ABSTRACT
This is the procedure of Manpower Planning, Recruitment and selection procedures in different
IT Undertaking Companies.
This report gives details about characteristics and mindsets of chosen employees to represent
the company.
This examination is fundamentally based on essential and optional information gathered from
organization representatives, web and online articles, summarize about papers and HR
manuals.
IT Undertaking Companies pursue HR practices according to their business and Service Rules
set by the State and Central Government arrangements.
HR is currently considered as an ASSET rather LIABILITY. Division of HUMAN
RESOURCE in every one of the organizations is currently in spotlight rather than rearward
sitting arrangement and it is found out that "HR can't work in offices".
Great human resource methodologies and practices are the foundation of the considerable
number of organizations. And a great human resource board is the main fundamental role in
anchoring the practices, trainings and laws in the IT organizations.

CHAPTER -1
INTRODUCTION
Recruitment is the process of hiring human resource from various backgrounds which include
students from universities or drive-in or telephone interview, which allow the company to help
recruit the suitable person for the job . Recruitment is mainly done by paying amount to the
employee on monthly basis or yearly basis. And there can also be situations where the
employee is being hired without any payment. In the situations where the employee is being
hired on the basis of no-payment. It indicates either the employee has agreed to work there on
his/her own willingness or there has been additional benefits guaranteed in the place of money.
Recruitment has to be done very carefully in a procedural way so that the recruited employee
will be fruitful to the job he/she has taken to do. To secure the right person for the job initially
the process must begin with a sample of who all to be selected for the interview. So the process
initially begins by conducting MOCK TESTS for the candidates who all are willing to take the
job. The mock test include three different sections. In the first section the questions will be
about the APTITUDE. And the second section consists of VERBAL. The third section is
TECHNICAL. So once the candidates are finished with the mock tests, there will be an
evaluation of test and the evaluation is done by three employees from three different positions
in the company. The verbal tests are being evaluated by the person from the literature
background. The HR’s evaluate the aptitude section of answers. The technical section is being
evaluated by the employer of IT department. Once the candidate is able to pass the MOCK
TEST round he will going into the GROUP DISCUSSION round. In this round of evaluating
the candidate the HR sits in the group discussion and will get to know the candidates in personal
point of view and will allow the candidates to process to an interview if he/she feels the
candidate can be well suited for the job. Then comes the last and final round the INTERVIEW
where the HR person interviews the candidate on his own perspective and will finalize the
number of candidates who are being selected. The above mentioned procedure is being
implemented when the recruitment process is taken within the campus or college or any
university.
viii
The telephonic interview is mainly preferred when the employee who is being interviewed is
not a newly employed candidate. He/she who is in a telephonic interview will be having an
experience so he/she need not be a part of the mock tests which are being conducted in the
earlier case. The candidate will be speaking directly to the HR in the company and will answers
the questions which are being posed by the HR and HR decides whether to recruit or not.
In case of Drive-in interviews the process of recruitment is either done by including or
discluding mock tests based on the nature of the employee.
Once the selection and recruitment process is done, the candidates who have been recruited
would be directly taught about the rues and regulations of the company the DO’s and Don’ts
within the company. Later they would be given a specific date and time scheduled to visit the
company to make sure they are well aware about the whereabouts in and around the company
Then the training and development starts to take place with the candidates who are being
recruited and they will get to know the workplace the colleagues and the management
The contract of the employee who has been recruited will be taking an undergoing an
agreement that he/she from the moment of time will be in the contractual manpower as an
employee of Purple Techno Solutions.
There is also a feedback being taken about the procedure of recruitment and the way it has been
handled. And the employees who were recruited will have their say on the process of
recruitment and the feedbacks will be initially be sent to the management and they will discuss
the flaws (if any) with the HR’S in the company. These feedback process will take place with
the completion of the training and development process.
Continuous feedback after every 6 months from the employees will be taken and they will have
their say upon the workplace and the above people guiding them. These will be directly handled
by the management. Which say’s the importance the management is putting effort towards its
employees. Any flaws made by the higher level management will be questioned and action
would be taken if necessary.

CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Recruitment selection and retention: The shape of teaching force by (Phillip C schlecty and
victor s vance) (1983). This paper depends on the study hall teacher’s fitness in America. In
1932 Willard Waller portrayed what should be done flawlessly to accept teacher as an
occupation in America. Also, in 1963 Koerner expressed that most of the teachers were
considered as unmarriageable ladies and unmarketable men. There was additionally an awful
comment on the teachers who were teaching in schools in America and the characteristics of
the personnel who are being recruited was being questioned regularly. Recruitment and
selection process through an effective group discussion support system By (Hsu-Shih and
Huan-jyh shyur) (25-08-2005). This paper says that a two phased decision making is being
suggested to get an overview about the results in various ways wide ranges of personal
characteristics can be evaluated by making the decision a two way process. This way the
process of consensus is being brought to life and encouraged. The authors believe that this
way the procedure is expected to be even more effective. Recruiting in small firms: practices
and techniques and issues. By (Mick Marchington, Jill Earnshaw, Stephen Taylor) (1st June
1999). This paper briefs about the investigations identified with the recruiting procedure in
smaller firms. This paper reveals to us how far the administration in the smaller firms differ
from the procedures and techniques which are being used by bigger firms in their recruitment
and selection process. According to the author it demonstrates that there are a different
number of issues which have landed because of not following the procedure of recruitment.
This paper finished up by saying that the administration would not think about any
recruitment strategy's despite the fact that there are many confirmations saying that there are
issues happening due to the nonprocedural recruiting. It also says that by following the
procedures and practices of recruitment in smaller firms like the big ones can reduce that staff
turnover in the smaller firms.
Manpower strategies for flexible organizations By (John Atkinson, institute of manpower
studies) (August 28 1984). This paper says that any new manpower policies which are being
implemented in a firm will be often due to the unplanned business outcomes of the company
x
so the initiatives which are being taken will be without any considerations of the manpower
implications. Which in cases have let too bad manpower results. As a result of the unplanned
business techniques the firms have found themselves in a position of more flexible ways of
managing the manpower. Flexibility includes functional numerical and financial ways.
Manpower management By (Peter J Buckley , Peter Enderwick). This paper briefs about how
the manpower is being influenced in the industries. It’s mainly dependent on the
characteristics of the industry the main factor is the substantial fluctuations in demand for
manpower. Manpower recruitment is based on the factors such as employment instability and
unstable industrial structure which has been referred as the main causes for fluctuations in
contractual manpower.
Recruitment challenges, issues and strategies in Indian software industries By( Narendra m
Agarwal) (2003). This paper briefs about the ongoing challenges in Indian software industry
about the Human resource department in particular. The author investigates about the
characteristics of Indian software professionals. Ans some of the challenges are reluctant to
take on a position from technical to management within the IT industry, voluntary Attrition,
lack of managerial skills and teamwork. The paper also speaks about the motivating the IT
employees and moving up them the value chain, creating them learning opportunities. And
various other aspects of challenges within the employee’s themselves. Recruitment Strategies
: exploring the dimensions in the Indian Software Industry By ( Piyali Gosh & Geethika) (1st
January 2007). This paper starts by saying that employee skill set is the major factor which
drives them throughout their IT career not the technological advancements. So advanced
recruitment strategies are important to the IT industry to get the exact kind of employee
working in the organization. The size of the organization and among various factors
determine the type of strategy which has to be developed. Ans the author believes that this
can be achieved mainly with the help of a survey. The findings from the survey help put them
into the different stages of the strategy. And these strategies are focused to mainly meet the
short-term requirements. A resource-based analysis of recruitment and selection practices of
Indian software companies. By (Pramila Rao) (23rd march 2010). This paper briefs about the
internal recruitment, employer references, succession planning, interviews and personality
tests. This paper identifies the successful staffing practices by the Indian software companies
as the multinational companies are growing at a huge rate in India. This paper also identifies
about the successful staffing practices in the Indian software organizations and also the
human resource management challenges of the Indian software industry.

SUGGESTIONS

Use the 3rd party’s recommendation to hire the employees in the organization. For (ex)
the former employees who worked in the organization and outside sources

Employee feedback needs to be concentrated even more than the current adopted
analysis.

Employees from all the sections of the firm made contactable. The marketing team, The
HR team and the Technical team to ensure an effective output

Make well set of guidelines onto how the employee feedback must be dealt with and
how it can be mad as a WIN-WIN situation for both the management and the
employees.

As the technology is growing the use of social media web-sites can be used to the
recruitment policy rather that stick to the three recruitment methods which are being
used now.
These are some of the suggestions to be implemented to make the firm even stronger in
recruitment and selection process
xx
CONCLUSION
Most of the employees in the organization felt that they are fairly recruited in the company and
also the process of recruitment was transparent, and they didn’t feel that they were being biased
in any situation with both the Male and the Female employees. They also felt the HR’s were
not too harsh during the recruitment process and they had been given enough time to answer
to the questions they were asked.
And the tests which were conducted before the recruitment process were also fair and not so
out of the context questions, which they learnt in past few years of the under graduation.
The recruited employees also felt that they had been guided properly into the organization and
didn’t feel they were left out on their own and thanked the organization for being caring about
them. And which also had given a good impression within the employees about the
organization.
At a whole the organization structure is not as perfect as the bigger organizations, but Purple
Techno Solutions seek to improve the firm as a whole in terms of its structure the technological
advancements and the employee development skills.
