INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Recruitment and Selection are the two most important
functions of Personnel Management. Recruitment precedes selection, where
1

recruitment is the process of searching prospective employees and


stimulating them to apply for the job and selection is the process of picking
the individuals who have relevant qualifications to fill the concerned job.
The first process of any recruitment and selection program
is defining the needs and requirements for new workers and professionals for
outlined job positions and openings. Carefully devised and developed roles,
responsibilities, skill sets and qualifications are defined and the job postings
placed in recruitment ads in various media. Large workforce organizations
also work with staffing agencies, HR contractors and online job portals to
outsource certain employee requirements.
Right person for the Right job at the Right time is the basic
principle in the process of Recruitment and Selection. Every organization
should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers.
The operative is equally important and essential for orderly working if an
enterprise.
Every business organization needs man power for carrying
out different activities smoothly and efficiently where suitable candidate is
very much necessary for any sort of job, where recruitment and selection plays
an important role. Human Resource Management in an organization will not
be possible if unsuitable person is selected and employed in a business unit.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:
Every organization requires certain number of people to fulfill the purpose of
its existence. In the present day scenario, the organizations having competent
employees can only survive. In order to have efficient people, utmost care should be
taken in the recruitment process. Jobs play an important role in every organization;
Human Resources are responsible and accountable for the work assigned to them.
With so many new companies coming up, HR department plays an important role in
every firm.
Recruitment itself is quite a tricky and complicated process. A good planning
should be made so that it attracts right kind of person from which the best can be
selected proper recruitment can be done only through efficient and skilled managers.
If the management is not good enough with regard to recruitment process
then it cannot be a successful company.

PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE OF RECRUITMENT


Determine the present and future requirements of the organization
on conjunction with its personnel-planning and job analysis activities.
1. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.
2. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number
of visibly under qualified or overqualified job applicants.
3. Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected,
will leave the organization only after a short period of time.
4. Meet the organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition
of its work force.
5. Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be
appropriate candidates.
6. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and long
term.
7. Evaluate the effectiveness of various recruiting techniques and sources for all
types of job applicants.
Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs
available in the organization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit
applications for the purpose of selection.
What is included in Recruitment and Selection?
Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening, and selecting a qualified
person for a job. All companies in any industry can benefit from contingency or
retain professional recruiters or outsourcing the process to recruitment agencies.
The recruitment industry has four basic types of firms.
1). Employment Agencies deal with clerical, trades, temporary and temporary to
hire employment opportunities.
2). Recruitment websites and job search engines used to gather as many candidates as
possible by advertising a position over a wide geographic area. Although thought to
be a cost effective alternative, a human resource department will spend time outside
7

their normal duties reading and screening resumes. A professional recruiter has the
ability to read and screen resumes, talk to potential candidates and deliver a selective
group in a timely manner.
3). "Head hunters" for executive and professional positions. These firms are either
contingency or retained. Although advertising is used to keep a flow of candidates
these firms rely on networking as their main source of candidates.
4). Niche agencies specialize in a particular industrial area of staffing.
Some organizations prefer to utilize employer branding strategy and in-house
recruitment instead of recruiting firms. The difference, a recruiting firm is always
looking for talent whereas an internal department is focused on filling a single
opening. The advantage associated with utilizing a third-party recruiting firm is their
ability to know where to find a qualified candidate. Talent Management is a key
component to the services a professional recruiting firm can provide.
The stages in recruitment include sourcing candidates by networking,
advertising or other methods. Utilizing professional interviewing techniques to
understand the candidates skills but motivations to make a move, screening potential
candidates using testing (skills or personality) is also a popular part of the process.
The process is meant to not only evaluate the candidate but also evaluate how the
candidate will fit into the organization. The recruiter will meet with the hiring
manager to obtain specific position and type information before beginning the
process. After the recruiter understands the type of person the company needs, they
begin the process of informing their network of the opportunity. Recruiters play an
important role by preparing the candidate and company for the interview, providing
feedback to both parties and handling salary/benefits negotiations.

