Executive Summary Recruitment is not a magical process of having people sign up, but is one of the most critical aspects of operating your program.

Recruitment should be a strategic process that connects candidates who need what you have to offer and who possess the skills and aptitude to accomplish your goal and objectives.

The recruitment unit is dedicated to recruiting the qualified candidates for appointment. This process includes administering all testing phases from the written examination up until applicants are appointed. The recruitment process should ensure fairness and consistency throughout the entire process. It should be administered in such a way that only those applicants who meet various job related standards are offered positions of appointment. The recruitment units should actively recruit and participate in event that will foster a diverse applicant pool. Recruiting from a pool of targeted leads can decrease member attrition.

The objective of my study was to understand the recruitment practices. In this report, I have tried to include all the issues related to recruitment process which I could gather after reading various articles on Human Resource.

Introduction This is an internship report. Masters in Management Studies (MMS) course requires a two months attachment with an organization followed by a report assigned by the supervisor in the organization and endorsed by the faculty advisor .i took the opportunity to do my internship in Escon Elevators which is one of the leading Elevator service provider in India Under the proper guidance of on site supervisor Rishita D’souza, I have conducted my study on Recruitment and selection process in Escon. My faculty supervisor Prof. Saher Kapdi also approved the topic and authorized me to prepare this report as part of the fulfillment of internship requirement and gave me proper guidance and assistance over time. There no doubt that the world of work is rapidly changing. As a part of an organization then, HRM must be equipped to deal with the effects of the changing world of work. For them this means understanding the implications of globalization, technology changes, workforce diversity. Changing skill requirements, continuous improvement initiatives contingent workforce decentralize work sites and employee involvement are the issue for confront. Now it is a big challenge for the HRM to support the organization by providing the best personnel for the suitable position. time. Starting with recognizing the vacancies and planning for them is great task. Moreover selecting attracting the suitable candidates and selecting the best person in time is challenge. The cost of recruitment is significant. So, proper planning and formulate those plan is the task that requires more focus and improvement. Equal opportunity and sourcing is also a vital part. Realizing this need we tried to find the difference and similarities between theoretical aspects with the practical steps taken by the company. We took an attempt to demonstrate the feature for the further improvement.

Industry Profile Elevators Elevators are devices that move people and goods vertically within a dedicated shaft that connects the floors of a building. They became commonplace in the 1850s as steel and iron structural frames allowed taller construction; In almost all modern multi-floor buildings, elevators are required to provide universal access.

There are three main types of elevators commonly used, which are given as follows:

1) Hydraulic Elevator 2) Traction Elevator 3) MRL (Machine Room Less) Elevator

1) Hydraulic Elevator

Hydraulic elevators are supported by a piston at the bottom of the elevator that pushes the elevator up as an electric motor forces oil or another hydraulic fluid into the piston. The elevator descends as a valve releases the fluid from the piston. They are used for low-rise applications of 2-8 stories and travel at a maximum speed of 200 feet per minute. The machine room for hydraulic elevators is located at the lowest level adjacent to the elevator shaft.

10

2) Traction Elevator

Traction elevators are lifted by ropes, which pass over a wheel attached to an electric motor above the elevator shaft. They are used for mid and high-rise applications and have much higher travel speeds than hydraulic elevators. A counter weight makes the elevators more efficient by offsetting the weight of the car and occupants so that the motor doesn't have to move as much weight

1) Machine-Room-Less Elevator

Machine-Room-Less Elevators are traction elevators that do not have a dedicated machine room above the elevator shaft. The machine sits in the override space and is accessed from the top of the elevator cab when maintenance or repairs are required. The control boxes are located in a control room that is adjacent to the elevator shaft on the highest landing and within around 150 feet of the machine.

11

Elevator modernization

Most elevators are built to provide about 20 years of service, as long as service intervals specified and periodic maintenance/inspections by the manufacturer are followed. As the elevator ages and equipment become increasingly difficult to find or replace, along with code changes and deteriorating ride performance, a complete overhaul of the elevator may be suggested to the building owners.

