EXPANDING

HORIZONS

Indian Oil has set its sight to reach US$ 60 billion revenues by the year 2010-11 from current earnings of US$ 34.44 billion. The road map to attain this milestone has been laid through vertical integration forward into petrochemicals and backwards into exploration and production of crude oil, besides diversification into natural gas business and globalization of our operations. In petrochemicals, a master plan envisaging Rs. 25,000 crore (US$ 5.7 billion) investment is already underway. The commissioning of the worlds largest single train Linear Alkyl Benzene plant at Koyali refinery in August 2004 and the on-going integrated Paraxylene/Purified Terephthalic Acid (PX/PTA) plant and a world-scale Naphtha Cracker with downstream polymer projects are part of this plan. Indian Oil also proposes to convert the on-going Paradip refinery into a refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex to strengthen its presence in the sector.

In exploration & production (E&P), Indian Oil has participated in the first three rounds of NELP (New Exploration Licensing Policy) in India, in consortium with other companies, and was awarded 11 exploration blocks. It has acquired participating interest in on-shore blocks in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh region. Overseas ventures include 2 blocks in Sirte Basin in Libya and Farsi Exploration Block in Iran. The Corporation is also exploring opportunities to acquire a suitable medium-sized E&P company to quickly consolidate its upstream operations. In natural gas business, IndianOil is already marketing 5.26 MMSCMD (million metric standard cubic meters per day) of gas. To augment its business in the sector, it has now finalized an import deal for 1.75 million tonnes of LNG per annum with Iran for supplies from the year 2009 onwards. The Corporation has also proposed partnering Petropars, a subsidiary of National Iranian Oil Company, in jointly developing gas blocks in the North Pars fields of Iran.

CHAPTER RECRUITMENT

2 PROCESS

2.1

THEORETICAL

CONCEPTS

Before an organization can fill a job vacancy, it must find people who not only are qualified for the position but also who want a job. Recruitment refers to organizational activities that influence the number and type of applicants who apply for a job and whether the applicants accept the jobs if offered. Thus recruitment is directly related to both human resource planning and selection. Although it can be quite expensive, organizations have not always viewed recruitment as systematically as other HR functions such as selection. During the coming years, however the importance of recruitment will increase for many organization's for at least two reasons: A majority of companies think that they will face shortage of employees who posses the necessary have attracting 2.2 left skills recruitment budgets qualified DIAGNOSTIC for much the smaller than jobs. before. applicants. APPROACH The downsizing and cost saving measures undertaken by many companies in recent years Thus recruiters will have to become acquainted with new and more cost-effective ways of

Various factors in the environment affect the recruitment process. The recruitment process begins with an attempt to find employee with the abilities and attitudes desired by the organization and to match them with the tasks to be performed. Whether potential employee will respond to the recruiting efforts will depend on the attitudes they have developed towards those tasks and the organization on the basis of their past social and working experiences. Their perception of the task will also be affected by the work climate in the organization. How difficult the recruiting job is depends on a number of factors: external influences such as government and union restrictions and the labour market, plus the employer's requirements and candidates 2.2.1 External Influences Govt. & Union preferences. Restrictions

Government regulations prohibiting discrimination in employment and hiring have a direct impact on recruiting practices. Although there is no guaranteed way to avoid legal entanglements associated with recruiting, some basic principles of sound recruiting practices can be Post notices regarding and the availability desirable of a followed. job. ones.

Be wary of establishing qualifications that might directly or indirectly exclude members of protected 2.2.2 Composition of Labour & Location of groups. Organization Be sure the job qualifications are applied to every applicant in a consistent manner. As the number of legal requirements has increased, it has become more important for an organization to analyze the composition of workforce. Such analysis is done to determine whether the firm's employment practices are discriminatory. The location of the organization and the relevant market will play a major role in the composition of the work force. Therefore, government and union restrictions labour market conditions, the make up of the work force and the location of the organization are external forces that affect each other. None of these forces are necessarily more important than any other force. Each of them must be considered in developing a sound recruitment plan that results in an effectively functioning organization.

