Abstract: Recruitment process has become more competitive as the war for suitable talent is pervasive, especially in the Indian manufacturing sector. Job description, keywords available in the resume of candidates are found to be not efficient and effective indicators of job performance. It is also observed that for fulfilling the voluminous vacancies from the massive pool of applicant's resume repository, the 'keyword search'-based screening is not proved to be sufficient enough. In this context, the present study was conducted in one of the leading machine manufacturing units to identify ways to improve current recruitment and selection procedures. Most of the recent literature reviews proved that underlying behavioural capabilities are better indicators of job performance than knowledge and skill sets of an individual employee. Our quantitative findings also support the recent literature. Keeping this in mind, effectiveness of screening process competency-based resume screening is highlighted in this research. For competency-based resume, screening video resumes and priority matrix-based screening process is also recommended for improving the efficiency in recruitment and selection procedures.

Keywords: screening; job competency; competency-based resume screening; recruitment and selection; video resume; priority matrix. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
