Abstract

Under the guidance of Tanzir Ahmed Choudhuri (Executive-Talent Acquisition and HR operations) and Md. Tamzidul Islam (Assistant Professor-BRAC Business School), this report has been prepared to analyze the recruitment process of Lafarge Surma Cement (LSC), which is a joint venture of Lafarge of France and Cementos Molins of Spain. In Chapter 1, I mentioned the purpose of producing this report, which is to depict the actual corporate experience and to present it. Few limitations that I faced during my internship and the methodology for collecting the information have also been provided. In the chapter 2, I have written about the emergence of LSC, the specific vision and commitments embedded in the company’s culture and its contribution in overall country’s economy. Short descriptions of the products and their unique characteristics have been provided. Furthermore, I discussed about the current shareholders and the head office management team. Moreover, I mentioned about the company’s different corporate social responsibilities and health and safety activities. Since my major was HRM, in Chapter 3, I tried to define human resource management from my perspective as well as from other specialist’s perspectives. The chain of command of the HR team has been shown in a diagram and brief descriptions of each position have been given. As I worked in recruitment sector of LSC, so I conducted a detailed study on this process of the company and mentioned about the specific activities during my internship period. Additionally, I have reflected on internship, to discuss the skills and knowledge I acquired and various aspects of my self-development. At the end, I have provided a number of recommendations based on my observations on the recruitment process of the company. The observed factors can be improved through the solutions I have provided. This is the most important part of the report because it actually reflects how well I analyzed the process, identified problems and suggested measures to solve the mentioned discrepancies.