TYPES OF SOURCES RECRUITMENT:

INTERNAL RECRUITMENT:

2)
3)
4)

6)

Transfer
Promotions
Upgrading
Demotion
Retired employees
Retrenched employees

EXTERNALRECRUITMENT:
1) Press advertising
2) Educational institutes
3) Employee referrals
4) Labor contractors
5) Outsourcing

INTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:


Transfers: The employees are transferred from one department to another according
to their efficiency and expertise.
Promotions: The employees are promoted from one department to another with
more benefits and greater responsibility based on their efficiency and experience.
Upgrading and Demotion: Upgrading and demoting the present employees
according to their performance.
Retired and Retrenched Employees: Retired and Retrenched employees may also
be recruited once again in case of shortage of qualified personnel or increase in load
9

of work. Recruiting such people save time and cost of the organization as they
already know the culture policies and procedures of the organization.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT:
Press Advertising: Advertisements of vacancies in newspapers and journals are
widely used source of recruitment. The main advantage of this method is that it has a
wide reach.
Educational Institutes: Various management institutes, engineering and medical
colleges are a good source of recruitment and well qualified executives, engineers,
staff etc They provide facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source
is known as Campus recruitment.
Employee Referrals: Many organizations have structured system where the current
employees of the organization can refer their friends and relatives who are capable
for some position in their organization.
Labor Contractors: Manual workers can be recruited through contractors who
maintain close contacts with the sources of such workers. This source is used to
recruit labor for construction jobs.
METHODS OF RECRUITMENT:
There are three methods of recruitment:
1. Direct Method
2. Indirect Method
3. Third-Party Method
Direct method: Commonly known as campus recruitment. In this, organization
directly goes to different professional or technical institutes to recruit. Under this type
of recruitment, the candidates are briefed about the nature and recruitment of the
jobs. Students in turn fill their bio-data and other attributes in their placement form.
Based on their exchange, a preliminary screening is done. The short listed candidates
are then called for further selection process.
Indirect method: Indirect method involves advertisements in newspaper, television,
journals, and magazines etc allows the organization to invite applications a wide
range of applicants. The advertisements give specific information on job
requirements and benefits to be enjoyed by the employees while working in the

10

organization. Prospective candidates screen themselves and assess themselves about


their eligibility for the said post.
Third-party method: This includes recruitment made through friends, relatives,
employment agencies, colleagues, professional association, placement organization
etc

The Recruitment and selection process consist of six stages:


Stage 1: Agree to vacancy to be filled
Understand the job
Stage 2: Job analysis
Sort out the knowledge, skills and aptitudes needed to do the job
Stage 3: Attracting a field of candidates
Deciding where suitable applicants can be found and persuading
them to apply.
Stage 4: Sorting candidates
Methods of finding out, if candidates have required knowledge,
skills, aptitudes.
Stage 5: Selection interviews
Make actual choice.
Stage 6: Finally to organization
Introducing the new recruit to organization, ensuring he /she will
start with enthusiastic attitude and settle down quickly

It is important to appreciate that recruitment is a continuous process because of:


Staff departures (e.g. retirements, sackings, resignations)

11

Changes in business requirements (e.g. new products, markets, expanded


operations)
Changes in business location (a relocation often triggers the need for
substantial recruitment)
Promotions

FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT:


The following are the 2 important factors affecting Recruitment:1)

INTERNAL FACTORS
Recruiting policy
Temporary and part-time employees
Recruitment of local citizens
Companys size
Cost of recruitment
Companys growth and expansion

2)

EXTERNAL FACTORS
Supply and Demand factors
Unemployment Rate
Labor-market conditions
Political and legal considerations
Social factors
Economic factors
Technological factors

12

FLOW CHART OF RECRUITMENT& SELECTION PROCESS:

If a firm has a poor image in the market, many of the prospective candidates
may not even apply for vacancies advertised by the firm. If the job is not attractive,
qualified people may not even apply. Any job that is viewed as boring, hazardous,
anxiety producing, low-paying, or lacking in promotion potential seldom will attract
a qualified pool of applicants. Recruiting efforts require money.
Sometimes because of limited resources, organizations may not like to carry
on the recruiting efforts for long periods of time, this can, ultimately, constrain a
recruiters effort to attract the best person for the job. Government policies often
come in the way of recruiting people as per the rules of the company or on the basis
of merit/seniority, etc. For example, reservations to specific groups (such as
scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward castes, physically handicapped and
disabled persons, ex-servicemen, etc.) have to be observed as per constitutional
provisions while filling up vacancies in government corporations, departmental
undertakings, local bodies, quasi-government organizations, etc.