A typical modernization consists of controller equipment, electrical wiring and buttons, position indicators and direction arrows, hoist machines and motors (including door operators), and sometimes door hanger tracks. Rarely are car slings, rails, or other heavy structures changed. The cost of an elevator modernization can range greatly depending on which type of equipment is to be installed.

Modernization can greatly improve operational reliability by replacing mechanical relays and contacts with solid-state electronics. Ride quality can be improved by replacing motor-generatorbased drive designs with Variable-Voltage; Variable Frequency (V3F) drives, providing nearseamless acceleration and deceleration. Passenger safety is also improved by updating systems and equipment to conform to current codes.

12

Elevator safety

Cable-borne elevators

Statistically speaking, cable-borne elevators are extremely safe. Their safety record is unsurpassed by any other vehicle system. In 1998, it was estimated that approximately eight millionths of one percent (1 in 12 million) of elevator rides result in an anomaly, and the vast majority of these were minor things such as the doors failing to open. Of the 20 to 30 elevatorrelated deaths each year, most of them are maintenance-related — for example, technicians leaning too far into the shaft or getting caught between moving parts, and most of the rest are attributed to other kinds of accidents, such as people stepping blindly through doors that open into empty shafts or being strangled by scarves caught in the doors. In fact, prior to the September 11th terrorist attacks, the only known free-fall incident in a modern cable-borne elevator happened in 1945 when a B-25 bomber struck the Empire State Building in fog, severing the cables of an elevator cab, which fell from the 75th floor all the way to the bottom of the building, seriously injuring (though not killing) the sole occupant — the elevator operator. However, there was an incident in 2007 at a Seattle children's hospital, where a ThyssenKrupp ISIS machine-room-less elevator free-fell until the safety brakes were engaged. This was due to a flaw in the design where the cables were connected at one common point, and the Kevlar ropes had a tendency to overheat and cause slipping (or, in this case, a free-fall). While it is possible (though extraordinarily unlikely) for an elevator's cable to snap, all elevators in the modern era have been fitted with several safety devices which prevent the elevator from simply free-falling and crashing. An elevator cab is typically borne by 2 to 6 (up to 12 or more in high rise

13

installations) hoist cables or belts, each of which is capable on its own of supporting the full load of the elevator plus twenty-five percent more weight. In addition, there is a device which detects whether the elevator is descending faster than its maximum designed speed; if this happens; the device causes copper (or silicon nitride in high rise installations) brake shoes to clamp down along the vertical rails in the shaft, stopping the elevator quickly, but not so abruptly as to cause injury. This device is called the governor, and was invented by Elisha Graves Otis. In addition, an oil/hydraulic or spring or polyurethane or telescopic oil/hydraulic buffer or a combination (depending on the travel height and travel speed) is installed at the bottom of the shaft (or in the bottom of the cab and sometimes also in the top of the cab or shaft) to somewhat cushion any impact. However, In Thailand, in November 2012, a woman was killed in free falling elevator, in what was reported as the "first legally recognized death caused by a falling lift".

Hydraulic elevators

Past problems with hydraulic elevators include underground electrolytic destruction of the cylinder and bulkhead, pipe failures, and control failures. Single bulkhead cylinders, typically built prior to a 1972 ASME A17.1 Elevator Safety Code change requiring a second dished bulkhead, were subject to possible catastrophic failure. The code previously permitted only single-bottom hydraulic cylinders. In the event of a cylinder breach, the fluid loss results in uncontrolled down movement of the elevator. This creates two significant hazards: being subject to an impact at the bottom when the elevator stops suddenly and being in the entrance for a potential shear if the rider is partly in the elevator. Because it is impossible to verify the system at all times, the code requires periodic testing of the pressure capability. Another solution to protect against a cylinder blowout is to install a plunger gripping device. Two commercially

14

available are known by the marketing names "Lifejacket" and "Hydro Brake". The plunger gripper is a device which, in the event of an uncontrolled downward acceleration, nondestructively grips the plunger and stops the car. A device known as an over speed or rupture valve is attached to the hydraulic inlet/outlet of the cylinder and is adjusted for a maximum flow rate. If a pipe or hose were to break (rupture), the flow rate of the rupture valve will surpass a set limit and mechanically stop the outlet flow of hydraulic fluid, thus stopping the plunger and the car in the down direction.

