INTRODUCTION Crompton Greaves (CG) is part of the US$ 4 bn Avantha Group, a conglomerate with an impressive global footprint, operating in over 10 countries. Since its inception, CG has been synonymous with electricity. In 1875, a Crompton 'dynamo' powered the world's very first electricity-lit house in Colchester, Essex, U.K. CG's India operations were established in 1937, and since then the company has retained its leadership position in the management and application of electrical energy. Today, Crompton Greaves is India's largest private sector enterprise. It has diversified extensively and is engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing technologically advanced electrical products and services related to power generation, transmission and distribution, besides executing turnkey projects. The company is customercentric in its focus and is the single largest source for a wide variety of electrical equipments and products. With several international acquisitions, Crompton Greaves is fast emerging as a first choice global supplier for high quality electrical equipment.

HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION & ITS OBJECTIVES

History of the organization & its objectives

History The history of Crompton Greaves goes back to 1878 when Col. R.E.B. Crompton founded R.E.B. Crompton & Company. The company merged with F.A Parkinson in the year 1927 to form Crompton Parkinson Ltd., (CPL). Greaves Cotton and Co (GCC) was appointed as their concessionaire in India. In 1937, CPL established, it's wholly owned Indian subsidiary viz. Crompton Parkinson Works Ltd., in Bombay, along with a sales organization, Greaves Cotton & Crompton Parkinson Ltd., in collaboration with GCC. In the year 1947, with the dawn of Indian independence, the company was taken over by Lala Karamchand Thapar, an eminent Indian industrialist. Crompton Greaves is headquartered in a self-owned landmark building at Worli, Mumbai. Products & Services Offered The company is organized into three business groups viz. Power Systems, Industrial Systems, Consumer Products. Nearly, two-thirds of it's turnover accrues from products lines in which it enjoys a leadership position. Presently, the company is offering wide range of products such as power & industrial transformers, HT circuit breakers, LT & HT motors, DC motors, traction motors, alternators/ generators, railway signaling equipments, lighting products, fans, pumps and public switching, transmission and access products. In addition to offering broad range of products, the company undertakes turnkey projects from concept to commissioning. Apart from this, CG exports it's products to more than 60 countries worldwide, which includes the emerging South-East Asian and Latin American markets . Thus, the company addresses all the segments of the power industry from complex industrial solutions to basic household requirements. The fans and lighting businesses acquired "Super brand" status in January 2004. It is a unique recognition amongst the country's 134 selected brands by "Super brands", UK. Manufacturing , Marketing & Servicing Network CG's business operations consist of 22 manufacturing divisions spread across in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, supported by well knitted marketing and service network through 14 branches in various states under overall management of four regional sales offices located in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The company has a large customer

base, which includes State Electricity Boards, Government bodies and large companies in private and public sectors. Future Outlook The quality of households is enhanced when their money is invested into products such as fans and lighting for basic comforts. Their lives are literally touched by delight. Similarly, Crompton helps electricity boards and other utilities to reach electricity to the last home and factory. Therefore, every individual in India who uses electricity can be considered as Crompton customer. Hence, the company continues to further and consolidate the initiatives that Colonel Crompton set into motion by focusing on meeting increasing customer demands for products that are eco-friendly, energy efficient and with intelligent monitoring and control systems. All economic indicators point towards the manufacturing sector being the future driver of India's economic growth. India is today preferred destination for sourcing various engineering goods not only due to low cost but also due to high quality of products. Although, the climate for the manufacturing sector is bright, the concern is the threat of imminent competition from global players who are already in the process of setting up manufacturing facilities in India. The market is expected to remain competition with an added element of competition from imported products.

HUMAN RESOURCES
Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who comprise the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors or even whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to the initials 'HR'. Human resources is a relatively modern management term, coined in the 1960. The origins of the function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare management' practices and also in those that adopted the principles of 'scientific management'. From these terms emerged a largely administrative management activity, co-ordination a range of worker related processes and becoming known, in time as the 'personnel function'. Human resources progressively became the more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the United States as well as multinational corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative as well as strategic approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management and the greater competitiveness for limited and highly skilled workers.

