EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced people to perform the
activities that have to be done. If current or potential job occupants can meet this
requirement, training is not important. When this not the case, it is necessary to raise the
skill levels and increase the versatility and adaptability of employees. It is being increasing
common for individual to change careers several times during their working lives. The
probability of any young person learning a job today and having those skills go basically
unchanged during the forty or so years if his career is extremely unlikely, may be even
impossible. In a rapid changing society employee training is not only an activity that is
desirable but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is to
maintain a viable and knowledgeable work force.
The entire project talks about the training and development. Here we have discussed what
would be the input of training if we ever go for and how can it be good to any organization
in reaping the benefits from the money invested in terms like (ROI) i.e. return on
investment. What are the ways we can identify the training need of any employee and how
to know what kind of training he can go for? Training being covered in different aspect
likes integrating it with organizational culture. The best and latest available trends in
training method, the benefits which we can derive out of it. How the evaluation should be
done and how effective is the training all together. Some of the companies practicing
training in unique manner a lesson for other to follow as to how to train and retain the best
resource in the world to reap the best out of it.

INTRODUCTION
We have chosen the term “art and science” as HRM is both the art of managing people by
recourse to creative and innovative approaches; it is a science as well because of the precision
and rigorous application of theory that is required.
"The prosperity, if not the survival of any business depends on the performance of its
managers of tomorrow." According to Peter F. Drucker.
Human Resource Management is the organizational function that deals with issues
related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management,
organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation,
communication, administration, and training.
HRM is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the
workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute
effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment
of the organization's goals and objectives.
5
Human Resource Management is moving away from traditional personnel,
administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is
now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee
programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves
strategic direction and HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value.
HRM is widening with every passing day. It covers but is not limited to HR planning,
hiring (recruitment and selection), training and development, payroll management,
rewards and recognitions, Industrial relations, grievance handling, legal procedures
etc. In other words, we can say that it’s about developing and managing harmonious
relationships at workplace and striking a balance between organizational goals and
individual goals.
6
Meeting growing manpower needs: The expansion or modernization programme may
be undertaken by the enterprise. Manpower planning is needed in order to forecast
and meet additional manpower requirement due to expansion and growth needs
through recruitment and suitable training programs.
Coping with change: HRP enables an enterprise to cope with changes in competitive
forces, markets, products, and technology and government regulations. Such changes
generate changes in job content, skill, number and type of personals.
Increasing investment in HR: An employee who picks up skills and abilities becomes
a valuable resource because an organisation makes investments in its manpower either
through direct training or job assignments.

HR Recruitment:
9
The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons / situations
Vacancies: due to promotions, transfers, retirement, termination, permanent
disability, death and labour turnover.
The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department and
recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and the strategic
advantage for the organisations. Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from
sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many
resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows:
10
A traditional role of HR in Recruitment was an administrative part of the whole process. The
HRM was responsible for maintaining the vacancies advertised and monitored, but the real
impact of HRM to the performance of the whole recruitment process was minimal.
But as the role of Human Resources in the business was increasing, the HR Strategy was
changed. From making the process working to the real management of HR Processes and the
Recruitment Process was the first to manage.
The role of HR in Recruitment is very important as HRM is the function to work on the
development of the recruitment process and to make the process very competitive on the
market. As the job market gets more and more competitive, the clearly defined HR Role in
Recruitment will be growing quickly. HRM is not a function to conduct all the interviews
today, the main role of Human Resources is to make the recruitment process more attractive
and competitive on the job market.
Scope of HR Recruitment:

Senior Management cadres.
A recruitment agency provides you with career counseling which renders a crystal
clear picture of what are the possible career options out there for you and which job
option suits you the best.
Objective of HR

the organization to achieve its goals and objectives.
Recruitment helps to create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so
that the management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool.
Recruitment acts as a link between the employers and the job seekers and ensures the
placement of right candidate at the right place at the right time.
11
Recruitment serves as the first step in fulfilling the needs of organizations for a
competitive, motivated and flexible human resource that can help achieve its
objectives.
The recruitment process exists as the organization hire new people, who are aligned
with the expectations and they can fit into the organization quickly.

