A company is manufacturing paper plates and bowls. It produces 1,00,000 plates and bowls each day. Due to a local festival, it got an urgent order of extra 50,000 plates and bowls. Advise how the company will fulfil its order and which method of recruitment would you suggest.
The company can fulfil its order by recruiting extra labour for a short time period. This can be done by using 'Direct Recruitment'. Under this method, a notice is placed on the notice-board specifying the details of the job available. Job seekers assemble outside the organisation's premises and selection is done on the job. This practice is followed usually for casual vacancies of unskilled or semi-skilled jobs. Such workers are called `badli' workers, as they are paid remuneration on daily basis.
