PREFACE
People are a companys most important assets. They can make or break the
fortunes of a business. In todays highly competitive business environment
placing the right people in the right position is very critical for the success of any
organization. The recruitment and selection decision is of prime importance as it
is the vehicle for obtaining the best possible person-to-job fit that will, contribute
significantly towards the company's effectiveness. It is also becoming
increasingly important, as the company evolves and changes, that new recruits
show a willingness to learn, adaptability and ability to work as part of a team. The
recruitment & selection procedure ensures that these criteria are addressed.

In this project I have studied recruitment and selection process of HDFC BANK
and attempted to provide some ways so as to make recruitment more effective and
to reduce the cost of hiring an employee.
The efforts in this report have been aimed at articulating and systematizing the
definite conceptual core of recruitment and selection for developing human
resources planning. The report illustrates a collection of different deliberate steps
and criteria for selecting the employee in a particular organization. Research
based on several distinct approaches to identify and develop best way to select the
right people at the right place. During the training period i have studied deeply
the process of hiring in HDFC BANK and did a swot analysis of HDFC BANK to
find out the existing shortcomings and potential threats and thereby recommended
suggestions. The text for the report is the result of the process of research and
effort in the HDFC recruitment phenomena.

requisite skills to perform varied jobs. Shortage of skilled manpower, today
threatens the very competitive positioning of many corporations and the situation
is not getting any better. Thus to sort out the talented is a multi step procedure
which is performed through the following steps.

Screening

Aptitude test

Interviews

Verification of documents

Whole criteria used to take approximately 2 to 3 days maximum and usually

can be thoroughly finished within in one day. After the selection of right
candidates at right place at right time, organization provided offer letter and
appointment letter.

Report based on the findings and facts of duration of the recruitment and
Selection, stability and retaintion of the employee. To evaluate data related to
these facts, questionnaire are prepared and filled with the sample size 30.

Some other key issues being faced by organizations are

Majority of the people hired turn out to be under performers.

Cost of replacing manpower is anything between 2 to 3 times his or her

salary.

The cost of consistently failing to attract and retain good talent including
declining productivity, morale, culture and reputation - is inestimable.

Each vacant position in any organization costs a huge amount to it.

Getting the best talent, and keeping the talent you have is becoming
increasingly and intensely competitive Most corporate officers say that the
biggest constraint to pursuing growth opportunities is talent

CHAPTER 1.
INTRODUCTION
Human Resource is a basic need of any work to be done. According to ARTHUR
LEWIS:
There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have
roughly equal resources, so it is necessary to enquire into the difference in human
behaviors
The project report is all about recruitment and selection process thats an important part
of any organization. Recruitment highlights each applicants skills, talents and
experience. Their selection involves developing a list of qualified candidates, defining a
selection strategy, identifying qualified candidates, thoroughly evaluating qualified
candidates and selecting the most qualified candidate. It is said if right person is
appointed at right place the half work has been done. In this project I have tried to cover
all the important point that should be kept in mind while recruitment and selection
process and have conducted a research study through a questionnaire that I got it filled
with all the sales departments employees of the HDFC BANK and tried to find out
which methods and various other information related to recruitment and selection and
tries to come to a conclusion at what time mostly the manpower planning is dont , what
the various method used for recruiting the candidates and on what basic the selections is
done.
HDFC has a well-articulated equal opportunity policy, which lays strong emphasis on
hiring of individuals irrespective of age, race, caste or gender. As a best practice in
recruitment.

LINKAGE OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION TO THE HUMAN

RESOURCE ACQUISITION:

Recruitment process is concerned to search and identify the human manpower and
perfect human resources. Selection can be conceptualized in terms of either
choosing the fit candidates or rejecting the unfit candidates, or a combination of
both.

CONCEPT OF RECRUITMENT SELECTION:

After the identification of need for the number and types of the personnel as
indicated by manpower planning and job analysis, the step is to acquire these
personnel this involve location of such personnel, motivating them to offer
themselves for consideration for selection, and selecting the personnel who fit
with organizational and job requirements. The whole process is known as
recruitment and selection.

RECRUITMENT;

Recruitment is the process concerned with the identification of sources from

where the personnel can be employed and motivating them to offer themselves for
employment. Werther and Davis have defined this as follows:
Recruitment is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for
employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when
their applications are submitted. The result is pool of applicants from which new
employees are selected.

