or design for the software-based solution Implementation (coding) of the software Testing the software Deployment 14

Recruitment:
Recruitment refers to the process of screening, and selecting qualified people for a job at an organization or firm, or for a vacancy in a volunteer-based organization or community group. While generalist managers or administrators can undertake some components of the recruitment process, mid- and large-size organizations and companies often retain professional recruiters or outsource some of the process to recruitment agencies. External recruitment is the process of attracting and selecting employees from outside the organization. The recruitment industry has four main types of agencies: employment agencies, recruitment websites and job search engines, "headhunters" for executive and professional recruitment, and in-house recruitment. The stages in recruitment include sourcing candidates by advertising or other methods, and screening and selecting potential candidates using tests or interviews. Also known as a employment agencies, recruitment agencies have historically had a physical location. A candidate visits a local branch for a short interview and an 15
assessment before being taken onto the agencys books. Recruitment consultants then work to match their pool of candidates to their clients' open positions. Suitable candidates are short-listed and put forward for an interview with potential employers on a temporary ("temp") or permanent ("perm") basis. Outsourcing is beneficial for both the corporate organizations that use the outsourcing services as well as the consultancies that provide the service to the corporate. Apart from increasing their revenues, outsourcing provides business opportunities to the service providers, enhancing the skill set of the service providers and exposure to the different corporate experiences thereby increasing their expertise. The advantages accruing to the corporate are:
turning the management's focus to strategic level processes of HRM accessibility to the expertise of the service providers freedom from red tape and adhering to strict rules and regulations optimal resource utilisation Structured and fair performance management. a satisfied and, hence, highly productive employees value creation, operational flexibility and competitive advantage
Therefore outsourcing helps both the organisations and the consultancies to grow and perform better.

GERARD V. MCMAHON teaches Human Resource Management at the Faculty of Business, Dublin Institute of Technology. He is also lead presenter on the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's Selection Interviewing training programme. The success of an organization greatly depends on the efficiency of its employees, and the selection task is arguably the most important of all the decision-making processes that employer and their line manager have to undertake. This book is a practical guide to the best practice for human resource and personnel managers and their line colleagues for recruitment and selection of employees. While human resources are the most valuable of assets, for any organization, incompetent and the unsatisfactory staff are a great liability and difficult to get rid off due to many constraints including governmental regulations. In this book the author offers solid advice in the matter of recruitment and Selection practices.
46
conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. Usually small businesses for-profit or nonprofit have to carry out these activities themselves because they can't yet afford part or full-time help. However, they should always ensure that employees have and are aware of personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have. Recruitment of staff should be preceded by an analysis of the job to be done, written into a job description so that the selectors know what physical and mental characteristics applicants must possess, what qualities and attitudes are desirable and what characteristics are decided as disadvantages. The main sources of recruitment are internal promotion and internal introductions, careers officers, university appointment boards, agencies for the unemployed and advertising Interviewing can be carried out by individuals like supervisor or departmental manager by panels of interviewers or in the form of sequential interviews by different experts and can vary from a five minute chat to a process of several days. Ultimately personal skills in judgment are probably the most important. Based on the guidelines above, the researcher concludes that Human Resources Management (HRM) is suitable for every company to have an improvement of their recruitment process. A deep analysis of the job description and the qualities of the
47
potential employee is being done using HRM. By doing this process, companies will have a better choice of the best workforce that can contribute to the companys growth. Using HRM in the recruitment process is also cost effective. It can minimize errors in employing incompetent individuals, thus, saving money for the company.
48
49
A) Order acceptance:
This is the first stage of the selection process where in the Senior Associates meet the potential clients who have active requirements in the market. This is a business deal between the Company and the consulting firm. It depends on the Terms and Conditions. Here the Senior Associate interacts on various sources to track the profiles and the process is initiated through mails.
B) Understanding of Requirements:
At this stage the Sr.Associates meet the concerned HRs of the client company to understand their requirements. At this point of time the respective recruiters to obtain more clarity on the requirement could accompany the business developers.
50
Datapoint is getting the client company profile then a requirement analysis and then a list of the target companies.
D) Commitment of deadlines:
In other words commitment of deadlines is nothing but TAT (Turn around Time). After analyzing the requirement the concerned person commits on TAT to the client to close the positions. Adhering to the committed TAT is very vital to the reputation of the organization. The break up of the TAT is as follows: CV outflow- 9 hours CV short listing (from client end) 24 hours Organizing interviews (by consultancy) 36 hours Short listing or closure of positions 48 hours
E) Team setting:
This depends on the number of positions, criticality of the requirement and the TAT, and the priority of the requirement.
1. Collection of Resumes:

2. Internal Database:
A common database is placed in Hyderabad. All branches across are linked to this database.
3. Referrals:

51
This is the best way of generating the quality resumes pertaining to the requirement. For instance some of the portals that are used are naukri, jobs ahead, times jobs, monster etc. This acts as an interface between the candidate and the client.
5. Head Hunting:
Searching for the best candidates particularly for the senior executive positions. They search for the most suitable candidates and advice the company regarding the filling up of the positions. Headhunters are also called search consultants.
6. Short-listing Resumes:

52