In addition to the safety concerns for older hydraulic elevators, there is risk of leaking hydraulic oil into the aquifer and causing potential environmental contamination. This has led to the introduction of PVC liners (casings) around hydraulic cylinders which can be monitored for integrity.

In the past decade, recent innovations in inverted hydraulic jacks have eliminated the costly process of drilling the ground to install a borehole jack. This also eliminates the threat of corrosion to the system and increases safety.

Mine-shaft elevators

Safety testing of mine shaft elevator rails is routinely undertaken. The method involves destructive testing of a segment of the cable. The ends of the segment are frayed, then set in conical zinc molds. Each end of the segment is then secured in a large, hydraulic stretching machine. The segment is then placed under increasing load to the point of failure.

15

Uses of elevators Passenger service

A passenger elevator is designed to move people between a building's floors. Passenger elevators capacity is related to the available floor space. Generally passenger elevators are available in capacities from 500 to 2,700 kg (1,000–6,000 lb) in 230 kg (500 lb) increments. Generally passenger elevators in buildings of eight floors or fewer are hydraulic or electric, which can reach speeds up to 1 m/s (200 ft/min) hydraulic and up to 152 m/min (500 ft/min) electric. In buildings up to ten floors, electric and gearless elevators are likely to have speeds up to 3 m/s (500 ft/min), and above ten floors speeds range 3 to 10 m/s (500–2,000 ft/min). Sometimes passenger elevators are used as a city transport along with funiculars. For example, there is a 3station underground public elevator in Yalta, Ukraine, which takes passengers from the top of a hill above the Black Sea on which hotels are perched, to a tunnel located on the beach below. At Casco Viejo station in the Bilbao Metro, the elevator that provides access to the station from a hilltop neighborhood doubles as city transportation: the station's ticket barriers are set up in such a way that passengers can pay to reach the elevator from the entrance in the lower city, or vice versa. See also the Elevators for urban transport section.

Types of passenger elevators

The former World Trade Center's twin towers used sky lobbies, located on the 44th and 78th floors of each tower

16

Passenger elevators may be specialized for the service they perform, including: hospital emergency (code blue), front and rear entrances, a television in high-rise buildings, double Decker, and other uses. Cars may be ornate in their interior appearance, may have audio visual advertising, and may be provided with specialized recorded voice announcements. Elevators may also have loudspeakers in them to play calm, easy listening music. Such music is often referred to as elevator music.

An express elevator does not serve all floors. For example, it moves between the ground floor and a sky lobby, or it moves from the ground floor or a sky lobby to a range of floors, skipping floors in between. These are especially popular in eastern Asia.

Capacity

Residential elevators may be small enough to only accommodate one person while some are large enough for more than a dozen. Wheelchair, or platform elevators, a specialized type of elevator designed to move a wheelchair 3.7 m (12 ft) or less, can often accommodate just one person in a wheelchair at a time with a load of 340 kg (750 lb).

Freight elevators

A specialized elevator from 1905 for lifting narrow gauge railroad cars between a railroad freight house and the Chicago Tunnel Company tracks below. The interior of a freight elevator is very basic yet rugged for freight loading.

A freight elevator, or goods lift, is an elevator designed to carry goods, rather than passengers. Freight elevators are generally required to display a written notice in the car that the use by 17

passengers is prohibited (though not necessarily illegal), though certain freight elevators allow dual use through the use of an inconspicuous riser. In order for an elevator to be legal to carry passengers in some jurisdictions it must have a solid inner door. Freight elevators are typically larger and capable of carrying heavier loads than a passenger elevator, generally from 2,300 to 4,500 kg. Freight elevators may have manually operated doors, and often have rugged interior finishes to prevent damage while loading and unloading. Although hydraulic freight elevators exist, electric elevators are more energy efficient for the work of freight lifting.

Sidewalk elevators

A sidewalk elevator is a special type of freight elevator. Sidewalk elevators are used to move materials between a basement and a ground-level area, often the sidewalk just outside the building. They are controlled via an exterior switch and emerge from a metal trap door at ground level. Sidewalk elevator cars feature a uniquely shaped top that allows this door to open and close automatically.