SELECTION:

Selection can be conceptualized in terms of selecting the appropriate candidates,

or deny the inappropriate candidates. Selection involves both because it picks up

11

the fits and rejects the unfits. In facts, in Indian context, there are ore candidates
who are rejected than those who are selected in most of the selection processes.

Therefore, sometimes, it is called a negative process in contrast to positive

programme of recruitment. A formal definition of selection has been provided by
Stone as follows:
selection is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify
(and heir) those with a great likelihood of success in job.

Selection process assumes and rightly so, that there are more number of
candidates available than the number of candidates actually selected. These
candidates are available through recruitment process.

To ensure that our recruitment process is fair and consistent, all candidates who
are successful at the exams are invited for a capability based interview. Interviews
are based against capabilities, required for each position for which the candidate
is interviewed for. A capability or competency is an ability described in terms of
skills & behaviors that are essential to effectively perform within a job.

Apart from the educational and academic capability, the chief attributes HDFC
SLI looks out for in a candidate are as follows:

We look out for a candidate who values Integrity

Has a zeal for Excellence

Is focused on Results

Is Self driven and Enthusiastic

12

Is a good Learner and Team Player

Is dedicated to Customer Satisfaction

RECRUITMENT PROCEDURE

Normally, an organization can fill up its vacancies either through promotion of

people available in the organization or through the selection of people from
outside. Thus, there can be two sources of supply of manpower-external and
internal. For all recruitment, a preliminary question of policy considers the extent
to which it wills emphasis external and internal sources. The question is not of
either or but is one of relative importance of both sources because every
organization has to fill up some through promotion and, in the some way, every
organization has to fill up some vacancies through outsiders. Selection of
particular source of manpower supply depends on several factors numerated
below:
The policy of taking candidates from outside and inside affects the attitude and
action of the people in the organization. Filling up the position through internal
promotion has a favorable reaction among employees. They are likely to associate
themselves with the organization as they see their future secured in the
organization through promotion. However, this may result into mediocre
performance as a guarantee of promotion itself will bring complacency.
The level of socialization required and time taken for that determines the inside
or outside source of recruitment. If the socialization process for an organization
13

operating in a particular industry takes substantial time, it can prefer internal

source of recruitment.
People selected from outside take time to socialize themselves with an
organization. For certain jobs, this process may take considerably longer time. For
example, marketing executive of a consumer product company will take less time
in socialization in another consumer product company but more time in capital
goods industry. Same is the case with production people but finance people may
take same time in spite of the differences and similarities of organization. The
need for originality and new ideas also affect new policy. The organizations which
place high importance on these factors go for outsides sources. Similarly, the
organizations which grow through diversification give more importance to outside
sources as existing people may not be fully equipped to handle new business.
These factors are considered while determining the sources of recruitment.
While vacancies through internal sources can be filled up either through
promotion or transfer, recruiters tend to focus their attention on outside sources.
Normally following outside sources are utilized for different position;
Advertisement: Advertisement is most effective means to search potential
employees from outside the organization. Employment advertisement in journals,
newspaper, bulletins, etc, is quite common in our country. By means of
advertisement, the organization able to communicate its requirement of people
some of whom may be its prospective employees. An advertisement contains brief
statement of the nature of the jobs, the type of people required, and procedure for
applying for these jobs.
On campus recruitment: many organization conduct preliminary search of
prospective employees by conducting interviews at the campuses of various
institutes, universities and colleges. This source is quite useful for selecting
people to the post pf management trainees, technical super supervisor, scientist
and technicians. The organizations hold preliminary interviews on the campus on
the predetermined date and candidates found suitable are called for further
interviews at specified place.
14

Labour union: in many organizations, lobour unions are used as source of

manpower supply, though at the lower levels. The idea behind employee
recommendations as a source of potential applicants is that present employees
may have specific knowledge of the individuals who may be their friends,
relatives, or acquaintances. If the present employees are reasonably satisfied with
their jobs, they communicate their feelings to many people in their communities.
Employment agencies: many organizations get the I formation about the
prospective candidates through employment agencies. In our country two types of
employment agencies are operating:

Public employment agencies

Private employment agencies
Though both of these perform activities regarding
employment suggestions to their clients, often they differ
considerably:

Public employments agencies- there are employment exchange run by the

government all most in all district. The employment seekers get
themselves registered with these exchanges. Normally such exchanges
provide candidates for lower positions like semi skilled and skilled
workers, and lower level operatives like clerks, juniors supervisors, etc.

