The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that
prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed inprimitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of
life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the
concept of insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrialera past few centuries yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years.
The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business. From
44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 Crore, it rose to 176 companies with
total business-in-force as Rs.298 Crore in 1938. The Insurance Act 1938 was the firstlegislation governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict state
control over insurance business.
Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:
1818: Oriental Life Insurance Company, the first life insurance company on Indian soil startedfunctioning.
1870: Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian life insurance company started
its business.
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life
insurance business.
1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect
statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective
of protecting the interests of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies are taken over by the centralgovernment and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a
capital contribution of Rs. 5 Crore from the Government of India.
The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton
Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 inCalcutta by the British.
Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:
1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company to transact all classes of
general insurance business.
1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames a code
of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency marginsand the Tariff Advisory Committee set up.
1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the
General insurance business in India with effect from 1st January 1973.
With largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance happens to be a
mega opportunity in India. Its a business growing at the rate of 15-20 per cent annually andpresently is of the order of Rs 450 billion. Together with banking services, it adds about 7 per
cent to the countrys GDP. Gross premium collection is nearly 2 per cent of GDP and funds
available with LIC for investments are 8 per cent of GDP.
Yet, nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance cover while healthinsurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. And this part of
the population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any old
age income security. This itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector isimmense.
A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic development as it
provides long term funds for infrastructure development and at the same time strengthens the
risk taking ability. It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require investmentsof the order of one trillion US dollar. The Insurance sector, to some extent, can enable
investments in infrastructure development to sustain economic growth of the country.
India came a full circle from being an open competitive market to nationalization and back to a
liberalized market again. Tracing the developments in the Indian insurance sector reveals the360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two centuries.
Present Scenario
The Government of India liberalized the insurance sector in March 2000 with the passage of
the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill, lifting all entry restrictionsfor private players and allowing foreign players to enter the market with some limits on direct
foreign ownership.
The opening up of the sector is likely to lead to greater spread and deepening of insurance in
India and this may also include restructuring and revitalizing of the public sector companies. Inthe private sector 14 life insurance and 8 general insurance companies have been registered. A
host of private Insurance companies operating in both life and non-life segments have started
selling their insurance policies..
Life Insurance Market
The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that was only tapped by the
state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The penetration of life insurance products
7/27/2019 Recruitment project on life insurance co.
12/87

was 19 percent of the total 400 million of the insurable population. The state owned LIC soldinsurance as a tax instrument, not as a product giving protection. Most customers were under-
insured with no flexibility or transparency in the products. With the entry of the private
insurers the rules of the game have changed.
The 12 private insurers in the life insurance market have already grabbed nearly 9 percent ofthe market in terms of premium income. The new business premiums of the 12 private players
have tripled to Rs 1000 Crore in 2002- 03 over last year. Innovative products, smart marketing
and aggressive distribution. That's the triple whammy combination that has enabled fledglingprivate insurance companies to sign up Indian customers faster than anyone ever expected.
Indians, who have always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now suddenly turning
to the private sector and snapping up the new innovative products on offer.
The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways- they are persuading people totake out bigger policies. Buoyed by their quicker than expected success, nearly all private
insurers are fast- forwarding the second phase of their expansion plans.

REASERCH METHODOLOGY
The insurance sector is marked with a high level of attrition and therefore recruitment
process becomes a crucial function of the organization. At AEGON Religare Life Insurance,
recruitment is all time high during March-May and Oct-Nov. The attrition is high among the
sales managers, unit mangers mostly in the sales profile. The recruitment is high during these
months due to the fact that May and September are half year closing and business is high
during Jan-Mar. Thus it is only after March that people move out of the companies.
Since my summer training was in the months of March-May, it gave me the opportunity
of involving myself directly with the recruitment process and analyzing the process so that
suitable recommendations can be given. This project is centered on identifying best hiring
practices in the insurance industries. It therefore requires great amount of research work. The
methodology adopted was planned in advance so as to collect data in the most organized way.
My area of focus was the recruitment and selection particularly at AEGON Religare
Life Insurance. I was directly involved with the recruitment for candidates for the sales profile.
I was particularly involved with the sourcing of candidates for the regions in Gujarat such as
Surat, Baroda, Anand and Ahmedabad.
Before any task was undertaken, we were asked to go through the HR policies of
AEGON Religare Life Insurance so that we get a better understanding of the process followed
by them.
The first task was to understand the various job profiles for which recruitment was to be
done.
The next step was to explore the various job portals to search for suitable candidates for
the job profile.
Once the search criteria were put, candidates went through a telephonic interview to
validate the information mentioned in their resume.
A candidate matching the desired profile was then lined for the first round of Face to Face
interview in their respective cities.

When a candidate cleared his first round, he is then made to take an aptitude test.
I was involved in administering the test
Once the candidate completed his first assessment, his scores were checked. If he cleared
his cut-off he was given another test.
I had the responsibility to make sure that candidates complete all formalities and had to
regularly follow up with them.
Since we received many resumes, it was essential that a database be maintained to keep a
track. It was convenient method than to stock up piles of papers.
The external guide maintained a regular updating of the database.
Understanding what kinds of database are maintained and how they help in keeping a
record.

