EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Internship at Tanvir Traders in Lucknow was a great exposure to the
industry. After a summer of training, it was first-hand experience of
industry and HR operations.
INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT
This project deals with HR policy and procurement of Tanvir Traders.
The HR policy of the organization helps each person to increase them
potential in all areas, help them to be satisfied and confident about
their present and future.
The organization needs to be more responsive to the changing
scenarios and latest trends in the recruitment and selection process.
The capacity of the organization must be improved by constantly
updating the latest technology, including the latest trends and
methods used in recruitment and selection of candidates,
recruitment policy formulation and effective HR planning, because
any failure in HR planning will limit the achievement of goals.
organization Objectives in today's highly competitive market
challenge is a continuous process that requires proper identification
of manpower needs of the organization as well as ways to hire
effective and right person at the right time. The purpose of the
project was to collect information from employees of the selected
company, analyze the meaning of the information and draw a
conclusion.
PROJECT TITLE
The name of the project is "Recruitment and Procurement". As the
name suggests, it is a study of HR policies and placement structure
prevailing in an organization.
INTRODUCTION
Authentic acquisition was conducted to understand the recruitment
process. An interview was held with the candidates, after which
potential candidates were selected for the next stage. During the
Internship, I have learned how to put applicants through different
task and went through primarily interviews.
As an HR assistant, I also learned to check submitted documents,
such as information mentioned in the CV, work experience,
achievements and some other background information.
The whole recruitment process is very exhausting. It is detailed in
nature. The reason that every employee is motivated to work comes
from the knowledge that at that moment the recruiter in question
was responsible for giving those candidates a job. Creating jobs is
one thing, but recruiting the right workforce for the job is another.
This not only requires a basic understanding of the client company's
need to complete the task at a certain time, but also requires the
recruiter to be sensitive to the needs of the candidate in order to
find the right job for them. All this requires a great depth of intellect.
During SIP, I learned how to work like a professional. One thing that
became abundantly clear is that textbooks are no help in the real
world of business. Every employee must follow unwritten policies
and procedures.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT RECRUITMENT
Recruitment is a critical HR process that involves attracting and
selecting qualified candidates to fill job vacancies within an
organization. Various internal and external factors can influence the
recruitment process. Here's a breakdown of these factors:
1. INTERNAL FACTORS
Organizational Culture: The culture and values of the
organization can impact recruitment. Candidates may be
attracted to or deterred by the culture, and the organization
may seek candidates who align with its values.
HR Policies: Internal HR policies and practices, such as the
organization's recruitment strategy, hiring policies, and
diversity and inclusion initiatives, can influence recruitment
outcomes.
Budget: The availability of financial resources can affect the
recruitment process. A limited budget may restrict the
organization's ability to use certain recruitment methods or
offer competitive salaries.
Current Workforce: The existing workforce's skills,
qualifications, and diversity can impact recruitment needs.
Organizations may need to hire to complement existing skills
or increase diversity.
Job Design: How a job is structured and designed can affect
recruitment. Well-defined job roles and responsibilities can
attract suitable candidates.
Employee Referrals: Employee referrals can be an internal
factor influencing recruitment. Organizations may have referral
programs that encourage employees to recommend
candidates.
Promotion and Career Development: Internal promotions and
career development opportunities can influence the need for
external recruitment to fill higher-level vacancies.
2. EXTERNAL FACTORS
Labor Market: The availability of qualified candidates in the
labor market is a significant external factor. A tight labor
market with low unemployment may make it harder to find
suitable candidates.
Economic Conditions: The overall economic climate can impact
recruitment. In a recession, for example, organizations may
reduce hiring, while in a booming economy, there may be
more competition for talent.
Legal and Regulatory Environment: Employment laws and
regulations can affect recruitment practices, such as equal
employment opportunity laws, visa regulations for
international candidates, and minimum wage laws.
Technology and Industry Trends: Technological advancements
and industry-specific trends can influence the skills and
qualifications required for certain positions, affecting
recruitment strategies.
Competitors: What competitors are offering in terms of
compensation, benefits, and work culture can influence an
organization's ability to attract and retain talent.
Demographics: Demographic factors like population growth,
age distribution, and workforce diversity can impact the
availability and characteristics of potential candidates.
Social and Cultural Factors: Socio-cultural factors, such as
changing career preferences and work-life balance
expectations, can shape candidate motivations and
preferences.