INTERACTIONS

OF

THE

RECRUIT

&

ORGANIZATION

The nature of the organization and the goals of the manager are highlighted in the above diagram, as is the nature of the task. The techniques used and the sources of recruits vary with the job. As far as the applicants are concerned, their abilities and past work experience affect how 2.3.1 organization 2.3.2 they go Organization's policies and procedures, Recruiting about View and the seeking of organizational a job. Recruiting image.

Several aspects affect recruiting from organization's viewpoint: the recruiting requirements set, Requirements

The recruiting process necessarily begins with a detailed job description and job specification.

Without these, it is impossible for recruiters to determine how well any particular applicant's fits the job. It should be made clear to the recruiter, which requirements are absolutely essential and which ones are merely desirable. This can help the organization avoid having unrealistic expectations of potential employees: an employer might expect applicants who stand first in their class, are president of all extra curricular activities, have worked their way through school, have 10 years of experience and are willing to work for long hours. Contrasted with this unrealistic approach, the effective organization examines the specifications that are absolutely necessary for the job. Then it uses these as its beginning expectations for recruits. Finding applicants who possess the needed skills for a job is the "science" of recruiting. Beyond determining whether an applicant has the skills needed for the job, recruitment in the coming years will also have to determine whether the applicant will function well within the culture and value system of the organization. Interview performances in terms of interpersonal styles are one of the most critical factors used by recruiters to evaluate prospective job candidates. 2.3.3 Organization Policies & Practices In some organization's, HRM policies and practices affect recruiting and who is recruited. One of the most significant of these is promotion from within. This policy means that organization's recruit from outside the organization only at the initial hiring level. They feel this is fair to present loyal employees and assures them a secure future and a fair chance of promotion, and most employees favour this approach. Some employers also feel this practice helps protect trade 2.3.4 Organizational secrets. Image

The image of the employer generally held by the public can also affect the recruitment. All else being equal it is easier for the organization with a positive corporate image to attract and retain employees than an organization with a negative image. The good or bad, well-known or unknown images of these organization's will affect how they are viewed by the job recruits. The organizations image is complex, but it is probably based on what the organization does and whether it is perceived as providing a good place of work. The larger the organization, the more likely it is to have a well-developed image. A firm that produces a product or service the potential employee knows about or uses is also more likely to have an image for the applicant. The organization's image is also affected by its industry. These images change. Job applicants can seldom have interviews with all the organizations that have job openings of interest to them. Because there are time and energy limits to the job search, they do some preliminary screening. One of these screens is the image the applicants have of the organization, which can attract or repel them. In sum, the ideal job specifications preferred by an organization may have to be adjusted to meet the realities of the labour market, government or union restrictions, the limitations of its policies and practices and its image. If an adequate number of quality people apply, the

organization may have to adjust the job to fit the best applicant or increase its recruiting efforts. 2.3.5 Potential Employees View of Recruiting The applicants have abilities, attitudes and preferences based on past work experiences and influences by parents, teachers and others. These factors affect recruits in two ways: how they set 2.3.6 their job preferences of and how they for go about seeking & a job. Jobs Preferences Recruits Organization

Recruits have a set of preferences for a job. The recruit also faces the limitation of labour market, government and union restrictions and the limits organizational policies and practices. The recruit must anticipate the compromises just as the organization does. What factors affect the organization decision? A more educated set knows the labor market better, have higher expectations of work and find organization's that pay more and provide and more 2.3.7 Job Search stable & Finding a employment. Job

It is not always enough to be simply in the right place at the right time. The effective job searcher creates opportunities in a systematic way. Effective job search involves several steps including self-assessment, information gathering and networking, targeting specific jobs and successful presentation. The job search process begins with self-assessment. The purpose of self-assessment is for job searchers to recognize their career goals, their strength's and weaknesses, interests values and preferred life styles. This information is later used in the search process to help the applicant assess whether he is fit with a particular job offer. The assessment is similar to what organizational recruiters will be doing, only from the perspective of the applicant. Information gathering and networking are methods for generating lists of potential employers and jobs, information sources include newspapers, trade publications, college recruitment offices and 2.4 METHODS organizational OF insiders. RECRUITING

Most job openings are filled with people from within the organization and entry-level positions are the most likely to be filled by external sources. Methods for internal recruiting include job posting, skill inventories, job bidding and referrals. Methods of external recruiting include school and college recruiting, advertising, and using employment agencies and executive research firms 2.5 INTERNAL and Vs EXTERNAL the RECRUITING Internet. METHODS

