Without positive and creative contributions from people, organisations cannot progress and prosper. In order to achieve the goal or perform the activities of the organisation, therefore, we need to recruit people with requisite skills, qualifications and experience. While doing so, we have to keep the present as well as the future requirements of the organisation in mind. GlaxoSmithKline gave the opportunity to know the aspect of recruitment and selection. The scope of the project is short listing of candidate, scheduling interviews and confirming and other recruitment related procedures.

Introduction
HRP helps determine the number and type of people in an organisation needs. Job analysis and job design specify the task and duties of job and qualification expected from prospective jobholders. The next logical step is to hire the right number of people of the right type to fill the jobs. Hiring involves two broad groups of activities: y Recruitment y Selection Recruitment and selection needs can be explained in the diagram given below:

Fig-1.2 Recruitment and selection needs

Recruitment Meaning and Definition :Recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected. A formal definition of recruitment is: 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 application are submitted. The result is the pool of applicants from which new employees are selected

Purpose and Importance:Determine the present and future requirements in conjunction with personnel planning and job analysis activities.  Attract and encourage more and more candidates to apply in the organization.  Create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates for the organization.  Determine present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its personnel planning and job analysis activities.  Recruitment is the process which links the employers with the employees.  Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.  Help increase success rate of selection process by reducing number of underqualified or over-qualified applications.  Reduce the probability that job applicants once selected would leave shortly  Meet legal and social obligations  Identify and prepare potential job applicants  Evaluate effectiveness of various recruitment techniques and sources for job applicants.

Factors Governing Recruitment:Given its key role and visibility, recruitment is naturally subject to influence of several factors. These include external as well as internal factors.

Fig-1.3 Factors governing Recruitment

Internal factors Affecting Recruitment

The internal factors or forces which affecting recruitment are:
1.Recruitment Policy
The recruitment policy of an organisation specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people.

Factors affecting recruitment policy

y y y y y Organizational objectives Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors. Preferred sources of recruitment. Need of the organization. Recruitment costs and financial implications.

2. Human Resource Planning

Effective human resource planning helps in determining the gaps present in the existing manpower of the organization. It also helps in determining the number of employees to be recruited and what qualification they must possess.

3. Size of the Firm

The size of the firm is an important factor in recruitment process. If the organization is planning to increase its operations and expand its business, it will think of hiring more personnel, which will handle its operations.

4. Cost
Recruitment incur cost to the employer, therefore, organizations try to employ that source of recruitment which will bear a lower cost of recruitment to the organization for each candidate.

5. Growth and Expansion

Organization will employ or think of employing more personnel if it is expanding its operations.

EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT

The external factors which affecting recruitment are:
1. SUPPLY AND DEMAND
The availability of manpower both within and outside the organization is an important determinant in the recruitment process. If the company has a demand for more professionals and there is limited supply in the market for the professionals demanded by the company, then the company will have to depend upon internal sources by providing them special training and development programs.

2. LABOUR MARKET
Employment conditions in the community where the organization is located will influence the recruiting efforts of the organization. If there is surplus of manpower at the time of recruitment, even informal attempts at the time of recruiting like notice boards display of the requisition or announcement in the meeting etc will attract more than enough applicants.

3. IMAGE/GOODWILL
Image of the employer can work as a potential constraint for recruitment. An organization with positive image and goodwill as an employer finds it easier to attract and retain employees than an organization with negative image. Image of a company is based on what organization does and affected by industry. For example finance was taken up by fresher MBAs when many finance companies were coming up.

4. POLITICAL-SOCIAL-LEGAL-ENVIRONMENT
Various government regulations prohibiting discrimination in hiring and employment have direct impact on recruitment practices. For example, Government of India has introduced legislation for reservation in employment for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, physically handicapped etc. Also, trade unions play important role in recruitment. This restricts management freedom to select those individuals who it believes would be the best performers. If the candidate cant meet criteria stipulated by the union but union regulations can restrict recruitment sources.

5. UNEMPLOYMENT-RATE
One of the factors that influence the availability of applicants is the growth of the economy (whether economy is growing or not and its rate). When the company is not creating new jobs, there is often oversupply of qualified labour which in turn leads to unemployment.

6. COMPETITORS
The recruitment policies of the competitors also effect the recruitment function of the organisations. To face the competition, many a times the organisations have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the competitors.
