Selection process
Selection is the process of examining the applicants with regard to their suitability for the
given job or jobs, and choosing the best candidate and rejecting the others.”
Good recruitment practices are only one key to generating a pool of top job candidates.
Equally important is having a strong basis from which to recruit. If an organization’s policies
and practices are unattractive to candidates, the organization’s ability to generate good
candidates will be limited regardless of the specific recruitment practices they employee.
Looking for a qualified person for the IT department is likely to require a broader and
possibly more expensive search. Recruitment indicate that there is an increase in the use of
the internet and interactive employment websites, such as searching web databases, placing
online ads at various career sites, of allowing a right candidate for the right job, at the right
time, at the right purchasing candidate information from resume services, sending recruitment
materials, to targeted individuals, and placing ads in newspapers can all yield positive results.
Selection is the process place to attain various goal and objectives of the organization for the
work.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Gender Issue: Gender issue also hampers effective selection in early days, men
predominantly held managerial jobs and if those jobs are viewed as being
primarily miscellaneous in nature, such stereotyping may produce negative
reaction in selecting right candidates.
SELECTION PROCESS
The various steps in the selection of desirable in the employment of the organization
should be finalized by the company. Selection procedure starts only after the application from
the prospective employees are received by the concern. These applications are scrutinized out
at each step and those who are found fit for the job are selected finally.
Reception
Company has to create favorable impression on the applicants. There should be
friendly and courteous behavior towards the applicants. Employment possibilities
must be presented honesty and clearly.
Screening Interview
Preliminary interview is generally planned by large organization to cut the costs of
selections by allowing only eligible candidate to get through the further stages of
selection. The purpose of this type of interview is to eliminate the unqualified or
unsuitable candidates. It should be quite brief just to have an idea of general
education, experience, training, appearance, personality, etc. of the candidate and to
obtain his salary requirement. If the applicants appear to have some chance of being
selected, he is given the application blank to fill in.

Application Blank
An application blank or application form is the next paramount device in the selection
procedure. The successful candidates in the preliminary interviews are supplied the
Application Blank to get a written record of the following information.
a) Identifying Information
b) Information regarding education
c) Information regarding experience
d) Expected Salaries and Allowances
e) Information regarding community Activities.
f) Other information (reference, extracurricular etc.)
Such information helps the management in screening the undesirable applicants and
in maintaining the record for the future. Form of the Application Blank may differ
from organization to organization.
Selection Test
A test is a standardized objective measure of a person’s behavior performance or
attitude. Tests are the important device used in the selection of the candidates. A test is
designed to measure such skills and abilities in a worker as are found by job analysis
to be essential for successful job performance.
Selection Interview
Perhaps this is the most important and difficult part of the selection process. The
purpose of the interview is to determine the suitability of the applicant for the job and
the job for the applicant. Interview must be conducted in friendly atmosphere and the
candidate must be made to feel at ease. Generally the question should be asked on the
basis of the job specification. Unwarranted questions should be avoided. A
verification of the information furnished by the candidate in application blank may be
made or additional information may be sought for the future record. The candidate
should be given a chance to ask questions to satisfy him regarding the history of the
concern, future prospects, salary offered and nature of the job.
Medical/ Physical Examination
In almost all the companies ‘vein in India, Medical Examination is a part of selection
for all suitable applicants. It is conducted after the final decision has been made to
select the candidate. This is very important because a person of poor health may
generally be absent or may spread it amongst the workers if a candidate successfully
overcomes all the parameters or tests given above, he would be declared selected. An
appointment letter will later be given to him mentioning the post for which he is
selected, etc.
Reference Check
Employments generally provide a column in the Application Blank for reference. If
the applicant crosses all the above parameters, an investigation may be made on the
reference supplied by the applicants regarding his past employment, education,
character, personnel reputation, etc.
Hiring Decision
On the basis of factual data and certain assumptions, a selector has to select a right
employee for the organization. The decision about employment is taken by the line
manager of the department where the job is available. By considering the information
available from the various steps as mentioned above, the line manager has to decide
whether or not the candidate should be appointed for the job.
Placement
When the candidate accepts the offer made to him by the personnel department and
reports for the work in the organization, he is placed on the job for which he is
selected. Such employee is kept on probation for certain duration and during the
probation period he is kept under observation. Steps covered in selection procedure
are not rigid. They may vary from organization or in the same organization from job
to job. The arrangement of steps may be reduced or some new steps may be added.

appropriate for a particular position. There are various kinds of employment tests taken by
various organizations stated below

at work.

likely to steal from an employer or otherwise act in a manner unacceptable to the

strokes, curves and flourishes in a person’s hand writing to assess the person’s
personality and emotional make up.

series of questions

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE & COMPANY PROFILE
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
The Information Technology & Information Technology Enabled Services (IT-ITeS) sector is
a field which is undergoing rapid evolution and is changing the shape of Indian business
standards. This sector includes software development, consultancies, software management,
online services and business process outsourcing (BPO).
In the 1990s, the industry started off with an export of nearly $100 million with
around 5,000 employees. Now it is an industry that thrives globally and India's IT exports are
now around $70 billion with 2.8 million employees working in this sector. The IT sector is
one of the top two industries in the country today.
India's IT industry is expected to grow at a rate of 12 - 14% during 2016 - 2017 as per
a report by India's software industry body National Association of Software and Services
Companies (NASSCOM.) This clearly shows that information technology is a sector which
will likely be one of the emerging markets in the days to come as India's economy requires
more hardware, software and other IT services. In a NASSCOM-McKinsey report, India's
position in the global offshore IT industry is based on five factors - abundant talent, creation
of urban infrastructure, operational excellence, conducive business environment and finally,
continued growth in the domestic IT sector.
IT industry is heavily influenced by factors like the global market and sustenance of
its rate of growth. The recession in the United States also impacted the IT community in India
negatively. This segment is promising and has vast potential, but there are concerns regarding
the demand-supply gap, which is widening. Some challenges which the industry is facing are
inadequate infrastructure, tax issues and limited preferential access for local firms. China and
Taiwan are examples of low cost destinations, and India needs to change its current tax
structure so that it can outdo competition from other countries.
One of the biggest benefits that the computer and IT industry provides in India is the
employment it can generate. Other benefits are export and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).
New markets have opened up in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and South and
South East Asia. India is now a major destination for IT outsourcing. There is no dearth of IT
job opportunities in India. In fact, India is expected to overtake the US to have the most
The top IT companies in India that offer job opportunities in this field are Tata Consultancy
Services (TCS), Wipro Technologies, Cognizant, Yahoo!, Google, Tech Mahindra, Infosys
Technologies, HP ,Capgemini, iGATE Patni, Accenture, L&T, EY, Convergys, MphasiS,
Genpact, HCL Technologies and Godrej Infotech. Cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, Noida,
Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bombay and Cochin are some of the places which have
developed into potential IT hubs of the country, thanks to the presence of these top IT
companies. These are now key players which contribute to the growth of the Indian economy
through telecommunication, software development, design, mobile commerce, e-commerce,
BPO and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO).
The IT industry is one which is not limited to software development alone. Technology can
be applied in libraries, hospitals, banks, shops, prisons, hotels, airports, train stations and
many other places through database management systems, or through custom-made software
as seen fit.