Stage lifts

Stage lifts and orchestra lifts are specialized elevators, typically powered by hydraulics, that are used to raise and lower entire sections of a theater stage. For example, Radio City Music Hall has four such elevators: an orchestra lift that covers a large area of the stage, and three smaller lifts near the rear of the stage. In this case, the orchestra lift is powerful enough to raise an entire orchestra, or an entire cast of performers (including live elephants) up to stage level from below. There's a barrel on the background of the image of the left which can be used as a scale to represent the size of the mechanism

18

Vehicle elevators

Vehicular elevators are used within buildings or areas with limited space (in place of ramps), generally to move cars into the parking garage or manufacturer's storage. Geared hydraulic chains (not unlike bicycle chains) generate lift for the platform and there are no counterweights. To accommodate building designs and improve accessibility, the platform may rotate so that the driver only has to drive forward. Most vehicle elevators have a weight capacity of 2 tons.

Rare examples of extra-heavy elevators for 20-ton Lorries, and even for railcars (like one that was used at Dnipro Station of the Kiev Metro) also occur.

Boat lift

In some smaller canals, boats and small ships can pass between different levels of a canal with a boat elevator rather than through a canal lock.

Aircraft elevators

On aircraft carriers, elevators carry aircraft between the flight deck and the hangar deck for operations or repairs. These elevators are designed for much greater capacity than other elevators, up to 91,000 kg (200,000 lb) of aircraft and equipment. Smaller elevators lift munitions to the flight deck from magazines deep inside the ship.

19

Escalator

An escalator is a type of vertical transportation in the form of a moving staircase which carries people between floors of a building. It consists of a motor-driven chain of individually linked steps on a track which cycle on a pair of tracks which keep them horizontal. Escalators are used around the world in places where elevators would be impractical. Principal areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, transit systems (railway/railroad stations), convention centers, hotels, arenas, stadiums and public buildings. Escalators have the capacity to move large numbers of people. They can be placed in the same physical space as a staircase. They have no waiting interval (except during very heavy traffic). They can be used to guide people toward main exits or special exhibits. They may be weatherproofed for outdoor use. A nonfunctional escalator can function as a normal staircase, whereas many other methods of transport become useless when they break down or lose power.

Types of escalators 1) Step type escalator 2) Wheelchair assessable escalator 3) Belt type escalator 20

4) Cleat type escalator 5) Lavytator

Step type escalator The step type escalator is the common type of escalator today. The steps are usually metal, but very old step type escalators had wooden steps. Step type escalators can also go up/down, flat, then up/down again. On Otis Next Step escalators, the escalator steps are mounted on most likely hinged circles, and the track appears to be besides the steps, visible from above the steps. This type of escalator is designed to be safer than other step type escalators.

Wheelchair assessable escalator Wheelchair accessible escalators have an attendant. If someone in a wheelchair needs to use the escalator, the escalator will be stopped. Once the wheelchair is on the escalator, the escalator is put in a special mode. 3 steps will level out, forming a platform. After that, some spikes will come out of the step closest to the lower landing of the escalator of the platform made out of 3 steps, preventing the passenger's wheelchair from rolling off of the platform. After that, the escalator will start moving slowly. The attendant will ride with the passenger, possibly for safety reasons. In at least some cases, the escalator will start moving in the opposite direction that it usually moves (possibly because there might only be 1 wheelchair accessible escalator going between 2 floors in many cases). After that, the escalator will speed up. Once the passenger in the wheelchair gets close to the top, the escalator will slow down. After the passenger in the wheelchair is no longer on the escalator, the escalator is then switched back to normal operation.

21

Wheelchair accessible escalators might have only been installed in Japan. It is unknown if wheelchair accessible escalators are still made.

Belt type escalator The belt type escalator was made by Piat. You stand on a flat(?) belt. This type of escalator probably doesn't exist anywhere, anymore

Cleat type escalator The cleat type escalator had cleated metal, later wood treads that are slanted. Some types of cleat type escalator look more like a belt, not an escalator (the belt type escalator?). This type of escalator is not known to exist anywhere, anymore.

