Thanks a million, Caltex!!!

Awesome piece of info.

I'm doing a project research: "A study on the impact of temporary staffing in an organized workforce." Can you help me in framing the questionnaire? I have some in my mind. But what will be the critical questions that can bring about a radical interpretation?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi friends, I am Archana. I am studying pharmaceutical management. Please help me understand what exactly is the recruitment and selection process.

Can anybody help me with attachments for my project on "Recruitment and Selection in Consultancy"?

Great work, thanks buddies. Could anyone fill me in on the background of what personnel management is, and how HRM both compares with and differs from personnel management? This is what I need for my studies. So, if anyone can write to jana22s2@hotmail.com, I'll be grateful to you. Thank you.

Hi, I am working on a dissertation on recruitment and selection. Could you please assist me with that or share your project on recruitment and selection via email? Thank you.

Where is the demarcation line between recruitment and selection process:

It is observed that an MNC is collecting all sorts of information on the Date of Interview. And once the Interview is cracked, the HR immediately asks the documents from the successful candidates. The HR has no intention of selecting all the successful candidates but will shortlist among those candidates after the HR Rounds. (Or may not select anyone, based on the urgency of the requirement)

My query being - even before issuing the Offer Letter, is the company 'legally authorized' to collect copies of documents like PAN Card, Passport, ITR, Salary Breakup/Slips, Previous Company's Appointment/Appraisal Letter, Education Certificates, Form-16, Organization ID, and more importantly the 'Information Release Form' that authorizes the company to conduct verification on me, without me yet being a part of the company. There are many other less intimidating personal pieces of information like Marital Status, phone numbers of Families/References, Address, etc.

I would like to emphasize again that the info is collected WITHOUT an Offer, and purely on a 'candidacy' basis just after the Interview process.

I believe it is not ethical to database the personal information of people who are not a part of the company. However, I am interested in the legality of it.