FUNCTIONS:
Human Resources may set strategies and develop policies, standards, systems, and processes that implement these strategies in a whole range of areas. The following are typical of a wide range of organizations:
Recruitment, selection, and onboarding (resourcing) Organizational design and development Business transformation and change management Performance, conduct and behavior management Industrial and employee relations

Human resources (workforce) analysis and workforce personnel data management Compensation, rewards, and benefits management Training and development (learning management)

Implementation of such policies, processes or standards may be directly managed by the HR function itself, or the function may indirectly supervise the implementation of such activities by managers, other business functions or via third-party external partner organizations. Crompton Greaves has a large customer base, consisting of State Electricity Boards, Utility companies, Railways, Government & local bodies and large companies in public as well as private sectors. Thus, it addresses customers from all the segments from households to complex industrial sectors through its comprehensive range of products and services. Some of our prestigious customers include:

ORGANIZATIONAL HEIRARCHY OF CROMPTON GREAVES

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Recruitment is hiring of employees from outside. Recruitment has been regarded as the most important function of the HR department , because unless the right type of people are hired, even the best plans, organization chart and control system would not do much good. Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicant for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies. Accordingly the purpose of recruitment is to locate sources of manpower to meet the job requirements and job specification. It is defined as a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of staffing schedule and to apply effective measures for attracting the manpower to adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce Yoder points out that recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employee effective measures to attracting that manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce. Edwin B Flippo defines recruitment as the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization. It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their application are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. Methods of Recruitment Dunn and Stephens summaries the possible recruiting methods into three categories, namely 1: Direct method 2: Indirect method 3: Third party method

Direct Method

The direct method includes sending of the recruiters to different educational and professional institutions, employees contact with public, and mannered exhibits. One of the widely used methods is sending the recruiters to different colleges and technical schools. This is mainly done with the cooperation of the placement office of the college. Sometimes, firms directly solicit information form the concerned professors about student with an outstanding records. Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go the desired centers. Indirect Method Indirect method involves mainly advertising in newspapers, on the radios, in trade and professional journals, technical magazines and brochures. Advertisements in newspapers and or trade journals and magazines are the most frequently used methods. Senior post is largely filled with such methods. Advertising is a very useful for recruiting blue color and hourly worker, as well as scientific, professional, and technical employees. Local newspaper can be good sources of blue collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level administrative employees.

The main point is that the higher the position in the organization the more dispersed advertisement is likely to be. The search for the top executive might include advertisement in a national periodical, whereas the advertisement of the blue color jobs usually confine to the daily newspaper. According to the Advertisement tactic and strategy in personnel Recruitment , three main points need to be borne in the mind before an advertisement in inserted. First, to visualize the type of applicants one is trying to recruit. Second, to write out a list of advantages the company offers, or why should the reader join the company.

Third, to decide where to run the advertisement , not only in which area, but also in which newspaper having a local, state or a nation- wide circulation. Third Party These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies, and placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations recruiting firms, management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, and friends and relatives. Private employment agencies are the most widely used sources. They charge a small fee from the applicant. They specialize in specific occupation; general office help, salesmen, technical workers, accountant, computer staff, engineers and executives. State or public employment agencies are also known as the employment or labour exchanges, are the main agencies for the public employment. Employers inform them of their personnel requirement, while job seekers get information for them about the type of job are referred by the employer. Schools and colleges offer opportunities for recruiting their student. They operate placement services where complete biodata and other particular of the student are available. Professional organization or recruiting firms maintain complete information records about employed executive. These firms maintain complete information records about employed executives. These firms are looked upon as the head hunters raiders", and pirates by organization which loose their personnel through their efforts. Evaluation of the Recruitment method The following are the evaluation of the recruitment method Number of initial enquires received which resulted in completed application forms Number of candidates recruited. Number of candidates retained in the organization after six months. Number of candidates at various stages of the recruitment and selection process, especially those short listed.

Objective of Recruitment To attract with multi dimensional skills and experience that suite the present and future organization strategies. To induct outsider with new perspective to lead the company. To infuse fresh blood at all levels of organization. To develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the company. To search or headhunt people whose skill fit the company values. To seek out non-conventional development grounds of talent To devise methodology for assessing psychological traits. To search for talent globally not just with in the company. To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum. To anticipate and find people for position that doesn't exists yet.

Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals come to know about the company and eventually decide whether they wish to work for it. The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about the job so that applicant can make comparison with their qualification and interest. Factors affecting Recruitment There are two types of factors that affect the Recruitment of candidates for the company. 1: Internal factors: These includes - Company pay package - Quality of work life - Organizational culture - Company size - Company product - Growth rate of the company - Role of trade unions - Cost of recruitment

2: External factors: These include - Supply and demand factors - Employment rate - Labour market condition - Political, legal and government factors - Information system Factors to be undertaken while formulating recruitment policies The following factors should be undertaken while formulating the policies - Government polices - Recruitment sources - Recruitment needs - Recruitment cost - Organizational and personal policies Theories Regarding Recruitment Recruitment is two way street: it takes a recruiter has a choice whom to recruit, same way the prospective employee also has taken the decision whether or not to apply for the given job vacancy. The individual take the decision usually on three different basic: 1: The objective factors 2: The critical contact 3: The subjective factor The objectives theory views that the process of organizational choice as being one of weighing and evaluating set of measurable characteristic of employment offers, such pay, benefits , location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of job to performed, and education opportunities. Whereas, the critical contact theory suggests that the typical candidates is unable to make a meaningful differentiation of organization offers in terms of objective or subjective factors, because of his limited or very short contact with the organization. Choice can be made only when applicant can readily perceive the factors such as the behavior of the recruiters, the nature

of the physical facilities, and such as the efficiency in processing paper work association with the application. On the other hand, the subjective theory emphasizes the congruence. Here the choices are made on highly personal and emotional basis. Recruitment Process The actual steps involved in recruitment follow a well defined path: Application shortlist: In this step, we shortlist the resume received from various sources based on the suitability for the requirement. Preliminary Assessment: The short listed candidates go through a preliminary round of interviews. This interview lays more emphasis on functional competencies. To have more data on the functional skills, the candidates may be given a business case for analysis and presentation (This is done for certain positions only). Final interview: Here the candidates who successfully clear the first round of interview go through another round of interview with one or more of the functional heads. Medical Evaluation: Candidates who are selected by Colgate are asked to undergo a medical test.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW:

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
Dunn and Stephens summaries the possible recruiting methods into three categories, namely 1: Direct method 2: Indirect method 3: Third party method

1. DIRECT METHOD
The direct method includes sending of the recruiters to different educational and professional institutions, employees contact with public, and mannered exhibits. One of the widely used methods is sending the recruiters to different colleges and technical schools. This is mainly done with the cooperation of the placement office of the college. Sometimes, firms directly solicit information form the concerned professors about student with an outstanding records.

3. THRID PARTY
These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies, and placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations recruiting firms, management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, and friends and relatives.

Private employment agencies are the most widely used sources. They charge a small fee from the applicant.

Medical Evaluation: Candidates who are selected by Colgate are asked to undergo a medical test.

SELECTION

Selection is a negative process and involves the elimination of candidates who do not have the required skills and qualification for the job proposed. Also it is a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify and hire those with grater likelihood of success in job. The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. It is the system of function and devise adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidates specifications are matched with the job specifications and recruitment or not. Selection process or activities typically follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial screening interview and concluding with final employment decision. The traditional selection process includes: preliminary screening interview, completion of application form, employment test, comprehensive interview, background investigation, physical examination and final employment decision to hire. But now selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This type of arrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages:

- It is easier for the application because they can send their applications to a single centralized department. - It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can be cleared through one central location. - It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities. This is especially helpful during the chief hiring period. - It can provide for better selection because hiring is done by specialist trained in staffing techniques.

- The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs. - Hiring cost is cut because duplication of efforts is reduced. - With increased governmental regulation on selection process, it is important that people who know about these rules handle a major part of the selection process.
Ideally, a selection process involves mutually decision making. The organization decides whether or not to make a job offer and how attractive the job offer should be.

ESSENTIAL OF SELECTION PROCEDURE:

- Someone should have the authority to select.

- There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of employees to be selected. - There must be some standards of personnel with which a prospective employee may be compared.

