INTRODUCTION:

• Recruitment policy-construed either as one specific policy or as the set of policies utilized-provides a framework for the sequencing, integration, management and oversight of recruiting efforts. Essential recruitment policy requirements include full compliance with governmental as well as in-house regulations and standards, some measures of policy effectiveness, a review and revision mechanism, clearly formulated objectives and awareness of the nature and scope of available recruitment resources.For the purposes of developing and evolving recruitment policies, keeping abreast of latest innovations or other changes in the field will strengthen the framework, just as making good use of feedback from all three sides of the recruitment equation—the organization, the recruiters and the applicants-will.
• Wipro is India’s largest IT services provider with gross revenue of $6.03 billion in the past financial year. The company is into integrated business, technology and process solutions at a universal basis. The company employs more than 115000 people and is headquartered in Bangalore, India (Web 01). The company is also in other sectors like consumer care, lighting, engineering and healthcare. The company was established in 1945 by M.H Premji. But it was his son and current chairman, Azim Premji who transformed the company into one of the most reputed brands in India. Solely due to his efforts, the company now has more than 40 ‘Centers of Excellence’ and operates in 4 continents.
• Like every successful company, Wipro also gives high importance to Recruitment policy. The Company is India’s 6th top employer. But the company is not even in the top 20 best employers of the country while their competitors like TCS, Infosys etc. are always in the top ten (Web 02). Therefore, it can be judged that the HR functions in the company need to be thoroughly reviewed

NATURE OF RECUIREMENT POLICY:

• This policy and procedure cover all activities that form part of the recruitment and selection process. It is applicable to all staff recruitment except casual staff. In order for the policy and procedure to be effective it is essential that any employee who is involved in any aspect of the recruitment and/or selection of staff is aware of this document and follows it. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the Human resource management in the organization.

COLLECTION OF DATA:

Methods of Data collection

Data collection is the most important activity or process in research. Data collection plays a crucial role in finding the actual problem and solution to that problem. Generally there are two methods for finding the data.

1. Primary Data
2. Secondary Data

1.Primary Data:-

Primary data have been collected through questionnaires and by informal interaction with the Supervisors and heads of the Production & Administration Department.

Data have also been collected by visiting the actual line.  This gives the actual reason of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Since some workers were not ready to give their fair opinion while filling the questionnaires. Methods applied for collection of data:

• Personal interview method:- In the personal interview method, we generally meet the person from whom we want information. In this method we generally ask some questions to the person so that we get information to our question. We can also call it as face to face data collecting method.
• Face to face survey at responded:- in this method we go person to person for collecting information. Every person tells his different view about that particular topic. It is very good method of collecting primary data.
• Written survey:- In this kind of method, we collect the information by writing the gated information on papers, making notes etc.
• Questionnaire:- It is again a very important method of collecting the primary data. Through asking the number of questions we can collect good form of information.
• Sample Size:- 50 Employees, 50 workers

2. Secondary Data:-

Secondary data is that data which is already existing in the organization. Some information will be collected in the past project reports of Wipro, some information is being collected from the website ofWipro.

• Newspaper:- Through newspaper we can get information.
• Magazines:- Through newspaper we can get information.
• Internet:- Web browsing is also another useful tool for collecting secondary information. Internet provide us huge amount of data which help us to study the particular topic interestingly. It is again a very important tool for collecting secondary data.

1.2 SAMPLING FRAMEWORK:

1. Population Definition:
   A statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen.
2. Sample Size:
   The sample size of 50 employee and 50 workers

CONCLUSION:

1. The Research has investigated or come to the point that the Recruitment and Selection processes used in the Organization (s) is varying in nature.
2. As per the small firms are concerned the way of recruiting and selection is on a little scale and sometimes have impudence of others as well, but coming to large organizations the impudence is not there but the large scale of recruiting and selection is quite lengthy and time consuming.
3. The available literature and discussion clearly supports that the importance of having and following a well-structured Recruiting and Selection policy should be used and followed by the HR personnel’s in order to gain the best of the staff and new recruits for the organization as the management of the organization or company depends upon its HR department and it should not let the company executives down, maximum benefits do also occur when these policies are developed and implemented in the company’s policies and memo’s.
4. This study has revealed that the organization’s executives and line managers were a little satisfied with the recruitments and selection process but still there is very much to come in the future for the line managers and the personnel’s to tackle with, which they are not aware of. Another point to be concluded is that there is no vast way of recruiting the new staff as the large firm’s normally goes within the population of its internal manpower and does not go out to recruit as it has got a lot of many staff in their own organization to fulfil their needs. At the end the organization is more confident in their mature staff rather than going out for a new recruit who might take time to settle down and learn the outcomes. The line managers take a key responsibility in training the new recruits after their selection and have to go through this burden as the HR manager’s haven’t got anything to do with this, so it becomes a little more complicated then it is thought to be.

6. If the Human Resource department is to be treated as the inimitable competencies for the organization, then the recruitment and selection has a critical and good role to play as it is the only job for the HR department but to convince for the best needs of the part too.

organization is their main role to play. Several new and interesting things did occurred

while going through the research and new findings were found as well too, but this

does not mean that the main problem solving was let down. The end came with a good

bang of knowledge and skills that the recruitment and selection in an organization

should be in measures to the policies made. The interviews and the questionnaire’s

feedback were good but it still did lack the knowledge of best and good judgment of

a new staff. Internal selections are widely held in a large organization and hence the

chance for new recruit to join the growing industry fails off and the selected personal

for the new post is already a member of the organization, but sometimes when his or

her post gets empty the chance for the new staff to join starts to grow up. The other

thing noticed in the research carried out was that the recruitment is done only on the

needs basis but still if there is an opportunity of a recruitment but the need is not

there, hence the HR would save the finance’s for the organization as the need is not

important then the financ