Private employment agencies-

there are consultancy and employment

agencies like ABC consultants, personnel and productivity services etc.,

which provide employment services particularly for selecting higher level
and middle level executives. These agencies also take total function of
recruiting and selecting personnel on behalf of various organizations. They
charge fee for this purpose.

15

Deputation: Many organizations take people on deputation from other

organization. Such people are given choice either to return to their original
organization after a certain time or to opt for present organization. At the initial
development of public sector organizations, this source is quite common for
filling managerial vacancies in these organizations. People from civil and defense
services were put on deputation in these organizations. Organizations promoted
by various industrial groups also us this source to fill higher managerial positions.
People working in one organization are deputed in another belonging to same
industrial house.

Employee recommendations: employee recommendations can be considered to

employee personnel particularly at the lower levels. The idea behind employee
recommendation as a source of potential applicants is that the present employees
may have specific knowledge of the individuals who may be their friends,
relatives and acquaintances. If the present employees are reasonably satisfied with
their jobs, they communicate their feeling to many person in their communities.

Gate hiring: the concept of gate hiring is to select people who approach on their
own for reemployment in the organization. This happens mostly in the case of
unskilled and semi skilled workers. Gate hiring is quite useful and convenient at
the initial stage of the organization when large number of people may be required
in the organization. It can be made effective by the prompt disposal of
applications, by providing information about organization policy and procedure
regarding such hiring and providing facilities to such gate callers.
It is not that particular organization will utilize all sources of employ people of all
types. Some of sources are more useful for particular category of employees. For
example, advertisement and deputation are more useful for employing managerial
personnel. Similarly labour union and gate hiring are more suitable to employ
labour and unskilled person. Utilization of various sources of recruitment should
16

be evaluated in terms of the degree of success in obtaining competent people. Post

record in this context may be useful indicators. Since there are different category
of employee to be selected, different sources of recruitment are used. For
example, according to the study by Rudravasavaraj, a public sector undertaking in
heavy engineering recruited its non-supervisory staff through:

employment exchange

external advertisement

internal advertisement

central training institute

introduction by liaison officer of the undertaking

deputation of personnel

transfer from other public sector undertaking

According to this study, the major sources of recruitment in public sector

undertaking are in the following order:

casual caller or employment seeker

newspaper advertisement

schedule cast and schedule tribes

employment exchanges

other public undertaking

internal advertisement

displaced persons

relatives and friends of present employees

employee recommendation

colleges and universities

The major sources of recruitment for private sector of organizations are:

advertisement
17

employment exchanges

relatives and friends

casual caller

employee recommendation

SELECTION PROCEDURE:

A selection process involves a number of steps. The basic idea is to solicit

maximum possible information about the candidates to ascertain their suitability
for employment. Since the type of information required for various positions may
vary, it is possible that the selection process may have different steps for various
positions. For example, more information is required for the selection of the
managerial personnel as compared to workers. Similarly, various steps of
selection process may be different for various organizations because their
selection practices may differ. For example, some organization conduct selection
tests of various types while others may not use these. However standard selection
processes have following steps:

1. Screening of application: Prospective employees have to fill up some sort of

application form. These forms have variety of information about applicants like
their personal bio-data, achievement and experience etc. such information is used
to screen the applicants who are found to be qualified for the consideration of the
employments. The information may also be used to keep permanent records of
those persons who are selected. Based on the screening of application, only those
candidates are called for further process of selection who are found to be meeting
to the job standards of the organization. When the numbers of applicant meeting
the job standards far exceed the actual requirement, the organizations decide a
suitable number of candidates who will be called for further selection process.

18

2. Selection test: many organization s hold different kinds of selection tests to

know more about the candidates or to reject the candidates who can not be called
for interview, etc. selection tests normally supplement the information provided in
the application forms. Such form may contain factual information about
candidates. Selection test may give information about their aptitude, interest,
personality, etc., which can not be known by the application forms.

3. Interview: Selection test are normally followed by personal interview of

candidates. The basic idea is to find out overall suitability of candidates for the
jobs. Its also provide opportunity to give relevant information about organization
to the candidates. In many cases, interview of preliminary nature can be
conducted

before

the

selection

process.

