recruitment - Cast diffrentiation!!

Payal Jhunjhunwala

Dear All,

I have a friend in HR who is facing a problem.. He is located in the north Indian territory and facing an issue of caste based recruitments. This is leading to loads of political involvement and inflow of candidates who do not fit into the job! Its a large org. but is helpless to stop this practice!
Also, my friend is now facing the political leaders pressures to take their ref.
Pl' advice.

Dear Payal,

Greetings for the day!!!

Could you pls confirm the industry and state where organisation is situated??
If i m not wrong then it happens only in the case of project sites in tribal area or where some labour unions are working.

Payal,
This can happen anywhere in India or even in foreign countries.There cant be a clear cut answer to this question. ultimately one has to manage, select the best by sam, dam , dund and bhed.Consul t the seniors also, put them in the front when one has to say NO.One has to be clever. Remember how our BABUS manage, if people are trying to manipulate your friend has to do the same.Your friend has to remember ABCD principle.

Dear Payal,

The same problem we were facing since long. later on we are able to manage it. In this, some front key members of the Union/group are playing a crucial role. You have to play a win-win situation for both. in our case, we had counsel the key members of the union and hold an negotiation with them that 20% of the whole recruitment will be of their's. Remains from outside as our wish.

Now the question comes, how can u bifurcate the 20% and 80%. From the beginning make a list of their people and divide them on the basis of their skills and competences. First try to pick the good skills out of them which can somewhat strengthen you in your recruitment process. Time to time update the status to the key members in a friendly way, so that, they should not feel that some thing is going on without their concern.

Payal,

If your friend is being facing rascial abuse & if he has proof for it then he can sue the company or else there is little can be done. This is every where.

Dear All,

Thanks for the response. But here the problem is in a critical stage now. When my friend opposed or tried to put forth the facts of the recruited candidates and their quality, his managers behaviour went sour and now his job is at stake. Now the situation is that even political leaders are involved actively in this and things have started to worsen. He has already started to look out for another job.
I guess its better to move on in such situation rather than being trapped in political webs!
Pl' share your thoughts too.

Rgds,
Payal.