Internal recruiting methods include posting position openings, distributing memos within the organization and searching organizational databases for a match between the skills required to perform the job and the skills held by the current employees. This method of recruiting looks to internal sources to fill positions and encourages promotions from within. External recruiting methods include advertising position. Whether managers choose internal or external-recruiting methods depends on the degree to which organization's strategy encourages promotions and transfers from within the organization. Recruiting from within can lead to job satisfaction and

motivation if employees see new career opportunities available. In addition filling positions with existing employees ensures to large extent that these employees are socialized as to the organization's culture and personality. However problems can arise if the internal promotion system is not viewed as fair. The best way to avoid negative backlash when hiring or promoting from within is to install fair practices and procedures. If steps are taken to ensure a fair internal promotional process, most people will accept their loss and remain productive and useful organizational citizen. External recruiting 2.6 2.6.1 method helps bring new ideas Job and approaches to the organization. METHOD Positing INTERNAL RECRUITING

Many position can be filled as a result of posting the job opening on the bulletin boards, announcing the opening in a company newsletter or posting announcement on the companies intranet. A job posting procedure enables employees to strive for a better position within the company. Notices of important openings should include all-important information about the job. Some firms have turned to computers to make their job posting more fruitful. All employees who wish to participate complete questionnaires about themselves, which include items concerning relocation willingness and preferences as well as training and educational backgrounds. A few skills are selected out of the total that best represent their functional skills. When a position needs to be filled the requirements is matched and candidates selected. Although positing jobs can be an efficient method of recruiting, numbers of problems have been associated. 2.6.2 Example it can lead to Skills personal bias and stiff competition. Inventory

Another recruiting method is the use of skill inventories. Essentially a skills inventory includes a list of employee names, their education, training, present position, work experience, relevant job skills and abilities and other qualifications. The organization can search through the company skill 2.6.3 inventory to identify potential Job candidates for the position opening. Bidding

These procedures typically specify that all jobs covered by the agreement must be fitted by qualified applicants from within the bargaining unit. Those interested in the vacancy bid for the job by applying if they are qualified. The individual fills the position with the highest seniority from among the qualified applicants. In some cases applicants take competitive examinations. However 2.7 2.7.1 only EXTERNAL Campus current employees RECRUITING are eligible. METHOD Recruitment Using a job bidding system is normally very easy. However it can present some difficulties.

Recruiting at high school or vocational schools is often a strategic approach adopted by organizations with position openings at the entry level or internal training programs. Recruiting at the college level serves as a major source for acquiring managerial, professional and technical skills.

The gap that exists between the skills that organizations will need over the next several years and those currently possessed by potential employees is growing. The number of jobs requiring a college degree is on the increase. Unfortunately for the organization it is a very time consuming and expensive exercise. But pressures from the external environment will continue to force organizations to be highly visible and active in this kind of recruiting. In college recruiting the organization sends an employee usually called a recruiter, to a campus interview candidates and describes the organization to them. Coinciding with the visit, brochures and other literature about the organization are often distributed. The organization also runs advertisements to attract the candidates. In the typical procedure, those seeking employment register at the college placement service. This placement service is a labour market exchange providing opportunities for students and employers to meet and discuss potential hiring. Preliminary interview with employers is done. Students are given detailed influence about the job and the profile. Salaries are negotiated. The expenses are borne by the organization. Many of the changes are designed to reduce overall recruiting costs while maintaining a strong applicant's flow into the organization. The trend seems to be for an organization to develop a stronger, ongoing relationship with a relatively selected 2.7.2 relatively inexpensive recruiting mechanism. Advertising is useful for filling open position quickly. Advertising usually does not target a specific audience. Specified defined advertisements will attract qualified applicants, dissuade unqualified ones from applying 2.7.3 and making Private the recruitment process more efficient.