For example, in the case of campus selection, preliminary interview is held for
short listing the candidates for further process of selection.

4. Checking of references: Many organizations ask the candidates to provide that

names of referees from whom more information about the candidates can be
solicited. Such information related to character, working, etc. the usual referees
may be previous employers, person associated with the educational institutions
from where the candidates received the education, or other person of prominence
who may be aware of the candidates behavior and ability. In our country,
references are not given adequate importance because of their biasness but these
can give very useful information which may not be available otherwise.

19

5. Physical examination: Physical examination carried out to ascertain physical

standards and fitness of prospective employees. The practice of physical
examination varies a great deal both in terms of coverage and timing. While many
organizations do not carry physical examination at all, other carries on a very
comprehensive basis. Some organizations only have general check up the
applicant to find the major physical problem which may come in the way of
effective discharge of the duties. In the on test of timing also, some organization
locate the physical examination near the end of the selection process, others place
it relatively early in the process.

6. Approval by appropriate authority: on the basis of the steps, suitable candidate

are recommended for selection by the selection committee or personnel
department. Though such a committee or personnel department may have
authority to select the candidates finally, often it is staff authority to recommend
the candidates for selection to the appropriate authority. Organization may
designate the various authorities for approval of final selection of candidates for
different categories of candidates. Thus for top level of managers board of
director may be approving authority; for lower level, even functional heads
concerned may be approving authority. In university, it may be syndicate
executive communities. When the approval is received, the candidates are
informed about their selection and asked to report for duty to specified persons.

20

7. Placement: after all the formalities are completed, the candidates are placed on
their jobs are based in the probation basis. The probation period may range from
three months to two years. During this period, they are observed keenly, and when
they complete this period successfully, they become the permanent employees of
the organization.

OBJECTIVE

LIMITATIONS

(Problems Faced During the Project)

22

Life is full of complexities, diversities and adventures.

The more you live, the more your find yourself grasped in these complexities of
life. To be a successful person, one has to cross the hurdles of these complexities
and believe that they are adventures which are to be explored. Similarly,
following were the set of hurdle or limitations which were faced by me before I
could arrive at the successful completion of this.
1. Time consuming activity:-

HRP collects information from all departments, regarding demand and supply of
personnel. This information is collected in detail and each and every job is
considered. Therefore the activity takes up a lot of time.

2. Expensive process:-

The solution provided by process of Recruitment and Selection incurs expense.

E.g. convinces, overtime, paper work etc. trainee has to spend money in carrying
out the activity. Hence we can say the process is expensive.

3. Attitude of top management:-

Much top management adopts a conservative attitude and is not ready to make
support. Due to shortage of time and busy schedule they usually unable to give
proper support.

4. As most of the employee were busy in their work, it was difficult to meet them
individually for an interview.

23

METHODOLOGY
The way in which research is conducted to adopt different research strategy
employed and the research instruments utilised (and perhaps developed) in
the pursuit of a goal the research objective(s) - and the quest for the solution
of a problem - the research question. The purpose of this is to:

expand the research strategy, including the research methodologies which are
adopted;

introduce the research instruments that we have developed and utilised in the
pursuit of our goals.

24

SOURCES OF DATA
Data constitute the foundation for statistical analysis. When statistical data are
collected and analyzed it is usually in a context of population and their characteristics.
It should be noted that a population is the totality of the units understudy and a
population characteristics is an attribute of a population unit.

Data are of mainly two types based on collection method:

1. Primary data; primary data are obtained by study specifically designed to full fill
the problem at hand. Such data are original in character and are generated in large
number of survey conducted mostly by researcher himself or institutional researcher
bodies.

Direct personal interviews: under this method of collecting data there is a face to face
contact with the person from whom the information is to be obtained (known as
respondents or informants). The interviewer asked them questions pertaining to the
survey and collects the desired information.

Indirect oral interview: under this method of collecting data investigator contacts
third parties called witness. Those are capable of supplying the necessary information.
The method is generally adopted in those cases where the information to be obtained
is of the complex nature and the informants/ respondents are not inclined respond is
approach directly.

Information from correspondents: under this method the investigator appoints local
agent or correspondents in different places to collect information. The corresponded
collects and transmits the information to the central officer where the data are
processed.