Lavytator The Levytator is a new type of escalator, the freeform escalator, that can curve multiple times, in either direction. There are 2 escalators, which share a continuous loop of steps. The 2 escalators can curve differently. A working prototype has been built, but currently the inventor is looking for a company to mass-produce, and sell the new type of escalator. The steps are uniquelyshaped.

Introduction

In this information age, the importance of human capital and human asset cannot do ignored; rather it is that line of business that could lead any organization to attain heights. This is the factor that makes difference between one organization and another. Getting the right person at the right place and then retaining him is the main area of concern in today’s corporate world. Hence, the emphasis is being laid to device policies and programs in such a manner that it leads to retention of the desired manpower and thus contributes towards organizational development. Each organization is now thriving to attain the best person i.e. the knowledgeable worker and leverage their wisdom towards the achievement of the organizational objectives. Nobody wants to have the third best or the second best, but to have the best person in the organization it becomes very difficult to retain them.

Certain great leaders who have made their mark in corporate world by their actions say that every organization can acquire the same machinery, the same infrastructure etc. But what makes the difference in one organization to another is the manpower it possess which cannot be copied down.

36

Considering the aspect of sourcing, no organization should ever think that once it has acquired the best talent created favorable conditions to retain them they would not require going in for sourcing activities.

Hence this should be kept in mind that sourcing is a continuous process, an outgoing one and will have its existence till the organization functions. The talent that we have acquired and retained is through its sourcing only. Unless and until a person is sourced from outside, how will the organization get the best. To have the best it is essential to acquire it from outside. There has been tremendous change in the technology and for the organization to survive in this changing scenario; it has become very essential that they keep up with the pace with the changes in the technology, the change in the culture etc.

Taking for example no organization can even think of operating without the use of information technology, now it becomes very difficult and costly affair to train the people within the organization at different level to learn how to make use of this technology. Hence sourcing is done and the best talent is acquired so that the person not only takes case of changing technical needs of the organization but also be able to make other employee learn from him.

After having determined the number and kinds of personnel required the human resource and personnel manager proceeds with identification of sources of recruitment and finding suitable candidates for employment. Both internal and external sources of manpower are used depending upon the types of personnel needed. 37

The selection procedure starts with the receipt of applications for various jobs from the interested candidates. Totally unsuitable candidates are rejected at the screening stage. Man power planning gives an assessment of the number and type of people required in the organization.

The next task of the personnel manager is to find out capable and suitable persons who may be working in the organization itself while others will have to be sought from outside the organization. It involves persuading and inducing suitable persons to apply for and seek jobs in the organization.

Recruitment refers to the attempt of getting interested applicants and providing a pool of prospective employees so that the management can select the right person for the right job from this pool. Recruitment is a positive process as it attracts suitable applicants to apply for available jobs. The process of recruitment:

1. Identifies the different sources of manpower supply. 2. Assesses their validity. 3. Chooses the most suitable source or sources. 4. Invites applications from the perspective candidates for the vacant jobs.

Recruitment is the process by which hiring departments develop a viable applicant pool from which hiring and promotion decisions are made. But prior to recruitment, position description is necessary while selection includes all the activities, from the initial screening interview to physical examination if required, that exist for the purpose of making effective selection decisions. POSITION DESCRIPTION A complete, accurate and current position description is the foundation for planning and conducting the recruitment effort. It should be Non discriminatory- One should never express a preference for certain age, race or national origin. In very rare case sex can constitute a bonafide occupational qualification. Valid- This means they are inherently job related and predict successful performance of the job. Defensible- This means they are recognized as legitimate in the field attached to the position. Objective and Measurable- It should be as objective and measurable as possible. The more subjective qualification the greater the need to predetermine how it will be qualitatively assessed.

If you specify a recruitment deadline, you may not consider any applications received after that date.



If you indicate the position will remain open until filled, you must consider any applications received until an offer has been extended and accepted.



If you indicate "applications received by a certain date will be assured full consideration," you can decide whether or not to review applications received after the specified date. When using this wording, it is critical to establish a meaningful date.