1: Attract highly qualified and competent people
2: Ensure thats the selected candidate stays longer with the company.
3: Make sue that there is match between cost and benefit.
4: Helps the organization to create more culturally diverse workforce
Whereas, the poor quality of selection means extra cost on training and supervision.
Further on more, when recruitment fails to meet organizational needs for talent, a
Typically response is to raise entry level pay scales. This can distort traditional wages
and salary relationship in organization, resulting in unavoidable consequences. Thus the
effectiveness of the recruitment process can play a major role in determining the
resources that must be expended on other HR activates and their ultimate success.

higher level of jobs due to availability of most suitable candidates for jobs relatively or equally

relatively at the lower level owing to the availability of suitable candidates or trade union
pressures or in order to motivate them on present job.
3. Retrenched or Retired Employees: Employees retrenched due to lack of work are given
employment by the organization due to obligation, trade union pressure etc. Sometimes they

function with a view to developing the commitment and loyalty of not only the employee but
also his family members.
5. Employee Referrals: Present employees are well aware of the qualifications, attitudes,
experience and emotions of their friends and relatives. They are also aware of the job

7/27/2019 Recruitment project on life insurance co.

Th e o b j e c tiv e s the o r y views that the process of organizational choice as being one of
weighing and evaluating set of measurable characteristic of employment offers, such
pay, benefits , location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of job to performed,
and education opportunities.
Whereas, the c r itical c o n ta c t the o r y suggests that the typical candidates is unable to
make a meaningful differentiation of organization's offers in terms of objective or
subjective factors, because of his limited or very short contact with the organization.
Choice can be made only when applicant can readily perceive the factors such as the
behaviour of the recruiters, the nature of the physical facilities, and such as the
efficiency in processing paper work association with the application.
On the other hand, the s ubj e c tive theo ry emphasizes the congruence. Here the
choices are made on highly personal and emotional basis.
Recruit ment Pro c ess

PHILSOPHIES OF RECRUITEMT
Basically there are two Philosophies of recruitment. These are as follows:
1: REALISTI C JOB PREVI EWS (RJ P)
Realistic Job Previews provides complete job related information to the applicants so that
they can make the right decision before taking up the jobs. It includes positive and the
negative aspects of the job.
2: J OB C O MPA T I B I L I TY Q U EST I O NN A I R E: (JCQ)
Job compatibility Questionnaire was developed to determine whether an applicants
preference for the work match the characteristic of the job. The JCQ is designed to collect
information on all aspects of the job which have a bearing in on employee performance
.absenteeism, turnover and job satisfaction. The underlying assumption of JCQ is that,
greater the compatibility between an applicants preference for the job and characteristic
of the job as perceived by the job seeker, the greater the probability of employee
effectiveness and longer the tenure.

SELECTION
7/27/2019 Recruitment project on life insurance co.
55/87
SELECTION
Selection is a negative process and involves the elimination of candidates who do not
have the required skills and qualification for the job proposed. Also it is a process of
differentiating between applicants in order to identify and hire those with grater
likelihood of success in job.
The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully
perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. It is the system of function and
devise adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidates specifications are
matched with the job specifications and recruitment or not.
Selection process or activities typically follow a standard patter, beginning with an initial
screening interview and concluding with final employment decision. The traditional
selection process includes: preliminary screening interview, completion of application
form, employment test, comprehensive interview, background investigation, physical
examination and final employment decision to hire.
7/27/2019 Recruitment project on life insurance co.
56/87
Organization for selection
Until recently the basic hiring process was performed in a rather unplanned manner in
many organizations. In some companies, each department screened and hired its own
employees. Many mangers insisted on screening their own employees as they thought no
one else could do that as efficiently as they themselves.
But now selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This
type of arrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages:
- It is easier for the application because they can send their applications to a single
centralized department.
- It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can
be cleared through one central location.
- It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities. This
is especially helpful during the chief hiring period.
- It can provide for better selection because hiring is done by specialist trained in
staffing techniques.- The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs.
- Hiring cost is cut because duplication of efforts is reduced.
- With increased governmental regulation on selection process, it is important that
people who know about these rules handle a major part of the selection process.
Ideally, a selection process involves mutually decision making. The organization
decides whether or not to make a job offer and how attractive the job offer should be.

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE SELETION
The main objective of selection process is to hire people having competence and
commitment towards the given job profile. But due to some reason the main purpose of
effectively selecting candidates is defeated. These reasons are:
1: P erception o r the H a lo e f fec t: Many a times the interviewer selects a
candidate according to the perception he has or he made up while talking or
looking at the individual. This way he does not see through the caliber or the
efficiency of the individual and many times it leads to the selection of the wrong
candidates.
2: F a irn e s s: During the selection process the interviewer does not select the
individual on the basis of his knowledge and hence the right type of the candidates is not
selected.
3: P re s s ure: The people from the HR department and also have a lot of pressure
from the top management and from other top class people for selecting the candidates
they want. This ways the purpose of effective selection process of effective selection
process is defeated as they have to select that individual whether or not he is capable of
the job. that is being offered.

ESSENTIAL OF SELECTION PROCEDURE

employees to be selected.