13

INDUCEMENTS
Organizational inducements are all the positive features and
benefits offered by an organization that serves to attract job applicants to the
organization. Three inducements need specific mention here, they are:
Compensation: Starting salaries, frequency of pay increases, incentives and fringe
benefits can all serve as inducements to potential employees.
Career Opportunities: These help the present employees to grow personally and
professionally and also attract good people to the organization. The feeling that the
company takes care of employee career aspirations serves as a powerful
inducements to potential employees.
Image or Reputation: Factors that affect an organizations reputation include its
general treatment of employees, the nature and quality of its products and services
and its participation in worthwhile social endeavors.
CORPORATE MISSION, OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND TACTICS
(MOST)
Corporations have started linking their Mission, Objectives, Strategies and
Tactics (MOST) to the functions of recruitment and selection. The economic
liberalizations and consequent competition through quality and services necessitated
the companies to search for and attract competent human resources. Corporations
focusing on new business development will have to seek entrepreneurial abilities,
companies planning to withdraw from diversifications must look for pragmatists and
companies chasing growth alliances should employ people comfortable in different
cultural backgrounds. Above all, companies must hire for the future, anticipating
jobs that may not be in existence yet. Recruitment managers must focus for attitudes
and approaches that fit the corporate goals and culture.

THE PROCESS OF SELECTION

14

Selection is usually a series of hurdles or steps. Each one must


be successfully cleared before the applicant proceeds to the next one. The time and
emphasis place on each step will definitely vary from one organization to another
and indeed, from job to job within the same organization. The sequence of steps may
also vary from job to job and organization to organization. For example some
organizations may give more importance to testing while others give more emphasis
to interviews and reference checks. Similarly a single brief selection interview might
be enough for applicants for lower level positions, while applicants for managerial
jobs might be interviewed by a number of people.

Fig: process of selection

Reception:

15

A company is known by the people it employs. In order to attract people with


talents, skills and experience a company has to create a favourable impression on the
applicants right from the stage of reception. Whoever meets the applicant initially
should be tactful and able to extend help in a friendly and courteous way.
Employment possibilities must be presented honestly and clearly. If no jobs are
available at that point of time, the applicant may be asked to call back the personnel
department after some time.
Screening Interview:
A preliminary interview is generally planned by large organizations to cut the
cost of selection by allowing only eligible candidates to go through the further stages
in selection. A junior executive from the Personnel Department may elicit responses
from the applicants on important items determining the suitability of an applicant for
a job such as age, education, experience, pay expectations, aptitude, location, choice
etc. this courtesy interview as it is often called helps the department screen out
obvious misfits. If the department finds the candidate suitable, a prescribed
application form is given to the applicants to fill and submit.
Application Blank:
Application blank or form is one of the most common methods used to collect
information on the various aspects of the applicants academic, social, demographic,
work related background and references. It is a brief history sheet of employees
background, usually containing the following things:

Personal data (address, sex, telephone number)


Marital data
Educational data
Employment Experience
Extra-curricular activities
References and Recommendations

Usefulness of Application Blank or Form


Application blank is highly useful selection tool, in that way it serves three
important purposes:
1.

It introduces the candidate to the company in a formal way.

2.

It helps the company to have a cross-comparison of the applicants;


16

3.

It can serve as a basis to initiate a dialogue in the interview.

Selection Testing:
In this section let examine the selection test or the employment test that
attempts to asses intelligence, abilities, personality trait, performance simulation tests
including work sampling and the tests administered at assessment centers- followed
by a discussion about the polygraph test, graphology and integrity test.
A test is a standardized, objective measure of a persons behavior,
performance or attitude. It is standardized because the way the tests is carried out, the
environment in which the test is administered and the way the individual scores are
calculated- are uniformly applied. It is objective in that it tries to measure individual
differences in a scientific way giving very little room for individual bias and
interpretation. Over the years employment tests have not only gained importance but
also a certain amount of inevitability in employment decisions. Since they try to
objectively determine how well an applicant meets the job requirement, most
companies do not hesitate to invest their time and money in selection testing in a big
way. Some of the commonly used employment tests are:

Intelligence tests
Aptitude tests
Personality tests
Achievement tests
Miscellaneous tests such as graphology, polygraphy and honesty
tests.

