TOPIC: “How do Multinational Companies improve the Recruitment, Selection and
Training of their Employees to meet International Requirements?”
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation refers to the integration of the markets towards which the businesses and
other organisations start operating on an international level. It refers to the integration and the
coordination among the individuals, companies and the government worldwide and leads to
integration of world wide economy. Moreover business organisation should improve their
recruitment. Selection and training programmes so attract prospective candidates towards the
business and assist towards working in effective manner. This research is based on on the case
study of Nestle company which is the large food and confectionery company established in 1866,
headquartered in Switzerland. This report will throw highlights on improving the recruitment,
selection and training of the employees to meet the global requirements. It will determine project
aims and objectives along with the project management plan. Gantt chart and Work Break down
structure has been prepared which shows the time taken by the project activities. In addition to
this data is collected through questionnaire method which helps in providing proper
recommendations and conclusion to the project.
Rationale of the research
As in the today's modern world multinational companies are expanding their market so as
to enhance their brand image and attains maximum profitability for the company. For this
company should improve and enhance their recruitment and selection process so as to attract and
retain the prospective candidates and properly globalise its business (ajda, 2015).. Rationale of
the research is to analyse how multinational companies can improve their recruitment, selection
and training programmes an how it could help the company to meet its international requirement
and maintains sustainability in the global market. Through conducting this research it will help
the investigator to analyse proper method of selection and importance of offering training to the
employees.

TASK 1
P1 Project aim and objectives.
Research Aim
“To analyse the ways of improving recruitment, selection and training practices in an
organisation for meeting international requirements”- A study on Nestle
Research Objectives
 To gain the knowledge about recruitment, selection and training.
 To evaluate significance of recruitment, selection and training process for meet
international standards.
 To evaluate the ways by which organisation can improve their recruitment, selection and
training methods.
Research Questions
 What you know about recruitment, selection and training program?
 What is the most suitable way to improve the ways to give training, recruitment and
selection?
 What are the major benefits to improve the recruitment, selection and training
programmes?
Limitations of the study:
The some limitation of the research study is to face some kind of risk in getting accurate
results that are very much necessary for a researcher to reach at their desirable goals and
objectives in better manner. In context of Nestle that it is very much potential to collect
necessary knowledge and information about recruitment, selection and training while going
global so that organisation can get effective results by achieving talented personnel in their
organisation. So it is very much essential for an organisation to conduct through research and
development before going global so that they can get desirable goals and objectives in proper
way.
Project scope:
The scope of the research is very much important for an organisation to conduct and
evaluate the results in better way so that organisation can easily evaluate each and every attribute
before going global in better manner. The scope of the project is to evaluate the requirement of
recruitment, selection and training in new way while going global to meet international standards

(Carayannis, 2015).. So it helps to various organisations and students to get accurate knowledge
and information about kinds of strategies and tactics while going global so that potential results
should be achieved in better way.
Literature review:
Recruitment
According to Martin, (2016) Recruitment is a chain of activities in which whole activities should
be conducted with motive of selecting and retaining one of most competent candidate as per the
demand of organisation. Further it is a process in which a candidate should be judged on various
grounds as per organisational requirement and designation on which one should be selected.
(What is recruitment, 2016).
According to Ruth Mathew, (2019) “ Recruitments is very much important process for an
organisation for selection one of most competent and potential candidate as per the market needs
and demands for gaining competitive advantage. That process of recruitment and selection start
from checking skills and capabilities of an individual on various grounds and till to give
education regarding working process and pattern that proved helpful for organisation as well as
individual.(Explanation of recruitment Process, 2019).
According to William B. Werther and Keith Devis, (2018) “ Nestle is one of the most leading
food providers to gain higher no. of potential candidates to get competitive advantages. In order
to Nestle always focus on giving employment to those people who always curious to learn new
things and attributes rather some bullets points on their resume. Nestle is a company which is
based on its principles instead of earning profits(Definition of recruitment, 2018).
Selection
According to Kannan, (2018) “selection is a chain of activities in which organisation planned to
select candidates who come for interview then by evaluating their skills and capabilities give
them offer letter”. Further it is the process by which organisation planned to recruit one of most
competent members as per the requirement of an organisation (Kannan,2018).
According to Decenzo & Robbins, (2016) “Selection is an standard activity in which rules
and regulations should be followed by an organisation to select and retain one of most competent
candidate to achieve best organisational goals and objectives in better way.(Definition-of-
recruitment-and-selection, 2016).
Training

