Abstract

The internship report on The Impact of the COVID-19 on the Recruitment & Selection Process of GetUp LTD as supervised by Said Hossain, Assistant Professor & Director (BBA Program) BRAC Business School at BRAC University, and co-supervised by Dr. Sumon Paul Das. The core objective of the report is to analyze the process of recruitment and selection in the company (GetUp Ltd.). The report is also purposed to exam to examine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic situation on the recruitment process; as well as, to examine the changing recruiting function in the company (GetUp Ltd.). I have conducted a qualitative study where I have collected both primary and secondary data to understand and interpret the dynamics of recruiting and selection process during Covid-19. For primary data, I have interviewed employees of the company through a close-ended questionnaire. The data is then analyzed based on commonality to make meaningful interpretations that addressed the core research objectives. As for secondary data, I have used documents and records that are allowed by the management of GetUp to use for the research purpose of this internship report. The report is divided into five parts or chapters. The first chapter of the report aims to provide a complete overview of the internship. It consists of relevant information and the outcome of the internship program that is experienced. The second chapter of the report is purposed for explaining the functions and overview of the organization where the internship is held. This chapter consists of the fundamental structures of the organization (GetUp Ltd.), its different management practice and its situational analysis. The third chapter deals with the project. It consists of the research overview, methodology, findings and analysis, summary, and implications. The main findings of the internship report are as followed: the recruitment and selection process of GetUp during Covid-19 was considered very positive overall by the recruited 7 employees. Although many employees have experienced some inconvenience in the recruitment process relative to the process that existed before the pandemic. A major recommendation of the study is to apply the information from recruited employees about the recruiting function to enhance the experience and effectiveness in the future.