Recruitment activities should include good faith efforts to solicit a diverse applicant pool and affirm that race, sex, age, disability or veteran status will not be used to discriminate. If the position is in a job group that is underutilized, by women or ethnic minorities, additional targeted recruitment efforts should be undertaken. All advertisements and position announcements should be consistent with each other, reflect the qualifications identified in the position description. Prior to recruiting for a position, ensure that you know what institutional policies and procedures apply. Contact your HR Generalist before beginning recruitment. If you wish to waive recruitment for faculty and unclassified positions, consult with the appropriate HR Director or designee. 42

Purpose and Importance of Recruitment: 

The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates. Specifically, the purposes are to:

Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.



Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibly, under qualified or overqualified job applicants.

44

Methods of Recruitment The following are the most commonly used methods of recruiting people. They are: INTERNAL METHODS: 1. Promotions and Transfers-- This is a method of filling vacancies from within through transfers and promotions. A transfer is a lateral movement within the same grade, from one job to another. It may lead to changes in duties and responsibilities, working conditions, etc., but not necessarily salary. Promotion, on the other hand, involves movement of employee from a lower level position to a higher level position accompanied by (usually) changes in duties, responsibilities, status and value.

2. Job Posting-- Job posting is another way of hiring people from within. In this method, the organization publicizes job opening on bulletin boards, electronic method and similar outlets. One of the important advantages of this method is that it offers a chance to highly qualified applicants working within the company to look for growth opportunities within the company to look for growth opportunities within the company without looking for greener pastures outside.

3. Employee Referrals-- Employee referral means using personal contacts to locate job opportunities. It is a recommendation from a current employee regarding a job applicant. The logic behind employee referral is that “it takes one to know one”. Employees working in the organization, in this case, are encouraged to recommend the names of their friends, working in other organizations for a possible vacancy in the near future.

45

External (direct) Methods: 1. Campus Recruitment-- It is a method of recruiting by visiting and participating in college campuses and their placement centers. Here the recruiters visit reputed educational institutions such as IITs, IIMs, colleges and universities with a view to pick up job aspirants having requisite technical or professional skills. Job seekers are provided information about the jobs and the recruiters, in turn, get a snapshot of job seekers through constant interchange of information with respective institutions.

2. External (Indirect) Methods: Advertisements-- These include advertisements in newspapers; trade, professional and technical journals; radio and television; etc. in recent times, this medium has become just as colorful, lively and imaginative as consumer advertising. The ads generally give a brief outline of the job responsibilities, compensation package, prospects in organizations, etc. 

Newspaper Ads: Here it is easy to place job ads without much of a lead time. It has flexibility in terms of information and can conveniently target a specific geographic location. On the negative side, newspaper ads tend to attract only those who are actively seeking employment at that point of time, while some of the best candidates who are well paid and challenged by their current jobs may not be aware of such openings.



Television and radio ads: These ads are more likely to each individual who are not actively seeking employment; they are more likely to stand out distinctly, they help the organization to target the audience more selectively and they offer considerable scope for designing ads creatively.

46

Other Methods: 

Private Employment Search Firms: - As search firm is a private employment agency that maintains computerized lists of qualified applicants and supplies these to employers willing to hire people from the list for a fee. These firms can be any consultancy or placements firms.



Employment Exchanges: - As a statutory requirement, companies are also expected to notify (wherever the Employment Exchanges Act, 1959, applies) their vacancies through the respective Employment Exchanges, created all over India for helping unemployed youth, displaced persons, ex-military personnel, physically handicapped, etc.



Gate Hiring and Contractors:- Gate hiring (where job seekers, generally blue collar employees, present themselves at the factory gate and offer their services on a daily basis), hiring through contractors, recruiting through word-of-mouth publicity are still in use – despite the many possibilities for their misuse – in the small scale sector in India.



Unsolicited Applicants / Walk-ins:- Companies generally receive unsolicited applications from job seekers at various points of time; the number of such applications depends on economic conditions, the image of the company and the job seeker’s perception of the types of jobs that might be available etc.

47