HR Challenges in Recruitment
Recruitment is a function that requires business perspective, expertise, ability to find and
match the best potential candidate for the organisation, diplomacy, marketing skills (as to sell
the position to the candidate) and wisdom to align the recruitment processes for the benefit of
the organisation. The HR professionals – handling the recruitment function of the
organisation- are constantly facing new challenges. The biggest challenge for such
professionals is to source or recruit the best people or potential candidate for the organisation.
16
In the last few years, the job market has undergone some fundamental changes in terms of
technologies, sources of recruitment, competition in the market etc. In an already saturated
job market, where the practices like poaching and raiding are gaining momentum, HR
professionals are constantly facing new challenges in one of their most important function-
recruitment. They have to face and conquer various challenges to find the best candidates for
their organisations.
The major challenges faced by the HR in recruitment are:
Adaptability to globalization – The HR professionals are expected and required to
keep in tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes taking place across the globe.
HR should maintain the timeliness of the process
Process analysis – The immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main
concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be flexible, adaptive and
responsive to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be
cost effective.
17
It assumes that the applicants are rational. As per this theory, the choice of organization by a
potential employee depends on objective assessment of tangible factors such as;
Pay package, Location, Opportunity per career growth, Nature of work and Educational
opportunities. The employer according to this theory considers certain factors among others;
educational qualification, years of experience and special qualification/experience.
The critical factors observed by the candidate during his interaction with the organization
play a vital role in decision making. Recruiter being in touch with the candidate, promptness
of response and similar factors are important. This theory is more valid with the experienced
professionals.
There are instances when a candidate is unable to choose an organization out of alternative
based on Objective and Subjective factor(s) listed above. This is due to many reasons such
as limited contact and insufficient data with regards to the organization or its own inability
to analyze and come to ant conclusion. In such cases, certain critical factors observed by the
manager during interview and contact with personnel of the organization will have profound
influence in his decision process.
It must be noted that, the theoretical base given above by Behling et al was mostly
influenced by the working condition which existed in developed countries like The United
States of America and European countries. In these countries, vacancies are many and there
is scarcity of suitable hands unlike in developing countries like Cameroon where vacancies
are less and hands are more resulting to large scarce unemployment. The theoretical base
given above cannot be applied in developing countries except in hid paid jobs where higher
skills and better knowledge are the prerequisites. In such cases, candidates have variety of
18
choices and he is the BACHELOR of his choice. In production, servicing and clerical jobs,
unemployment is where the number of job seekers far exceeds the vacancies.
In such a situation, candidates have little choice and such, grab whatever organization call
him or her for employment. In such a case, the potential organization is in a better place to
choose the candidates from the many available.
Hence, the recruitment process should be that of filtering and re-distributing potential
candidates not only, for actual or anticipated organization vacancies but also searching for
prospective employee.
From Behling’s review, it could be assessed that workers output will increase due to certain
objectives of motivating them through regular payment. This will help to influence their
working conditions thereby making them to be effective at work.
Problems arise when unemployment rate is high and the number of those seeking for jobs far
exceeds the vacancies that exist. In this case, candidates have little choice to be offered the
job in the institution. Though they possess the knowledge, education, the process should be
to filter and re-discover their potentials.
When this happens, right (qualified) employees should be placed in the right positions and
as a result, it will lead to an increase in productivity.
Due to the subjective factor of a candidate being best fit for the job, it is not the best
procedure to determine whether his output will increase or decrease but it should be assessed
from the critical factor observed during interview and the contact with the personnel of the
organization that will influence his productivity and his decision making.
The personality–job fit theory postulates that a person's personality traits will reveal insight
as to adaptability within an organization. The degree of confluence between a person and the
organization is expressed as their Person-Organization (P-O) fit. This also referred to as a
person–environment fit. A common measure of the P-O fit is workplace efficacy; the rate at
which workers are able to complete tasks. These tasks are mitigated by workplace environs-
for example, a worker who works more efficiently as an individual than in a team will have
a higher P-O fit for a workplace that stresses individual tasks (such as accountancy). By
19
matching the right personality with the right company workers can achieve a better synergy
and avoid pitfalls such as high turnover and low job satisfaction. Employees are more likely
to stay committed to organisations if the fit is 'good'.
In practice, P-O fit would be used to gauge integration with organizational competencies.
The Individual is assessed on these competencies, which reveals efficacy, motivation,
influence, and co-worker respect. Competencies can be assessed using various tools like
psychological tests, competency based interview, situational analysis, etc.
SELECTION
Selection is the process of choosing the best out of the available candidates. It adopts the
process through which more candidates are rejected and fewer candidates selected therefore it
is also called negative process.
In other words, it is the process of picking individuals with requisites qualifications and
competence to fill jobs in the organization.
DEFINITION OF SELECTION
It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify those with a greater
likelihood of success in a job.
The techniques used are highly specialized. And the outcome of selection process is in the
form of finalizing candidates who will be offered job.