1. Intelligence Tests:
These are mental ability tests. They measure the incumbents learning ability
and the ability to understand instructions and make judgments. The basic objective of
such test is to pick up employees who are alert and quick at learning things so that
they can be offered adequate training to improve their skills for the benefit of the
organization. These tests measure several abilities such as memory, vocabulary,
verbal fluency, numerical ability, perception etc
2. Aptitude Test:
Aptitude test measure an individuals potential to learn certain skills- clerical,
mechanical, mathematical, etc. These tests indicate whether or not an individual has
17

the capabilities to learn a given job quickly and efficiently. In order to recruit
efficient office staff, aptitude tests are necessary. An aptitude tests is always
administered in combination with other tests like intelligence and personality tests as
it does not measure on-the-job-motivation
3. Personality Test:
Of all test required for selection the personality tests have generated a lot of
heat and controversy. The definition of personality, methods of measuring personality
factors and the relationship between personality factors and actual job criteria has
been the subject of much discussion. Researchers have also questioned whether
applicants answer all the items truthfully or whether they try to respond in a socially
desirable manner. Regardless of these objections, many people still consider
personality as an important component of job success.
4. Achievement Tests:
These are designed to measure what the applicant can do on the job currently,
i.e., whether the testee actually knows what he or she claims to know. A typing test
tests shows the typing proficiency, a short hand tests measures the testee ability to
take dictation and transcribe, etc. Such proficiency tests are also known as work
sampling test. Work sampling is a selection tests wherein the job applicants ability to
do a small portion of the job is tested. These tests are of two types; Motor, involving
physical manipulations of things(e.g., trade tests for carpenters, electricians,
plumbers) or Verbal, involving problem situation that are primarily language-oriented
or
people-oriented(e.g.
situational
tests
for
supervisor
jobs).
Since work samples are miniature replicas of the actual job requirements, they are
difficult to fake. They offer concrete evidence of the proficiency of an applicant as
against his ability to the job. However, work sample tests are not cost effective and
every candidate has to be tested individually. It is not easy to develop work samples
for each job. Moreover, it is not applicable to all levels of the organization.

5. Simulation Tests:

18

Simulation exercise is a tests which duplicate many of the activities and


problems an employee faces while at work. Such exercises are commonly used while
hiring managers at various levels in an organization. To assess the potential of a
candidate for managerial positions assessment centers are commonly used.
6. Assessment Centre:
An assessment centre is an extended work sample. It uses procedures that
incorporate group and individual exercises. These exercises are designed to stimulate
the type of work which the candidate will be expected to do. Initially a small batch of
applicants comes to the assessment centre (a separate room). Their performance in
the situational exercise is observed and evaluated by a team of 6-8 assessors. The
assessors judgment on each exercise are complied and combined to have a summary
rating for each candidate being assessed.
7. Selection Interview:
Interview is the oral examination of candidates for employment. This is the
most essential step in the selection process. In this step the interviewer matches the
information obtained about the candidates through various means to the job
requirements and to the information obtained through his own observations during
the interview. Interview gives the recruiter an opportunity

To size up the candidate personally;


To ask question that are not covered in the tests;
To make judgments on candidates enthusiasm and intelligence;
To assess subjective aspects of the candidate facial expressions,
appearance, nervousness and so forth;
To give facts to the candidates regarding the company, its policies, etc.
and promote goodwill towards the company.
Types of interviews:
Several types of interviews are commonly used depending on the
nature and importance of the position to be filled within an
organization.
In a NON-DIRECTIVE INTERVIEW the recruiter asks questions as they come to
mind. There is no specific format to be followed.
In a PATTERNED INTERVIEW, the employer follows a pre-determined
sequence of questions. Here the interviewee is given a special form containing
19

