practices, specifically Recruitment and Selection, and find its strategic link in
an organization named DESCON CHEMICAL PRIVATE LIMITED.
First of all, brief history and overview of the company is given; followed by the
details of the products and services provided by DESCON Chemicals. Then an
introduction to the Human Resource Development Department is given. Then
comes the discussion about the structure and design issues of HR department
at DCH. After that, an overview of the main functions of HR at DCH is given.
Then our core topic of interest i-e recruitment and selection; which is solely

INTRODUCTION
The objective of Human Resource management is to achieve a high level of
return on an organization's investment in people. For many organizations
people are the only, or the most expensive, asset upon which the success of
the enterprise is dependent.
Although most organizations realize the importance of this asset, some have
not put into place the infrastructure components required to manage people in
the same manner in which other assets are managed. Financial, capital, and
information resources, for example, are managed with careful planning,
monitoring, replacement, or upgrading. Often the same cannot be said for how
an organization's Human Resources are managed.
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
8/38

DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
In order to manage and nurture Human Resources, planning is required to
establish a framework in which this valuable asset will be employed. This
includes identification of objectives, values, principles, and practices to guide
the organization in its use of people. Within this framework the infrastructure
components to give managers the skills and guidelines to apply sound
management principles and practices are developed.
It is too simplistic to say that strategic human resource management stems
from the business strategy. The two must be mutually informative. The way in
which people are managed, motivated and deployed, and the availability of
skills and knowledge will all shape the business strategy.

istreated as a separate department and it works independently.

STRATEGIC LINK OF HR DEPARTMENT
"As strategies involve decisions about key goals, major policies and the
allocation of resources they tend to be formulated at the top."
That was a statement given by one of the HR executive at DESCON.
Much emphasis has been put on the importance of fit. In other words, what
we have observed by interviewing HR executives working in DESCON that they
believe that HR strategies must fit both with each other and with other
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
16/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
organizational strategies for maximum impact. The main areas of practice
which all the HR executives agreed, have an impact on performance, are
around job design and skills development.
We were surprised to know that some where in Pakistan, HRM is being givensuch importance. We have observed that HR department is continuously
performing all its tasks in coordination with all other departments at DESCON.
As far as strategies are concerned, its obvious that they are highly confidential
for any organizations, and we cannot have access to them. So we cannot say
anything regarding this issue that how well the HR department is taking part in
it. But the way they are coordinating with all other departments and executive
with in the company is exemplary.
We have seen that they are spending a lot on the improvement and
development of their HR department. Recently they have outsourced an HR
consultancy executive Ms. Amara Bashir, from abroad on a very high salary for
there company, and her major task is to renew the HR policies according to
the needs of today. Well that is a great effort.
Basically the HEAD OF CHEMICAL BUSINESS AREA i-e Mr. Taimur Dawood
himself strongly believes on innovation and change and he always welcoming
towards adopting new technologies and new concept to meet market needs
and to compete globally.
RECRUITMENT & SELECTION (R&S)
Recruitment and Selection of the right candidate considering the vision,
mission and strategy of the organization, is the most significance of all. The
process of figuring out in advance what kinds of people and skills will be
needed in the future is one of the major strategic steps that this organization
takes to successfully recruit employees.

People are the most important resource of any business. Often stated, but
seldom totally believed, organizations will learn this important fact. Your
biggest challenge will be attracting and retaining a superior workforce. Your
HR staff members are key players in recruiting and retaining staff. They are
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
20/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
the heart of helping any organization form a positive, employee and customer-
oriented culture.
Strategic review of recruitment and
selection
MAKE OR BUY DECISION:
This decision is completely situation based. There are times when they needpeople who are less-skilled, in order to train them according to their own
requirements. But this is done at operational level usually. Managerial staff is
never hired by keeping this theory in mind. At managerial level they hire
qualified people through a proper recruitment and selection process. As far as
training is concerned, they do organize training programs with in their
organization or send their employees on trainings within the country as well as
outside the country, for their development according to the need of their
organization.
BUDGET:
We did not get the exact ratio, as it is confidential, but according to our own
analysis, most of the budget in HR department is allocated to recruitment and
selection. They spent heavy amounts on advertisements. In the pervious year
they even participated in a ROZEE job fair that was held in Pearl Continental in
Lahore. Right now they are concentrating a lot on EMPLOYER BRANDING i-e
making there organization a place where people want to work. And for this
they are spending a lot.
TECHNOLOGICAL SOPHISTICATION:
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
21/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
Computerized resume scanning and tracking systems have made it easier for
DESCON to find the right person for the job. R&S executive in HR department
scan resumes into the system and creates applicants resumes BANK. When
managers from different departments requests for an employee provided with
specific job requirements , the R&S executive searches the database and
shortlist the applicants which suits the most with the given requirements. Then
further tests and interviews are conducted for selection.
INTERNAL VS EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT
Hiring within the organization and hiring outside the organization, both
activities are currently being done in DESCON CHEMICALS. How ever much
hiring is done from the big applicant pool generated from outside the
organization.
INTERNAL RECRUITMENT METHOD BEING USED AT DESCON
Internal recruitment and selection is done by managers and supervisors. No
concepts of job posting and job bidding is there and we think that these
methods are a bit complex for the organization and in doing so will restrictbringing new ideas and creativity in the organization.

