Chapter–6Findings


FINDINGSOFTHEREPORT

 

 

 

1.  Recruitment and Hiring Process

During the internship, I had the opportunity to closely observe and analyseLernx's current recruitment strategies. The company follows a traditional approach to recruitment, relying primarily on job postings across job boards and social media platforms for sourcing candidates. However, there are several areas where improvements could be made:

·         Strengths:

 

o     Therecruitmentteamisproactiveinpostingjobadvertisementsandensuring positions are visible across multiple platforms.

o     Candidatesourcingthroughreferralsisactivelyencouraged,leadingtoa higher-quality candidate pool.

o     TheHR teamisresponsive,ensuring quickcommunication with candidates.

 

·         ChallengesandAreasforImprovement:

 

o     Narrow Sourcing Channels: The company relies heavily on a limited numberofjobboards,whichrestrictsaccesstoadiversepoolofcandidates. Expanding sourcing channels, including niche platforms, LinkedIn groups, and talent networks, could help widen the candidate search.

o     Manual ResumeScreening:Theprocess ofmanually screening resumes is time-consuming and prone to human error. Implementing an Applicant TrackingSystem(ATS)couldimproveefficiencybyautomatingtheresume screening process and identifying the best candidates more effectively.

o     Candidate Engagement: While communication with candidates is consistent, there is room for improvement in maintaining engagement, especiallywithcandidateswhoarenotshortlisted.Personalizedfeedbackand


 

updates on the hiring process can enhance candidate experience and brand image.

2.  Interview and Selection Process

·         Strengths:

 

o     The interview panel consists of HR professionals and department heads, ensuring that the candidates are assessed from both a skills and cultural fit perspective.

o     Behaviouralandtechnicalinterviewsareconducted,ensuringawell-rounded evaluation of candidates’ qualifications.

·         Challenges and Areas for Improvement:

 

o     Inconsistent Interviewer Preparation: While interviewers are skilled, the lack of standardization in the interview process leads to variability in candidateassessments.Providinginterviewguideswithstructuredquestions could help ensure a consistent experience across all candidates.

o     LackofDataAnalytics:Currently,thereisminimaluseofdataanalyticsto measuretheeffectivenessoftheinterviewprocessortrackrecruitmentKPIs (e.g., time-to-hire, cost-per-hire).

o     Paperwork: A significant amount of paperwork is required, which can be overwhelmingfornewemployees.Shiftingtodigitalplatformsfordocument submission could streamline the process and enhance efficiency.

o     Training Programs: The training programs are adequate but can be more structured. Providing clear timelines and expectations for each training module, along with post-training assessments, would ensure better knowledge retention and quicker productivity.

o     Employee Feedback: Regular follow-ups with new employees post- onboarding are not consistently done. Introducing a formal feedback mechanism can help HR track the effectiveness of the onboarding process and identify areas for improvement.

4.  TechnologyIntegration

The organization’s recruitment and onboarding processes rely heavily on manual methods, with limited integration of technology tools. This presents an opportunity for substantial improvement.

·         Strengths:

 

o     Thereis abasicuse ofspreadsheets and emails to track candidate status and communication, which works for smaller-scale recruitment but may not be scalable.

o     HR professionals are highly skilled in managing administrative tasks manually.


 

·         OpportunitiesforImprovement:

 

o     Applicant Tracking System (ATS): Implementing an ATS would significantly improve the recruitment process by automating resume screening, candidate communications, and interview scheduling.

o     Onboarding Software: A more structured onboarding platform can centralize training materials, company policies, and employee data. Tools such as Work Bright or BambooHR can help automate the onboarding workflow and improve new hire engagement.

o     Interview Assessment Tools: The use of AI-driven tools for resume screeningorcandidatepre-assessmentcouldreducethetimespentonmanual reviews, allowing HR to focus on higher-value tasks like candidate engagement.