questions regarding his technical competence, personality traits, attitudes, motivation,


etc.
In a STRUCTURED OR SITUATIONAL INTERVIEW, there are fixed job
related questions that are presented to each applicant.
In a PANEL INTERVIEW several interviewers question and seek answers
from one applicant. The panel members can ask new and incisive questions based on
their expertise and experience and elicit deeper and more meaningful expertise from
candidates.
Interviews can also be designed to create a difficult environment where the
applicants confidence level and the ability to stand erect in difficult situations are put
to test. These are referred to as the STRESS INTERVIEW. This is basically an
interview in which the applicant is made uncomfortable by a series of, often, rude,
annoying or embarrassing questions.
In the final category, there is the APPRAISAL INTERVIEW, where a superior
and subordinate sit together after the performance appraisal to discuss the
subordinates rating and possible remedial actions

Steps in interview process:


Interview is an art. It demands a positive frame of mind on part of the interviewers.
Interviewers must be treated properly so as to leave a good impression about the
company in their minds. HR experts have identified certain steps to be followed while
conducting interviews:
Preparation:

Establishing the objective of the interview.


Receiving the candidates application and resume.
Keeping tests score ready, along with interview assessment forms.
Selecting the interview method which is to be followed.
Choosing the panel of experts who would interview the candidates.
Identifying proper room for environment.

Reception:

20

The candidate should be properly received and led into the interview room. Start the
interview on time.
Information Exchange:
State the purpose of the interview, how the qualifications are going to be matched with
skills needed to handle the job.
Begin with open ended questions where the candidate gets enough freedom to express
himself.
Focus on the applicants education, training, work experience, etc. Find unexplained gaps
in applicants past work or college record and elicit facts that are not mentioned in the
resume.
Evaluation:
Evaluation is done on basis of answers and justification given by the applicant in the
interview.
Physical examination:
After the selection decision and before the job offer is made, the candidate is required to
undergo a physical fitness test. A job offer is often contingent upon the candidate being
declared fit after the physical examination.
Medical examination:
Certain jobs require physical qualities like clear vision, perfect hearing, unusual stamina,
tolerance of hard working conditions, clear tone, etc. Medical examination reveals
whether or not a candidate possesses these qualities.
Reference check:
Once the interview and medical examination of the candidate is over, the personnel
department will engage in checking references. Candidates are required to give the names
of 2 or 3 references in their application forms. These references may be from the
individuals who are familiar with the candidates academic achievements or from the
applicants previous employer, who is well versed with the applicants job performance
and sometimes from the co-workers. In case the reference check is from the previous
employer, information in the following areas may be obtained.

21

They are job title, job description, period of employment, pay and
allowances, gross emoluments, benefits provided, rate of absence, willingness of previous
employer to employ the candidate again, etc. Further, information regarding candidates
regularity at work, character, progress, etc. can be obtained. Often a telephone call is
much quicker. The method of mail query provides detailed information about the
candidates performance, character and behavior. However, a personal visit is superior to
the mail or telephone methods and is used where it is highly essential to get a detailed,
first hand information which can also be secured by observation. Reference checks are
taken as a matter of routine and treated casually or omitted entirely in many
organizations. But a good reference check, when used sincerely, will fetch useful and
reliable information to the organization.
Hiring decision: The line manager has to make the final decision now whether to
select or reject a candidate after soliciting the required information through different
techniques discussed earlier. The line manager has to take adequate care in taking the
final decision because of economic, behavioral and social implications of the selection
decisions. A careless decision of rejecting a candidate would impair the morale of the
people and they suspect the selection procedure and the very basis of selection in a
particular organization.
A true understanding between line managers and personnel managers should be
established so as to facilitate good selection decisions. After taking the final decision, the
organization has to intimate this decision to the successful as well as unsuccessful
candidates. The organization sends the appointment order to the successful candidates
either immediately or after sometime depending upon its time schedule.

