Activity 3

This section describes the selection procedure for the present vacant posts. The process can be as per the following:

1. The process will start by attracting the pool of candidates from various sources. This can be done through newspaper advertisements, advertisements in job portals, advertisements via recruitment agencies, and the connection of existing employees.
2. Upon receipt of the profiles of candidates, a primary screening needs to be done to shortlist the candidates to be examined. This process can be done based on the educational qualification and experience of the candidates.
3. Once the candidates are shortlisted, they will be called for an assessment process, which may comprise of technical and behavioral interviews. Parameters and scores for the interviews will have to be different, as they will be focused on two different aspects of the candidates.
4. Once the scores of both the interviews are calculated, then based on that score matrix, the ideal candidates will be given the offer. Firstly, the offer should be given verbally, and if the candidate accepts the offer, then the formal offer letter should be given to the candidate. There will be a maximum of two waitlisted candidates for every post.
5. Once the candidate accepts the offer formally, then the required paperwork should be done for the onboard of the candidate. If the first candidate rejects the offer, the offer should be carry forwarded to the first waitlisted candidate.

3. Sales team leader for the sales and marketing team: For this particular position, along with the verbal and non-verbal communication skills, leadership skill is the most important one.