Geographic Location: The location of the organization can
affect recruitment. Some locations may be more attractive to
candidates due to factors like cost of living, quality of life, and
proximity to family.
“Recruitment strategies need to consider both internal and external
factors to ensure the organization can attract and retain the right
talent to meet its goals and objectives effectively. Adaptability in
response to changing conditions is also crucial for successful
recruitment.”
STEPS OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS:
Identifying the Need: The recruitment process begins with
identifying the need for a new employee or a replacement. This
could result from expansion, turnover, or a change in
organizational structure.
Job Analysis: A thorough analysis of the job vacancy is
conducted to determine the specific skills, qualifications, and
responsibilities required for the position.
Creating Job Description: A detailed job description is created,
outlining the job's responsibilities, qualifications, and any other
relevant details.
Job Posting: The job vacancy is advertised through various
channels such as the company's website, job boards, social
media, and in some cases, print media.
Application Screening: Received applications and resumes are
screened to shortlist candidates who meet the basic
qualifications and requirements.
Interviewing: Candidates who pass the initial screening are
invited for interviews. This may include one or more rounds of
interviews, including phone interviews, video interviews, and
in-person interviews.
Assessment: Depending on the position, candidates may be
required to undergo assessments, tests, or skills evaluations to
gauge their suitability for the role.
Background Checks and References: Candidates who are being
seriously considered are subjected to background checks and
their references are contacted to verify their qualifications and
work history.
Offering the Position: A formal job offer is extended to the
selected candidate, including details of compensation, benefits,
and other terms of employment.
Acceptance and Onboarding: Once the candidate accepts the
offer, the onboarding process begins, which includes
paperwork, orientation, and training.
Methods/Techniques of Recruitment:
Direct Recruitment: This involves hiring candidates directly
through job postings, company websites, and referrals without
the involvement of external agencies.
Indirect Recruitment: In this method, organizations use third-
party platforms or intermediaries like job agencies, recruiters,
or headhunters to source and screen potential candidates.
Third-Party Recruitment: This method involves outsourcing the
entire recruitment process to a third-party recruitment agency
or consulting firm. They handle everything from job posting to
candidate selection.
Handling Rejected Candidates:
Prompt Communication: Inform rejected candidates as soon as
a decision is made. Delaying communication can create
frustration and negative impressions.
Constructive Feedback: Offer constructive feedback to
candidates if they request it or if you believe it can help them
improve. Be honest but tactful in providing feedback.
Maintain Professionalism: Maintain a professional and
respectful tone in all interactions with rejected candidates.
They might be future candidates or customers.
Keep Their Information: Retain the candidate's information for
future reference. They may be a good fit for other positions
that open up later.
Offer to Stay Connected: Let candidates know that you would
like to keep their information for potential future opportunities
and ask for their consent to do so.
Continuous Improvement: Use feedback from the recruitment
process to continuously improve your hiring methods and
ensure a positive candidate experience for all applicants,
whether they are accepted or rejected.
PREPARATION IN RECRUITMENT:
Preparation is a crucial aspect of the recruitment process, as it
ensures that you are well-equipped to identify, attract, and select the
best candidates for your organization. Here are key areas of
preparation in recruitment:
Define Job Requirements: Start by clearly defining the job
requirements and expectations. Conduct a thorough job
analysis to understand the skills, qualifications, and experience
needed for the position.
Create a Job Description: Develop a comprehensive job
description that outlines the job responsibilities, qualifications,
and any specific requirements. Ensure that it accurately
represents the role and its importance within the organization.
Budget Allocation: Determine the budget for the recruitment
process, including costs for advertising, assessments,
background checks, and any fees associated with external
recruitment agencies.
Recruitment Strategy: Develop a recruitment strategy that
includes a plan for where and how you will advertise the job
vacancy. Consider using multiple channels, such as your
company's website, job boards, social media, and industry-
specific platforms.
Application and Screening Process: Design the application
process, including the application form or portal, and establish
screening criteria to filter out unqualified candidates. Decide on
the tools and software you'll use for applicant tracking.
Interview and Assessment Methods: Define the interview
format (e.g., one-on-one, panel, video), questions, and
assessments (e.g., skills tests, personality assessments) that will
be used to evaluate candidates.
Selection Criteria: Establish clear criteria for candidate
selection, considering not only technical skills but also cultural
fit, values alignment, and potential for growth within the
organization.
Training for Interviewers: Ensure that interviewers and
assessors are trained in effective interview techniques,
including avoiding bias and discrimination. This helps in
conducting fair and consistent interviews.