According to Burns, (2017), Training is a chain of activities that helps in giving skills and
knowledge to potential candidate to attain desirable goals and objective.
Further more it is a organised process that helps to organisation to give potential knowledge and
skills to an individual”.(Burns, 2017)
According to Carkhuff, (2017) “ Training is one of most important and pre determined activity
that helps to organisation as well as individual to give potential knowledge and information to
remain always competent in market place by finding gap. Further it is a process by which
organisation can be able to give competency to the employees so that they can give their best in
organisational growth and enhancement (Carkhuff, 2017).
Establish Gap – it is very much potential for an organisation to give potential training and
development to employees so that they can give their best in organisational development and
enhancement. For an organisation by giving training and development employees can be able to
give their best and it not only gives them motivation that organisation gives them importance.
(Morshed, 2016).
P2 Project Management Plan:
The project management plan is very much important for an organisation to depict various
factors that are very much important for the researcher and for the organisation on which
research should be conducted to get better results that are as follows:
Cost:
While conducting research each and every factor carrying some kind of cost that in
particular research Management have to spend 60000 pound and 30000 to enhance the
performance of the research project.
Scope of the project:
Scope of the project is very much important for an organisation that helps in evaluation
of various factors. In that particular research project with help of psychometric test, mind map
and many kinds of tools helps in evaluation of the potential kind of candidates in that particular
research project that helps to meet international standards (Coker, 2014).
Quality:
Quality is one of most important aspect for an organisation to give best quality products
and services to the ultimate consumer base in best way. In that particular research the by using
psychometric tests, brain mapping and online mode of selection helps in bringing higher level of

quality in their results to get better results that proved beneficial in perspective of the researcher
to get accurate results.
Risk:
Risk is an crucial factor for an organisation that should be evaluated in better way. It is
very much necessary to evaluate risk in better way. In that particular research by using the
benchmarking, balance score cards helps to eliminate risk factor at maximum level.
Communication:
Communication is very much important for an organisation to deal in effective manner
by framing the structure in which all orders and instructions passes through the chain to deliver
right kind of information to right person. While conducting research researcher determine the
structure to share the information so that profitable results should be accomplished.
Resources:
Resources are very much crucial for the researcher to get the rigth kind of outputs in
research. In that particular research the main resources are man, material, infrastructure and
many more.
P3 Time Framework
Work Break Down Structure
Work Break Down Structure in project management is deliverable oriented approach
which divides the whole project task into smaller activities or components. Therefore it helps the

team work manageable into small sections. This work break down structure is represented in a
hierarchical structure and dividing the project task into manageable sections helps the
investigator to determine the requirement of the resources so as to conduct the research activities
in a proper manner.
Gantt Chart
Gantt chart is a type of bar graph chart which is represented in the vertical form and
illustrates the project schedule. It also provides specific time intervals against the
project activities signifies their project start and competing date. Therefore it has a
greatest advantage of utilising the resources in a proper manner and has a disadvantage
that if the one the project activities take extra time all the further project activities get
disturbed.

TASK 2
P4 Research Methodology
Research philosophy:
Research philosophy refers to the set of beliefs in which reality being investigated to get
better results in benefit of an organisation (Kannan, 2018.). In that particular research the
epistemology should be taken as an research philosophy which depicts the valid knowledge and
information and sources to obtain in accurate manner. That kind of philosophy helps getting
reliable kind of knowledge and information to reach at desirable outcomes in better way.
Research approach:
Research approach concerned with approach that taken by researcher that can be either
inductive or deductive. In that particular research researcher used deductive kind of
approach that starts with the hypothesis and that hypothesis developed after the information

and knowledge that should be observed by the researcher to get better results to
accomplishing organisational goals and objectives in better way.
Research strategy:
The research strategy concerned with the by using particular research style a
researcher can be able to get better results (Kuhn, 2015). In that strategy method of data
collection and methods of research that can be able to get better outputs . in that following
research the primary and secondary kind of data and information should be used in which
primary data should be collected with help of questionnaires from the various respondents so that
accurate results should be achieve. On other hand secondary source of data collection also be
used by using various kinds of books, articles and journals and many more so that organization
can be able to get right kind of outputs. Further in that particular research data should be
collected by using quantitative data method that can be able to give measurable and accurate
kind of knowledge and information to the researcher and organisation to get right kind of outputs
in better way.
The research choices:
In research choices includes the mono method, the mixed method and multi kind of method that
helps an organisation to collect accurate kind of knowledge and information to reach at desirable
goals and objectives in better way. In that research multi method should be used so that
knowledge should be grab from multiple sources.
Time frame:
Time frame refers to the time period in which particular research should be conducted to
get right kind of knowledge and information (Morshed, 2016). As per the research onion there
are two kinds of time frame that are cross sectional and longitudinal. In context of research on
Nestle they use cross sectional kind of time frame in which pre time should be established for
collecting right kind of knowledge and information.
Data collection and analysis:
This is the final layer of research onion in which various kinds of tools and techniques
should be used. In that particular research both primary and secondary kind of data collection
should be used that helps in providing fruitful results for accomplishing right kind of knowledge
and information. In that research primary kind of data collection helps to give new kind of

information and also it is costly in nature with secondary research is easy to grab and not takes
too much time.
So it should be evaluated that research tools and techniques is very much important for an
organisation to reach at desirable goals and objectives in proper way.