Employment

Private employment agencies vary considerably in size and effectiveness as good sources of employee and must be chosen carefully by employers and job seeking alike. A preliminary interview is conducted for the applicants. Unfortunately some agencies are more concerned with placing employees quickly than in effecting a good match between the employee and the organization. The discrepancy can be reduced if the HR managers give detailed and specific requirements. 2.8 UTILIZING RECRUITING RESOURCES

Companies frequently use a variety of internal and external recruiting strategies to locate and hire their workers. Although one technique may work well for some organizations, the same technique may prove ineffective for others. Some technique may mesh well with the organization's competitive strategy, but others do not. By integrating both internal and external recruiting techniques, a company can develop an

overall recruiting plan that is specifically tailored to support its overall strategy and result in selection of highly qualified applicants. Exactly how many recruits are needed can be determined from past recruitment efforts. Specifically a yield ratio can be developed for each position to be filled. A yield ratio is the number of candidates who pass a particular recruitment hurdle divided by the number who attempted approach. 2.8.1 Re-recruitment Strategies Re-recruitment strategy is a series of steps a company can take and retain key employees. Rerecruitment strategies are a good idea, but essential in turbulent times such as after downsizing or a major organizational restructuring. Key employees are defined as employees whose loss would have the most detrimental effect on the organization. Once the key employers have been located, the next step is to determine what can be done to motivate them to remain with the organization. A flexible work arrangement will mean something different to every employee, so it is important to dearly delineate what key employees want and need with respect to flexibility. Flexibility can also be offered by introducing compressed work weeks, flexible starting times and completion time where workers can leave work for an hour or two to deal with family matters. An increase in the compensation can also help retain a key employee. Retention bonuses have also been used successfully as a means of getting technical staffers. Without a salary adjustment key employees may be stolen away by competitors, 2.8.2 Career Development Opportunities College graduates entering work force for the first time are clear about their expectations and are less willing to adapt their values and work styles to accommodate to their employers. the hurdle.

Companies are responding to these needs by offering a variety of programs for new employees. One factor that should be considered prior to selection is the "fit" between the individual career objectives and the career path that can be realistically offered by the firm. Career plateauing which refers to the point in a career where future hierarchical movement is unlikely, has become a real problem in organization's today.

METHODS

Given the importance of recruiting to the organization the method used in recruiting should be evaluated periodically. One of the most important reasons to evaluate recruiting method is to determine the cost versus benefits of various methods. When recruiting method does not attract enough applicants many organizations' respond by raising the salaries. Although some job

applicants may be enticed by money, this may not be a cost-effective method of recruiting. Further employees within the organization may perceive inequity if new employees are brought in at a similar or even higher salary. Recruiting costs include factors such as the cost of advertising, the salaries and travel expenses of recruiters, travel expenses of potential job applicants and recruiting agencies. These costs must be weighed against factors such as the position of acceptance offers. At a minimum, organizations should compare the length of time applicants from each recruiting source stay with the organization with the cost of hiring from a particular source. The effectiveness of recruiting method varies among organizations and even jobs within the same organization.

CHAPTER SELECTION 3.1

3 PROCESS PROCESS

Selection is the process of choosing individuals who have the qualifications to perform a particular job well. Organization differs as to the complexity of their selection systems. Some organization's make a strategic decision to fill positions quickly and inexpensively by scanning application forms and hiring individuals based on this information alone. Other organization's however makes a strategic decision to choose the best person possible by having an elaborate

and sometimes costly selection system. These systems may require potential employees to fill out application forms and provide information for a background check, take a number of job related tests, and perform well through a series of interviews. Most organization's have more than 3.1.1 one Application Blanks selection and process. Resumes

The initial screening of potential employees is usually done by examining resumes and 1 or having applicants fill out an application blank. Items that should be requested on an application include general biographical information. Much of information gathered on application blanks is objective so that the human resources manager can verify it. Verification of information on an application is becoming increasingly important to avoid claims of negligent hiring. An employer is guilty of negligent hiring if he or she failed to perform a thorough background check on an employee Once the whose application infliction has been of verified, harm it can could be have been scored to predicted. make it numerically

comparable to others. The process of qualifying an application is called weighting an application. The use of a weighted application blank involves placing a value or score for the items on the application that have been found to predict successful job performance. Applicants receive points according to the information they report on the form and can then be ranked based on their the time and which TYPES cost of should total developing include OF an effective are often points. prohibitive. information. TESTS Although weighted applicants blanks have been found to be predictive of future performance, Resumes are often used instead of application blanks. Job applicants develop their own resumes, 3.2 essentially standard SELECTION

