Abstract

The internship report "An Analysis of the Recruitment & Talent Acquisition Process at Meghna Group of Industries (MGI)" offers an in-depth look of the hiring procedures and difficulties in one of the biggest companies in Bangladesh.This report suggestsprovidingpractical information on the recruitment policies and systemsthat the human resources department of MGI has used to organize massive recruitment programs to meet the diverse workforce needs of its business units, which include manufacturing, logistics, textiles, and fast-moving consumer goodsand many more.As I worked in theHR department during my three-month internship, I was able to observe and carry out crucial duties such asscreening resumes, communicating with candidates, coordinating interviews, managing employee files,documenting, entering PMS dataand performingon boarding procedures. This study concludes that despite the systematic nature of the methods employed by MGI to acquire talents, which include identification, short listing, interviewing and on boarding of candidates, the system has several weaknesses. The high centralization of recruitment processes at headquarters, the administrative burden, and delays caused by coordination make large-scale recruitment campaigns ineffective. The department has not been using many HR technologies but still relies heavily on paper and manual communication; moreover, the recruitment process is complicated by the lack of standardized guidelines for documenting and assessing employees. Despite such challenges, the human resources department of MGI has a laudable track record of getting the right person in the right place at the right time, and this aspect has been attained through teamwork, multi-tasking and optimizing the available interns who enhance the operational efficiency significantly. The results highlight the extreme urgency of embracing digital hiring tools, decentralization of some HR processes, and a more standardized structure in order to increase productivity and improve the jobseeker experience. In addition to improving knowledge of business HR procedures, this report offers insightful suggestions for improving MGI's hiring process. As an intern, I saw the experience as a chance to develop real-world skills, comprehend actual HR difficulties, and close the knowledge gap between academic study and professional implementation.