Mail questionnaire method: under this method a list of questions pertaining to the
survey (known as questionnaire) is prepared and sent to the various informants by
post. The questionnaires contain questions and provide space for answer. Request is
made to informants through a public through a public letter to fill up the questionnaire
and sent it back within specified time.

Schedules sent through enumerates: another method pf collecting information is that

of sending schedule through the enumerate rod interviewer. The enumerator contact
the informants get replies to the questions contained in the schedule and fill then in
their own handwriting in the questionnaire form.

2. Secondary data: data which are not originally collected but rather obtained from
some sources are known as secondary data. In the most of the studies the investigator
finds it imperceptible to collect first hand information to the related issues and as such
he makes the use of data collected by other. There is vast amount published
information from which statistical studies and fresh statistics are constantly in state of
production.

SAMPLE SIZE

This is the number of elements that is contained in the sample of the analyzed data
set. Percentages and projections in the analysis are calculated based on this case
weight. Sample sizes are used to identify the data tolerance range that has to be
considered when evaluating the results. Both outweighed and weighted cases should
be displayed next to each other. The sample size of a statistical sample is the number
of observations that constitute it. The number of participants in the trial. The intended
sample size is the number of participants planned to be included in the trial, usually
determined by using a statistical power calculation. The percentage of the individuals
(or groups) originally randomized for whom outcome data could not be obtained.

For the proper evaluation of methodology of recruitment and selection the sample
size considered is 30 with the format of questionnaire of 20 questions. Thus number
of participant accumulated through the sales department of HDFC BANK and also
from the Religare.

METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION

In data collection, collection of the data self using methods such as interviews
and questionnaires. And other might be used, such as

Survey method

Personal interview with candidates

In depth conversation with the placement agency

compile data.

INSTRUMENT USED

Instrument is defined as a tool to identify the data based result for successful
process of recruitment and selection. These instruments are helpful to accumulate
data and information about the selection of the candidates and the view of the
participants. Thus during the training period that instruments are manual as well
as electronic. These instruments are ;
Telephone
Paper record
Computer aided, software etc.

HDFC Standard Life first came together for a possible joint venture, to enter the Life
Insurance market, in January 1995. It was clear from the outset that both companies
shared similar values and beliefs and a strong relationship quickly formed. In October
1995 the companies signed a 3 year joint venture agreement.

Around this time Standard Life purchased a 5% stake in HDFC, further strengthening
the relationship.

The next three years were filled with uncertainty, due to changes in government and
ongoing delays in getting the IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development
authority) Act passed in parliament. Despite this both companies remained firmly
committed to the venture.

In October 1998, the joint venture agreement was renewed and additional resource
made available. Around this time Standard Life purchased 2% of Infrastructure
Development Finance Company Ltd. (IDFC). Standard Life also started to use the
services of the HDFC Treasury department to advise them upon their investments in
India.

Towards the end of 1999, the opening of the market looked very promising and both
companies agreed the time was right to move the operation to the next level.
Therefore, in January 2000 an expert team from the UK joined a hand picked team
from HDFC to form the core project team, based in Mumbai.

Around this time Standard Life purchased a further 5% stake in HDFC and a 5% stake
in HDFC Bank.

In a further development Standard Life agreed to participate in the Asset Management

WEAKNESS:

In this booming market where we need to capture the mind of customer by providing
them with new global facility and service should be available everywhere .if we talk
about SBI it have 36 ATMs UBI 18 ATMs where as HDFC Bank has only 4 ATMs
and 3 Branch.

Some customer are not satisfied about banking service and facilities
It have not goods channels in rural and semi- urban area it was totally cover to city
and multi-city area. But nationalized bank cover total area.

It have only 1,412 branches across only 528 cities in India compare to other
competitors bank it is very few and does not cover to over all India.

HDFC Bank has ICICI,IDBI,AXIS,SBI,PNB,BOB,UBI, Ing-Vesya,Standard Charter ,

ABN-AMRO,and CITY BANK,as competitors which are more powerful in terms of
secured market.

OPPORTUNITY:

Where all banks re facing problems Lehman brothers, Bank of America , Merrill
lynch was insolvency all over world economic condition is very bad .market was be

decrease day-by-day. HDFC is a bank which is strong enough to run properly in this
competitive market.

