Critical analysis of the recruitment and selection process of Chevron Bangladesh

Abstract

Chevron Bangladesh is the largest producer of natural gas in our country. It supplies approximately 50% of Bangladesh’s natural gas consumption. In Bangladesh, Chevron has discovered three natural gas fields which are Jalalabad Field, Moulavi Bazar and Bibiyana Gas Field in the years 1998, 1999 and 1998 consecutively. Being one of the largest foreign investors and highest corporate taxpayers of the country, Chevron has been contributing to Bangladesh’s economy in several ways along with its various CSR activities. The Human Resources department of Chevron Bangladesh is not just the bridge between jobs and individuals looking for jobs. Chevron has always firmly believed that its employees are its biggest assets and the HR department ensures that the right person has been chosen for the right position. Chevron Bangladesh has a very thorough, transparent and systematic recruitment and selection process to hire the best candidates who are well equipped with required skills and qualities specific to the position and as well the best fit for ethics specific to the company and its culture. However, there are ways in which this process can be made more efficient. While the current process has always resulted in providing the right talented but not always at the right time since there are long gaps between certain steps which also reduces the value of the process. Lack of human resource or the failure to provide the resource at the time of need has a direct impact on the goal of improving organizational performance. Reducing the circular time can help the organization in avoiding such implications. This report has been one of my major tasks as an HR intern at Chevron Bangladesh. Besides giving me the opportunity to work with every single member of the HR team, this task has also resulted in a great understanding of the recruitment and selection process of such a dynamic organization like Chevron in terms of both strategic and administrative aspects which will definitely be of great help in my future endeavors and career. I hope my internship report will give a thorough insight to that as I have given my best to make it as detailed as possible while having restrictions and limitations.
