Organization of a dairy farm:
There are many activities involved in successful running of a dairy farm .
many one of these activities is as important as any other for profitable dairy farming
coordination of all these activities in a dairy farm is known as organization of the
dairy farm.
Management of Animals:
These successes of dairy depend upon the good health and well being of the
cow and buffaloes maintained in the dairy and their production. The various aspects to
be considered are:
Housing
Feeding
Breeding
Disease control.
Management of Labour:
Labour is becoming costly and scarce and hence organization is becoming more
difficult. The farm should be so planned that it shall be possible to completely manage
with family labour. Hired labour should be minimum and used only for such
operations as sowing, harvesting etc.,
Management of milk and milk products:
The profitability of a dairy depends upon the farm in which the milk is
disposed of. Fluid milk money than milk products. Selling in cities fetches more
money than in smaller towns. Milk transported to longer distances may cost more on
transport.
Record Keeping:
Record keeping is important in a dairy which will enable us to know that
actual position of the dairy in all aspects to enable us to plan properly record may
pertain to all aspects of dairying viz, feeding breeding and management.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The recruitment and selection is the major function of the Human Resource
department and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive
strength and the strategic advantage for the organizations. Recruitment process
involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidate to arranging and
conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time.
MEANING OF RECRUITMENT
The objective of the recruitment process is to obtain the number and quality of
employees that can be selected in order to help the organization to achive its goals and
objectives. With the same objective, recruitment helps to create a pool of prospective
employees for the organization so that the management can select the right candidate
for the right job from this pool. Recruitment acts as link between the employers and
the job seekers and ensures the placement of right candidate at the right place at the
right time. Using and following the right recruitment process can facilitate the
selection of the best candidates for the organization.
• Attract and encourage more and more candidates to apply in the organization.
• Create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of best candidates for
the organization.
29
• Determine present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction
with its personnel planning and job analysis activates.
• Recruitment is the process which links the employers with the employees.
• Help reduce the probability that job applicants once recruited and selected will
leave the organization only after a short period of time.
• Meet the organizations legal and social obligations regarding the composition
of its workforce.

• Do they fit with the organization’s strategic and business plans?
31
• What are the legislative requirements?
Recruitment:
The local paper is only one way of recruiting, other options include:
• Existing networks and word of mouth advertising are cheap and effective
Advertising:
Contact details
You must not break anti-discrimination laws and job advertisements must be
clear and truthful
Selecting staff:
You need a good quality selection criteria and an informed and organized
interview panel Short listing candidates will save lots of time.
Questions you ask at the interview must be consistent for all applicants and the
questions must relate to the position. You can ask about existing injuries if it is
relevant to the position, but be careful-obviously they have to be able to do the job
however it is illegal to discriminate on the grounds of disabilities.
Reference Checks:
Obviously you will ask if people can do the job to the ability they claim and
it’s still an important process. It is also a good time to find out what are things that
motivate your potential employee and what de-motivates them.
Induction:
This is really good time to get to know your staff personally, so use it as a time
for them to not only get to know the organization but for you to get to know them a
bit better. It is vital you give your employee induction into OH&S policies and
procedure. Other policies and procedures need to be covered but OH&S is absolutely
essential!
Use the probation period to identify the strengths of your new worker as well
as the areas they will benefit from extra training.It is easier to train the right person
for the position than change poor attitude or work habits even if the person is highly
skilled!It is important to know whether the training or professional development has
actually benefited the individual and the organization.
Performance Appraisals:
Usually performance appraisals are done at the end of the probation period and
then annually. It is important the employee feels supported during this time so make
sure you have some positives as well as negative to discuss. Break the position down
into differing tasks and offer clear examples of the employee’s strengths and areas to
be improved.
Moving On:
No matter how good a boss you might be, people do need to move on. Make
sure you have some strategies to retain the corporate knowledge – it could be records
books, on line logs or any other record keeping strategy.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its
recruitment processes from two kinds of Sources:
• Internal Source
• External Source
INTERNAL SOURCE:
The Sources within the organization itself (like transfer of employees from one
department to other, promotions) to fill a position are know as the internal Sources of
recruitment.
EXTERNAL SOURCES:
Recruitment candidates from all the other Sources (like outsourcing agencies
etc.) are known as the external Sources of recruitment.
SOURCES OF
Internal External
• Transfers • Press advertisements
• Promotions • Educational institutes
• Upgrading • Placement agencies/
• Demotion outsourcing
• Retired Employees • Employment exchanges
• Retrenched Employees • Labour contractors
• Dependents and • Unsolicited applicants
relatives of deceased • Employee referrals
• TRANSFERS
• PROMOTIONS
The employees are promoted from one department to another with more
benefits and greater responsibility based on efficiency and experience.
EXTERNAL SOURCES
PRESS ADVERTISEMENTS
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES
LABOUR CONTRACTORS
UNSOLICITED APPLICANTS
Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such
callers are considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can
help in creating the talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the
organization.
Unskilled workers may be recruited at the factory gate these may be employed
where never a permanent worker is absent. More efficient among these may be
recruited to fill permanent vacancies.
INTERNAL FACTORS
The internal forces i.e. the factors wich can be controlled by the organization are:
1. RECRUITMENT POLICY
ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
3.COST
EXTERNAL FACTORS
The external forces are the forces which cannot be controlled by the organization.
a. LABOUR MARKET
b. IMAGE / GOODWILL
d. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
One of the factors that influence the availability of applicants is the growth of the
economy When the company is not creating new jobs, there is often oversupply of
qualified labour which in turn leads to unemployment.
2. COMPETITORS
The recruitment policies of the competitors also effect the recruitment function
of the organizations. To face the completion, many a times the organizations
have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being
followed by the competitors.
• Process analysis – the immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the
main concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should by flexible,
adaptive and responsive to the immediate requirements. The recruitment
process should also be cost effective.
Every candidate for the job has to clear a number of hurdles before getting
selected for the job. If he is not found suitable at any stage, he is not considered for
the further stage. Thus, he will be rejected. For instance, if a candidates’s particulars
in the application ae not found suitable, he will not be called for the tests. Similarly, if
a candidate fails in the tests, he will not be called for the interview. The following is a
popular procedure through it may be modified to suit individual situation:
• A sell conducted interview to explore the facts and get at the attitudes of the
applicant and his family to the job;
• A physical examination ---- health and stamina are vital factors in success;