As being a private sector bank it is fresh from all kinds of rumors o it has got a new
channel

to

makes

its

reputation

before

customer.

For example many international banks have faced a tragedy of being defame in the
view of customers.

HDFC Bank can service is very goods compare the other private sector and
nationalized bank. It can provide the easy loan facility to the customer and a make a
proper goodwill.

It has nice chance to spread its branches over small city and sub-urban over of India.

Domestic consumption continues to drive growth. India is expected to be least

impacted due to the global slowdown due to its diverse economic base and favorable
demographics. The Company has focused on direct to consumer lending, innovative
structuring of credit solutions, strong processes and prudent risk management. The
company follows a micro market approach to geographic segmentation of markets.
The company plans to expand its product portfolio by adding General Insurance
services and Investment! Savings Products such as sale of Mutual funds to its
portfolio.

Threat:

Irrational pricing, lenient credit norms in the past have led to increase in Nonperforming assets across the retail lending space.

The markets will continue to mature leading to rising expectation from consumers and
your Companys growth will depend on its ability to differentiate its products!
Services to compete effectively.

Growth of the companys asset book, quality of assets and ability to raise funds
depends significantly on the economy. Unfavorable events in the Indian economy can
affect consumer sentiment. Changes in Government policy, regulatory framework
could impact the companys operations.

Recently many private banks have faced a great losses and some international banks
was insolvency due to bad economic condition .and now they will be in the market
with different strategy so now to look for the innovation and try to find out the
weakness of these banks.

Still HDFC Have not got a very good service channels so it, needs to improve its
service and increase the no. of its channels HDFC Bank staff is very few according to
customer service compare to other banks so it need to increase our staff and open new
branch recently.

FACTS AND FINDINGS

OUTCOMES OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
PROCESS

The ultimate objectives of both recruitment and selection are to acquire suitable
candidates but their immediate objectives differ. The basic objective of recruitment is
to attract maximum number of candidates so that more options are available the basic
objective of selection is choose the best of the available candidates.

Recruitment differs from selection in terms of process. Recruitment adopts the

process of creating application pool as large as possible and, therefore, it is known as
positive process. Selection adopts the process through which more and more
candidates are rejected and fewer candidates are selected or sometimes not a single
candidate is selected. Therefore, it is known as negative process or rejection process.

HDFC SLIs recruitment policy is well structured and provides the company with a
competitive edge due to the following reasons:

The recruitment policy focuses on recruiting the best potential people.

It ensures that every applicant and employee is treated equally with dignity
and respect.

It is an unbiased policy.

It aids and encourages employees in realizing their full potential.

It allows transparent, task oriented and merit based selection.

It abides by relevant public policy and legislation on hiring and employment

relationship.

It Integrates employee needs with the organizational needs.

CHAPTER 4.

SUGGESTION
AND
RECOMENDATION

SUGGESTION

The human resources are the most important assets of an organization. The success or
failure of an organization is largely dependent on the caliber of the people working
therein. THE RECRUITMENT POLICY of an organization should be well planned
and thus should be such so that it:

Reduces administration costs

Provides employees with job security

Encourage responsible trade unions

Provide suitable employment to handicapped, women and minority group

Be flexible enough to meet the changing needs of the organization

Works towards the growth and prosperity of the organizatsion.

After the study of RECUITMENT AND SELECTION I find that the effective
procedure of recruitment is most importance is every organizational Management has
to do more effective effort for continuous success in the field of Service and financial
sector.

There is need to introduce online recruitment, maintain software for sources of

candidates to avoid postal and couriers

delays through which time of processing

becomes increase. There is need to increase in our human resources.

Generally evaluation of employees on the job and off the job is necessary on daily,
weekly, & quarterly basis but still people are not much aware about software involve
in recruitment and selection procedure in our Management in India. So there is need
to improve the awareness and use to save the time and save the budget, so that it
matches the requirement and settlements in the all types organizations.

Other than futures and options, other instruments like video conferencing, online
recruitment, and psychometric test options have to be introduced so that area of
human resource is broadened.

There is need to provide facility and training to the employee and candidates in favors
of technology.
In today's market, companies no longer compete just on price, product and
packaging. The real competition is for talent. And the companies with best
talent win. we work to enable our clients to gain a recruiting advantage in the
market through the application of sales and marketing techniques, tools and
methodologies.