A number of selection tests have been developed to aid the human resources manager in hiring employees. The following section covers mental ability test, work sample tests, trainability tests, personality 3.2.1 and interest inventories Mental and honesty tests Ability as selection devices. Test

Paper and pencil tests have been developed by psychologists and are used by organization's to measure mental ability and aptitude. Ability and aptitude tests examine a variety of tests such as general intelligence, an understanding of spatial relationships, numerical skills, reasoning and comprehension. 3.2.2 Work Sample Also called performance tests, work sample tests measure the ability to do something rather than the ability to know something. These tests may measure motor skills or verbal skills. Work sample tests should test the important aspects of the job. Since job applicants are actually performing a small portion of the job, it is difficult to "fake" ones ability on these tests. One of the most effective ways to design work sample tests is by using the results of a job analysis, because the results of a job analysis indicate which tasks are most critical and which

are required for successful competition of the task. It is easy to determine which activities need to 3.2.3 For jobs The Changing in skills nature of which level the be represented Trainability training of job, is the trainability necessary job tests are due on the tests. Test to useful. applicants

Essentially the goal is to determine the trainability of the candidate. In the first step of the process, the trainer demonstrates how to perform a particular task. Then the job applicants are asked to perform the task while the trainer helps to coach him or her through the process several times. Finally the candidate monitors the performance, recording any errors, to determine predicting 3.2.4 Personality & the overall trainability job General Interest of the job applicant. performance. Inventories But work sample tests and trainability test have shown to have high to moderate success

Personality and general interest inventories are tests that have no "correct" or "incorrect" answers. Interest tests are used to measure an individual's work and career orientations. Personality tests focus on identifying traits or typical behaviours of individuals and are used to measure a variety of traits including aggression, self-esteem and type A behavior. Although personality and general interest inventories are tests that have no "correct" or "incorrect" answers. Interest tests are used to measure an individual's work and career orientations. Personality tests focus on identifying traits or typical behaviours of individuals and are used to measure a variety of traits including aggression, self-esteem and type -A behaviour. Although personality tests can be costly, they can help human resources manager determine individual characteristics to opt suitable candidate obtained from a resume, thus increasing the likelihood of finding a go "fit" between the job position and the employee. A serious criticism of personality inventories is their tendency to be invasive in that they seek to "uncover revealing data about a person's psyche. Companies that use this type of pre employment tests must therefore ensure that the information they seek and the way they use this information are relevant to the job in order to prevent lawsuits by rejected applicants. 3.3 INTERVIEW Most organization's, regardless of size, use interviewing as a selection method. Interestingly, interviews have been criticized for being unreliable sources of information due to perceptual and judgment errors on the part of the interviewer. Example interviewers often form a first impression of the job applicant based on the influence obtained on the application blank or the first behaviour of two the job minutes applicant overrides of all or most the other interview. characteristics. Another type of perceptual error is called the Halo effect. In this case, one characteristic or Contrast effects have also been found to distort interviewer judgments about job applicants. Contrast effects occur when the interviewer evaluates a job applicant by comparing this person

Other perceptual errors can distort an interviewers evaluation include stereotyping, leniency, Establishing a system for conducting an interview can improve the reliability and validity of Interviews can be classified into three general categories: structured, semi structured and Structured

When conducting a structured interview, the interviewer asks questions from a prepared list and does not deviate from it except for some follow up questions. During the interview, the interviewer records his or her thoughts and reactions on a standard organizational form. When different interviewer reaches the same or similar conclusion about a given candidate, the interpreter reliability is high. Unfortunately this type of interview is very restricted. Two most common types of structured interviews are the behavioural description interview and the situational interview. The behavioural description interview allows you to gather and evaluate information about what candidates have done in the past to predict how they will act in the future. A thorough job analysis of the job is done for which the interview is being developed. The specific KSAOs are uncovered, required by the job as well as appropriate and important behaviours performed by the job incumbents. Next questions will have to be designed which elicit the behaviours. The second type of structured interview is the situational interview. In this job experts develop questions that focus on situations that might arise in the actual job. It is conducted with a panel of interviewers, each of whom independently rate the applicants. This type of interview is kinder to the applicant because a past example does not have to be provided. 3.3.2 Semi-structured

