To analyze how the organization takes its recruitment practices to give the company better employers. 9 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY There is no activity that can be completed without any limitation. The main limitation faced during the preparation of this project report on `Recruitment Practices in Family owned business and professionally owned business` is as follows: Time available for the completion of the project is very short; hence much information could not be undertaken. The information that is collected through secondary data, some of the information might be wrong. The calculation & computation are based on valuable information given by the bank. The report is based on the analysis of the last five years data, which may not be sufficient in some cases. The analysis and conclusion made is as per my limited Understanding for this concerned subject. 10 INTRODUCTION In today‟s scenario, the recruitment procedure varies depending upon the nature of the requirement. These procedures require the placement of the right talent at the right place, thereby making the association mutually beneficial for the employer and the employee. In order to get a RIGHT CANDIDATE, employers are always concerned and needs to be addressed critically. There are usually two types of recruitment processes: Recruitment Processes: Recruitment processes can be well determined into two categories. They are: 1) Internal Recruitment 2) External Recruitment Internal recruitment – The term internal recruitment is defined as the practice of choosing amongst current company workers to fill a position that falls vacant over time. This may include a change in profile on the part of the employee. Internal recruitment is more economical and less time consuming for the company. External recruitment – In contrast, external recruitment has to do with external candidates applying for an available position. Once the staffing requirements are determined, an organization has to ensure that there are appropriate recruitment systems in place to attract and select candidates of the right caliber. This requires identifying and focusing on each of the critical stages of the recruitment process. Naturally, the resources spent for the overall selection process are more. Now we shall discuss this type of recruitment in different organizations. 11 ORGANISATIONS 1. GOPAL GROUP: A Family owned and Product Based Industry. 2.