Legal Compliance: Familiarize yourself with relevant
employment laws and regulations in your region to ensure that
the recruitment process adheres to legal requirements.
Candidate Experience: Plan for a positive candidate experience
throughout the recruitment process. This includes timely
communication, a respectful and transparent approach, and
feedback for candidates.
Technology and Tools: Evaluate and select the necessary
recruitment tools and technology, such as applicant tracking
systems (ATS), video conferencing software, and assessment
platforms.
Internal Coordination: Ensure that all internal stakeholders are
aligned and informed about the recruitment process, including
HR, hiring managers, and interviewers.
Diversity and Inclusion: Consider strategies for promoting
diversity and inclusion in your recruitment efforts. Ensure that
your job postings and processes are inclusive and accessible to
a wide range of candidates.
Contingency Planning: Have a plan in place for handling
unexpected situations, such as a sudden increase in
applications or the need to expedite the hiring process.
Documentation and Record-Keeping: Establish a system for
documenting each step of the recruitment process, including
interview notes, assessment results, and communication with
candidates.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement: After each
recruitment cycle, gather feedback from all involved parties to
identify areas for improvement and refine your recruitment
strategies and processes accordingly.
“Effective preparation in recruitment can lead to better hiring
decisions, a more efficient process, and a positive candidate
experience, ultimately contributing to the success of your
organization.”
PROCUREMENT
Procurement is the process of obtaining goods, services, or works
from external sources, typically for an organization or business. This
process involves a series of steps and activities aimed at obtaining
the necessary resources, ensuring value for money and adherence to
quality, legal and ethical standards. Procurement plays a key role in
the overall functioning and success of the organization, as it directly
affects costs, efficiency and the achievement of strategic goals.
KEY ELEMENTS AND STEPS INVOLVED IN
PROCESS OF PROCUREMENT:
• Identifying Needs: The first step in procurement is identifying
what goods or services are required. This involves understanding the
organization's needs, creating specifications, and determining
quantities.
• Supplier Selection: Organizations must choose suppliers or
vendors who can provide the required goods or services. This often
involves evaluating potential suppliers based on factors like price,
quality, reliability, and reputation.
• Sourcing: Sourcing involves reaching out to selected suppliers,
requesting quotes or proposals, and negotiating terms and
conditions. This phase is critical for securing favorable pricing and
contractual agreements.
• Contracting: Once a supplier is selected, a contract is typically
created. Contracts outline the terms and conditions of the
procurement, including pricing, delivery schedules, quality standards,
and legal responsibilities.
• Order Placement: After the contract is finalized, purchase
orders are issued to the chosen supplier(s). This formalizes the
agreement and initiates the delivery process.
• Receiving and Inspection: When the goods or services are
delivered, they are inspected to ensure they meet the specified
quality standards and match the order. Any discrepancies or issues
are addressed.
• Payment: Invoices are submitted by the supplier, and payments
are made based on the agreed-upon terms. Timely and accurate
payment is essential for maintaining good supplier relationships.
• Supplier Performance Evaluation: Continuous monitoring and
evaluation of supplier performance are essential to ensure that
suppliers meet their obligations in terms of quality, delivery, and
pricing. This feedback can be used to improve future procurement
decisions.
• Risk Management: Procurement involves various risks,
including supply chain disruptions, quality issues, and legal
compliance. Effective risk management strategies are important to
mitigate these risks.
• Compliance: Procurement activities must adhere to legal and
ethical standards, including regulations related to environmental
sustainability, labor practices, and anti-corruption measures.
• Supplier Relationship Management: Developing and
maintaining positive relationships with key suppliers is crucial for
long-term success. This includes communication, collaboration, and
addressing any issues that may arise.
• Cost Control: Procurement plays a significant role in managing
costs. Organizations often seek cost-effective solutions through
negotiations, bulk purchasing, and supplier performance
improvements.
“Effective procurement practices can result in cost savings, improved
operational efficiency, and enhanced product or service quality. It is
an essential function for organizations in both the public and private
sectors, and it requires careful planning, strategic decision-making,
and ongoing management to achieve successful outcomes”.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF PROCUREMENT:
SCOPE of Procurement:
• Sourcing Goods and Services: Procurement encompasses the
acquisition of a wide range of goods, services, and works, including
raw materials, office supplies, equipment, professional services, and
construction projects.
• Supplier Selection: Procurement involves identifying and
selecting suppliers or vendors based on criteria such as price, quality,
reliability, and other relevant factors.
