department When accepted to practice at IC Design, I am practicing in the company's HR department under the direction of Ms NGUYEN Ly Linh Currently, IC’s human resources department consists of three members, with the head of the department being the director of human resources Ms Linh and employees The department has the function of advising, administering, informing and performing administrative tasks as well as recruitment, personnel training, payroll and staff supervision Ms Linh has a Master of Business Administration degree, has over years of experience and has been trained in prestigious institutions at home and abroad The staff of the department also have many years of experience in administration and human resources (over years) They have graduated fairly well at major universities

human resources department of IC has gathered a good human resources, qualified, experienced and highly specialized to run the company's HR operations well 2.2 Reasons to choose the topic Human is an indispensable factor to any organization with a significantly important role in determining the success or failure of any enterprise, especially in the present stage In the increasingly competitive trend, strong human resources in both quantity and quality, both physically and mentally, are considered a competitive advantage leading enterprises to survive, stand and develop on the market There are many companies that are operating in the same business line, requiring them to fulfill the customer satisfaction, make their own mark on the market, and establish their own human resources, the most important factor in order to be successful With the strong development and high urbanization of Vietnamese economy at present, there are more and more building and tower, more and more people are interested in the design of housing In addition, the owners require not only beautiful furniture, but also have to show their own aesthetic taste, which requires skilled professionals to take care of Therefore, the works that the interior designers implemented need to be novel, innovative to bring the impression, unique and not mixed with any previous And also need to have interpersonal skills, expert in materials, professional skills,… in order to meet the demands of customers With this in mind, IC always puts the quality of human and design’s quality on the top priority, with the motto of always put themselves in the customer's place to feel and understand the desires and dreams of the people who will experience that space But at present, due to large market demand, lack of staffs with heavy workload, and even the company have to refuse works in order to give the perfect results for current customers There has a great deal of work pressure leading to many negative effects On the top of that, this job requires skilled and experienced personnel Therefore, IC is in the process of recruiting and training more staffs to meet the upcoming projects In the internship program, I contacted

sophistication in communication as well as good writing skills these skills which female employees better The male employees are allocated more in the design and technical department because it

methods to attract candidates and setting recruitment plans • Compare recruitment methods (insources, outsources, …) a Form of internal recruitment at the company The recruitment is usually through the following forms: - Moving employees internally into new positions due to promotion of the supervisor or the employee themselves based on the results of the work and the assessment of management - Promoting eligible employees - Students who practice at the company are qualified and have a desire to work at the company - Through the introduction of employees working at the company, or close relatives, friends to find a suitable person to work Because of the unique job, the internal recruitment form at the company is always preferred, especially two forms: the design staff at the company usually introduce relatives, friends and trainees want to become official staffs at the company after graduation The company has at least employees from the introduction of others and they immediately become official staffs until now This is a safe solution for the company because the staff has an understanding of the work and development goals of the department, the development orientation of the company; so they will adapt to new jobs more easily and easier to set goals However, the management and implementation of the work in the company is easy to become mold, lack of new components, breakthroughs, creativity in addition to the company may miss many qualified candidates outside social and easy to cause split in the company which will cause disunity b Form of external recruitment at the company In order not to fall into that situation, the company is now more focus on external recruitment: - From universities: The company organize employment workshop at National University of Civil Engineering last year and the result is quite good, when there are 15 candidates to sign the Probationary contracts, and in the end, candidate become official staff until now, but the source is not experienced and has to spend most of their time focusing on graduation - From the students who are intern at the company want to stay, now the number of these students are increasing significantly, so this is the most cost-effective candidate selection, but in opposite: The recruiting efficiency is not high because they are just students so they not have enough knowledges and experiences to get to work right away and the company The company has to spend a certain amount of capital to re-train and add more professional skills needed - From Social Network (Facebook, Twitter ): Nowadays, social network is used by everyone in the world and Vietnam is not an exception Therefore, so many recruitment fanpages are established in order to bring candidates closer to employers In the other hand, because there are so many people use, there are more job, more recruitment are posted including competiors The competition is huge and the candidates have more choices - not apply for only our company, which is harder to attract candidates - Internet recruitment websites: This is the place to post and search records, It is an effective source of quantity, giving the employer many choices to choose There are two options when posting jobs on the website The post is free of charge and others is charged - WebMail, Mail recruitment: This is the place to receive direct recruitment from candidates and job sites Candidates who read the recruiting information on the recruitment website will apply to the company’s account on the recruitment website or submit directly to the recruitment mail of the company Each source of recruitment has its strengths and weaknesses, none of which is good at all and non of which are ineffective, the choice of which source depends on the company want to recruit which position, at any time, from which to choose the appropriate sources At present the company is using these sources: posting recruitment on the job website and facebook, use webmail and mail recruitment Other sources are rarely use The recruitment of candidates from outside will be more professional, systematic, more selective candidates and more talents into the company However, this also means spending more money, more effort, and may have the status of recruited candidates are lack of loyalty to the company 16 So, in order to get the best candidates, the company decided to use both sources and mainly focus on: insources, facebook, website recruitment, webmail and mail recruitment 3.2.4 Compare recruitment websites (number of recruitments, candidates, fee ) As noted above, there are two options when posting jobs on the website The post is free of charge and others is charged • Post recruitment is free of charge: Available on recruiting sites such as: http://www.careerlink.vn/,http://www.timviecnhanh.com/,http://www.jobstreet.com/ These websites have little high quality CVs, There are no statistics on the number of applications submitted, CVs of candidates are often forwarded to the company’s recruiting mail so sometimes CVs of candidates are lost The company usually uses this • kind of free recruitment for low position requirements, not urgent Post recruitment is charged: At present, the company is using: careerbuilder as recruitment website As the top recruiting website, CareerBuilder.vn brings the optimal value to the user This site is owned by CareerBuilder USA - the world’s largest job and employment network In Vietnam, CareerBuilder.vn has been the choice of the leading companies with the advantages: rich source of data with more than 1,800,000 registered members Hundreds of thousands of complete and updated documents CareerBuilder.vn helps job seekers and employers reach their goals CareerBuilder.vn helps the community create a world where work and quality of work are more important Ms.Linh had give me an account to manage the recruitment website of careerbuilder for the company And i have more knowledge about this kind of recruitment The company has signed with careerbuilder years to recruit with over 30 million VND which is high But in the other hand, their customer care services are great They help us to become more prominent than other employers, and since we use this website, everyday has at least 2-3 CVs of candidates apply for us The quality of CVs are good and suitable, they also inform us about new applications through recruitment mail of company Thanks to them, the company has more CVs and there are many candidates are in the process of probation at the company In the near future, the company will continue cooperate with careerbuilder 3.2.5 Setting recruitment plans and recruitment process: 17 Based on previous preparation, the company satified with the selection on recruitment methods, content, and decided follow this recruitment process: Analyze recruitment needs Complete the application after Search and attract signing Receiving and screening Evaluate probation applicartion Carry out probation Interview Figure 3: Recruiment process This is the general recruitment process applied for almost all positions; however, there may be some necessary changes in the
