Progressive company gets Recruiting Managers and HR working together to revolutionise the way they recruit.


  Managers and HR at Tata Projects Limited joined forces to align to the same goal - effective recruitment.

The first set of participants
Part of the process for enhancing organisational performance is to ensure you recruit/select people most likely to be “winners” in their specific role. Unfortunately, in many companies, even experienced interviewers do not understand the determinants of high performance, so end up recruiting on the basis of skills, knowledge, qualifications, and experience. As has been proved, time and again, these elements are far from adequate.

Getting it right more often requires an almost totally new way of defining the needs of the job and also understanding how to interview in a way that obtains valuable information about the candidate’s strengths against these needs.

Success in this venture also demands a team approach between managers and HR to ensure they are both looking for, and assessing, the same vital attributes.

This what the two-day Recruiting Winners Workshop was planned to help the two sets of participants groups achieve. Although the workshops were in early November, the participants have already started implementing the new ideas with enthusiasm. Now we are all watching and waiting to see what their efforts will achieve.

The second set of participants
 Tata Projects Limited (TPL) was established in 1979 as an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Company in the Engineering Sector of the Tata Group. It is one of the earliest and very few Indian EPC companies which have acquired the triple certifications of ISO 9001, 14001 & OHSAS 18001. Today, TPL is one of the leading EPC Companies in India.
As a part of its corporate sustainability TPL serves the community in the areas of employability skill development, primary education, safe drinking water and health. In line with the Tata Group philosophy, it also takes up Affirmative Action initiatives.