• Contract Negotiation: Procurement professionals engage in
contract negotiations to secure favorable terms and conditions for
the organization. This may include price negotiations, delivery
schedules, and quality standards.
• Cost Management: Procurement plays a significant role in
managing costs through strategies like bulk purchasing, cost analysis,
and supplier performance improvement.
• Risk Management: Procurement teams assess and manage risks
associated with suppliers, supply chains, and market fluctuations to
minimize disruptions and ensure continuity of operations.
• Quality Assurance: Ensuring the quality and compliance of
purchased goods and services is a fundamental aspect of
procurement. This includes inspection and quality control processes.
• Legal and Ethical Compliance: Procurement must adhere to
various legal and ethical standards, including anti-corruption laws,
labor practices, environmental regulations, and industry-specific
regulations.
• Supplier Relationship Management: Building and maintaining
positive relationships with suppliers is essential for long-term
success. Effective communication, collaboration, and issue resolution
are part of this scope.
• Strategic Planning: Procurement is often involved in strategic
planning by providing insights and data on market trends, supplier
capabilities, and cost-saving opportunities.
• Market Research: Procurement teams conduct market research
to identify potential suppliers, assess market conditions, and stay
informed about industry developments.
Limitations of Procurement:
• Budget Constraints: Procurement is limited by the
organization's budgetary constraints. It must operate within
allocated funds, which can impact the ability to secure certain
resources or services.
• Resource Constraints: Limited resources such as personnel,
technology and time can limit the procurement function's ability to
effectively manage large acquisitions.
• Supplier Dependence: Over-reliance on a single supplier or a
small pool of suppliers can limit options and expose the organization
to risks if the supplier encounters issues.
• Market Volatility: Economic, geopolitical, and market-related
factors can affect the availability and pricing of goods and services,
impacting procurement decisions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Strict regulations and compliance
requirements in certain industries can limit the flexibility of
procurement processes and decision-making.
• Internal Policies: Organizational policies, procedures, and
hierarchies can sometimes create bureaucratic obstacles that slow
down the procurement process.
• Complexity of Goods or Services: Some goods or services may
be highly specialized or complex, making it challenging to find
suitable suppliers or negotiate favorable terms.
• Geographic Limitations: Geographic constraints can limit the
choice of suppliers, particularly for organizations that require
localized goods or services.
• Technology Constraints: Outdated or insufficient procurement
technology tools can limit the efficiency and effectiveness of
procurement processes.
• Market Competition: In highly competitive markets, securing
advantageous terms may be more challenging, and profit margins
may be narrower.
“Understanding the scope and limitations of procurement is essential
for procurement professionals and organizations to make informed
decisions, optimize processes, and effectively manage the acquisition
of goods and services while operating within constraints and
achieving organizational goals”.

My work on this Project
I had this opportunity to do my summer Internship in Tanvir Traders
for 45 Days. It was part of my master (Educational) program where I
had the opportunity to get experience and knowledge. As my major
in Human Resource Management, I have studied about Human
Resource Management. I have gathered information about various
tasks that were conducted by the recruitment and Procurement
management under Human resource division. I have studied about
the following rolls-
As I was an assistant HR so, I have to follow each actions made by the
supervisor. In the guidance of seniors I was given the opportunity to
do following jobs-
Posting job role on linkedin
Collecting Resumes
Screening Resumes
Preparing Call List
Re-verify the documentation
Calling the candidates from the list and briefing them about the
job profile
Scheduling the interview for the interested candidates
Interview Round
Fill the details of selected candidates on Excel sheet.
Forward the excel sheet to the supervisor.
I have also learnt about the some of the Procurement Process of the
company, such as the safety, Quality of the Raw material, dealing

internship in Human Resources (HR). An HR internship provides a
unique opportunity to gain practical experience and insights into the
field. Here are some key lessons you can learn from such an
internship:
Understanding HR Functions: An HR internship allows you to
see the various functions within HR, such as recruitment,
employee onboarding, training and development, performance
management, employee relations, and more. You'll gain a
comprehensive view of how HR contributes to an organization's

sourcing, interviewing, and selecting candidates for job
openings. This includes understanding how to write job
descriptions, conduct interviews, and assess candidates'
qualifications and fit for the organization.
Compliance and Legal Knowledge: HR is heavily regulated, and
an internship will teach you about labor laws, employment
regulations, and compliance requirements. Understanding
