A STUDY ON RECRUITMENT & SELECTION OF MAN-POWER IN EXPORT CONCERN LOCATED IN TIRUPPUR DISTRICT

Abstract

The recruitment and selection of human capital constitute the foundational architecture of organizational success, particularly within the highly competitive and volatile garment export sector. This research report provides a comprehensive analysis of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices within the Tiruppur textile district, known globally as the "Knitwear Capital of India." Leveraging both primary survey data and secondary longitudinal research from 2024 to 2026, the study investigates the efficacy of various sourcing strategies, selection tools, and manpower planning models. The analysis explores the transition from traditional recruitment methods—such as employee referrals and physical gate posters—to modern, technology-driven approaches involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital onboarding. Furthermore, the report examines the critical role of "Awareness Sharing Behavior" and "Green HRM" in fostering organizational capability and sustainability. A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to the contemporary challenges facing the cluster, including the socio-economic impacts of US tariff hikes, geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, and the resultant labor scarcity. The findings suggest that while internal recruitment provides cost-effective stability, the integration of structured interviewing techniques and predictive HR analytics is essential for navigating the complexities of the global supply chain. The report concludes with strategic recommendations for enhancing employee retention and organizational resilience in a shifting international trade landscape..