Here only the major questions are prepared in advance and are recorded on a standardized form. This type of interview involves some planning on the part of the interviewer but allows for some flexibility regarding exactly what and how questions are asked. Although the inter rater reliability is not so high as with structured interview, the information obtained may be richer and possibly 3.3.3 more Unstructured relevant Interview

The unstructured interview involves little planning or no planning on the part of the interviewer. Due to lack of planning, the interviews tend to vary greatly between interviewers and also between interviewees. Unstructured interviews have low reliability and seldom yield valid and useful 3.4 MANAGERIAL SELECTION information. DEVICES

Selection devices for managers can differ from non-managerial employee selection. Assessment centers were developed to tap these numerous managerial skills by collecting work sample information. An assessment center is not a place but a process. In this process trained

Do you think the environmental factors have affected the recruitment & selection at Panipat

The interviewees are of the opinion that there is no effect of environment in recruitment & selection procedure at Panipat Refinery because Indian Oil is good paymaster. Hence, there is no problem in inducted quality force. Quality personnel are attracting towards Indian Oil since it has good infrastructure, environment, pay packets, fringe benefits etc.

CHAPTER CONCLUSIONS &

7 SUGGESTIONS

CONCLUSION: The responses received from employees were analyzed properly and it is concluded that the direct method of recruitment and selection is to meet suitable and gives the best results. However, it has also been opined that this method is time-consuming. Satisfaction level of employees is high about the present practice of recruitment & selection of Panipat Refinery and they want continuance of the same practice in future. It has been expressed that eligibility criteria are very rigid, but for such dispute-prone activity of recruitment & selection, rigidity of

norms

are

necessary.

The employees are of the view for good and healthy sign of Panipat Refinery can survive the future challenges by hiring of the multi skilled and career expected personnel through Stress Level and Psychometrics Test. But, they are of the opinion that it will be better if all the process of recruitment & selection, i.e., written test, trade test, & interview can be done on the same day. Most of the employees have responded that at Panipat Refinery selection should be through campus interview and Internet.

Therefore, based on the response received from the employees, we reach to the conclusions that the recruitment and selection practices of Panipat Refinery are quite satisfactory and effective in identifying & inducting quality workforce, yet the following suggestions, if implemented, can make the recruitment & selection process more effective at Panipat Refinery:

SUGGESTIONS: Implementation of the Presidential Directives is one of the bottlenecks in inducting quality workforce. Relaxation to SC/OBC/PH/EXSM though towards fulfillment of social obligations of a company, however, Psychometric is Test, not Stress a Level Test professional should be approach. introduced.

At times, we get applications of candidates having more than required qualification for some specified post, & we can't short list the candidate for that specified post because of laid down eligibility criteria, some relaxation should be made & such candidates having potential can be inducted Internal at mid of level employees such for as higher Grade post should VI be to VII.

selection

encouraged.

Recruitment & Selection through Internet is not the practice at IOCL, which should be introduced. Campus interviews should be introduced in order to get best candidates at minimum cost & time.

 One-day recruitment & selection criteria should be adopted to avoid political influence. Multi-skilled personnel should be recruited.

July Dear

2,

2003 Sir/Madam,

I am doing MBA course from Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi. As part of curriculum in the MBA course, I am presently carrying out a research work titled Effectiveness of Recruitment & Selection Practices at Panipat Refinery. As you are aware that the business and industry in India is going through a phase of change as never witnessed before. Given the size of national economy, the role of Public Enterprises and the emerging diversity & dynamism in the private sector; it is difficult to describe its accurate scope. A healthy national economy is dependent upon healthy growth in business and industry. This in turn, primarily depends upon the quality & potential of its Human Resources. Thus, the most important factor for survival and development of the Organisation, particularly in this age of rapid change and growth, is human capacity. Customer oriented, quality conscious, cost efficient and multi-skilled manpower will determine the core competency of modern organizations, for it is the man behind the machine and not the machine alone that will provide

the cutting edge. In this scenario the recruitment & selection practices should be obtained at minimum cost and maximum quality of employees so that the human resource requirement could be achieved. For carrying out the research, a questionnaire has been prepared to elicit your views concerning Effectiveness of Recruitment & Selection Practices at Panipat Refinery. I request you to kindly spare your valuable time and furnish your unbiased response to the enclosed questionnaire.
