Recruitment and Choice of Personnel in Developing Nations6397861
While the U.S.A and Europe are struggling to fight unemployment due to the fantastic recession of the last 2 or 3 years, India, on the other hand, is seeing a fantastic revival of employment opportunities in the private sector. All top companies are on recruitment spree to rope in the best talents from various colleges of the country. There is a massive recruitment drive. It is a matter of great satisfaction for the emerging country that India does not require any help from the West in the type of specialists, advisors, managers, operating and teaching personnel etc and is in a position to meet all its needs fully and capably.
Recruitment of individuals is done by various techniques by various companies. The Central and State Governments adopt methods which are different from that of private sector companies. There are 2 or 3 techniques in vogue, the oldest and the most transparent is via the Union Public Service Commission. They conduct examination at national level, which are open to all these who satisfy the minimum qualifications required and are advertised. A select number of aspirants are known as for interview and among them the best is offered the job. The entire procedure is open and very small scope for any malpractices. All Government owned companies and some departments like Atomic Energy and Space Research also adhere to the exact same technique.
The private sector follows the Western model. They conduct what they call "Aptitude Test" followed by a group discussion, then a preliminary interview and subsequently the final interview. Full transparency is not apparent in the interview stage, and there is possibility of favors being granted to relatives of Directors etc.
Still, the really talented and deserving are by no means left out. This space is very crowded because of the disparity in the remuneration between these jobs and these of the Government. There also individuals who favor Government jobs simply because they are safe there.
Recruitment of the correct people is a important element in the effective aspiration of any young company. 'The correct individuals in the right job' is the theme. Special panels are constituted to conduct interviews, depending on the posts being filled. Fantastic pain is taken in framing the questions for the tests with the help of specialists, the aim being to know not only the candidate's technical and common knowledge but also find out the reflexes and tough situations response, power of quick considering and decision making. Recruitment is not an simple procedure in such a complex nation.