SELECTION PROCESS AT DESCON
TESTS FOR SELECTION:
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
23/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
Three major tests are conducted at DESCON for applicants who are shortlisted
by recruitment. In order to qualify for an interview the candidate must secure
at least 60% marks in each of them.
1. IQ TEST
Its a sort of an intelligence test which is divided into three parts. The
mathematical part, the general knowledge part and the English
grammar part.
2. TECHNICAL TEST
Its a test whish includes question regarding a particular field in which a
candidate has applied. For example, for hiring a chemist a technical test
is based on concepts of chemistry.
3. FITNESS TEST
Its a test which is just for hiring people at operational level. Managerialhiring just requires medical fitness certificate.
INTERVIEWS FOR SELECTION:
Interviewing a candidate before his/her final selection is considered the most
important step in DESCON. Three main interviews are conducted for this
purpose:
Unstructured interview:
An initial interview is taken by R&S executive at DESCON. Its major purpose is
to make the applicant comfortable and to create a welcoming and friendly
atmosphere for him/her.
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
24/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
Semi structured interview:
An interview taken by the HEAD of HR department, to check the candidates
mind set that whether he/she is a right fit for the organization and to know
that what is the candidate expecting from the organization. The questions
asked are usually situation based or behavior describing questions.
Structured interview:
A proper structured interview is then conducted which is more like a panel
interview in which the HR HEAD, HEAD of the particular department ( who
needs an employee) and the supervisor under whom the employee will be
working sits together and ask technical questions regarding a particular field.
REFFERENCE CHECKING:
In some cases the HR department asks a selected employee for a list of
references, that may include previous supervisors or coworkers.

CONCLUSIONS
In the majority of organizations people are now the biggest asset. The
knowledge, skills and abilities have to be deployed and used to the maximum
effect if the organization is to create value.
DCH has emerged as a leading organization of the country because of its
quality work and services and professional excellence. DCH has also made a
good name for itself and for the country internationally. The office culture and
environment prevailing at DESCON Chemicals Headquarter is really very good.
The mutual respect and coordination prevailing among the employees is
remarkable. DESCON is a modern organization that keeps pace with the
changes taking place in its external environment; and this is probably the
secret of its success.
RECOMMENDATIONS
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
26/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
DCH has been fortunate to establish such a remarkable repute among all the
stakeholders. It should keep doing quality work to maintain this repute, which
is its most valuable asset.
There should be a separate personnel department which should handle all the
filing stuff business so that HR department can spend more time working for
the betterment of people working in DESCON CHEMICALS.
The job satisfaction is somewhat low among the employees as is normally the
case with the large organizations. HR department should work to find out its
causes and try to increase the employees job satisfaction. This will certainly
have a positive impact on the employee productivity and on their image as
employer too, which carries great importance for any organization.
The employee participation in decision making should be increased. This will
not only help to increase the job satisfaction among the employees but can
also help in making better decisions for the progress of the company.
As far as Recruitment & Selection is concerned, we feel they are continuously
upgrading the R&S system. But its been 3 months that Mr. Jibran who was the
R&S executive there, had resigned and Miss. Saadia Sharif (the Training &
Development executive) is handling the R&S function. So they should
immediately hire R&S executive.
We have mixed feelings about what many companies call strategic planning
but creating an overall direction for a company, office, or work group is
necessary for success. People need to feel as if they are part of something
bigger than themselves. At the same time, they need clear direction to know
what "bigger thing" they are part of. So DCH should consider this thing and
should make people feel like the y are important.
It is useful for all organizations to management their people within a planned
and coherent framework which reflect the business strategy.
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
27/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
There is not single HRM strategy that will deliver success in all situations.
Organizations need to define a strategy which is unique to their own situation
in terms of context, goals, and the demands of organizational stakeholders.
_____________
We need to reinvent the field of HR in our HR educational
programs and in our businesses. HR needs to be more strategic to gain a seat
at the proverbial table, and we need to be more business-oriented. However,
7/31/2019 SHRAM Project
28/38
34
DESCON CHEMICAL PVT LIMITED
the whole HR community must invest to educate, certify, and mentor HR
professionals, or we will never see this industry gain the respect it deserves.
We can reinvent the field of HR and so we should!