CASE STUDY:WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT? ;RECRUITING (OR) RETAINING:


G.K.Electronics Ltd is an internationally reputed electronics
firm. It attracted employees from internationally reputed institutes and industries by
offering high salaries, perks, etc. It had advertised for the position of an Electronics
engineer some years back. Nearly 150 candidates working in various electronics firm
applied for the job. Mr. Sashidhar, an Electronics Engineer Graduate from Indian
Institute of Technology with 5 years of working experience in a small electronics
firm was selected among those interviewed. The interview board recommended an
enhancement in his salary by Rs.500 more than his present salary at his request. He
was very happy and was congratulated by his previous employer for his brilliant
interview performance and good luck.
Mr. Sashidhar joined the company with great enthusiasm and
also found his job to be quite comfortable and challenging one. He found that his
colleagues and superiors were friendly and co-operative. But this didnt last long.
After one year of his service, he slowly learnt about a number of unpleasant stories
about the company, management, the superior-subordinate relations, rate of employee
turnover, etc. But still he decided to continue with the promise that he made in the
interview. He wanted to please and change the attitude of management through his
performance, commitment and dedication. Looking at his great contributions and
efforts, the management got the impression that he is well settled will remain in the
company for a long time. After sometime they all started taking undue advantage of
him and overloaded him with multifarious jobs and thereby ridded over him. As a
result, his freedom in deciding and executing was cut down to size; his colleagues
started assigning their responsibilities to him. Consequently, there were imbalances in
his family, social and organization life.
It was quite surprising to the general manager to see the
resignation letter of Mr. Sashidhar one fine morning. The general manager failed to
convince him to withdraw his resignation. The general manager wanted to appoint a
committee to go into the matter immediately, but dropped the idea later so that the
companys image doesnt get spoiled.

23

ANALYSIS
Thus, from this case study it is clear that retaining is much more
important than recruiting. Whats the use and benefits of recruiting quality employees
if they cannot be retained by the organization in a proper manner. The purpose of
recruitment is fulfilled when the employees selected from a pool of qualified
applicants are retained in the company by keeping them satisfied in all aspects. They
must be provided with better working conditions, better pay scales, incentives,
recognition, promotion, bonus, flexible working hours, etc. They should treat the
employees as co-owners and partners of the company.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION


Both recruitment and selection are the two phases of the employment process. The
differences between the two are:
1. Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating
them to apply for jobs in the organization where as selection involves the series of steps
by which the candidates are screened for choosing the most suitable persons for vacant
posts.
2. The basic purpose of recruitments is to create a talent pool of candidates to enable the
selection of best candidates for the organization, by attracting more and more employees
to apply in the organization where as the basic purpose of selection process is to choose
the right candidate to fill the various positions in the organization
.
3. Recruitment is a positive process i.e. encouraging more and more employees to apply
where as selection is a negative process as it involves rejection of the unsuitable
candidates.
4. Recruitment is concerned with tapping the sources of human resources where as
selection is concerned with selecting the most suitable candidate through various
interviews and tests.

24

5. There is no contract of recruitment established in recruitment where as selection results


in a contract of service between the employer and the selected employee .

SUGGESTIONS:
The study on Recruitment and Selection at Priya Foods Pvt.Ltd helped me in learning the
activities of HR department which has given me immense pleasure to conclude with
suggestions of my study.

According to my perception it would be more better for the organization if the


interaction with new joiners is positive reaches to 100%, so that they mingle with
the colleagues properly and therefore, fetches good result on fulfilling the purpose
of recruiting them.
I feel that general intelligence regarding the organization and job has to be weighted
while selecting a candidate, so that it does not take much time for a candidate to
know about the organization and his/her job.
According to my findings 32% of the employees from the sample are not satisfied
for their pay, it would be more better if the organization pays the candidate
according to the worth of his/her job so that the employee retention would be better.
According to my findings 34% of the employees would like to give suggestions
regarding the Recruitment and selection process, I feel that the employees
suggestions should be taken into consideration and necessary changes are to be
made according to the changes in the market.
I would like to suggest the HR department that the candidates should be conducted
the test round online, so that the first round would become an easy part for both
organization and the candidate also.
The programs like screening process and induction program should also be given
importance where in the main part of recruitment process lies. If the screening
process is done perfectly and strictly the interviewer can know much better about
the candidate and if induction program is done perfectly it is easy for the new
employee to know about the organization well.