THE SCOPE OF FUTURE IMPROVEMENT
The future of recruitment and selection is poised for significant evolution, driven by
advancements in technology, changes in workforce dynamics, and evolving organizational
needs. Here are some key areas where improvement is expected:
1. AI and Automation:
o Enhanced Screening: AI-powered tools can analyze resumes, match
qualifications with job descriptions, and identify the best candidates more
efficiently. Machine learning algorithms can also predict candidate success
based on historical data.
o Chatbots for Initial Engagement: Automated chatbots can handle initial
candidate interactions, answer frequently asked questions, and schedule
interviews, streamlining the process.
2. Data-Driven Insights:
o Predictive Analytics: Utilizing big data to forecast hiring needs, employee
turnover, and the effectiveness of different recruitment strategies can help in
making more informed decisions.
o Employee Analytics: Analyzing the performance and career progression of
current employees can provide insights into the characteristics of successful
hires.
3. Diversity and Inclusion:
o Bias Reduction: Tools and algorithms designed to minimize unconscious bias
in job descriptions, screening processes, and interviews can help create a more
diverse and inclusive workforce.
o Enhanced Outreach: Targeted recruitment strategies and platforms can help
reach underrepresented groups and ensure a more diverse pool of candidates.
4. Candidate Experience:
o Personalized Interactions: Tailoring the recruitment experience to individual
candidates through personalized communication and feedback can improve
engagement and satisfaction.
57
o Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): These technologies can
provide immersive job previews and virtual office tours, helping candidates
better understand the work environment and role.
5. Skill-Based Hiring:
o Competency Assessments: Moving beyond traditional qualifications to assess
candidates based on their actual skills and competencies through practical tests
or simulations can lead to better job fit.
o Continuous Learning: Recognizing and valuing continuous learning and
upskilling can help in identifying candidates who are adaptable and eager to
grow.
6. Remote and Hybrid Work Considerations:
o Global Talent Pools: With the rise of remote work, organizations can tap into
a global talent pool, requiring new strategies for managing and integrating
remote teams.
o Virtual Onboarding: Developing effective virtual onboarding processes can
ensure that remote hires are successfully integrated into the company culture
and operations.
7. Blockchain and Secure Data:
o Credential Verification: Blockchain technology can be used for verifying
educational qualifications, work history, and other credentials, ensuring
authenticity and reducing fraud.
o Data Privacy: Enhanced data security measures will be crucial as recruitment
processes increasingly rely on digital data.
8. Gamification:
o Engaging Assessments: Incorporating game-like elements into the
recruitment process can make assessments more engaging and provide insights
into candidates' problem-solving skills and personality traits.