FACTORS EFFECTING SELECTION DECISION:

Includes: - Profile matching - Organization and social environment - Multi correlations
- Successive hurdles

Evaluation of recruitment process

The following are the evaluation of the recruitment process: 1: Return rate of application sent out. 2: Number of suitable candidates for selection. 3: Retention and performance of the candidate selection. 4: Cost of recruitment 5: Time lapsed data. 6: Comments on image projected. Philosophies Of Recruitment Basically there are two Philosophies of recruitment. These are as follows: 1: REALISTIC JOB PREVIEWS (RJP) Realistic Job Previews provides complete job related information to the applicants so that they can make the right decision before taking up the jobs. It includes positive and the negative aspects of the job. 2: JOB COMPATIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE: (JCQ) Job compatibility Questionnaire was developed to determine whether an applicant preference for the work match the characteristic of the job. The JCQ is designed to collect information on all aspects of the job which have a bearing in on employee performance .absenteeism, turnover and job satisfaction. The underlying assumption of JCQ is that, greater the compatibility between an applicant preference for the job and characteristic of the job as perceived by the job seeker, the greater the probability of employee effectiveness and longer the tenure.

Selection

Selection is a negative process and involves the elimination of candidates who do not have the required skills and qualification for the job proposed. Also it is a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify and hire those with greater likelihood of success in job. The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. It is the system of function and devise adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidate specifications are matched with the job specifications and recruitment or not. Selection process or activities typically follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial screening interview and concluding with final employment decision. The traditional selection process includes: preliminary screening interview, completion of application form, employment test, comprehensive interview, background investigation, physical examination and final employment decision to hire. Organization for selection Until recently the basic hiring process was performed in a rather unplanned manner in many organizations. In some companies, each department screened and hired its own employees. Many mangers insisted on screening their own employees as they thought no one else could do that as efficiently as they themselves.

But now selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This type of arrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages: - It is easier for the application because they can send their applications to a single centralized department. - It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can be cleared through one central location. - It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities. This is especially helpful during the chief hiring period. - It can provide for better selection because hiring is done by specialist trained in staffing techniques. - The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs. - Hiring cost is cut because duplication of efforts is reduced. - With increased governmental regulation on selection process, it is important that people who know about these rules handle a major part of the selection process. Ideally, a selection process involves mutually decision making. The organization decides whether or not to make a job offer and how attractive the job offer should be.

Barriers To Effective Selection The main objective of selection process is to hire people having competence and commitment towards the given job profile. But due to some reason the main purpose of effectively selecting candidates is defeated. These reasons are: 1: Perception or the Halo effect: Many a times the interviewer selects a candidate according to the perception he has or he made up while talking or looking at the individual. This way he does not see through the caliber or the efficiency of the individual and many times it leads to the selection of the wrong candidates. 2: Fairness: During the selection process the interviewer does not select the individual on the basis of his knowledge and hence the right type of the candidates is not selected. 3: Pressure: The people from the HR department and also have a lot of pressure from the top management and from other top class people for selecting the candidates they want. This ways the purpose of effective selection process of effective selection process is defeated as they have to select that individual whether or not he is capable of the job. that is being offered. ESSENTIAL OF SELECTION PROCEDURE - Someone should have the authority to select. - There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of employees to be selected. - There must be some standards of personnel with which a prospective employee may be compared.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION This presents the summary of the study and survey done in relation to the Recruitment and Selection in CROMPTON GREAVES. The conclusion is drawn from the study and survey of the company regarding the Recruitment and Selection process carried out there. The recruitment process at CROMPTON GREAVES to some extent is not done objectively and therefore lot of bias hampers the future of the employees. That is why the search or headhunt of people should be of those whose skill fits into the company values. Most of the employees were satisfied but changes are required according to the changing scenario as recruitment process has a great impact on the working of the company as a fresh blood, new idea enters in the company. Selection process is good but it should also be modified according to the requirements and should job profile so that main objective of selecting the candidate could be achieved.

SUGGESION

SUGGESION Manpower requirement for each department in the company is identified well in advance. If the manpower requirement is high and the recruitment team of the HR department alone cannot satisfy it, then help from the placement agencies is needed. Time management is very essential and it should not be ignored at any level of the process.. The recruitment and selection through placement agencies as the last resort and is utilized only when need. The recruitment and selection procedure should not to lengthy and time consuming. The candidates called for interview should be allotted timings and it should not overlap with each other.
